NFPT - Anatomy and Biomechanics Exam Bank Solution Manual Latest Update 2024 (Graded A+)
Anterior - Answers toward the front
Posterior - Answers toward the back
Proximal - Answers Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body
trunk
Distal - Answers farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body
trunk
Gliding - Answers Movement of non-angular joints over each other
Dorsiflexion - Answers bending of the foot or the toes upward
plantar flexion - Answers bends the foot downward at the ankle
sagittal plane - Answers -divides body into left and right
-motion: flexion and extension
-ex: squat, bicep curl
Frontal/Coronal Plane - Answers -divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
-motion: abduction, adduction, elevation, lateral flexion
-ex: Lateral raise, pull ups, side bends
transverse plane - Answers -line that divides the body into upper and lower sections
-motion: internal/external rotation, pronation/supination, protraction/retraction
-ex: rotation at waist, bench press
Number of bones in the adult human body - Answers 206
axial skeleton - Answers trunk, or center of the body
appendicular skeleton - Answers Bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to the axial
skeleton
Long bones - Answers load bearing and mobility of our body
ex: clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges
, Short bones - Answers located in parts of the skeleton that are
intended for strength and compactness. They provide for stability and support, but very limited
movement.
ex: tarsals (in feet) and carpals (in hands)
Flat bones - Answers very broad, flat plates
ex: Cranium, scapula, sternum, ribs, ilium (pelvis)
Irregular Bones - Answers odd-shaped bones that don't fit in the other categories; mainly function as a
point of attachment for various muscle as well as protection for the nervous system
ex: vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, mandible,
hyoid
sesamoid bones - Answers found where tendon passes over a joint; it is the bone that is embedded in
the tendon such as the knee, hand or foot. These bones increase tendons' mechanical advantage and
help protect tendons from flattening into the joint
ex: joint bones in hands, knee (patella), and feet
Cervical Spine - Answers -neck
-Protects nerves coming from brain to the body
Thoracic Spine - Answers -upper/mid back
-Provides for firm attachment of rib cage, protecting vital organs
-Little mobility for stability & structural support
Lumbar Spine - Answers -lower back
-Provides for mobility and structural support of the torso
Sacrum - Answers connects the spine to the lower half of the body (at the iliac bones); it is the fused
portion of the spine that forms the center of the pelvis and supports the back/posterior wall of the
pelvis
