Kinesiology Ch. 6
True or False Lateral epicondylitis is a condition that occurs less commonly than medial epicondylitis.
F
True or False Movement at the elbow by the forearm away from the shoulder is accurately described by the term "flexion".
F
True or False Supination refers to internal rotary movements of the radius on ulna.
F
True or False The elbow joint is a hinge-type joint that allows for internal and external rotation.
F
True or False The insertion of the brachialis muscle is the coracoid process of the ulna.
F
True or False The insertion of the brachioradialis muscle is the proximal end of the radius at the styloid process.
F
True or False The lateral supracondylar ridge is an anatomical landmark located on the ulna.
F
True or False The olecranon process is located on the medial aspect of the ulna.
F
True or False The radial head sits inside of the capitulum and is held in place by the annular ligament.
F
True or False The scapula and clavicle serve as the proximal attachments for the muscles that flex extend the elbow.
F
True or False While in the anatomical position the radius is medial with respect to the ulna.
F
True or False Bony stability of the elbow in full extension is enhanced by the olecranon process fitting into the olecranon fossa.
T
True or False Medial epicondylitis is also known as golfer's elbow.
T
True or False Motion of the elbow primarily involves movement between articular surfaces of the humerus and ulna.
T
True or False Normal bony limitation of elbow flexion is limited by the coranoid process fitting into the coranoid fossa.
T
True or False Positioning the forearm in pronation reduces the effectiveness of the biceps brachialis in flexing the elbow.
T
True or False The distal attachments of the radioulnar joint muscles are located on the radius.
T
True or False The insertion of the biceps brachii muscle is the radial tuberosity.
T
True or False The insertion of the triceps brachial muscle is the ole crayon process of the ulna.
T
True or False The origin of the biceps brachii muscle includes the supraglenoid tubercle above the superior lip of the glenoid fossa.
T
True or False The pronator teres is innervated by the median nerve.
T
True or False The radial collateral ligament provides lateral stability to the elbow and is rarely injured.
T
True or False The ulna is much larger proximally than the radius.
T
True or False When performing a push-up the biceps brachii is considered to be an antagonist muscle.
T
True or False When the arm is held in the anatomical position the radial tuberosity is in close proximity to lateral side of the ulna.
