systems to create movement.
Tendons - CORRECT ANSWER- Connect muscle to bone, produce force, limited blood
flow, slow to repair.
Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWER- More aerobic, slower to
reach maximum contraction; resistant to fatigue.
Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWER- more anaerobic; produce
more speed and strength; faster to fatigue
,Ligaments - CORRECT ANSWER- Connect bone to bone, limited blood flow, slow to
repair
Produces synovial fluid, has joint activity and connective tissue.
Gliding Joint - CORRECT ANSWER- No axis of rotation, moves by sliding side to side
or back and forth ( carpals of the hand )
Condyloid Joint - CORRECT ANSWER- Moves predominantly in one play of motion.
(knee)
Transverse Plane - CORRECT ANSWER- Divides the body into top and bottom halves;
rotational movement.
Hinge Joint - CORRECT ANSWER- Uniaxial, moves predominantly in one plane of
motion. (Sagittal) (elbow)
,Saddle Joint - CORRECT ANSWER- One bone fits like a saddle on another bone,
moves predominantly in tow planes ( sagittal, frontal ) (Thumb)
Pivot Joint - CORRECT ANSWER- Only one axis, moves predominantly in one plane
of motion (transverse) Example: Radioulnar
Ball and socket joint - CORRECT ANSWER- Most mobile of joints; moves in all three
planes of motion (shoulder)
Optimal dynamic posture at the five kinetic chain checkpoint - CORRECT ANSWER-
Feet- hip to shoulder width apart; pointed straight ahead;
Knees- soft and extended; in line with 2nd and 3rd toes

Distal - CORRECT ANSWER- Farthest from the center of the body
Medial - CORRECT ANSWER- Toward the midline of the body
Lateral - CORRECT ANSWER- Further from midline of the body
Pronation - CORRECT ANSWER- Tri-planar movement (eversion, dorsiflexion, and
abduction of feet)
Sagittal - CORRECT ANSWER- Divides body into left and right halves; forward-
backward movement
Flexion - CORRECT ANSWER- bending of joints; decreases relative angle
Extension - CORRECT ANSWER- Straightening of joints; increases relative angle.
Plantar flexion - CORRECT ANSWER- extension at ankle (pointing toes)
Dorsiflexion - CORRECT ANSWER- Flexion at ankle (backward bending at ankle)
Frontal Plane - CORRECT ANSWER- Divides the body into front and back halves; side
to side movement.
Abduction - CORRECT ANSWER- movement away from midline
