A joint that consists of two opposed flat surfaces of approximately equal size is a _______ Gliding Hinge Ellipsoid Pivot Saddle The muscle that is located in the hip and it extends hip and it abducts and rotates thigh Intercostals Platysma Epicranius Gluteus maximus Deltoid The muscle located in the head and responsible for kissing Semipinalis capitis Orbicularis oris Pterygoid Extensor carpi Hamstrings group A pivot joint Is a monaxial joint Is a modified ball and socket joint Allows gliding movement Is between the atlas and occipital bone Is a biaxial joint Contracting the right sternocleidomastoid muscle would Raise the head Lower the head Rotate the head toward the right Close the eyes Rotate the head toward the left The strongest muscle shape that can contract with the greatest force is the Pennate Circular Parallel Convergent Fusiform The muscle shape that can stretch a great distance and shorten more than other muscle types Pennate

Explanation / Answer

55. Gliding joints have two opposed flat surfaces of equal sizes. A slight amount of gliding can occur between the bones.

56. Gluteus maximus is one of the strongest muscle in the human body. This muscle is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh.

57. The muscle Orbicularis oris is involved in closing and protruding lips. Used in whistling and forming many letters during the speech. It is also called as kissing muscle.

58. Pivot joints are uniaxial joints and allow rotation.

59. Contracting the right sternocleidomastoid muscle would rotate the head toward the left.

60. Pennate muscles produce the strongest contractions.

61. Fusiform muscles stretch great distance and shorten more than other muscle.
