What type of movement takes place from Position 1 to Position 2 in the diagram below?

• Eversion

• Pronation

• Supination

• Rotation

What is the main function of the structure of connective tissues and joints as described in the syllabus understanding?

• To enable movement

• To store energy

• To produce hormones

• To digest food

What role do connective tissue and joints play in the human body?

• They are responsible for producing red blood cells.

• They are key factors in enabling movement.

• They regulate body temperature.

• They digest food in the stomach.

Why are irregular bones important for the human body?

• They provide protection for internal organs.

• They provide support and stability due to their specialized shapes and functions.

• They store calcium and phosphorus.

• They assist in the production of white blood cells.

What is the primary function of flat bones?

• To allow for movement

• To protect and provide a large area for muscle attachment

• To articulate with more than one other bone

• To store minerals

Short bones are typically characterized by which of the following features?

• Long cylindrical shaft

• Small and cube shaped

• Curved surface

• Specialized shapes based on location

Which bone type is described as having specialized shapes and functions unique to their location?

• Long bones

• Short bones

• Flat bones

• Irregular bones

Which of the following factors can affect the range of motion (ROM) in joints?

• Shape of bones

• Color of skin

• Hair length

• Eye color

How might physical fitness influence a person's range of motion (ROM)?

• It can increase flexibility and joint stability, leading to a greater ROM.

• It decreases the flexibility of ligaments.

• It has no effect on ROM.

• It only affects bone density, not ROM.

What is the function of cancellous (spongy) bone?

• Storing yellow bone marrow

• Red bone marrow storage and development

• Providing a smooth surface for joints

• Producing synovial fluid
