Questions and Answers

Which of the following is the MOST accurate comparison of structural and functional joint classifications?

  • Fibrous joints are functionally classified as diarthroses, allowing for free movement.
  • Synovial joints are structurally diverse, all being functionally classified as amphiarthrotic, permitting slight movement.
  • Synarthrotic joints, characterized by high mobility, are primarily classified as synovial joints.
  • Cartilaginous joints include synchondroses and symphyses, providing both amphiarthrotic and synarthrotic movement capabilities. (correct)

A weightlifter is performing a bicep curl. At the beginning of the curl, with the elbow fully extended, which type of lever system is primarily in action at the elbow joint?

  • Zero-class lever, where the force and resistance are equal, creating a balanced system.
  • First-class lever, with the elbow joint as the fulcrum between the force of the bicep and the resistance of the weight.
  • Second-class lever, with the weight in the hand (resistance) between the elbow joint (fulcrum) and the force of the bicep.
  • Third-class lever, with the bicep muscle applying force between the elbow joint (fulcrum) and the weight in the hand (resistance). (correct)

If a patient has damage to their motor neurons, impacting the delivery of signals to muscle fibers, which of the following structures would be DIRECTLY affected?

  • Neuromuscular junction (correct)
  • Sarcomere
  • Myofilaments
  • Endomysium

Flashcards

Axial Skeleton

Bones of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, providing central support and protection.

Appendicular Skeleton

Bones of the limbs and their girdles (pectoral and pelvic), enabling movement and interaction with the environment.

Ligaments

Connect bone to bone; provides joint stability.

Articulation (Joint)

A point where two or more bones meet, allowing movement and providing stability.
