About This Quiz

The 'Foot Health Practitioner - QP2' quiz assesses knowledge on muscle tissue characteristics, control of smooth muscle, and anatomical specifics of leg muscles. It evaluates understanding of muscle anatomy and physiology, crucial for health professionals.

2.

Plain or smooth muscle is involuntary – we have no conscious control over its actions, these being controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Plain or smooth muscle is indeed involuntary, meaning that we do not have conscious control over its actions. Instead, its actions are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, the statement "Plain or smooth muscle is involuntary – we have no conscious control over its actions, these being controlled by the autonomic nervous system" is true.

3.

The posterior compartment of the leg is divided into deep and superficial regions.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The posterior compartment of the leg is indeed divided into deep and superficial regions. This division is important as it helps in understanding the anatomy and function of the structures present in this compartment. The deep region contains important muscles such as the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris, which are responsible for plantar flexion of the foot. The superficial region contains the smaller muscles responsible for toe flexion. Understanding this division is crucial for diagnosing and treating injuries or conditions affecting the posterior compartment of the leg.

4.

Tendons attach each muscle to its origin.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is incorrect because tendons attach muscles to their insertions, not their origins. The origin of a muscle is the point where it attaches to a stationary bone, while the insertion is the point where it attaches to a movable bone. Tendons play a crucial role in connecting muscles to bones and transmitting the force generated by the muscle to produce movement.

HAV stands for:
- Hallus adductor valgus
- Hallus abducto valgus
- Hallus anterior valgus
Correct Answer

A. Hallus abducto valgus

Explanation

The correct answer is "Hallus abducto valgus". This term refers to a condition where the big toe deviates away from the midline of the foot and points towards the other toes. The term "abducto" indicates the movement of the toe away from the midline, and "valgus" refers to the outward angulation of the toe. This condition is commonly known as a bunion and can cause pain and discomfort in the affected foot.

6.

Joint changes demonstrate Wolff’s Law and Davis’s Law as the joint and associated soft tissues are modified by the existing imposed stresses.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement suggests that joint changes demonstrate Wolff's Law and Davis's Law. However, Wolff's Law states that bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed, while Davis's Law applies to soft tissues and states that they will adapt to the demands placed on them. Therefore, joint changes alone cannot demonstrate both laws as they apply to different structures. Thus, the answer is false.
