Question

1. trauma to the skeletal system and associated muscles, tendons, and joints is a(n):

a. neurologic injury.
b. orthopedic injury.
c. allopathic injury.
d. thoracic injury.

1. the skull, rib cage, and spinal column are referred to together as the:

a. appendicular skeleton.
b. basal skeleton.
c. medial skeleton.
d. axial skeleton.

1. in a(n) _________ musculoskeletal injury, the skin overlying the injured bone is perforated from the inside out.

a. closed
b. comminuted
c. osteopathic
d. open

1. _________ force causes an injury away from the site of impact because the force is transferred to other parts of the body.

a. twisting
b. indirect
c. direct
d. transverse

1. which type of injury occurs when muscles and tendons are overworked?

a. sprain
b. strain
c. dislocation
d. disruption

Explanation:

• Question 6: Orthopedic injuries specifically involve the skeletal system and associated structures like muscles, tendons, and joints. Neurologic injuries relate to the nervous system, allopathic is a medical approach rather than an injury type, and thoracic injuries pertain to the chest area.
• Question 7: The axial skeleton consists of the skull, rib cage, and spinal column. The appendicular skeleton is for limbs and girdles, basal and medial are not standard skeletal classification terms in this context.
• Question 8: In an open musculoskeletal injury, there is a break in the skin (perforated from inside out). Closed injuries have intact skin, comminuted refers to bone fragmentation, and osteopathic is a medical practice not an injury type.
• Question 9: Indirect force transfers impact to other body parts. Twisting is a type of force but not the one described here. Direct force acts at the impact site. Transverse is a direction (like bone fracture orientation) not the force type for this injury description.
• Question 10: A strain occurs when muscles and tendons are overworked. A sprain is a ligament injury. A dislocation is a joint displacement. Disruption is a very general term not specific to overworked muscle - tendon injuries.

Answer:

1. B. orthopedic injury
2. D. axial skeleton
3. D. open
4. B. Indirect
5. B. Strain
