Compression

8.

Look at the diagram showing arrows pushing toward each other from the top and bottom of a square. Which type of tissue loading is described as: 'External loads applied toward one another on opposite surfaces in opposite directions. Causes widening and shortening of a structure.'?

a)

Compression

b)

Tension

c)

Shear

9.

Tension

c)

Shear

10.

Look at the diagram showing arrows in parallel but not directly opposite directions, causing a slanted split in a square. Which type of tissue loading is described as: 'Occurs when equal but not directly opposite loads are applied to opposing surfaces, forcing those surfaces to move in parallel directions relative to one another.'?

a)

Compression

b)

Tension

c)

Shear

11.

What is 'Bending' in tissue loading?

a)

Caused by twisting in opposite directions from the opposite ends of a structure

b)

Happens when two opposing forces act on a structure at different points, creating compression on one side and tension on the opposite side.

c)

Caused by pulling a structure apart

d)

Caused by pushing a structure together

12.

What is 'Torsion' in tissue loading?

a)

Caused by twisting in opposite directions from the opposite ends of a structure, causing shear stress over the entire cross section of that structure.

b)

Happens when two opposing forces act on a structure at different points

c)

Caused by pulling a structure apart

d)

Caused by pushing a structure together

13.

What is the function of cartilage in the musculoskeletal system?

a)

Supports joints, increases flexibility, reduces friction, and absorbs shock.

b)

Produces red blood cells and stores calcium.

c)

Connects muscles to bones and enables movement.

d)

Transmits nerve impulses to muscles.

14.

What is the main function of bone in the musculoskeletal system?

a)

Supports body, provides framework, and allows movement.

b)

Produces hormones for digestion.

c)

Regulates body temperature.

Stores genetic information.

15.

What is the function of ligaments in the musculoskeletal system?

a)

Connects bone to bone, provides additional stability, maintain bone alignment.

b)

Connects muscle to bone, allows voluntary movement, stores minerals.

c)

Produces red blood cells, stores fat, supports the body.

d)

Cushions joints, absorbs shock, allows smooth movement.

16.
