Refer to Figure 1.  Rolling an ankle usually just injures soft tissue but if the leg also gets hit by another player or piece of equipment, a patient may also have a bone fracture, especially on the lateral side of this joint. Identify the boney landmark nearest this injury including the name and label from the figure.  NAME of boney landmark: [a] NUMBER form figure: [b]

Refer to Figure 6.  An important tendon is marked by #7.  What is the anatomically correct name for this tendon? [a] Identify the bone and the muscle that are attached by this tendon: BONE name: [b] MUSCLE name: [c] Images A, B, and C are just rotated views of the same leg. Is this leg LEFT or RIGHT? [d]

Refer to Figure 3.  In addition to the hinge joints mentioned in the previous question, there is a SYNARTHROTIC joint present in one of these images.  What is the NAME for this synarthrotic joint? [a] What is the STRUCTURAL classification (TWO terms) for this joint? [b] Is this joint present in Image A or Image B? [c] Both images are for the same limb – is this the LEFT or RIGHT? [d]

Refer to Figure 4.  From the following list of numbered bones on the figure, select any that would have MULTIPLE ossification centers during development. 

Refer to Figure 1.  The vastus lateralis muscle may be bruised and potentially torn at its origin if a baseball player lands hard on their hip when they slide. Identify the boney landmark for this injury including the name and label from the figure.  NAME of boney landmark: [a] NUMBER form figure: [b]

Refer to Figure 4.  NAME each of the numbered bones below. BE SPECIFIC! If there is more than one, use the correct directional or descriptive to correctly identify the indicated bone.  Bone #2: [a] Bone #9: [b] Bone #15: [c]

Refer to Figure 1.  Consider the bones labeled A through E in this figure. Include the NAME and Letter for each bone that best answers the following questions.  Which bone would be most proximal?: [a] Which distal bone would be most lateral?: [b]

Refer to Figure 5.  The hamstrings are all able to flex the knee, but only one of these muscles is able to laterally rotate the thigh at the hip. Identify the hamstring muscle that is able to laterally rotate the thigh, including the number for this muscle from the figure, and briefly explain what is different about this muscle compared to the other hamstrings that gives it this action.  NAME of muscle: [a] LABEL for muscle: [b] EXPLANATION for unique action: [c] 

Refer to Figure 7.   This figure is showing dance instructions for how a person should move from Step 1 to Step 4. For each step, consider the joints that needed to be moved and what muscles would have been moving them. Specifically, describe how the RIGHT HIP for this person moves when going from anatomic position to Step 1, then to Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4 in order. For each step, name ONE muscle that causes this movement of the hip (ie. the primary agonist).
