Name this type of synovial joint.
Ball-and-socket.
100
Identify the muscle.
Deltoid.
100

Tendon.
200
The scapula is _____________ to the clavicle.
The scapula is posterior to the clavicle.
200
Name the bones of the pectoral girdle.
Clavicle and scapula.
200
The sutures between the bones of the cranium form what type of joint?
Fibrous.
200
A bundle of muscle fibers is called a _______.
Fascicle.
200
In what structure or region of long bones is the majority of red bone marrow found?
Spongy bone and/or epiphyses.
300
What joint movement is shown here?
Shoulder lateral rotation (or external rotation)
300
This is an anterior view of what lower extremity bone?
Tibia.
300
Describe the relationship between mobility and stability in joints.
Mobility and stability are inversely related. As mobility increases, stability decreases and vice versa.
300
Identify this muscle group and state its action.
Iliopsoas. Responsible for hip flexion.
300
Analyze the exercise shown below. Include all of the following: Joint name, movement name, plane, axis, agonist, antagonist, and contraction type.
Joint: Hip
Movement: Extension
Plane: Sagittal
Axis: Frontal
Agonist: Gluteals
Antagonist: Iliopsoas
Contraction Type: Concentric
400
Describe the specific anatomical location of this fracture.
Distal end of the left femur.
400
What are the two primary biochemical components which make up the extracellular matrix of bone tissue?
[Hint: What did you learn from the chicken bones in our bone lab?]
Calcium phosphate minerals and collagen proteins.
400
What specific type of joint exists at your first knuckle (aka metacarpo-phalangeal joint)?
Synovial condyloid joint
400
Match each Olympian with their gastrocnemius fiber type composition.
Marathon = B
Shot Put = A
Basketball = C
400
What was Coach Hanna's high school mascot?
500
List and analyze the joint movements that can occur at the wrist. Include the movement name, plane, and axis for each movement.
Movement Names: Flexion and Extension
Plane: Sagittal
Axis: Frontal
Movement Names: Abduction and Adduction
Plane: Frontal
Axis: Sagittal
Bonus: Circumduction
500
Name four of the major functions of the skeletal system.
Protection, support and maintenance of posture, attachment points for muscles (supporting movement), production of blood cells, storage and release of minerals, and storage of energy.
500
Describe what makes synovial joints unique compared to the other general joint types.
Synovial joints have a fluid-filled capsule between articulating bones.
500
Explain the size principle of motor unit recruitment.
Motor units are recruited in order from smallest to largest in response to increasing demand for strength. Small, type I motor units are recruited first, followed by medium-sized, type IIa motor units, and large, type IIx motor units are recruited last.
500
What is this machine called, and what does it do?
Isokinetic dynamometer. It measures the force (torque) produced at different joint angles while moving at a constant rate.
