Structural disorders of the spine....which is lateral curvature of the vertebral column?
- Kyphosis
- Lordosis
- Scoliosis
Correct Answer

A. Scoliosis

Explanation

Scoliosis is the correct answer because it refers to a structural disorder of the spine characterized by a lateral curvature of the vertebral column. In scoliosis, the spine curves sideways, causing the shoulders, hips, or waist to appear uneven. This condition can occur in various degrees of severity and can be caused by factors such as genetics, muscle imbalances, or neuromuscular conditions. Treatment options for scoliosis include observation, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery.

FRACTURES:What type of fracture is this?ends get jammed together
- Closed
- Open
- Greenstick
- Impacted
- Comminuted
- Spiral
- Transverse
- Oblique
Correct Answer

A. Impacted

Explanation

An impacted fracture occurs when the broken ends of a bone are jammed together. This type of fracture typically occurs when a bone is forced into another bone, causing compression and jamming of the fractured ends. The jamming of the ends can make it difficult for the bone to heal properly and may require realignment or surgical intervention.

Correct Answer

A. SUTURES

Explanation

Sutures are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull. They are formed by dense connective tissue that holds the bones together, allowing for minimal movement. Sutures provide stability and protection for the brain and other structures within the skull. They also allow for growth and development of the skull during infancy and childhood.

Correct Answer

A. EXTENSION

Explanation

Extension refers to the straightening or increasing the angle between two parts. It is the opposite of flexion, which refers to bending or decreasing the angle between two parts. In the context of the skeletal system, extension typically refers to the movement of a joint that increases the angle between the bones involved, such as straightening the arm at the elbow joint.

Structural disorders of the spine....which one is curvature of the lumbar spine?
- Kyphosis
- Lordosis
- Scoliosis
Correct Answer

A. Lordosis

Explanation

Lordosis is the correct answer because it refers to the abnormal inward curvature of the lumbar spine, causing the lower back to appear more pronounced or arched. Kyphosis, on the other hand, is the abnormal outward curvature of the thoracic spine, leading to a rounded or hunched back. Scoliosis is the sideways curvature of the spine, which can occur in any region. Therefore, out of the given options, only lordosis specifically relates to the curvature of the lumbar spine.

Bones are classified by shape. Which shape is the below?The os coxa
- Short
- Long
- Flat
- Irregular
Correct Answer

A. Irregular

Explanation

The os coxa, also known as the hip bone, is classified as an irregular bone. Irregular bones do not fit into the other categories of bone shapes, such as long, short, or flat. They have complex shapes with varying sizes and contours, and their primary function is to provide support and protection to internal organs. The os coxa is a good example of an irregular bone due to its unique shape and structure.

A. ABDUCTION

Explanation

Abduction refers to movement away from the midline of the body. It is the opposite of adduction, which is movement towards the midline. In the context of the given options, abduction is the only term that directly relates to movement. The other options are either anatomical structures or other types of movements. Therefore, the correct answer is abduction.
