Chpt. 8.3 Knee & Shoulder Joints

Question 1

Coracohumeral ligament

Answer 1

Part of Shoulder Joint

• Composed of broad band of connective tissue
• Connects coracoid process of scapula to greater tubercle of humerus
• Strengthens the superior portion of joint capsule

Question 2

Glenohumeral ligament

Answer 2

Part of Shoulder Joint

• Composed of three bands of fibers that appear as thickenings in the ventral wall of the joint capsule
• Extend from the edge of glenoid cavity to the lesser tubercle and neck of humerus

Question 3

Transverse humeral ligament

Answer 3

Part of Shoulder Joint

• Composed of narrow sheet of connective tissue fibers
• Runs between the lesser and greater tubercles of humerus
• Forms a canal through which long head of the biceps brachii muscle passes

Question 4

Patellar ligament

Answer 4

Part of Knee Joint

• Composed of strong, flat band that extends from margin of patella to tibial tuberosity
• Continuation of tendon from quadriceps femoris

Question 5

Oblique popliteal ligament

Answer 5

Part of Knee Joint

-Connects lateral condyle of the femur to the margin of the head of the tibia

Question 6

Arcuate popliteal ligament

Answer 6

Part of Knee Joint

-Appears as Y-shaped system of fibers that extends from lateral condyle of femur to the head of tibia

Question 7

Tibial collateral ligament (medial collateral ligament)

Answer 7

Part of Knee Joint

-Broad, flat band of tissue that connects the medial condyle of femur to the medial condyle of the tibia

Question 8

Fibular collateral ligament (lateral collateral ligament)

Answer 8

Part of Knee Joint

-Strong, round cord located between the lateral condyle of the femur and the head of the fibula

Question 9

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Answer 9

Part of Knee Joint

• Helps prevent displacement of the articulating surfaces
• Originates from the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia and extends to the lateral condyle of the femur

Question 10

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

Answer 10

Part of Knee Joint

• Helps prevent displacement of the articulating surfaces
• Connects posterior intercondylar area of the tibia to the medial condyle of the femur

Question 11

Menisci

Answer 11

Part of Knee Joint

• Fibrocartilaginous
• Separate the articulating surfaces of the femur and tibia and help align them
• Attaches to the head of the tibia
• Medial and lateral menisci

Question 12

Suprapatellar bursa

Answer 12

Located between the anterior surface of the distal end of the femuar and the quadriceps femoris

Question 13

Prepatellar bursa

Answer 13

Large bursa between the patella and skin

Question 14

Infrapatellar bursa

Answer 14

Small bursa between proximal end of tibia and patellar ligament

Question 15

Subscapular bursa

Answer 15

In shoulder, between joint capsule and tendon of subscapularis muscle

Question 16

Subdeltoid bursa

Answer 16

In shoulder, between the joint capsule and the deep surface of the deltoid muscle
