Which of the following are functions of the skeletal system
Protection of internal organs
Blood cell production
A site of attachment for muscles
All of the above
Reciprocal inhibition is when
muscles work in pairs where both contract and shorten to produce movement
a muscle contracts and applies force against a resistance with no significant movement occurring
muscles work in pairs where both muscles relax and lengthen to produce a movement
one muscle or group of muscles contracts while its opposite relaxes
The anatomical term, medial, means
towards the back of the body
towards the midline of the body
away from the midline of the body
closer to the foot

Hinge joints permit the following movements:
flexion, extension, rotation
flexion, extension, circumduction
flexion, extension
flexion, extension, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion
What is the difference between ligaments and tendons?
Ligaments connect muscles to bone and tendons connect bone to bone
Tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone
Ligaments are made of cartilage and tendons are made of connective tissue
Tendons are made of cartilage and ligaments are made of connective tissue
When using anatomical terms, which of the following is correct?
The hamstrings are superior to the quadriceps.
The knee joint is inferior to the hip joint.
The elbow is lateral to the wrist.
The ears are medial to the chin.
Isometric contractions occur when:
a muscle contracts and decreases the angle at a joint
the muscle lengthens and shortens
muscle tension is produced, but no joint movement or action takes place.
a muscle contracts and increases the angle at a joint
The three classifications of joints are
hard, soft, squishy
hinge, ball and socket, pivot
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Fibre, carbohydrates, proteins
Synovial joints are:
immovable
slightly movable
freely movable
Anterior means:
towards the back of the body
towards the head
towards the feet
towards the front of the body
Reciprocal inhibition means:
contraction of both muscles at a joint
coordinated relaxing of muscles on one side of a joint to accommodate contraction on the other side of that joint
relaxation of both muscles at a joint
