Q

Medial Collateral Ligament

A

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

16
Q

Annular Ligament

A

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

17
Q

Iliofemoral Ligament

A

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

18
Q

Pubofemoral Ligament

A

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

19
Q

Ischiofemoral Ligament

A

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

20
Q

Ligamentum teres

A

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

20
Q

Anterior Collateral
Ligament

A

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

21
Q

Medial Collateral Ligament

A

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)

21
Q

Anterior talofibular
ligament

A

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

22
Q

Posterior Collateral
Ligament

A

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

23
Q

Lateral Collateral Ligament

A

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

24
Q

Calcaneofibular Ligament

A

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

25
Q

Posterior Collateral
Ligament

A

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

26
Q

Ligamentum nuchae

A

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

27
Q

Supraspinous ligament

A

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

28
Q

Anterior longitudinal
ligament

A

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

29
Q

Posterior longitudinal
ligament

A

Location: runs along the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies within the vertebral canal.
Function: It resists hyperflexion of the vertebral column and helps prevent posterior herniation of the nucleus pulposus of an IV disc.

30
Q

Interspinous Ligament

A

Location: attaches from the base to the apex of each spinous process,
Function: The interspinous ligaments connect adjacent vertebral spinous processes

31
Q

Intertransverse Ligament

A

Location: They extend from the upper border of the transverse process of one vertebra to the lower border of the transverse process
Function: The main function of these ligaments is to limit lateral flexion of the vertebral column.

32
Q

Ligamentum Flavum

A

Location: Each ligament runs almost vertically from the anterior surface of the lamina above to the posterior surface of the lamina
Function: to resist separation of the laminae during flexion
