NURS 190 (WEEK 7) MUSCULOSKELETAL &
NEUROLOGIC SYSTEM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Musculoskeletal System Correct Answer Composed of
Bones
Skeletal Muscles
Joints
Musculoskeletal System (Function) Correct Answer Provides structure and movement for the body
Consists of bones, skeletal muscles, and joints
Allows the body to stand erect and move
Supports and protects organs
Produces red blood cells
Stores fat and minerals
Generates heat
Skeleton (Consists of..) Correct Answer Consists of 206 bones (adult)
Provides support for the soft tissue and organs of the body
Serves as the frame work of the body
Bones (Classification) Correct Answer Long (humerus)
Short (carpals)
Flat (parietal bones)
Irregular (Verebra)
Skeletal Muscles Correct Answer Composed of fibers Attached to bone directly or indirectly (tendon)
Most are voluntary
Some react by reflex Muscle strength/size vary among individuals due to exercise, nutrition, genetics.
Skeletal Muscles (Major Functions) Correct Answer Movement
Posture
Body heat
What are joints Correct Answer Where two bones meet
aka *Articulation*
Types of Joints Correct Answer *Fiberous*
-Skull sutures
*Cartilaginous*
-Vertebrae
*Synovial*
-Fluid filled cavity
Types of Joints (*Synovial*) Correct Answer Plane joints (intercarpal & intertarsal)
Hinge (Elbow & knee)
Pivot (atlas & axis of the neck)
Condyloid (radio carpal/wrist)
Saddle joints (carp metacarpal joints-thumbs)
Ball & Socket (Hips & Shoulders)
Assessment and Joints Correct Answer During assessment of the system, the nurse assesses the joint, ROM, and its surrounding structures of muscles, ligaments, tendons and bursae.
Tendons Correct Answer fibrous bands that attach muscle to bone at the ends.
Cartilage Correct Answer dense, connective tissue at the ends of bones that helps with pressure and tension.
Ligaments Correct Answer connect bones to each other at the joint level. Support joint movement.
Bursae Correct Answer sacs filled with fluid Cushion between surfaces to reduce tension. They also develop in response to friction (bursitis -inflammation that needs rest)
Major Joints Correct Answer Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
-Elderly may have pain & possible dislocation
Shoulder Joint
Elbow Joint
Wrist and Hand Joint
Hip Joint
Knee Joint
Ankle and Foot Joint
Spine
Temporomandibular Joint Correct Answer Articulation between temporal bone and mandible
Shoulder Joint Correct Answer Ball and socket joint
Articulates head of humerus and glenoid capsule of scapula
Elbow Joint Correct Answer Hinge joint
Articulation of humerus, radius, and ulna
Joint should be free of pain, swelling, or redness
Wrist and Hand Joint Correct Answer Hand
-Metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
*plane & saddle joints*
Wrist
-Two rows of carpal bones
>Inspect for redness, swelling, tenderness, deformity, temperature
*candyloid joint*
Ganglion Cyst Correct Answer Unknown etiology
