b.	each subsequent point on one surface contacts a new point on the other surface	
c.	one point of contact on each surface remains in constant contact with a fixed location on the other surface	
d.	one joint surfaces moves perpendicular to the plane of the adjoining joint surface

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

____	8.	The convex-concave principle states that if a convex surface moves on a concave surface, the roll and glide occur in the same direction.

____	9.	Kinematics is associated with motion of a body or segment without regard to the forces that produce motion.

____	10.	Arthrokinematics is concerned with gross bony motions.

____	11.	During rotary motion, the farther the distance from the axis of motion, the greater the velocity of that point.

____	12.	Adduction is associated with movements of a segment further away from midline of the body.

____	13.	Goniometry is useful in quantifying translatory motion between adjacent bony segments.

____	14.	Closed kinematic chain motions occur when the distal segment is fixed and the proximal segments move.
