Answer
Question
FALSE   A pair of tweezers is a good example of a second-class lever.

🗑
TRUE   Muscles are only able to pull, they never push.  
🗑
TRUE   Regardless of type, all levers follow the same basic principle: effort farther than load from fulcrum = mechanical advantage; effort nearer than load to fulcrum = mechanical disadvantage.  
🗑
TRUE   Movements of the thigh are accomplished by muscles anchored to the pelvic girdle.

TRUE   The biceps brachii inserts on the radius.  
🗑
FALSE   The chewing muscle covering the ramus of the mandible is the buccinator.

🗑
TRUE   The soleus is a synergist of the gastrocnemius during plantar flexion.  
🗑
FALSE   Muscles that help to maintain posture are often called synergists.  
🗑
TRUE   In order to propel food down to the esophagus, the pharyngeal constrictor muscles are used.  
🗑
FALSE   Plantar flexion at the ankle joint is accomplished by the tibialis anterior muscle.  
🗑
TRUE   The arrangement of a muscle's fascicles determines its range of motion and power.  
🗑
TRUE   Muscle power does not depend on the direction of the fascicles.  
🗑
TRUE   The calcaneal tendon (Achilles tendon) is the largest, strongest tendon in the body.  
🗑
TRUE   The epicranius or occipitofrontalis has two bellies, the frontal and occipital.  
🗑
TRUE   Electromyography is the recording and interpretation of graphic records of the electrical activity of contracting muscles.  
🗑
FALSE   Severing of the patellar tendon would inactivate the hamstring group.  
🗑
TRUE   The broadest muscle of the back is the latissimus dorsi.  
🗑
TRUE   Muscle spasms of the back often are due to the erector spinae contraction.  
🗑
TRUE   Muscles connecting to the hyoid bone are important for swallowing and speech.  
🗑
TRUE   The muscles of facial expression insert into skin or other muscles, not bones.

🗑
The fascicles are short and attach obliquely to a central tendon that runs the length of a muscle.   Which of the following describes fascicle arrangement in a pennate muscle?  
🗑
the total number of muscle cells available for contraction   What is the main factor that determines the power of a muscle?  
🗑
an agonist   What is a muscle that provides the major force for producing a specific movement called?  
🗑
The muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively.   When the term biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, what does it tell you about the muscle?  
🗑
There are over 600 muscles in the body.   Which of the following statements is true regarding the total number of skeletal muscles in the human body?  
🗑
The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.   The names of muscles often indicate the action of the muscle. What does the term levator mean?  
🗑
They are a group of muscles that lie superior to the hyoid bone and help form the floor of the oral cavity.   Which of the following describes the suprahyoid muscles?  
🗑
to stabilize the shoulder joint and help prevent downward location of the humerus and to assist in abduction   The supraspinatus is named for its location on the posterior aspect of the scapula above the spine. What is its action?  
🗑
extends and abducts the wrist and is short   The extensor carpi radialis brevis ________.  
🗑
circular muscles   What are the muscles that are found at openings of the body collectively called?  
🗑
the frontal belly of the epicranius   Which of the following muscles is involved in producing horizontal wrinkles in the forehead?  
🗑
genioglossus   A cute, little curly-haired child is sitting behind you in church. You turn around for a moment and she sticks her tongue out at you. Which tongue muscle did she use?  
🗑
the scalenes   Which group of muscles flexes and rotates the neck?  
🗑
