front 2 All joints permit some degree of movement, even if very slight. | back 2 False |
front 3 Hinge joints permit movement in only two planes. | back 3 False |
front 4 Synovial fluid is a viscous material that is derived by filtration from blood. | back 4 True |
front 5 The articular surfaces of synovial joints play a minimal role in joint stability. | back 5 True |
front 6 The major role of ligaments at synovial joints is to help direct movement and restrict undesirable movement. | back 6 True |
front 7 The only movement allowed between the first two cervical vertebrae is flexion. | back 7 False |
front 8 Movement at the hip joint does not have as wide a range of motion as at the shoulder joint. | back 8 True |
front 9 A person who has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle has an injury to the ligaments that attach to that joint. | back 9 True |
front 10 The knee joint allows for extension and flexion only. | back 10 False |
front 11 A movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior is supination. | back 11 True |
front 12 The wrist joint can exhibit adduction and eversion movements. | back 12 False |
front 13 Cruciate ligaments are important ligaments that stabilize all ball-and-socket joints. | back 13 False |
front 14 Moving the arm in a full circle is an example of circumduction. | back 14 True |
front 15 Flexion of the ankle so that the superior aspect of the foot approaches the shin is called dorsiflexion. | back 15 True |
front 16 The gripping of the trochlea by the trochlear notch constitutes the "hinge" for the elbow joint. | back 16 True |
front 17 The ligamentum teres represents a very important stabilizing ligament for the hip joint. | back 17 False |
front 18 The structural classification of joints is based on the composition of the binding material and the presence or absence of a joint cavity. | back 18 True |
front 19 Chondromalacia patellae is hardening of the articular cartilage on the posterior patella surface. | back 19 False |
front 20 Synovial fluid contains phagocytic cells that protect the cavity from invasion by microbes or other debris. | back 20 True |
front 21 A person who has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis would be suffering loos of the synovial fluids. | back 21 False |
front 22 A ball-and-socket joint is a multiaxial joint. | back 22 True |
front 23 Bending of the tip of the finger exhibits flexion. | back 23 True |
