Chapter 9_10 Test Review Flashcards
attachment point for quadriceps tendon and patella ligament
protects the anterior surface of the knee joint
increases leverage of the quadriceps extensor system
patella
femur
patella
tibia
fibula
bones of the knee joint
lateral
medial
c shaped cartilage
protect articulation surfaces of the tibia/femur
menisci
holds anterior horns of menisci in place
transverse ligament of the knee
strengthen knee joint
provide stability of knee joint
ligament function in the knee
medially fuses with the medial menicus
lateral connects the femur and the fibula
collateral ligaments
thick strong band
continuation of the quadriceps tendon
from patella to tibial tuberosity
patellar ligament
internal ligament
prevents hyperextension and anterior displacement of tibia
connects the medial intercondylar surface to the posterior medial surface of the lateral femoral condyle
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
ACL
internal ligament
prevents hyperflexion and posterior displacement of the tibia
connects posterior aspect of intercondylar eminence to anteromedial surface of the medial femoral condyle
Posterior Cruciate ligament
PCL
fibrous sheath stretching between the ulna/radius
tibia/fibula
stabilizes connection between ulna/radius_tibia/fibula
interosseous ligament/membrane
provide flexibility when weight bearing
lateral longitudinal
medial longitudinal
transverse
arches of the foot
flatter arch
less flex
lateral longitudinal arch
distal row of metatarsils
major weight bearing arch
transverse
more elastic
greater curvature
medial longitudinal arch
approx 80 layers thick (thickest fascia surface in body)
begins inferior aspect of calcaneus spreads anteriorly into five slips that create the fibrous flexor sheaths of the toes
important in maintaining the longitudinal arch of the foot
plantar fascia
provides medial support
stongest ligament in the ankle joint
deltoid ligament
