ILS 10 Flashcards
bones of the knee joint include:
patella and tibia
which bone is not directly involved in knee joint formation
fibula
largest sesamoid bone
patella
located within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris
patella
articulates with the femur but not with the tibia
tendon of the quadriceps femoris
the patella is the ___ located ___ and attaches to the ___ via ___ and functions to ___ as it passes across the ___ and functions to ___ thereby ___
largest sesamoid bone;
within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris;
tibial tuberosity;
patellar ligament;
obviate wear and attrition on the quadriceps tendon;
trochlear groove;
increase the angle of pull of the quadriceps femoris;
magnifying its power
the tendon of the quadriceps femoris articulates with the
femur
attaches to the tibial tuberosity by a continuation of the quadriceps tendon
patella
continuation of the quadriceps tendon is called
the patellar ligament
the patellar ligament is a continuation of the
quadriceps tendon
functions to obviate wear and attrition on the quadriceps tendon
patella
passes across the trochlear groove
patella
increases the angle of pull of the quadriceps femoris, thereby magnifying its power
patella
the weight-bearing medial bone of the leg
tibia
has the tibial tuberosity into which the patellar ligament inserts
tibia
the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia articulate with the
condyles of the femur
projection with a malleolar groove for the tendons of the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscles
the medial malleolus of the tibia
has a groove for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle
tibia
groove posterolateral to the malleolus groove
groove for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle
provides attachment for the deltoid ligament of ankle joint
tibia
the patellar ligament inserts into the
tibial tuberosity
articulate with the condyles of the femur
the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia
