Question: Place the following bones in order of the transfer of body weight from the midsection to the
ground when standing up right (some bones may not be named)
Correct Answer: Calcaneus, Femur, Fibula, Patella, Pelvic Girdle, Talus, Tibia: Pelvic girdle, femur, tibia,
talus, calcaneus
Question: The _______(1)__________ the 'ball' and the ______(2)_________ forms the 'socket' of the hip
joint.
Correct Answer: 1. Femoral Head 2. Acetabulum
Question: The three boney segments that form the pelvic girdle are
Correct Answer: : Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis
Question: The lateral and medial malleoli are landmarks on which bones?
Correct Answer: Lateral malleoli is on fibula - Medial malleoli is on tibia
, Question: The longest muscle in the body is the ______(1)__________; the longest bone in the body is the
_______(2)_________.
Correct Answer: 1. Sartorius 2. Femur
Question: C1 of the cervical spine is also known as _____(1)_____ and C2 of the cervical spine is also
known as _____(2)_______.
Correct Answer: 1. Atlas 2. Axis
Question: Where are the menisci located (be specific)? How many are found within each knee? What
functions do the menisci perform
Correct Answer: These menisci are attached to the tibia and deepen the tibial plateaus, thereby enhancing
stability. The medial semilunar cartilage, or, more technically, the medial meniscus, is located on the medial
tibial plateau to form a receptacle for the medial femoral condyle. The lateral semilunar cartilage (lateral
meniscus) sits on the lateral tibial plateau to receive the lateral femoral condyle.
Question: The iliotibial (IT) band consists of the combined tendons from the _____(1)_____ and the
_____(2)_____.
Correct Answer: 1. tensor fasciae latae 2. gluteus maximus
Question: True or False
Correct Answer: the IT band contributes to joint movement.: True
Question: The patella glides between what structures during knee flexion and extension?
Correct Answer: Lateral and Medial Femoral Condyles
Question: Supination of the foot is a combination of ______(1)________, ______(2)______ and
_______(3)_________.
Correct Answer: 1. inversion (subtalor joint) 2. adduction 3. plantar flexion
Question: Pronation of the foot is a combination of ______(1)________, ______(2)______ and
_______(3)_________.
Correct Answer: 1. eversion 2. abduction 3. plantar extension
Question: There are two small sesamoid bones that lie underneath the __________________________.
Correct Answer: 1. 1st metatarsal head (the big toe)
Question: Where is the medial longitudinal arch?
Correct Answer: between the heel of the foot and the medial three metatarsophalangeal joints distally - up
and down the foot
Question: Where is the medial transverse arch?
Correct Answer: side to side of the foot
Question: There is more movement in the ______(1)________ and ______(2)______ regions of the spinal
column than in the ______(3)_____ _ region.
Correct Answer: 1. cervical 2. lumbar 3. thoracic (ribs)
Question: Where could you find a nucleus pulposus (be specific)?
Correct Answer: Central portion of the intervertebral disk
