,1. Which of the following are TRUE regarding synostoses? (mark all that apply):
A. They allow no movement between them
B. They are joined by dense connective tissue.

movement. They are not joined by dense connective tissue; this describes syndesmoses.

2. Which of the following are TRUE regarding syndesmoses? (mark all that apply):
A. They allow limited movement between them
B. They allow no movement between them
C. They allow a small degree movement between them
D. They are separated by a fibrous disc
E. They are joined by dense connective tissue


Correct Answer: C. They allow a small degree movement between them, D. They are
separated by a fibrous disc
Verified Explanation: Syndesmoses are joints that allow a small degree of movement
and are typically separated by a fibrous disc, such as between the tibia and fibula.

3. Which of the following are TRUE regarding synovial joints? (mark all that
apply):

, A. Ball and socket joints are characterized by limited range of motion
B. Condyloid joints allow gliding of irregular joint surfaces
C. They are freely moving
D. The synovium lines articulating surfaces of the joint
E. The synovium surrounds the joint margins


Correct Answer: B. Condyloid joints allow gliding of irregular joint surfaces, C. They are
freely moving, E. The synovium surrounds the joint margins
Verified Explanation: Synovial joints are freely movable; the synovium surrounds joint
margins but does not line the articulating surfaces directly.


4. (Multiple Choice) Each of the following are true of gout EXCEPT:
A. Crystals are more likely to accumulate proximal to the trunk of the body
B. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid


Correct Answer: B. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
Verified Explanation: Gout is characterized by the precipitation of uric acid crystals in
joints due to the poor solubility of uric acid in synovial fluid, especially at lower
temperatures (distal joints). Crystals are actually more likely to accumulate in distal
joints, such as those of the toes.

5. Which of the following would a patient likely exhibit on an initial physical exam
if you suspect they have OA? (Mark all that apply):
A. A typical gait pattern
B. A capsular pattern
