posterior meniscofemoral ligament

25
Q

the menisci are made of _ and fcn to absorb _ and to deepen the _

A

fibrocartilage
shock
deepen the articular surface of the tibia

26
Q

knee joint: movements: the main movements? (2)

A

flexion (w/ the hamstrings being most important) and extension (quadriceps femoris most important)

27
Q

knee joint: movements: when the knee is flexed, some _ is also possible

A

rotation (hamstrings and popliteus are most important)

28
Q

knee joint: movements: if the knee is fully extended w/ the foot on the ground, the knee passively “locks” due to _ rotation of the _ on the tibia to produce a solid column (the lower limb) for weight bearing

A

medial rotation of the femoral condyles

29
Q

knee joint: movements: the menisci are capable to _ slightly on the tibial superior surface as a femoral condyle moves slightly on its corresponding tibial condyle

A

“migrate”

30
