Kinesiology test 1

Anteroposterior

Abduction takes place around which axis?

False

Antagonist muscles are known as primary or prime movers or muscles most involve in a joint action.

True

Bone size and shape are influenced by both the direction and magnitude of applied forces.

True

Bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses that are placed upon them.

True

Diarthrodial joints are also known as synovial joints.

False

During the process of bone remodeling osteoblasts reabsorb existing bone and osteoblasts form new bone.

True

Each muscle in the human body may be innervated by a single nerve or multiple nerves.

False

Eccentric muscle "actions" result from isometric muscle contractions.

True

Isotonic contractions are described as either concentric or eccentric on basis of whether shortening or lengthening of the muscles occurs.

False

Joint movement may occur without any muscle contraction.

Excitability, Contractility, Extensibility, Elasticity

List the four properties of muscle tissue.

Arthrodial, Condyloidal, Enarthrodial, Ginglymus, Seller, Trochoidal

List the six types of diarthrodial/synovial joints.

True

Longitudinal bone growth continues as long as epiphyseal plates are open.

True

Most outer bone is composed of cortical bone with cancellous bone underneath.

Arthrokinematics

Motion between the articular surfaces of bone is known as?

Ulnar flexion

Movement of the little finger side of the hand toward the forearm in the lateral plane is?

Vertical

Movements in the transverse plane occur around which axis?

Nerve

Muscles are usually named due to all of the following except?

Attachment points for other muscles

Muscles provide all of the flollowing except?

True

Of all the movements possible in the joints of the body, flexion/extension is the most commonly occurring.

False

One of the functions of articular cartilage is to separate the diaphysis and epiphysis.

Transverse

Shaking the head "No" occurs in which plane?

Front and back halves

The frontal plane divides the body into?

False

The medullary canal is located at the ends of long bones.

Tripennate

The pinnate type of muscle fiber arrangement may be classified by the following terms except?

Proprioception

The subconscious mechanism by which the body is able to regulate posture and movement is?

True

The term "action" refers to a specific movement of a joint that occurs as a result from a concentric muscle contraction.

True

The term "intrinsic" usually pertains to muscles within or belonging solely to the body part upon which they act.

Roll, spin, and glide

The three specific type of accessory motions are described as?

True

There are two major types of fiber arrangements which are parallel and pinnate.

Dorsiflexion

What term is used to describe the motion of bringing the dorsum of the foot closer to the anterior of the leg?

True

When antagonist muscles contract concentrically they perform the opposite joint motion of the agonist muscle.

Superior and medial

Which of the following best describes the anatomical location of the head with respect to the left arm?

Golgi Organ

Which of the following is a proprioceptor associated with muscle tissue?

Causes a joint motion through a specified plane of motion when contracting concentrically

Which of the following is a true statement regarding agonist muscles?

Peripheral

Which of the following is not a classification of neuron type?

Constrictablity

Which of the following is not a property of skeletal muscle tissue that allows for force production and movement about joints?

Radial

Which of the following is not a shape by which muscles are categorized?

These muscles work against agonist muscles by contracting and preventing movement

Which of the following is not a true statement regarding antagonist muscles?

Commonly described as being a negative type of contraction

Which of the following is not true regarding concentric muscle contractions?

Neuron

Which of the following is the basic functional unit of the nervous system responsible for generating and transmitting nervous impulses?

Study of motion of human movement

Which of the following is the correct definition of Kinesiology?

Combination of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction

Which of the following is true regarding circumduction?

Circumduction

Which of the following movements occur at the shoulder joint but not at the knee?

Typically called a positive type of muscle contraction

Which of the foollowing is not true regarding and eccentric muscle action?
