Question:
Joints in which bones have intervening layers of fibrous tissue or cartil
| | | | | | | | | | |
age holding thebones together are referred to as:
| | | | | | | |
cartilaginous joi |
nts. synovial joi | |
nts. fibrous join | |
ts. Correct extra
| |
-articular joints. |
Explanation:
Fibrous joints, such as the sutures of the skull, have intervening laye
| | | | | | | | | | |
,rs of fibrous tissueor cartilage holding the bones together. The bone
| | | | | | | | | | |
s are almost in direct contact and do not allow movement. Cartilagin
| | | | | | | | | | |
ous joints, such as those between vertebrae and the symphysis pubis
| | | | | | | | | |
, are slightly movable. In these joints, fibrocartilaginous discs separ
| | | | | | | | |
atethe bony surfaces. Joints in which bones do not touch each other,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and the joint articulations are freely moveable (within the limits sur
| | | | | | | | | | |
rounding ligaments) are called synovial joints. Extra-
| | | | | |
articular refers to the structures of selected regions of the joint and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
types of movement. | |
Question:

Question:
When examining the knee, the presence of a palpable fluid wave with
| | | | | | | | | | | |
the returning fluidwave into the suprapatellar pouch is noted. This po

sitive sign for effusion of the knee is known as the:
| | | | | | | | | |
balloon sign. Correct | ||
bulge sign. b | |

Explanation:
A positive balloon sign for effusion in the knee is the presence of a pa
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
lpable fluid wave with a returning fluid wave into suprapatellar pouc
| | | | | | | | | |
h. When examining the knee, a fluid wave on the medial side betwee
| | | | | | | | | | | |
n the patella and the femur is noted. This positive sign for effusion is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
known as the bulge sign. Balloting of the patella is tested by compres
| | | | | | | | | | | |
singthe suprapatellar pouch and pushing the patella sharply against t
| | | | | | | | | |
he femur. If fluid returns to the suprapatellar pouch, then an effusio
| | | | | | | | | | |
n of the knee is diagnosed.

| | | | |
medial meniscus. |
medial collateral ligament (MCL). Correct
| | | ||
lateral collateral ligament (LCL).
| | |
Explanation:
The Abduction (or Valgus) Stress Test is a maneuver that evaluates t
| | | | | | | | | | |
he function of themedial collateral ligament. To perform this test, p
| | | | | | | | | | |
lace the knee in thirty degrees of flexion. While stabilizing the knee,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
abduct the ankle. If the knee joint abducts greater than the uninjure
| | | | | | | | | | |
d knee, the test is positive. This is suggestive of a medical collateral l
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
igament tear. |

Explanation:
The dorsiflexors in the foot include the anterior tibial muscles and the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
toe extensors. |
Question:
The axioscapular group of muscles include which one of the following
| | | | | | | | | |
?
Supraspinat
us Trapezius|
| Correct Sub |
scapularis P |
ectoralis maj |

Explanation:
The axioscapular group attaches the trunk to the scapula and includ
| | | | | | | | | |
es the trapezius, rhomboids, serratus anterior, and levator scapulae
| | | | | | | |
. The scapulohumeral group of muscles extends from the scapula to
| | | | | | | | | | |
the humerus and includes the muscles insertingdirectly on the hum
| | | | | | | | | |
erus. This group includes the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres min
| | | | | | | |
or, and subscapularis. The axiohumeral muscle group attaches the t
| | | | | | | | |
runk to the humerus and includes the pectoralis major and minor, an
