David Kiel Flashcards
The two proteins that make up connective tissue are
collagen and elastin
Collagen contributes to the strength of connective tissue and
elastin contributes of flexibility of connective tissue.
True
Ligaments are located
around the junction of two bones
Ligaments can usually heal on their own when they are torn.
False
The function of ligaments is:
to restrict or allow movement in specific directions at a joint
Tendons are located:
at the ends of muscles that attach to bones
Three types of fascia are:
superficial fascia, visceral fascia, and deep fascia
The function of the endoderm is to:
create our internal organs
The function of the ectoderm is to
create the outermost layers of the body, the skin, and the nervous system
The specific functions of the skeletal system are
support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.
The three types of bone connective tissue are periosteum,
medullary cavity, and bone marrow. True or False
False
The periosteum is located:
surrounding the outer surface of the bone
The two minerals that are responsible for making our bones hard are
phosphorus and calcium
The three types of bone cells are osteoblasts, osteocytes, and
osteoclasts. True or False
True
A joint is defined as:
the location where two bones come together and movement happens
When a joint allows for little or no movement it is called
synarthrosis. True / False
True
Bones are alive and react to stresses placed on them.
True
The parts that make up the structure of the ankle include
the tibia, the talus, and the fibula
Side to side motion at the ankle is called
inversion and eversion
Forward and backward motion at the ankle is called:
dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
The three arches of the foot include the internal longitudinal,
external longitudinal, and medial longitudinal arches. True / False
False
The lateral longitudinal arch of the foot is located:
along the outside of the foot
The three points that connect the three arches in the foot are the center of the heel, base of the middle toe, and base of the little toe. True / False
False
The three components that create and maintain arches in the foot are:
bones, connective tissue, and musculature
The four movements that the ankle can do are plantar flexion,
dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion. True or False
True
The three muscular compartments in the foreleg are
posterior, anterior, and lateral
The 3 main joints that make up a kinetic chain in the leg are
the ankle, the knee, and the hip
The general function of the knee is to
guide and direct movements of the leg
The 3 bones that come together at the knee are the
the femur, the tibia, and the patella
The technical name for the knee is the
femorotibial joint
The name of the joint where the patella meets the femur is the
patellofemoral joint
The two primary movements of the knee are
flexion and extension
The 4 main ligaments of the knee are medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and the posterior cruciate ligament. True / False
True
The main muscles that cross the knee joint are the quadriceps, hamstrings, piriformis, and the gluteus maximus. True / False
False
