False - ligaments, not tendons
The ____________ vertebrae serve as a link between the thoracic spine-rib cage and the head.

C2 cervical vertebrae is unique due to presence of

Triceps surae refers to the

False
A substantial number of low back problems are caused by improper use of the back over time.
True
Dorsiflexion is the dorsal aspect of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia.
True
Each thoracic vertebrae has one pair of ribs that attaches to it laterally.
True
Functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomotion.
True
Muscles that are considered to be wrist flexors include the flexor carpi radials, flexor carpi ulnaris, and palmaris longus.
True
Normally, the hip joint can be abducted to approximately 35 degrees.
True
The body will gradually, over time, attempt to adapt very specifically to the various stresses and overloads to which it is subjected
True
The femoral nerve innervates essentially all of the hip flexor muscles.
True
The iliofemoral or Y ligament is located posteriorly and prevents hyperextension.
True
The most palpable point of the femur at the hip is the greater trochanter.
True
The names of individual phases of sports skills may vary depending upon body part involved.
True

True
The obturator nerve innervates both the adductor longus and gracilis muscles.
True
The patella is classified as an "irregular" bone.
True
The patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension.

The tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles.
True
Ulnar flexion is movement of little finger side of hand toward medial aspect or ulnar side of forearm.
True
Vertebrae increase in size from the cervical to the lumbar region because the lower back supports more weight.
