2. What are the functions of the Psoas muscle?

Explanation

The Psoas muscle is responsible for flexion of the thigh at the coxal joint and flexion at the trunk at the coxal joint. It does not perform functions such as extension, rotation, abduction, or adduction.

Submit
3. What is the function of the iliacus muscle?

Explanation

The iliacus muscle is responsible for flexion of the thigh at the coxal joint and flexion at the trunk at the coxal joint.

Submit
4. DeltoidO: Spine of the scapula, Acromion process, ClavicleI: Deltoid TuberosityA: Abduction, Flexion, Extension, Medial & Lateral Rotation, Stabilize, Horizontal Adduction & Abduction

Explanation

The question refers to the anatomy and actions associated with the Deltoid muscle, which is located in the shoulder region. The correct answer is Deltoid, as it is responsible for various movements such as abduction, flexion, extension, medial & lateral rotation, stabilize, horizontal adduction & abduction.

Submit
5. What are the attachments and actions of the Trapezius muscle?

Explanation

The Trapezius muscle attaches to Ligamentum Nuchae, External Occipital Protuberance, Nucal line, and the Spinous process C7-T12, with the Insertion points being the Spine of Scapula, Acromion process, and Clavicle. Its actions include extension, lateral flexion, rotation to the opposite side, adduction, elevation, depression, and upward rotation of the scapula.

Submit
6. What are the origins and insertions of Rhomboid Major & Minor and their actions?

Explanation

The Rhomboid Major originates from the spinous processes of T2-T5 and inserts into the medial border of the scapula, while the Rhomboid Minor originates from the spinous processes of C7-T1 and inserts into the upper medial border of the scapula. Their actions include adduction, elevation, and downward rotation of the scapula.

Submit
7. Levator Scapula attaches to which anatomical structure?

Explanation

The Levator Scapula muscle attaches to the Traverse Process C1-C4 and is responsible for various movements including elevation, downward rotation, lateral flexion, rotation, and extension of the scapula.

Submit
8. Which muscles make up the Rotator Cuff?

Explanation

The Rotator Cuff is composed of the SITS muscles: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis, which play a crucial role in stabilizing the shoulder joint.

Submit
9. What is the origin, insertion, and action of the supraspinatus muscle?

Explanation

The correct answer provides the specific details of the supraspinatus muscle, including its origin (O) at the supraspinous fossa, insertion (I) at the greater tubercle, and action (A) of abduction and stabilization. The incorrect answers provide details of other muscles and their origins, insertions, and actions to emphasize the distinction and test knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy.

Submit
10. What is the function of the infraspinatus muscle?

Explanation

The infraspinatus muscle is responsible for stabilizing the shoulder joint, facilitating lateral rotation, and aiding in adduction movements.

Submit
11. Which muscle has its origin on the lateral border of the scapula?

Explanation

The Teres Minor muscle originates from the lateral border of the scapula, while the other three options originate from different areas of the scapula.

Submit
12. What is the function of the Subscapularis muscle?

Explanation

The Subscapularis muscle is responsible for stabilizing and medially rotating the shoulder, not for shoulder abduction, lateral rotation, or elbow extension.

Submit
13. What is the term for muscle contraction without joint movement?

Explanation

Isometric contractions occur when the muscle generates tension without changing length or causing joint movement. In concentric contractions, the muscle shortens to move a load, while in eccentric contractions, the muscle lengthens while generating force. Isotonic contractions involve constant tension with variable muscle length.

Submit
14. What type of muscle contraction occurs with joint movement?

Explanation

Isotonic muscle contraction involves joint movement, whereas isometric contraction involves no joint movement. Isokinetic contraction refers to a constant speed contraction, and Auxotonic contraction involves varying tension levels in the muscle.

Submit
15. As the origin and insertion get closer together, this type of muscle contraction occurs:

Explanation

Concentric muscle contraction occurs when the muscle shortens as it contracts. Eccentric contraction occurs when the muscle lengthens as it contracts. Isometric contraction occurs when the muscle contracts but does not change length. Isokinetic contraction occurs at a constant speed against a type of resistance.

Submit
16. As the Origin and Insertion get farther apart, what type of muscle contraction is occurring?

Explanation

In an eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens as it contracts. This is in contrast to concentric contractions, where the muscle shortens as it contracts, and isometric contractions, where the muscle length remains constant during the contraction.

Submit
17. MASSETER: Zygomatic ArchI: Angle of mandible, Ramus of mandible.A: Elevate the mandible at the tempromandibular joint.What joint does it cross?TemporomandibularWhat is possible at the joint? Depression, Elevation, Protraction, Retraction.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Temporomandibular' because the joint between the jaw and the skull is known as the temporomandibular joint, where movements like depression, elevation, protraction, and retraction are possible.

Submit
18. What joint does the sternocleidomastoid muscle cross?

Explanation

The sternocleidomastoid muscle crosses the cervical joint and allows for rotation, flexion, lateral flexion, and extension of the head at the cervical joint.

Submit
19. TEMPORALISO: Temporal Fossa and FasciaI: Coronoid process and anterior edge of ramus of the mandible. What joint does it cross?

Explanation

The correct joint crossed by TEMPORALISO is the Temporomandibular joint, as it involves the mandible and temporal bone.

Submit
20. What joint does the OCCIPITOFRONTALISO muscle cross?

Explanation

The OCCIPITOFRONTALISO muscle does not cross any joint, it is involved in raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead.

Submit
21. What joint does the SCALENESO muscle cross?

Explanation

The SCALENESO muscle crosses the Cervical joint. It is responsible for various movements such as rotation, flexion, lateral flexion, and extension.

Submit
22. What joint does the SPINALIS- Erector Spinae Group cross?

Explanation

The SPINALIS- Erector Spinae Group crosses the Cervical joint, allowing for various movements such as Flexion, Extension, Lateral Flexion, and Rotation.

Submit
23. What joint does the LONGISSIMUS- Erector Spinae Group cross?

Explanation

The LONGISSIMUS- Erector Spinae Group crosses the Cervical joint allowing for movements such as flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation.

Submit
24. ILIOCOSTALIS-Erector Spinae Group crosses which joint?

Explanation

ILIOCOSTALIS-Erector Spinae Group crosses the Cervical joint, allowing for Flexion, Extension, Lateral Flexion, and Rotation.

Submit
25. Quadratus Lumborum crosses which joint?

Explanation

Quadratus Lumborum muscle crosses the Vertebral Column joint to perform lateral flexion and extension of the trunk at the vertebral column on the same side.

Submit
