Domain 1: Basic and applied sciences and nutritional concepts

Question 1

Which of the following best describes a function of lipids in the body?

Answer 1

A precursor to hormone production

Question 2

For the best results, how should calcium supplements be consumed?

Answer 2

Spaced throughout the day.

note
Calcium carbonate should be taken with food. Stomach acid produced while eating helps your body absorb calcium carbonate

Question 3

What are the muscles of the global stabilization system primarily responsible for?

Answer 3

Transferring loads between the upper and lower extremities

Question 4

What is blood pressure (BP)?

Answer 4

It is the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels.

Question 5

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

ANTERIOR

Answer 5

The front side of the body

Question 6

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

POSTERIOR

Answer 6

The backside of the body

Question 7

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Superior

Answer 7

On top of, or above

Ex: The head is superior to the shoulders and hips

Question 8

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Inferior

Answer 8

Below, or under

Ex: The Shoulders and hips are inferior to the head

Question 9

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Proximal

Answer 9

Closer to the center of the body

Ex: The shoulders are more proximal to the center of the body than the wrists

Question 10

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Distal

Answer 10

Further from the center of the body

Ex: The wrists are distal (more distant) compared to the shoulders.

Ex2: The elbows are proximal compared to the wrists, but distal compared to the shoulders.

Question 11

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Medial

Answer 11

Closer to the midline of the body

Ex: The pecs are medial to the deltoids

Question 12

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Lateral

Answer 12

Further from the midline of the body

Ex: Deltoids are more lateral than the pecs

Question 13

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Contralateral

Answer 13

on the opposite side of the body

Ex: The left hand is contralateral to the right ankle

Question 14

ANATOMIC LOCATION-

Ipsilateral

Answer 14

On the same side of the body

Ex: The left hand is ipsilateral to the left ankle

Question 15

PLANES OF MOTION-MOTIONS-EXAMPLE

1. FRONTAL PLANE

Answer 15

Cuts body in half from front and back

Motions: Adduction/abduction, lateral flexion, eversion/inversion

Examples: side lateral raise, side lunge, side shuffle

Question 16

Joint motions:

Eversion + Inversion

Plantarflexion + Dorsiflexion

(Only occurs at the foot)

Answer 16

Eversion: Turning the outer edge of the foot out
Inversion: Turning the inner edge of the foot in

Plantarflexion: Extending the ankle. Pointing the toes down (Hint: plant the big toe into the ground)
Dorsiflexion: Flexing the ankle. Pointing toes up, heels down.

Question 17

PLANES OF MOTION-MOTIONS-EXAMPLE

2. Sagittal plane

Answer 17

Cuts body in half from left side and right

Motions: Flexion/extension

Examples: Bicep curls, tricep pushdown, squat

Question 18

PLANES OF MOTION-MOTIONS-EXAMPLE

3. Transverse plane

Answer 18

Splits the body in half from lower extremity and upper extremity

Motions: rotation, horizontal adduction/horizontal abduction

Examples: Throwing, golfing, swinging a bat

Question 19

Joint Motions:

Extension
Flexion

Answer 19

Extension: straightening movement; increasing the angle between segments

Flexion: bending movement; decreasing the angle between segments

Flex/extend the elbow

Question 20

Joint motion:

Adduction
Abduction

Hint mostly occurs at the shoulders, fingers, hips and toes

Answer 20

Adduction: moving in the frontal plane towards the middle of the body

Ex: Arm is extended in front of the body, and then lowers down to the side body.

Abduction: moving in the frontal plane away from the middle of the body

Ex: Arm goes from being at the side body to extending it out in front of the body.

Question 21

Joint motion:

Horizontal adduction
Horizontal abduction

Answer 21

Horizontal adduction: transverse plane arm movement from lateral to anterior.
Ex: Arms are out in a T, then you bring the hands together for a chest fly.

Horizontal abduction: transverse plane arm movement from anterior to lateral.
Ex: Moving arms from a chest fly to a reverse chest fly

Question 22

Joint motion:

Internal rotation
External rotation

Answer 22

Internal rotation: rotation towards the middle of the body

External rotation: rotation away from the middle of the body

Question 23

Joint motion:

Pronation vs Supination

Hint Mostly occurs at hand, arm, & foot.

Answer 23

Pronation: when hand/arm is pointing down or when the weight in the feet point inward

Supination: when hand/arm is pointing up or when the weight in the feet points outward. (Hint: hand is cuffed like a bowl for soup)
