Exam 1: Foundations of Structural Kinesiology

Typical bony features include diaphysis, epiphysis, and articular cartilage.

Cancellous bone is stiffer and can withstand greater stress, but less strain, than cortical bone.

The endosteum is located at the ends of long bones.

Abduction is an example of movement in a coronal plane about an anteroposterior axis.

Which of the following terms means related to, or situated to the left or on the left side of, something?

Bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses that are placed upon them.

Which of the following terms refers to a position of the foot and ankle resulting from a combination of ankle plantar flexion, subtalar inversion, and forefoot adduction?

Motion of the bones relative to the three cardinal planes resulting from physiological movements is known as _____.

Adduction movement at the wrist in the frontal plane of the little finger side of the hand toward the medial forearm is called _____.

Knee extension occurring from femoral condyles rotating forward on tibia as a person stands from a squatting position is an example of the accessory motion called _____.

What term is used to describe the movement of the ankle that results in the top of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia in the sagittal plane?

Diarthrodial joints are also known as synovial joints.

Bone size and shape are influenced by both the direction and magnitude of forces that are habitually applied to them.

Both the size and the shape of bones can limit or allow movements.

Bone is composed of all of the following except _____.

Diagonal abduction is movement by a limb through a diagonal plane away from the midline of the body.

Both sesamoid and accessory bones occur in same numbers in individuals.

One of the functions of articular cartilage is to separate the diaphysis and epiphysis.

If the knee were not able to slide, the femur would _____ when going from flexion to extension on a stationary tibia.

Aging causes progressive gain of collagen and increases bone brittleness.
