ANSWER SCHEMES

MCQ

1. A. F, its not one of the primary muscles but also support the shoulder joint
B. T
C. T
D. T
E. F, teres minor
Primary muscle mnemonics: SITS

2. A. T, presence of hyaline cartilage between articular surfaces: no direct contact between bony
surfaces
B. F, the fibrous capsule completely encloses the joint. Its anterior and posterior parts are thin
and weak, but collateral ligaments strengthen its sides

C. T, the capsule may exhibit local thickening that forms extracapsular ligaments
D. F, Healthy joints contains high amounts of high molar mass hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules in
the synovial fluid giving it the required viscosity for its function as lubricant solution, which
naturally cushion joints and other tissues. With age, the size of the hyaluronic acid molecules in
joints decreases inhibiting its ability to work as effectively in support cushioning and
lubrication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0sKstpunO4&app=desktop

3. A. F, FCU flex & adduct wrist joint


B. T
C. F, FDP flex wrist & medial 4 digits
D. T
E. F, extend & adduct wrist joint

4. A.F, synovial joint (multiaxial)


B. T
C. F, synovial joint (biaxial)
D. T
E. F, synovial joint (uniaxial)
5. A. T (uniaxial)
B. F, humero-ulnar articulation (trochlea articulates w trochlea notch of ulnar)
C. F, head of ulnar
D. F, second common bcs common fracture is medial epicondyle

6. A. T
B. F, fibrous joint
C. F, fibrous joint
D. T
E. T

OBA

1. B
(cranial suture)

2. D
(The glenohumeral joint is structurally a ball-and-socket joint and functionally is considered a
diarthrodial, multiaxial, joint. [1] The glenohumeral articulation involves the humeral head with
the glenoid cavity of the scapula, and it represents the major articulation of the shoulder girdle.)
3. D
(A suture is a type of fibrous joint (synarthrosis) bound by Sharpey's fibers that only occurs in
the skull (cranium)) @ (Sutures are non-moving joints that connect bones of the skull. These
joints have serrated edges that lock together with fibers of connective tissue.)
4. C
(The radius articulates with the ulna in a synovial pivot joint. The radial head rotates within the
annular ligament and radial notch on the ulna to produce pronation of the forearm. The radius
and ulna also articulate distally in reverse to their articulation at the elbow to produce
supination. The proximal radioulnar joint is functionally a pivot joint, allowing a rotational
movement of the radius on the ulna.)
MEQ

1. A 10 years old girl underwent a biopsy sampling at the right medial epicondyle of humerus for
as suspected bone malignancy. She suffered right humerus osteosarcoma.

a) State two joints of arm.


- hinge joint and ball and socket joint
b) Describe general components of these joints in (a).
- hinge joint: muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues, such as the joint
capsule
- ball and socket joint: a bone with a spherical head and a bone with a cup-like
socket
c) Name types of joints and their actions.
- synarthroses (immovable)
- amphiarthroses (slightly moveable)
- diarthroses (freely moveable)
- The two classification schemes correlate: synarthroses are fibrous,
amphiarthroses are cartilaginous and diarthroses are synovial

2. Elbow joint – type of its synovial joint


a) Give 5 other types of synovial joint that is different from (2) with examples for each
of them.
- plane joint: acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joint
- pivot joint: central atlantoaxial joint and proximal radioulnar joint
- bicondylar joint: knee joint
- condyloid joint: wrist joint (radiocarpal) and metacarpophalangeal joint
- saddle joint: carpometacarpal joint of the thumb
- ball and socket joint: shoulder and hip joint

3. Why does the articular hyaline cartilage in synovial joints need to obtain its nourishment from
synovial fluid?
- It contains no blood vessels and so must absorb its nutrients from the synovial
fluid. Waste products are removed by diffusion into the synovial fluid
