| Study of motion of human movement | Which of the following is the correct definition of Kinesiology? |
| Front and back halves | The frontal plane divides the body into? |
| Vertical | Movements in the transverse plane occur around which axis? |
| Anteroposterior | Abduction takes place around which axis? |
| Transverse | Shaking the head "No" occurs in which plane? |
| Circumduction | Which of the following movements occur at the shoulder joint but not at the knee? |
| Dorsiflexion | What term is used to describe the motion of bringing the dorsum of the foot closer to the anterior of the leg? |
| Arthrodial, Condyloidal, Enarthrodial, Ginglymus, Seller, Trochoidal | List the six types of diarthrodial/synovial joints. |
| Excitability, Contractility, Extensibility, Elasticity | List the four properties of muscle tissue. |
| True | Of all the movements possible in the joints of the body, flexion/extension is the most commonly occurring. |
| False | Eccentric muscle "actions" result from isometric muscle contractions. |
| True | Each muscle in the human body may be innervated by a single nerve or multiple nerves. |
| True | There are two major types of fiber arrangements which are parallel and pinnate. |
| True | The term "intrinsic" usually pertains to muscles within or belonging solely to the body part upon which they act. |
| True | The term "action" refers to a specific movement of a joint that occurs as a result from a concentric muscle contraction. |
| True | Isotonic contractions are described as either concentric or eccentric on basis of whether shortening or lengthening of the muscles occurs. |
| False | Joint movement may occur without any muscle contraction. |
| False | Antagonist muscles are known as primary or prime movers or muscles most involve in a joint action. |
| True | When antagonist muscles contract concentrically they perform the opposite joint motion of the agonist muscle. |
| False | During the process of bone remodeling osteoblasts reabsorb existing bone and osteoblasts form new bone. |
| False | The medullary canal is located at the ends of long bones. |
| False | One of the functions of articular cartilage is to separate the diaphysis and epiphysis. |
| True | Most outer bone is composed of cortical bone with cancellous bone underneath. |
| True | Longitudinal bone growth continues as long as epiphyseal plates are open. |
| True | Bone size and shape are influenced by both the direction and magnitude of applied forces. |
| True | Bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses that are placed upon them. |
| True | Diarthrodial joints are also known as synovial joints. |
