Question 4

parts of sacroiliac joint

Answer 4

Question 6

posterior syndesmosis

Answer 6

• sacral tuberosity to iliac tuberosity

- interosseous and posterior sacroiliac fibers are the syndesmosis

Question 7

movements of sacroiliac joint

Answer 7

• nutation/counternutation

Question 8

sacrospinous ligament

Answer 8

• from posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx to ischial spine
• prevents excessive anterior rotation (nutation of sacrum)

Question 9

sacrotuberous ligament

Answer 9

• from posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx to ischial tuberosity
• prevents excessive anterior rotation (nutation of sacrum)

Question 10

pubic symphysis

Answer 10

• secondary cartilaginous
• fibrocartilage interpubic disc
• articulation of 2 symphysial surfaces of pubic bones with fibrocartilage disc
• movement: none except during childbirth

Question 11

sacrococcygeal symphysis

Answer 11

• secondary cartilaginous joint with an intervertebral disc
• apex of sacrum with base of coccyx
• movement: none except during childbirth (coccyx moves posteriorly)

Question 12

hip joint

Answer 12

• ball and socket
• articular surface of acetabulum with head of femur
• movement:
  
  • flexion/extension
  • abduction/adduction
  • circumduction
  • rotation

Question 13

ligaments of hip joint

Answer 13

• iliofemoral
• pubofemoral
• ischiofemoral

Question 14

iliofemoral ligament

Answer 14

• located anterior and superior to joint

- attaches from acetabular rim of ilium to intertrochanteric line

Question 15

pubofemoral ligament

Answer 15

• located anterior and inferior to joint

- attaches from superior rams of pubic bone to joint capsule and iliofemoral ligament

Question 16

ischiofemoral ligament

Answer 16

• located posterior to joint

- attaches from acetabular rim of ischium to femoral neck

Question 17

knee joint articulations

Answer 17

• 2 femorotibial: medial femoral condyle with medial tibial condyle; lateral femoral condyle with lateral tibial condyle
• 1 femoropatellar: patellar groove of femur with articular surface of patella

Question 18

movement of femorotibial articulation

Answer 18

• flexion/extension

- slight rotation during locking/unlocking

Question 19

movement of femoropatellar articulation

Answer 19

• gliding

Question 20

ligaments of knee joint

Answer 20

• ACL
• PCL
• MCL
• LCL

Question 21

ACL

Answer 21

• from anterior intercondylar area of tibia to posterior intercondylar area of femur

Question 22

PCL

Answer 22

• from posterior intercondylar area of tibia to anterior intercondylar area of femur

Question 23

MCL

Answer 23

• from medial epicondyle of femur to tibia inferior to medial condyle
• attaches to medial meniscus

Question 24

LCL

Answer 24

• from lateral epicondyle of femur to head of fibula

- does NOT attach to lateral meniscus

Question 25

tibiotalar joints

Answer 25

• superior tibfib joint

- tibiotalar syndesmosis

Question 26

superior tibfib joint

Answer 26

• head of fibular with lateral condyle of tibia

- very little movement

Question 27

tibiotalar syndesmosis

Answer 27

• interosseous membrane connects shaft of tibia and fibula
• distal end of fibula with fibular notch of tibia
• slight movement during wedging of talus during dorsiflexion

Question 28

ankle joint

Answer 28

• distal ends of tibia and fibula with talus

- dorsiflexion, plantarflexion

Question 29

talocalcaneal joint

Answer 29

• talus and calcaneus
• slight gliding with dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
• gliding with eversion/inversion

Question 30

transverse tarsal joints

Answer 30

• calcaneocubiond
• talonavicular (acts like ball and socket)
• slight gliding during inversion/eversion, dorsiflexion/plantarflexion

Question 31

cuneonavicular joint

Answer 31

• 3 cuneiforms with navicular

- very little movement

Question 32

tarsometatarsal joints

Answer 32

• bases of metatarsals with cuneiforms or cuboid

- very little movement

Question 33

MTP joints

Answer 33

• head of metatarsals with bases of proximal phalanges
• flexion/extension
• adduction/abduction
• circumduction

Question 34

IP joints

Answer 34

• head of proximal phalanges with base of middle (2-5) or distal (1) phalanges
• head of middle phalanges with base of distal phalanges (2-5)
• flexion/extension

Question 35
