EXAM QUESTIONS AND THEIR
VERIFIED ANSWERS
What is Kyphosis?
Is when the back forms a hunched shape
What is scoliosis?
Lateral curvature of the spine.
What is Nuetral spine alignment?
The spine forms an S shape when viewed from the side.
What what are bone cells comprised of?
Osteoblasts which form bone by secreting collagen.
Osteoclasts, which dissolve bone mineral.
Leverage
the length of the bone determines how much leverage you
have
Weight bearing
Bones at the pelvis and legs are strong and thick so they
can take weight of skeleton.
Protection
Vital organs are protected from damage due to bone.
What are the function of a long bone?
Source of red blood cell production, Enable large
movement and acts a levers
Types of Bone
long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid
, What is the function of a short bone?
Increase stability, weight bearing and absorbs shock.
What is the function of the sesamoid bones?
Easy joint movement and resist friction.
Functions of flat bones
Protect vital organs and enables muscle attachment and
produce blood cells.
Categories of joints in the body
Fibrous, Cartilaginous, Synovial
What are the types of synovial joints?
Ball and socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle, and
condyloid.
What what are the components of the synovial joint?
Muscle, bone, bursa, articular cartillage, synovial fluid,
synovial membrane, joint capsule, synovial membrane,
ligament and tendon.
What is the function of articular cartilage?
reduces friction and absorbes shock.
What is the function of Ligaments?
Connect bone to bone
What is the function of synovial membrane?
Secretes synovial fluid
What is the function of bursa?
Found in most major synovial joint which reduces friction.
Flexion
Flexion means reducing the angle of the bones forming
the Joint.
What is Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion?
Movement that occurs only at the ankle. Plantarflextion is
positioning toes down.
What is Abduction?
