Osteology: Exam 2

Question 1

The CMC1 joint of the thumb is highly mobile because it is a double sellar joint.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

This is a powerful extensor of the forearm. It can also stabilize the shoulder joint and assist in arm adduction.

Answer 2

Triceps. Anconeus is a forearm extensor, but not powerful. Therefore,
None of these are correct:
brachioradialis, anconeus, brachiali, biceps brachii

Answer 3

Serratus anterior

Question 4

The anterior cruciate ligament of the knee prevents anterior displacement of the tibia.

Answer 4

True

Question 5

This muscle can flex any or all of the fingers and is the only muscle that can flex the DIP joints

Answer 5

Flexor digitorum profundus

Question 6

The shape of the bones (distal tibia/ fibula and talus) do not contribute significantly to the stability of the ankle joint.

Answer 6

False. The shape of the distal tibia, distal fibula, and talus contribute significantly to the stability of the ankle joint.

Question 7

This is a powerful flexor of the wrist and also helps to adduct the hand.

Answer 7

Flexor carpi ulnaris

Question 8

The energy required to maintain a bipedal stance is about twice that of the energy expended while lying flat.

Answer 8

False. A bipedal stance requires approximately 7% more energy than lying flat.

Question 9

This muscle aids in opposition of the little finger.

Answer 9

Opponens digiti minimi

Question 10

This muscle can raise, retract, and rotate the scapula.

Answer 10

Trapezius

Question 11

The names of muscles often indicate the action of the muscle. When the term elevator is part of the descriptive term for a muscle’s action, this means:

Answer 11

The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region

Question 12

This muscle abducts the thumb at the CMC joint.

Answer 12

Abductor pollicis brevis

Question 13

This is a powerful flexor of the wrist and also helps to abduct the hand.

Answer 13

Flexor carpi radialis

Question 14

This muscle flexes the distal phalanx of the thumb.

Answer 14

Question 15

This muscle is a prime mover of arm extension. It plays an important role in bringing the arm downward in a power stroke, as in rowing.

Answer 15

Latissimus dorsi

Question 16

The IP joint of the fingers lack strong collateral ligaments, the joint stability being afforded solely by their joint shapes.

Answer 16

False

Question 17

These muscles are apart of the rotator cuff:

Answer 17

This muscle stabilizes the elbow during rapid flexion and extension.

Answer 18

Brachioradialis

Question 19

Which ligament holds the rib into the demifacet on the vertebral body

Answer 19

Triradiate

Which vertebral region has the most mobility?

Answer 21

The cervical vertebrae

Question 22

Which muscle or muscles are part of the thenar eminence?

Answer 22

Opponens pollicis. Thenar eminence muscles include: abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, and opponens pollicis.

Question 23

The external oblique can compress the abdominal wall.

Answer 23

True

Answer 24

Deltoid

Question 25

Answer 26

True

Question 27

This muscle covers most of the chest and is a prime mover of arm flexion. It rotates the are medially and can adduct the arm against resistance.

Answer 27

Pectoralis major

Question 28

These muscles allow you to flex your fingers at your MCP joints but also extend your fingers at your IP joints.

Answer 28

Lumbricals

Question 29

Answer 31

All: Extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor digitorum

Question 32

Answer 32

Rhomboids
