Kinesiology Final
Bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses that are placed upon them.
True
Both the size and shape of bones can limit or allow movement.
True
Diagonal abduction is movement by a limb through a diagonal plane away from midline of body
True
Diarthrodial joints are also known as synovial joints.
True
Longitudinal bone growth continues as long as epiphyseal plates are open.
True
Of all the movements possible in the joints of the body, flexion/extension is the most commonly occurring.
True
Movements in the transverse plane occur around which axis?
Vertical
Motion between the articular surfaces of bone is known as
arthrokinematics
The three specific types of accessory motions are described as
roll, spin, and glide
Movement of the little finger side of the hand toward the forearm in the lateral plane is
ulnar flexion
Abduction takes place around which axis?
Anteroposterior
Which of the following is the correct definition of Biomechanics?
Application of mechanical physics to human motion
During an underhand softball pitch that does not involve a windmill windup, the hand holding the ball is moved to a posterior position with respect the torso prior to the forward swing of the arm that releases the ball. In what order do the movements occur at the shoulder joint to make this motion possible?
Extension, flexion
Aging induces a progressive increase of collagen in bone that results in an increase in brittleness.
False
Cancellous bone is stiffer and therefore can withstand greater stress but less strain than cortical bone
False
Cortical bone has a low degree of porosity which consists of approximately 5-30% mineralized tissue.
False
The scapula is an example of an irregular bone.
False
The shape of bones does not limit movement.
False
Typical bony features include tendons, epiphysis, and articular cartilage.
False
Each of the following joints allows a slight amount of motion to occur except?
Gomphosis
Which of the following is not an example of a movement in the Sagittal plane?
Lateral flexion
Which of the following is not a function performed by the skeletal system?
Production of heat
Which of the following best describes the anatomical location of the head with respect to the left arm?
Superior and medial
