Pharynx
Correct Answer
B. LarynxExplanation
The larynx is commonly known as the voice box and is responsible for voice production. It contains various structures such as the vocal cords, which vibrate to produce sound, and the epiglottis, which prevents food and liquid from entering the airway during swallowing. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is responsible for air passage to and from the lungs. The hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone located in the neck that supports the tongue and other structures, but it does not directly play a role in voice production. The esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquid from the throat to the stomach. The pharynx is the throat, which serves as a passage for both food and air.Rate this question:

When the diaphragm contracts, it ____________.
- A.
Moves superiorly
- B.
Moves inferiorly
- C.
Increases thoracic pressure
- D.
Decreases thoracic volume
- E.
B & d
Correct Answer
B. Moves inferiorlyExplanation
When the diaphragm contracts, it moves inferiorly. This is because the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the chest cavity. When it contracts, it flattens out, causing it to move downward towards the abdominal cavity. This movement creates more space in the thoracic cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air. Therefore, the correct answer is "moves inferiorly."Rate this question:

If your client is unable to rotate her head to the right, which of the following muscles could be short and tight?
- A.
Right SCM
- B.
Left splenius capitis
- C.
Right upper traps
- D.
Left levator scapula
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the aboveExplanation
If the client is unable to rotate her head to the right, it suggests that multiple muscles on both sides of her neck could be short and tight. The right SCM (sternocleidomastoid) muscle is responsible for rotating the head to the opposite side, so if it is short and tight, it can restrict the range of motion in that direction. The left splenius capitis muscle, right upper traps (trapezius), and left levator scapula muscles also contribute to head rotation and could be short and tight, further limiting the client's ability to rotate her head to the right. Therefore, all of the mentioned muscles could be involved in this restriction.Rate this question:

- D.
A & b
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Lumbar paraspinal musclesExplanation
During slow, controlled forward flexion of the trunk, the muscles that are contracting are the lumbar paraspinal muscles. These muscles are located on either side of the spine in the lower back and are responsible for extending and stabilizing the spine. They work to control the movement of the trunk during flexion, helping to maintain balance and support the weight of the upper body. The rectus abdominis and external obliques are not directly involved in this movement and do not contract during slow, controlled forward flexion of the trunk.Rate this question:

- A.
Intercostals (all three)
- B.
Diaphragm
- C.
Levator costarum
- D.
Pectoralis minor
- E.
Rectus abdominis
Correct Answer
B. DiapHragmExplanation
The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. It is a dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs, separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and forcing air out of the lungs. Its contraction and relaxation play a crucial role in the process of breathing.Rate this question:

- D.
Hip hike
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the aboveExplanation
The action(s) of QL include ipsilateral lateral flexion, fixation of the 12th rib, lumbar extension, and hip hike. This means that the quadratus lumborum muscle is responsible for all of these movements. Ipsilateral lateral flexion refers to bending the trunk sideways towards the same side. Fixation of the 12th rib means stabilizing the rib to provide support for the trunk. Lumbar extension involves arching the lower back. Hip hike refers to lifting one side of the pelvis to elevate the hip. Therefore, all of these actions are performed by the quadratus lumborum muscle.Rate this question:
