Question 11

Superior Glenohumeral Ligament

Answer 11

Location: extends from supraglenoid tubercule of scapula to the proximal aspect of the lesser tubercle of humerus
Function: supports the rotator interval and prevents inferior translation of the humeral head,

Question 12

Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament

Answer 12

Location: extends between glenoid labrum and inferomedial part of humeral neck.
Function: Both bands stabilize the humeral head abducted above 90°.

Question 12

Lateral collateral Ligament

Answer 12

Location: It extends from the anterior aspect of the malleolus to the lateral surface of the talar neck
Function: connects the talus with the lateral malleolus of the fibula

Question 13

Acromioclavicular Ligament

Answer 13

Location: which attaches to the acromion process at one end and the clavicle at the other
Function: Supports the acromioclavicular joint

Question 14

Middle Glenohumeral Ligament

Answer 14

Location: attaches along the anterior glenoid margin of the scapula,
Function: It stabilizes the anterior capsule, limiting external rotation,

Question 15

Medial Collateral Ligament

Answer 15

Location: attaches to the medial malleolus proximally and to the calcaneus,
Function:

Question 16

Annular Ligament

Answer 16

Location: The radius
Function: Support to the proximal radioulnar joint

Question 17

Iliofemoral Ligament

Answer 17

Location: lies on the anterior and superior aspects of the hip joint,
Function: to prevent hyperextension of the hip joint when standing.

Question 18

Pubofemoral Ligament

Answer 18

Location: It arises from the iliopubic ramus, the superior pubic ramus and the obturator crest of the pubic bone
Function: reinforces the anterior and inferior aspects of the joint capsule

Question 19

Ischiofemoral Ligament

Answer 19

Location: It is attached medially to the ischial bone below the acetabulum.
Function: strengthens the posterior aspect of the joint capsule

Question 20

Ligamentum teres

Answer 20

Location: Its apex attaches to the fovea capitis while its base attaches to the acetabular notch
Function: carries a small branch of the obturator artery, the artery to the head of the femur for blood supply

Question 20

Anterior Collateral
Ligament

Answer 20

Location: knee
Function: it essentially acts to prevent too much forward movement

Question 21

Medial Collateral Ligament

Answer 21

Location: supporting structure on the medial part of the knee joint
Function: Its primary function is to resist valgus (twisting outwards away from the mid-line)

Question 21

Anterior talofibular
ligament

Answer 21

Location: attaches to the neck of the talus
Function: to resist inversion and plantar flexion of the ankle joint.[

Question 22

Posterior Collateral Ligament

Answer 22

Location: . They attach the tibia to the femur Function: Prevents anterior displacement of the femur on tibia

Question 23

Lateral Collateral Ligament

Answer 23

Location: ligament that originates from the lateral epicondyle of the femur Function: the ligament splits the tendon of biceps femoris muscle in two.

Question 24

Calcaneofibular Ligament

Answer 24

location: , it extends from the depression located anterior to the apex of the lateral malleolus of the fibula function: Stabilize the ankle joint.

Question 25

Posterior Collateral Ligament

Answer 25

Location: arises from the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia Function: prevents anterior rolling and displacement of the femoral condyle during extension

Question 26

Ligamentum nuchae

Answer 26

Location: back of the neck that extends between the base of the skull and C7 in the midline Function: to support the head

Question 27

Supraspinous ligament

Answer 27

Location: ns along and connects the tips of the spinous processes from vertebra C7 to the sacrum Function: This ligament prevents separation of spinous processes during flexion

Question 28

Anterior longitudinal ligament

Answer 28

Location: This ligament attaches superiorly to the occipital bone, anterior to the foramen magnum Function: prevents hyperextension of the spine.

Question 29

Posterior longitudinal ligament

Answer 29
