12 hour fast
lying down
none of the above
all of the above
being awake

2 multiple choice 2 points
which structural class of joints are characterized by bone ends/parts covered by articular cartilage and enclosed within an articular capsule? these joints are freely moveable with movement depending on the design of the joint, types include hinge, pivot and ball and socket.
cartilaginous
fibrous
synovial
syndesmosis

Explanation:

Analyze requirements for measuring basal metabolic rate (BMR)

To measure BMR, the subject must be in a post-absorptive state (typically a 12-hour fast), completely at rest in a reclined position (lying down), in a thermoneutral environment, and fully awake (since metabolic rate drops during sleep). Thus, all listed conditions are required.

Identify structural class of joints with articular capsules

Joints characterized by bone ends covered by articular cartilage, enclosed within an articular capsule, and containing a joint cavity are synovial joints. Examples include hinge, pivot, and ball-and-socket joints.

Answer:

Question 1

• 12 hour fast
• lying down
• none of the above
• all of the above (Correct answer)
• being awake

Question 2

• cartilaginous
• fibrous
• synovial (Correct answer)
• syndesmosis
