Question 1

All of the following statements are true regarding long bones EXCEPT

  1. Option A:
    The diaphysis is composed of compact bone.
  2. Option B:
    The epiphysis consists of spongy bone.
  3. Option C:
    Most bones of the axial skeleton are of this type.
  4. Option D:
    The central shaft encases the medullary canal 
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Long bones are characterized by a diaphysis (shaft) made primarily of compact bone, epiphyses (ends) that consist mainly of spongy bone, and a medullary canal enclosed within the central shaft. These features make statements A, B, and D true. However, most bones of the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum) are not long bones; they are primarily flat or irregular bones. Long bones are found mainly in the appendicular skeleton, such as the femur, tibia, humerus, and radius. Therefore, C is the false statement (EXCEPT).

Question 2

Aclient in your exercise class has been complaining of back pain with no ridiculer symptoms. This person has been treated medically and is now joining the exercise program to improve flexibility in the low back. Which exercise would be most appropriate for this person to address the stated goal?

  1. Option A:
    Hip flexor stretch.
  2. Option B:
     Knee-to-chest stretch.
  3. Option C:
    Gastrocnemius stretch.
  4. Option D:
    Lateral trunk stretch 
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

The knee-to-chest stretch is the most appropriate exercise for a client with non-radicular low back pain who wants to improve lower back flexibility. This stretch gently flexes the lumbar spine and helps reduce tightness in the muscles and soft tissues of the lower back, improving mobility while placing minimal stress on the spine. In contrast, the hip flexor stretch primarily targets the front of the hip, the gastrocnemius stretch targets the calf muscles, and the lateral trunk stretch mainly improves flexibility of the sides of the trunk rather than directly addressing lumbar flexibility. Therefore, B is the best choice.
