, What type of joint is the radiocarpal (wrist)? A. Condyloid - permitting movement in two planes (flexion and extension
A. Condyloid joint movement; radial and ulnar movement)
B. Hinge joint Hinge joint - (the elbow) permitting movement of the humerus and ulna in one
C. Ball and socket joint plane (flexion and extension)
D. Temporomandibular joint Ball and socket joint permits movement of the humerus in many axes -
Glenohumeral - shoulder - consists of the articulation between the humerus
and glenoid fossa of the scapula.
Temporomandibular joint - articulation between mandible and temporal bone
in cranium, hing action opens and closes the mouth. The gliding action permits
lateral movement, protrusion and retraction of mandible.
Additonal joints
Acromioclavicular joint - consists of the articulation between the acromion
process and the clavicle
Sternoclavicular joint - articulation between the manubruium of the sternum
and the clavicle.
The spine is composed of thoracic, lumbar and sacral Cervical
vertebrae as well as the _________? Remember your meals
7/12/5
7 Cervical
12 Thoracic
5 Lumbar
When assessing the musculoskeletal system and you D. Aortic insufficiency
note the patient has a nodding movement that is Tremor - horizontal jerking or bobbing motion
synchronized with the pulse, this could be associated Torticollis - head tilted to one side to favor a good eye or ear often associated
with? with unilateral hearing or vision loss, but it is also associated with shortening of
A. Tremor a sternocleidomastoid muscle.
B. Torticollis Facies is defined as an expression or appearance of the face and features of
C. Facies the head and neck that, when considered together, is characteristic of a clinical
D. Aortic insufficiency condition or syndrome. Develops slowly
Facial features (eyelids, eyebrows, palpebral fissures, D Both B & C Cranial nerves V & VII
nasolabial folds and mouth) are assessed for shape and
symmetry with rest movement and expression. This
assesses the integrity of what cranial nerves?
A. Cranial nerve XII
B. cranial nerve V
C. Cranial nerve VII
D. Both B & C
E. Both A & B
Which ligaments give stability both medially and B. Collateral ligaments
laterally to the knee protecting it from valgus and
vargus stress?
A. Iliofemoral ligaments
B. Collateral ligaments
C. Cruciate ligaments
D. Head of femur ligaments
