Expanded end of a long bone

Question 18

The diaphysis of an adult long bone primarily contains red bone marrow: T or F

Answer 18

FALSE
Correction: Yellow bone marrow

Question 19

What is the diaphysis

Answer 19

the shaft of a long bone

Question 20

Answer 20

growth plate region (neck portion of long bone between the epiphysis and diaphysis)

Question 21

Medullary cavity

Answer 21

hollow space: contains yellow fatty bone marrow in adults

Question 21

Medullary cavity

Answer 21

hollow space: contains yellow fatty bone marrow in adults

Question 22

What does the Articular cartilage do?

Answer 22

Covers joint surface

Question 23

Answer 23

Covers the articular surfaces of the bone

Question 24

Answer 24

Synovial fluid

Question 25

What is the synovial membrane?

Answer 25

Inner layer of the articular capsule

Question 26

What is the fibrous layer of a synovial joint?

Answer 26

Outer layer of the articular capsule

Question 27

What movements are possible at the hip joint?

Answer 27

Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction and hip rotation

Question 28

What are the ligaments of the joint capsule?

Answer 28

1). Isochiofermoral
2). Iliofemoral
3). Pubofemoral

Question 29

What are the two sources of blood supply to the hip joint?

Answer 29

1). Femoral artery
2). Obturator artery

Question 30

All blood supply to the hip ultimately comes from external iliac artery: T or F

Answer 30

True

Question 31

Heel-strike

Answer 31

momentum produces forward motion
Ex: running
Gluteus max and hamstrings prevent trunk from lurching forward

Question 32

Stance leg during single-support

Answer 32

hip abductors hold trunk upright over stance leg
center of gravity is medial to the limb; creates balance control

Gluteus medius and minimus hold trunk upright over stance leg

Question 33

Toe-off

Answer 33

Plantarflexion produces forward motion

*Post. leg muscles, tibial nerve *

Question 34

Swing leg

Answer 34

Dorsiflexion prevents toes from dragging on the ground

Ant. leg muscles, deep fibular nerve

Question 35

What is the role of gluteus medius and minimus in walking?

Answer 35

Stabilizes the pelvis by preventing pelvic drop
during single-support stance the body tends to drop towards the unsupported side
