True
27
What are sesamoid bones?
cartilaginous massess embedded in tendons
28
Function of Sesamoid bones?
modify pressure and to diminish friction
29
What is the Talus bone?
is the ankle bone, part of tarsal bones forms the lower part of the ankle joint,
30
What is the Calcaneus?
The heel bone
31
What is the navieular?
resembles a boat, found on the medial side of the foot and proximally to the talus distally to the cuneiform bones
32
What is the Cuboid
one of the seven tarsal bones. Surfaces are rough for attachments of ligaments
33
What are Cuneiforms?
3 of the seven tarsal bones located between the navicular bone
34
What are the metatarsals?
Located between the tarsal bones and phlanges, not individually named numbered from medial side
35
What are Phalanx?
Plural form Phalanges toes make up the toes.
36
What kind of joint is in the foot?
Synovial joint
37
What kind of movement does the foot joint provide?
Hinged or gliding action
38
What is a synovial joint made up of: a) bones, muscles and cartilage b) bones, cartilage, liagaments, synovial fluid c) bones, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, synovial fluid d) bones, synovial fluids, ligaments, cartilage
C
39
What is the function of a bone?
Site of attachment for skeletal muscles.
40
What is the function of a muscle?
apply to force to produce a given movement,
41
What is the function of a ligament?
holds bones together and stabalizes the articulation
42
What is the function of cartilage?
provides a smooth surface to reduce friction
43
What is synovial fluid?
viscous fluid that lubricates the joints,
44
What is synovial membrane?
secretes synovial fluid into the synovial space. Membrane begins where the cartilage ends
45
What is the synovial space?
the space within the capsule that allows movement.
46
What are the four major joints: a) tibitalar, interphalangeal, talonavicular, subtalar b) Tibiotalar, subtalar and midtarsal, metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal c) Calcaneocuboid, tibiotalar, talonavicular, interphalangeal d) Tibiotalar, Metatarsocuniform, calcaneocuboid, subtalar
B
47
What movements does the Tibitalar joint have?
Dorsiflexion and planter flextion
48
T or F | Dosiflexion takes place at the ankle and allows the upper surface of the foot to move towards the leg
True
49
T or F | Plantar flexion allows the foot to point downward
True
50
What movement do the subtalar joint and midtarsal joint allow?
inversion and eversion
51
T or F | Inversion is turning the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body
False- inversion is turning the sole of the foot inward to the midline of the body
52
T or F | Eversion is turning the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body.
True
53
What movements does the Metatarsophalangeal joint allow?
Flexion extension adduction abduction
54
T or F | Flexion increases the angle between the bones
False decrease the angles between bones.
55
T or F | Extension increases the angle between bones
true
56
T or F | Adduction moves the foot towards the midline.
True
57
T or F | Abduction moves the foot away from the midline
True
58
T or F | The interphalangeal joint allows for flexion and extension
True
59
What does the Talonavicular joint do?
the talus articulates with the navicular
60
What does the calcaneocuboid joint do?
calcaneous articulates wiht the cuboid
61
what does the Metatarsocuniform joint do?
metatarsals connect wiht the cuneiforms
62
List the function of the arches:
supports body weight provides leverage when walking provides flexibility to the foot aides in shock absorption
63
List the 4 main arches:
Medial longitudinal Lateral longitudinal Transverse Metatarsal
64
List the components of the Medical longitudinal arche
``` Calcaneous Talus Navicular Cuniforms first three metatarsals ```
65
List the components of the Lateral longitudinal arche
Calcaneous cuboid fourth and fifth metatarsals
66
List the components of the transverse arche
navicular cuneiforms cuboid metatarsal bones
67
List the components of the metatarsal arche
the 5 metatarsal heads.
68
How many ligaments are in the foot
over 100
69
What are ligaments?
tough bands of white fibrous connective tissue
70
What do ligaments do?
``` hold tendons in place stabilizes joints bind structures together facilitate or limit motion give strength and support to the bony structure ```
71
What do the medial and lateral ligaments provide?
stability and enable the foot to move up and down
72
What are the 3 main groups of ligaments? a) Spring ligament, long ligament, short ligament b) Medial ligament, Lateral ligament, Spring ligament c) Spring ligament, Long plantar ligament, Short plantar ligament d) Short ligament, lateral ligament, long ligament
C
73
The purpose of a spring ligament?
Support the talus
74
What is a spring ligament?
Strong band between the navicular and the calcaneous
75
What happens if the spring ligament is dysfunctional?
flat footed (pes planus)
76
What is the long plantar ligament?
Connects plantar surface of cuboid with plantar surface of calcaneous and goes on to fasten to the bases of the metatarsals
77
How does the long plantar ligament function?
Maintains the integrity of the arches
78
Where is the long plantar ligament located?
between the calcaneous and the metatarsals
79
Where is the short plantar ligament located?
deep in the foot
80
What does the short plantar ligament do?
Secrures the calcaneous and the cuboid
81
How does the short plantar ligament function?
limits movement between the calcaneous and cuboid to a gliding motion
