Kinesiology: Joint Classification and Muscle Functions, Exams of Health sciences

Arizona Western CollegeHealth sciences

A comprehensive examination of various joints, their classifications, and the corresponding muscles responsible for their movements. It covers topics such as the latissimus dorsi, ischial tuberosity, thumb, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and more. It also delves into joint classifications like diarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and synovial joints, and discusses muscle actions like concentric, eccentric, and isometric contractions.

Kinesiology (MBLEX) Joints

Classification Exam And Answers.

Latissimus Dorsi - \Adducts, extends and internally rotates the arm at the shoulder Hypotonic abdominals - \Which condition would directly contribute to anterior pelvic tilt? Ischial tuberosity - \Which of the following structures support the body while in the sitting position? Thumb - \where is the first carpometacarpal joint is located? Saddle - \What type of joint is the first carpometacarpal joint? Amphiarthrosis - \Which of the following joint classifications would be described as slightly moveable? Diarthrosis - \Which of the following describes the joint classification of the glenohumeral joint? The glenohumeral joint - \Also known as the shoulder joint, is classified as a diarthrosis joint. This joint classification describes joints that are freely moveable like the knee, hip, ankle and wrist. Pronation - \What is the action of the pronator teres muscle located along the flexors of the forearm which rotates the palm to face downward? Ulnar - \What nerve is affected when you hit your funny bone? Medial epicondyle - \The ulnar nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body and is most susceptible to injury. It passes between the _____________ the humerus and the olecranon process of the ulna. Gluteus maximus -

\Which muscle is responsible for establishing an upright or erect position when standing still? Quadriceps - \Which muscle group is responsible for leg extension? Tibial tuberosity - \The quadriceps insert onto the _____________ via the patellar tendon and, as a group, act as a powerful extensor of the leg. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: vastus lateralus, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and the rectus femoris. Hip Abduction - \What is produced by four muscles, the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fascia latae and the sartorius? Hip Adduction - \The adductors longus, brevis and magnus as well as the gracilis and pectinous produce what action? Concentric - \The up phase of a wide arm push-up creates which type of contraction of the tricep muscle? Eccentric - \The up phase of a wide arm push-up creates which type of contraction of the bicep muscle? Isometric - \Holding weight in a fixed position with no movement is an example of _______________ contraction. Scalenes - _____________, along with the sternocleidomastoid, are accessory muscles to inhalation, in that they assist with breathing. They are also known as the lateral vertebral muscles since they laterally flex the head to the same side as well as elevate the first and second ribs during inhalation. 25 Degrees - \What is the maximum degree of dorsiflexion assessed in the majority of humans? Depression - \An inferior movement of the scapula is known as scapular _______________. An example would be to return the scapula to a normal position after a shoulder shrug. Piriformis -

Eversion - \Placing weight on the inner edge of the foot is an example of _______________. uniaxial - \Hinge and pivot joints are examples of _______________ joints. Multiaxial joint - \The hip joint is a ball and socket type joint that allows for multiple movements, this is referred to as what? Biaxial joint - \Condyloid and saddle joints allow for movement in two different planes along two axes of the body. This is known as? Pivotal hinge - \The knee is an example of a _______________ joint. The knee - \What is the largest joint in the human body. Pivot - \The proximal articulation of the radius is an example of a _______________ joint. Supination - \The back and forth, uniaxial rotation of the proximal radial articulation is classified as a pivot joint. This is the action of pronation and ____________ of the forearm. Temporalmandibular - \Which of the following is the only joint in the body with a biarticular quality? SCM - \A concentric contraction is one where the muscle shortens under force. Flexion of the neck is the concentric contraction and natural action of what muscle? Lateral rotation and flexion - \What unilateral action occurs during a concentric contraction of the iliopsoas muscle? Restrains lateral rotation - \Eccentric contractions elongate muscle under force. Look for answers that resist or restrain movement when identifying eccentric contractions. In this case, what is the eccentric contraction of the subscapularis? Stabilizes the head of the humerus - \What is the isometric contraction of the infraspinatus?

Teres minor - \Antagonist of the subscapularis Gluteals - \The hamstrings and piriformis are synergists to what muscles? Proprioceptive - \Which of the following senses would be disrupted when a client's equilibrium is affected by an inner ear infection? AIIS - \Where is the origin of the rectus femoris? Pterygoid - \Both the medial and lateral _____________ muscle assists the masseter and temporalis muscles with mandible elevation. Tensor fascia latae - \Which muscle is a synergist to medial rotation of the hip? Gemellus inferior - \Which muscle is a synergist to lateral rotation of the hip? Its one of the seven deep lateral rotators of the hip, is a synergist of lateral rotation of the hip. Semispinalis capitis - \Which muscle is a synergist to extension of the vertebral column?

Pectineus - \Which muscle is an agonist to flexion of the hip? seated at a 45 degree angle - \A person in a fowler's position would be ________________________. This position puts the patient/client in a seated position to help reduce stress and tension on the abdominals and to help with breathing. Often the knees are slightly bent to add comfort.

The contraction will remain constant over an extended period of time or as long as the artificial stimulant is active Agonist - \During a muscular contraction, the prime mover is also considered the ____________. Occipitofrontalis - \Which of the following muscles inserts into the galea aponeurotica? Multipennate - \Which of the following describe the shape of the muscle fibers in the deltoid muscle? Lateral rotation of the hip - \Which action is the obturator internus responsible for? Cartilaginous - \Which type of joint is the pubis symphysis?
