C) The hips
D) All of the answers are correct.

Question 16

Phagocytic cells clean up the mess created by an injury in the _____ of the healing process.

A) inflammatory response phase
B) maturation-remodeling phase
C) fibroblastic repair phase
D) scar alignment phase

Question 17

Which of the following phases of healing features a realignment or remodeling of scar tissues?

A) The inflammatory response phase
B) The fibroblastic phase
C) The maturation-remodeling phase
D) The proliferative endometrium phase

Question 18

Question 19

Which cells lay down extra bone formation over a fracture?

A) Osteoclasts
B) Osteoblasts
C) Osteocytes
D) Osteomytes

Question 20

A _____ occurs when at least one bone in a joint is forced completely out of its normal and proper alignment and must be manually or surgically put back into place.

A) dislocation
B) subluxation
C) sprain
D) contusion

Question 21

Which of the following is characterized by increased muscle tension, swelling, and resistance to stretching following exercise?

A) Delayed-onset muscle soreness
B) Tenosynovitis

Question 22

What type of injury occurs when a bone comes partially out of its normal articulation then goes right back into place?

A) Dislocation
B) Stress fracture
C) Avulsion fracture
D) Subluxation

Question 23

Fractures occur as a result of extreme stresses and strains that are placed on bones.

Question 24

In the periosteum, osteoblasts provide nutrients to the bone; blood vessels provide cells for bone growth.

Question 25

Muscle soreness is a result of lack of exercise.

Question 26

A first time dislocation should be considered and treated as a fracture.

Question 27

A strain involves damage to a ligament, and a sprain involves damage to a muscle.

Question 28

Increased muscle tension through strengthening can help stabilize the joint sufficiently to compensate for the loss of stability in a grade 3 sprain.

Question 29

The two most commonly contused muscles are the quadriceps and the biceps group.

Question 30

Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the tendon sheath that causes the sliding tendon to adhere to the synovial sheath.

Question 31

Any process that changes the mechanics of a joint can eventually lead to osteoarthritis.

Question 32

Osteoarthritis occurs around joints, where there is friction between tendon and bone, skin and bone, or muscle and other muscles.

Question 33

A grade 3 muscle strain involving a large tendon can usually be healed by immobilizing the injured body part with a splint.

Question 34

A trigger point is a tight band of muscle occurring in the neck, upper back, and lower back.

Question 35

Specialized tissue, such as a nerve cell, can regenerate even after the cell body dies.
