BIOD 331 MODULE 10 EXAM VERSION 1
1. Each of the following are true of gout except:
A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
B. Hyperuricemia can lead to crystal deposition in joints
,C. Gout commonly affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint
D. Acute attacks are characterized by inflammation and pain
Correct Answer: A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
Verified Explanation:
Uric acid is only sparingly soluble in synovial fluid, especially at lower
temperatures, facilitating the precipitation of monosodium urate crystals
in peripheral joints such as the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
Hyperuricemia predisposes individuals to gout because exceeding uric
acid solubility results in crystal formation and subsequent inflammatory
response. Thus, option A is incorrect and does not accurately describe
gout's pathophysiology.

2. 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. Capsular pattern
B. Crepitus with movement
C. Erythema
D. Systemic symptoms
Correct Answers: A. Capsular pattern, B. Crepitus with movement
Verified Explanation:
, Osteoarthritis typically presents with a capsular pattern (joint stiffness,
especially after inactivity) and crepitus (grating sensation) with
movement due to articular cartilage degeneration. Systemic symptoms
and pronounced erythema are more characteristic of inflammatory
arthritides, such as rheumatoid arthritis, rather than OA.

3. 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
C. They are temporary structures
D. They involve bony fusion
Correct Answers: A. They allow no movement between them; B. They
are joined by dense connective tissue (Note: Option D could also be
correct if provided)
Verified Explanation:
Synostoses are joints where the bones have fused together, resulting in an
immobile joint. They are characterized by the presence of dense
connective tissue that ossifies over time. This structural arrangement is
designed to eliminate movement, as seen in the epiphyseal plates of long
bones after growth ceases.
