chapter 8 joints

QuestionAnswer
What are the Functional Classification of Joints 1.SYNARTHROSES:immovable joints 2. APHIARTHROSES: slightly movable joints 3. DIARTHROSES: freely movable joints

What are the Synovial Joint friction reducing structures? Bursae and Tendon Sheaths
What are Bursae? Bursae are flattened fibrous sacs lined, with synovial membrane and containing a thin film of synovial fluid
What are Tendon Sheaths? A tendon sheath is an elongated Bursae that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction. i.e. looks like a hot dog in a bun
What are the two layers of the articular capsule? the fibrous capsule and the synovial membrane make up th ewall of the articular capsule
How do Bursae and Tendon Sheaths improve joint function? Bursae and tendon sheaths help to reduce friction during joint movement
Generally speaking, what factor is most important in stabalilzing synovial joints? The muscle tendongs that cross the joint are typically the most important factor in stabalizing synovial joints
What is the importance of weeping lubrication weeping lubrication helps keep the joint cartilages nourished and "lubricates" the joint surfaces.
What are the Stabalizing factors at Synovial Joints? The stability of a joint depends chiefly on three factors: the shapes of the articular surfaces: the number and positioning of ligaments: and muscle tone
The most common lever systems in the body are those that have the applied force between the fulcrum and the resistance. These are called ______ levers. third-class
A muscle that is inserted on the mandible is probably involved in: chewing
Damage to which of the following muscles would interfere with quiet breathing? External intercostals
Damage to which of the following muscles would interfere with quiet breathing? External intercostals
During abdominal surgery, the surgeon makes a cut through the muscle directly to the right of the linea alba. The muscle that is being cut is the: rectus abdominis.
Each of the following terms is used to describe the shape of a muscle, except pollicis. Pollicis does not describe the shape of a muscle. Pollicis comes from the root pullex, which means thumb.
Muscles with fibers that run straight or parallel to the long axis of the body are called: rectus. From the Latin phrase "(musculus) rectus", or "a straight (muscle)".
The major abductor muscle of the upper arm is the Correct Answer: deltoid. The deltoid is a large, thick, triangular muscle forming a rounded mass over the shoulder and upper humerus that abducts the arm.
The attachment site of the muscle tendon to the more-movable bone is called the: insertion. Insertion of a muscle is the point of attachment that is more movable.
Which of the following statements about second-class levers is correct? Second-class levers have great strength but are slow and have little range of motion
Which of the following muscles of the face is NOT innervated by the facial nerve? Your Answer: Mentalis Correct Answer: Masseter The mentalis is innervated by the facial nerve.
Which of the following muscles divides the neck into two triangles? The sternocleidomastoid
Which of the following muscles lifts the rib cage during inspiration? External intercostals
The linea alba is found in the: rectus abdominis.
All of the following are known as rotator cuff muscles, except the deltoid
The _______________ assists the triceps brachii in forearm extension. anconeus
Which of the following adducts the fingers and wrist? Flexor carpi ulnaris
The prime mover for flexion of the thigh is the __________ muscle. iliopsoas
The obturator nerve supplies all of the following muscles, except the: sartorius
Which of the following muscles is a common site for injections in infants who have poorly formed buttocks? Vastus lateralis
The ________________ is the prime mover of dorisiflexion of the foot tibialis anterior.
Which of the following is an infrahyoid muscle? Mylohyoid muscle Geniohyoid muscle Stylohyoid muscle Digastric muscle Omohyoid muscle Omohyoid muscle
All joints of the limbs are classified as _________ joints. synovial
Which of the following is a condyloid joint? Your Answer: Elbow joint Correct Answer: Knuckle joint The knuckle joints are typical condyloid joints. The shoulder and hip are ball-and-socket joints. The elbow is a hinge joint.
Which of the following is not a synovial joint? Correct Answer: Suture joint See page 259. Structurally, synovial joints are similar; however, they can be further classified based on the movements they allow. The six major categories of synovial joints are: plane, hinge, pivot, c
The oblique popliteal ligament: stabilizes the posterior aspect of the knee joint.
Chewing would involve the _________ joint. temporomandibular
The presence of uric acid crystals in the joints is a hallmark of gout.
A ligamentous connection, such as that between the bones of the lower leg, is called a: syndesmosis.
A synovial joint is an example of a(n): diarthrosis. and all synovial joints are freely movable diarthroses.
An immovable joint is: a synarthrosis.
Bursae may be located in all but which of the following areas? Around blood vessels
The ligaments that limit the anterior-posterior movement of the femur and maintain the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles are the ______ ligaments. cruciate ligaments
The epiphyseal growth plate is an example of a(n): synchondrosis. The growth plate is composed of hyaline cartilage.
Why are there no blood vessels inside the joint cavity of synovial joints? The movement of a joint could potentially damage blood vessels by pinching them between the bones.
Which of the following is not a synovial joint? Costosternal joint Joints between the ribs and sternum are connected by cartilage and are thus cartilaginous joints.
Which of the following joints have a joint space? The knee
What is the ion released from the terminal cisternae that combines with troponin and removes the blocking action of tropomyosin, resulting in the formation of cross bridges? Ca2+ mbines with troponin, changes shape, and removes the blocking action of tropomyosin, allowing cross bridges to form.
Which of the following best describes the composition of the structure known as a triad in a skeletal muscle fiber? Terminal cisterna, transverse tubule, and terminal cistern
In the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the myofilaments slide over each other, resulting in the overlapping of actin and _________. myosin
The dense layer of collagen fibers that surround an entire skeletal muscle is the: epimysium. Endomysium surrounds each muscle fiber. Perimysium surrounds each fascicle.
The functional unit of a skeletal muscle fiber is the: sarcomere.
The space between the neuron and the muscle is the synaptic cleft.
The term that means a continued mild or partial contraction of an entire muscle is muscle tone.
The type of muscle contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension, but the muscle neither shortens nor lengthens, is called: isometric.
Which of the following statements about smooth muscle is true? Fibers are small and spindle shaped. Correct Answer: Fibers are small and spindle shaped.
The sequence of electrical changes that occurs along the sarcolemma when a muscle fiber is stimulated is known as the: action potential.
What of the following allows recoil of the muscle fiber when contraction ends? Elastic filaments
Which one of the following binds calcium ions in a smooth muscle, causing contraction? Correct Answer: Calmodulin Calmodulin causes smooth muscle contractions.

The alternating contraction and relaxation of opposing layers of smooth muscle is referred to as: peristalsis.
The final "go" signal for skeletal muscle contraction is: an increase in intracellular calcium ion levels.
Thin myofilaments are composed chiefly of: actin.
When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction, the most immediate result is: the release of acetylcholine.
The variation of stimulation needed in skeletal muscle contraction in order to have controlled movement is called a: graded muscle response.
The most efficient means of producing ATP is: aerobic respiration.
