The deltoid is innervated by this nerve

What is the axillary nerve?

100

The sciatic nerve branches into these two nerves that innervate muscles of the anterior and posterior leg

What are tibial and common fibular?

100

This biomarker of bone is generally higher in children

What is alkaline phosphatase?

100

This portion of the sarcomere only contains thin filaments

What is the I band?

100

This phenomenon occurs due to relative lack of ATP when muscles are in contractile state

What is rigor mortis?

200

This condition may result from damage of the upper trunk of C5-C6 nerves

What is Erb's palsy?

200

This muscle is generally weakened in a person who is positive for a Trendelenburg sign

Bonus: This nerve may be damaged in the above patient

What is the gluteus medius?

Bonus: What is the superior gluteal nerve?

200

Hyaline cartilage is primarily made up of this type of collagen

What is Type II collagen?

200

More of this ion exists inside of the cell (compared to outside the cell)

What is K+?

200

This helps to support the neck and serves as an attachment site for the trapezius and the rhomboid minor

What is the ligamentum nuchae?

300

These are the muscles that make up the rotator cuff

What are Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis?

300

The hamstrings originate from this bone

Bonus: These three muscles make up the hamstrings

What is the ischial tuberosity?

What are the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendenosus

300

Most bones in the body are synthesized through this type of bone formation

What is endochondral?

300

Malignant hyperthermia may occur under anesthesia and is related to dysfunction of these sarcoplasmic channels

Bonus: This muscle relaxant is generally used as treatment

What are Ryanodine receptors?

Bonus: What is dantrolene?

300

A FOOSH is most likely to result in a fracture of this location

What is the distal radius?

400

Damage to the long thoracic nerve may result in this condition

What is winged scapula?

400

A valgus stress test will determine this type of knee injury

What is MCL?

400

Hyaline cartilage on articular surfaces lacks this

What is Perichondrium?

400

These are the four phases of an action potential

Bonus: This triggers an action potential

What are rising phase, overshoot, falling phase, undershoot?

What is Na+ influx

400

This will appear dull in T1 MRI imaging but will be bright in T2 MRI imaging

What is fluid?

500

A patient presenting with "Saturday night" palsy will have damage to this nerve, and will be unable to perform these actions

What is the radial nerve

What are elbow/wrist extension

500

This versatile foot joint is responsible for a variety of weight-bearing actions and is comprised of the TCN and calcaneocuboid joints

What is the transverse tarsal joint?

500

Acute osteoporosis increases production of these molecules (2), resulting in rapid resorption/bone loss

What are RANKL and M-CSF?

500

These two components of muscle spindles are sensitive to length change during contraction, which ensures that the muscle will respond appropriately to stretch

Alpha/gamma motoneurons

500

Neutral hand position (ideal functional position) involves wrist extension at this angle

What is 20 degrees?
