      Lumbricals

    • C.

      Vastus Lateralis

    • D.

      Tibialis Anterior

    • E.

      Both A and D

    Correct Answer
    E. Both A and D
    Explanation
    Foot inversion is innervated by the tibialis posterior and the tibialis anterior

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    KNEE FLEXION is innervated by:

    • A.

      The hamstrings: Biceps femoris;Semimembranosus;Semitendoinosus

    • B.

      The quadriceps: Rectus femoris; vastus intermedius; vastus medialis; vastus lateralis

    • E.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The hamstrings: Biceps femoris;Semimembranosus;Semitendoinosus
    Explanation
    The quadriceps are involved in KNEE EXTENSION, think of where the muscles are located. The hamstrings are on the back and the quadriceps are on the back of the leg. Also the peroneus longus and brevis are involved in foot EVERSION.

    LIST all 7 joints that are in the body and list their degree of freedom. Give an example of the joint as well.

    Correct Answer
    1. The pivot joint: Spinning around a single axis of rotation, it has one degree of freedom an example is proximal radial ulnar joint and the atlantoaxial C1 and C2. 2. The hinge joint: it has one plane of movement which is flexion and extension. An example of the hinge joint would be the elbow joint or the interphalangeal joints. 3. The ellipsoid joint: it has two plane of freedom which is flexion/extension and abduction/adduction, it restricts spin. An example of this would be wrist. 4. Ball and socket joint: This is the most versatile joint and has three planes of movement. Flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and external/internal rotation. An example would be the shoulder or the hip. 5. Condyloid joint: Has three planes of movement. Flexion/extension, abduction/adduction or flexion/extension and rotation. An example of this would metacarpalphalangeal (knuckles), the knee and the atlanto-occipital joint. Joint meets at a concave fashion. 6. Plane joint: It has two degrees of freedom. Movement combines some sliding and some rotation of one partner with respect to another. An example of this joint is: wrist bones, rotation and translation, ligaments in the hand restrict the movement of the hand. 7. Saddle joint: There are two degrees of movement. Flexion/extension and adduction/abduction. Both bones are built with convex and concave. An example would be: Carpalmetacarpal of the thumb.
