Kinesiology Final T/F
Each toe has three interphalangeal joints except for the great toe which has only two.
False
Hip flexion is movement of the femur straight posteriorly toward the pelvis.
False
The iliofemoral or Y ligament is located posteriorly and prevents hyperextension.
False
The cuboid bone is located medially with respect to the navicular bone.
False (cuboid bone is located laterally with respect to the navicular bone)
The acetabulum inserts into the femoral head to form the acetabular femoral joint.
False (femoral head inserts into the acetabulum to form the acetabular femoral joint)
An ankle sprain is a common injury that involves the stretching or tearing of one or more tendons.
False (sprains are stretching or tearing of ligaments)
A substantial number of low back problems are caused by improper use of the back over time.
True
Muscles that are considered to be wrist flexors include the flexor carpi radialis, 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 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
The normal curves of the cervical and lumbar spines are lordotic.
True
The obturator nerve innervates both the adductor longus and gracilis muscles.
True
Dorsiflexion is the dorsal aspect of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia.
True
The tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps 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.
True
The right and left pelvis are joined together by the sacrum at the right and left sacroiliac joints.
True
The tibia bears the majority of the weight as compared to the fibula.
True
Each thoracic vertebra has one pair of ribs that attaches to it laterally.
True
Functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomotion.
True
Ulnar flexion is movement of little finger side of hand toward medial aspect or ulnar side of the forearm.
True
Vertebrae increase in size from the cervical to the lumbar region because the lower back supports more weight.
True
