Question 1
Which term describes the sole of the foot?
Correct Answer:
Plantar/Volar
Explanation:
The surface that contacts the ground is the plantar surface, also called the volar surface. This is the bottom or sole of the foot. Dorsal describes the back or top of the foot, while medial and lateral describe positions toward or away from the midline of the body. Since the question asks for the term for the sole of the foot, plantar (or volar) is the correct term.
Question 2
Which rotary movement is away from the midline of the body?
Correct Answer:
External Rotation
Explanation:
Rotations around a joint are described by where the limb moves relative to the body's midline. If the limb turns so its moving part points away from the midline, that is external rotation. The movement described as away from the midline fits external rotation best. For example, rotating the thigh outward at the hip or turning the arm so the forearm rotates outward away from the body demonstrates external rotation. In contrast, internal rotation is toward the midline, circumduction is a circular path combining multiple movements, and supination is forearm rotation turning the palm upward, none of which specifically define moving away from the midline.
Question 3
Which term describes the distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the external force?
Correct Answer:
External Moment Arm
Explanation:
The distance in question is the moment arm—the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force. Because the force is described as external, the precise term is the external moment arm. This distance is what, when multiplied by the force, gives the torque produced about the axis. While lever arm and moment arm are often used interchangeably in a general sense, specifying “external” makes clear we’re talking about an external force relative to the body, distinguishing it from an internal (muscle) moment arm. Torque arm isn’t a standard term in this context.
Question 4
Which term describes the palm side of the hand?
Correct Answer:
Palmar/Volar
Explanation:
This question is about surface terminology for the hand. The palm side is called the palmar surface, also referred to as the volar surface. Dorsal describes the back of the hand, while anterior and posterior are general front/back terms for the body as a whole. In the standard anatomical position, the palm faces forward, so that surface is the anterior aspect, but the specific term for the palm itself is palmar (or volar).
Question 5
Rate of change of velocity is called what?
Correct Answer:
Acceleration
Explanation:
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes with time. Since velocity includes speed and direction, any change in either—speeding up, slowing down, or turning—constitutes acceleration. Positive acceleration means speeding up in the same direction as the motion; negative acceleration (deceleration) means slowing down or changing direction opposite to the motion. If velocity doesn’t change, acceleration is zero. Mass and displacement aren’t about how velocity changes: mass is a property of matter, and displacement is the straight‑line change in position. So acceleration is the correct term.
