Kinesiology Exam 3 (T&F)

An ankle sprain is a common injury that involves the stretching or tearing of one or more tendons.

False

Both the tibialis posterior muscle and the flexor digitorum longus muscle are innervated by the tibial nerve (S1, S2).

False

Hip flexion refers to the movement of the femur in the frontal plane laterally to the side away from the midline.

False

Immediately prior to and during normal toe-off, the foot should be in pronation and the leg should be in external rotation.

False

Kyphosis is increased posterior concavity of the thoracic curve of the vertebral column.

False

Six pairs of ribs attach directly to the sternum via a separate costal cartilage.

False

The acetabular femoral joint is reinforced by an extremely weak ligamentous capsule and the stability of this joint is attributed to the surrounding musculature.

False

The cuboid bone is located medially with respect to the navicular bone.

False

The femoral condyles articulate with the fibular condyles during flexion of the knee.

False

The hamstring muscles function as a decelerator of the knee when decreasing speed to change direction and especially when landing from a jump.

False

The horizontal indentations that transect the rectus abdominis muscle, giving it a segmented appearance, are the linea alba.

False

The lateral collateral ligament is more frequently injured than other knee joint ligaments.

False

The lateral collateral ligament originates on the lateral femoral condyle distally to the popliteus muscle origin and inserts on the fibular head.

False

The semimembranosus muscle inserts anteromedially on the medial tibial condyle.

False

The semitendinosus muscle is located laterally and internally rotates the knee.

False

The spinous processes are located anterior with respect to the vertebral bodies.

False

The vertebral column has 32 pairs of spinal nerves.

False

A sideward deviation of the spine is known as scoliosis.

True

Articular cartilage is located on the surfaces of both the femur and tibia.

True

As the knee approaches full extension, the tibia must externally rotate approximately 10 degrees to achieve proper alignment of the tibial and femoral condyles.

True

Functions of the abdominal muscles include assisting in spinal stabilization and respiration.

True

Functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomotion.

True

Increased pressure on the spinal nerves may result from a herniated lumbar disc and may result in radiating pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the lower extremity.

True

Motions of the metatarsophalangeal joints of toes include flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.

True

Reduction of the spine is defined as a return movement from lateral flexion to a neutral position.

True

The erector spinae iliocostalis muscles are considered to be agonist muscles during extension of the spine.

True

The extensor hallucis longus muscle can perform weak inversion of the foot.

True

The femoral nerve arises from the posterior division of the lumbar plexus and innervates the anterior muscles of the thigh.

True

The fibula is not part of the ginglymus articulation of the knee joint.

True

The flexor hallucis longus muscle is innervated by the tibial nerve (L5, S1, S2).

True

The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that consists of the head of the femur connecting with the acetabulum of the pelvic girdle. Group starts

True

The iliotibial tract of the tensor fasciae latae muscle inserts on Gerdy's tubercle.

True

The linea alba runs vertically from the xiphoid process through the umbilicus to the pubis and divides the rectus abdominis muscle.

True

The normal curves of the cervical and lumbar portions of the spine are lordotic.

True

The pelvic girdle consists of a right and left pelvic bone joined together posteriorly by the sacrum.

True

The pubofemoral ligament is located anteromedially and inferiorly and limits excessive extension and abduction.

True

The rectus abdominis muscle can control the tilt of the pelvis when contracting.

True

The sartorius, the gracilis, and the semitendinosus muscles insert on the anterior medial surface of the tibia just below the condyle.

True

The tibialis anterior muscle performs dorsiflexion of the ankle in the sagittal plane.

True

The vertebral column has 24 articulating vertebrae.

True
