Articular cartilage has a great healing response.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Articular cartilage does not have a great healing response. Unlike other tissues in the body, articular cartilage has a limited ability to repair itself. It lacks blood vessels and nerves, which makes it difficult for the body to send healing cells and nutrients to the damaged area. As a result, injuries to articular cartilage often lead to pain, limited mobility, and can progress into more severe conditions such as osteoarthritis. Therefore, the statement that articular cartilage has a great healing response is false.Rate this question:

Poor flexibility, poor warm-up exercise, insufficient strength or endurance & poor coordination are contributing factors to a strain.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Poor flexibility, poor warm-up exercise, insufficient strength or endurance, and poor coordination are all factors that can contribute to a strain. When the muscles and tendons are not properly prepared or conditioned, they are more susceptible to injury. Poor flexibility can lead to increased stress on the muscles and tendons, making them more likely to strain. Similarly, a lack of strength or endurance can cause the muscles to fatigue more easily, increasing the risk of strain. Additionally, poor coordination can result in improper movement patterns, which can put extra strain on certain muscles and lead to injury. Therefore, all of these factors can contribute to a strain, making the statement true.Rate this question:

A sprain is an injury of
- A.
Bones
- B.
Ligaments
- C.
Tendons
- D.
Muscles
Correct Answer
B. LigamentsExplanation
A sprain is an injury that occurs to the ligaments, which are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and provide stability to joints. When a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, the ligaments can stretch or tear, resulting in a sprain. This can happen during activities such as sports or accidents that cause sudden twisting or bending of a joint. Sprains commonly occur in the ankles, wrists, and knees. It is important to rest, ice, compress, and elevate the injured area to reduce pain and swelling, and seek medical attention if the sprain is severe or does not improve.Rate this question:
