70. Flexibilty and tensile strength are due to

Explanation

Collagen fibers provide flexibility and tensile strength to various tissues in the body. These fibers are strong and resistant to stretching, making them essential for maintaining the structural integrity of tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin. The arrangement and composition of collagen fibers allow them to withstand tension and provide support to the surrounding tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is collagen fibers.

71. Term for the iliopsoas during hip extension

Explanation

During hip extension, the iliopsoas muscle is responsible for flexing the hip joint. It works in opposition to the muscles that are responsible for extending the hip joint, such as the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings. These extensor muscles are considered the antagonists to the iliopsoas during hip extension because they oppose its action.

72. Knee

Explanation

The term "knee" refers to a joint in the human body that allows for movement between the thigh bone and the shin bone. The two possible types of movement mentioned in the options are hinge and gliding. A hinge joint allows for movement in only one plane, like the opening and closing of a door, while a gliding joint allows for movement in multiple directions, like the bones in the wrist sliding past each other. Therefore, it is possible for the knee joint to exhibit both hinge and gliding movements, making both options correct.
