Polestar Exam Review || 100% accurate answers.
What is "tripod WB" refering to in the spine? correct answers disc in front and facets in back
Local muscles or deep local stabilizers primary job is correct answers proprioception and
stiffness -
These are muscles that have unique control over the posturing of our head. correct answers These
deep local muscles: the Rectus Capitus Posterior, the Oblique Capitus Superior and the Oblique
Capitus Inferior.
In anticipation of movement, the Transverse Abdominis correct answers Activates sub-
consciously and sub-threshold
The primary purpose of the rectus abdominis is to: correct answers Accelerate or decelerate
flexion and extension of the spine
The deep muscles of the back (multifidi and rotatores): correct answers Create stiffness and
control around the spine based on the anticipated activity
Which of the following is true regarding fascia? correct answers Fascia is a living, dynamic,
communicating tissue in our body that links all of our cells together
Prevents collapse or shift forward of spinal vertebrae correct answers The Anterior Longitudinal
Ligament:
The ligamentum flavum is different from other ligaments as it is: correct answers Yellow, elastic,

and has insertions up through the diaphragm
into the lower thoracic spine in the anterior body
or the anterior lateral body of the vertebra. This is very important.
What connects the arm to the thoracolumbar fascia? correct answers the latissimus dorsi muscle
These pelvic floor sphincters are suspended
and held in place by this sling. correct answers This is called the pubococcygeus muscle
The intervertebral disc correct answers functions as a shock absorber
axial elongation places the vertebrae in their optimal position , minimizing destructive forces to
the disc
WB inc. compressive forces on disc
compression/decompression necessary for disc health
The annulus correct answers the outer shell- provides strength and stability to disc
