Medial/lateral axis side to side-perpindicular to the sagittal
Correct Answer
A. Medial/lateral axis side to side-perpindicular to the sagittalExplanation
The correct answer is "medial/lateral axis side to side-perpendicular to the sagittal". This is because the term "horizontal" refers to a direction that is parallel to the ground or perpendicular to the vertical axis. In the context of the human body, the medial/lateral axis runs from the midline of the body to the side, and is perpendicular to the sagittal plane which divides the body into left and right halves. Therefore, the correct answer describes the horizontal direction in relation to the body's anatomical planes.Rate this question:

-
Inversion, eversion and hyperextension
Correct Answer
A. extension,flexion, , dorsiflxsion and plantarflexsionExplanation
The correct answer is "extension, flexion, dorsiflexion, and plantarflexion." These movements are all types of motion that occur in the sagittal plane, which is a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right halves. Extension refers to straightening or increasing the angle of a joint, while flexion refers to bending or decreasing the angle of a joint. Dorsiflexion is the movement of bringing the top of the foot towards the shin, and plantarflexion is the movement of pointing the foot downward. These movements are commonly seen in the joints of the limbs, such as the elbow, knee, ankle, and wrist.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Internal (medial )and external( lateral) and vertebral rotationExplanation
The correct answer is internal (medial) and external (lateral) and vertebral rotation. In the transverse plane, these motions refer to the rotation of body parts or segments either towards the midline of the body (internal/medial rotation) or away from the midline (external/lateral rotation). Vertebral rotation specifically refers to the rotation of the vertebrae in the spine. Flexion, extension, circumduction, plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, hyperextension, and eversion are not specifically related to the vertical (sup/inf) axis in the transverse plane.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Frontal plane/AP axisExplanation
The motion of adduction and abduction refers to the movement of a body part towards or away from the midline of the body. This motion occurs in the frontal plane, which divides the body into front and back halves. The axis of this motion is the Anteroposterior (AP) axis, which runs from front to back. Therefore, the correct answer is "Frontal plane/AP axis."Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Flexsion/extension is which plane and axis?
Correct Answer
sagittal plane and lateral axisExplanation
Flexion/extension refers to the movement that occurs in the sagittal plane, which divides the body into left and right halves. The movement happens around the lateral axis, which runs horizontally from side to side. In flexion, the angle between two body parts decreases, while in extension, the angle increases. Therefore, the correct answer is that flexion/extension occurs in the sagittal plane and around the lateral axis.Rate this question:
- 14.
Internal/ external rotation is which plane/axis
-
Frontal and AP
-
Tranverse plane/vertical axis
-
Midsagittal and horizontal
-
NONE of the above
Correct Answer
A. Tranverse plane/vertical axisExplanation
The correct answer is the transverse plane/vertical axis. This is because internal/external rotation refers to the movement of a body part around its longitudinal axis, which is perpendicular to both the sagittal and frontal planes. The transverse plane divides the body into upper and lower halves, while the vertical axis runs through the body from top to bottom. Therefore, internal/external rotation occurs in the transverse plane around the vertical axis.Rate this question:

An agonist is
-
A muscle that contracts naturally
-
A muscle or group of muscles may be primarily responsible for causing movement
-
A series of movements the change direction
Correct Answer
A. A muscle or group of muscles may be primarily responsible for causing movementExplanation
An agonist is a muscle or group of muscles that are primarily responsible for causing movement. When a muscle contracts, it generates force that allows movement to occur. The agonist muscle(s) work in opposition to the antagonist muscle(s), which relaxes to allow the movement to happen. This coordinated action between agonist and antagonist muscles allows for smooth and controlled movement.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
An antagonist is

A group of muscles responsible for activity
-
A muscle that moves in many directions about an axis
-
None of above
-
A muscle that can oppose an agonist and referenced to one
Correct Answer
A. A muscle that can oppose an agonist and referenced to oneExplanation
An antagonist is a muscle that can oppose an agonist. In the context of muscle movement, an agonist is a muscle that contracts to produce a specific movement, while the antagonist relaxes to allow that movement to occur smoothly. The antagonist muscle works in opposition to the agonist, helping to control the speed and range of movement. This relationship between agonist and antagonist muscles is important for coordinated and balanced movement in the body.Rate this question:

-
None of above
Correct Answer
A. A muscle that contracts along with an agonist to assist with performing an action to stabalize body parts and allow agonist to cause movementExplanation
A synergist is a muscle that contracts along with an agonist to assist with performing an action to stabilize body parts and allow the agonist to cause movement. This means that it works together with the agonist muscle to provide support and coordination during a specific movement or action. The synergist muscle helps to stabilize the body parts involved in the movement and allows the agonist muscle to generate the necessary force for the movement to occur effectively.Rate this question:
-

