knee Flashcards
what is this
fibular collateral ligament
lateral epicondyle tibia to fibula
not attached to meniscus
what is this
tibial collteral ligament
medial side
medial epicondyle femur to antromedial aspect proximal tibia
edge medial meniscus attatched
what happens to knee ligaments when knee flexed versus extended
extended - they are tight
prevents knee joint moving side to side
rotation can only happen when knee flexed
what tendon is this
quadriceps tendon
what ligament is this
patellar ligament
what are the knee extensor muscles
quadriceps
hamstrings
what muscle is this
vastus intermedius
arises lateral femur
what muscle is this
vastus medialis
infront of vastus intermedius
wraps all way round
medial edge linea aspira
what muscle is this
vastus lateralus
cover intermedius almost completely
wrap allt he way round
lateral edge medial aspira
what muscle is this
rectus femoris
two parts head - straight (anterior inferior iliac spine and posterior (acetabulum
what makes up the quadriceps
rectus femoris
vastus intermedius
vastus medialis
vastus lateralis
converge quadriceps tendon
action quadriceps muscle
extension of the knee
what does quadriceps work with
gluteus maximus
what is the adductor canal formed from
the groove between adductor magnus and vastus medialis
covered by sartorius
what are the knee flexor muscles
hamstrings
gracilis
sartorius
what muscle is this
semimebrinosus and tendinosus
insert medial side knee
identify biceps femoris
identify sartorius and gracilis
identify popliteus
identify plantaris
above popliteus
long tendon across soleus
what is this muscle
gastrocnemius
slight flexor knee - main action ankle joint