Fixes a body segment to allow a firm foundation from which the oter mucsles can work.
Correct Answer
A. Fixes a body segment to allow a firm foundation from which the oter mucsles can work.Explanation
The correct answer is "fixes a body segment to allow a firm foundation from which the other muscles can work." This explanation suggests that a stabilizer helps to stabilize or fix a body segment, providing a strong base or foundation for other muscles to work effectively. This implies that the stabilizer plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and coordination during movement.Rate this question:

Eccentric contraction is one in which
-
The body uses extreme energy
-
The muscles move closer together
-
None above
-
Origin and insertion of contracting muscle move away from eachother by external force
Correct Answer
A. Origin and insertion of contracting muscle move away from eachother by external forceExplanation
Eccentric contraction refers to a type of muscle contraction where the origin and insertion points of the contracting muscle move away from each other by an external force. This is in contrast to concentric contraction, where the muscle fibers shorten and the origin and insertion points move closer together. Eccentric contractions typically occur when a muscle is lengthening while still under tension, such as when lowering a weight during a bicep curl. This type of contraction requires less energy compared to concentric contractions.Rate this question:
-
- 20.
A concentric contraction is a contraction where origin and insertions are
Correct Answer
brought closer together to the action of the muscleExplanation
A concentric contraction refers to a type of muscle contraction where the origin and insertion points of the muscle are brought closer together during the contraction. This means that the muscle is actively shortening as it contracts, resulting in movement or force generation. This type of contraction is commonly observed when lifting a weight during a bicep curl, for example, as the bicep muscle contracts and brings the forearm closer to the upper arm.Rate this question:
- 21.
Isokinetic contraction describes
-
A type of contraction responsible for atp production
-
Not really a contraction but isokinetic movement ( constant velocity) with no contractile event
-
A shortening during contration of a muscle
-
None above
Correct Answer
A. Not really a contraction but isokinetic movement ( constant velocity) with no contractile eventExplanation
Isokinetic contraction refers to a type of movement where the muscle contracts at a constant velocity without any actual contraction occurring. This means that there is no shortening or lengthening of the muscle during the movement. Instead, the muscle maintains a consistent speed throughout the motion. It is important to note that isokinetic contraction is not responsible for ATP production and it should not be confused with a contraction that involves muscle shortening.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
Isometric is
-
Involuntary movement of muscle tissue
-
A contraction in which no noticable shortening of muscle takes place
-
Extreme contraction of a muscle
-
None above
Correct Answer
A. A contraction in which no noticable shortening of muscle takes placeExplanation
Isometric refers to a type of muscle contraction where there is no visible shortening of the muscle. During isometric contractions, the length of the muscle remains constant while tension is generated within the muscle. This type of contraction is commonly seen in activities such as pushing against an immovable object or holding a static position. Isometric contractions are different from isotonic contractions, where the muscle changes length as it contracts. In isometric contractions, the muscle does not visibly shorten or lengthen, but it still generates force.Rate this question:
-
- 23.
Isotonic is
-
Not really a contraction, but body lifts a given weight and gravitational weight changes and load not constant
-
A contractional diection of movement
-
A contraction associated with side to side movement
-
None above
Correct Answer
A. Not really a contraction, but body lifts a given weight and gravitational weight changes and load not constantExplanation
The correct answer is "not really a contraction, but body lifts a given weight and gravitational weight changes and load not constant." This answer explains that isotonic is not actually a contraction, but rather a type of exercise where the body lifts a weight and the gravitational weight changes. It also mentions that the load is not constant, implying that the resistance or weight being lifted may vary throughout the exercise.Rate this question:

-
None above
Correct Answer
A. Head of humerus articulates with the scapulaExplanation
The correct answer is that the head of the humerus articulates with the scapula. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, where the rounded head of the humerus fits into the shallow socket of the scapula, known as the glenoid cavity. This allows for a wide range of movement in the shoulder, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The sternum is not directly involved in the shoulder joint articulation.Rate this question:

-
Frontal/AP
-
Transverse/vertical
-
Sagittal/horizontal
-
Horizontal vertical
Correct Answer
A. Sagittal/horizontalExplanation
The correct answer is sagittal/horizontal. In the context of shoulder joint movement, flexion, extension, and hyperextension occur in the sagittal plane, which divides the body into left and right halves. The axis of rotation for these movements is horizontal, as the shoulder joint rotates around a transverse axis that runs from side to side. Therefore, the sagittal/horizontal combination accurately describes the plane and axis involved in flexion, extension, and hyperextension of the shoulder joint.Rate this question:
