Q

ulnar collateral ligament

A

-coronoid process and olecranon to the medial epicondlye of the humerus
-supports the joint medially
-triangular

17
Q

radial collateral ligament

A

-lateral epicondlye of the humerus to the annular ligament of the radius
-supports the joint laterally
-triangular

18
Q

annular ligament

A

-connected on anterior and posterior edges of the radial notch
-circles radial neck

19
Q

corcoclavicular ligament

A

-connects coracoid process with the clavicle
-2 parts
* -lateral most = trapezoid ligament
* -medial most = conoid ligament

20
Q

conoid ligament

A
  • the posterior and medial
    -dense band of fibers, conical in form, with its base directed upward
    -the base of the coracoid process, medial to the trapezoid ligament
21
Q

trapezoid ligament

A

-the anterior and lateral fasciculus
-broad, thin, and quadrilateral
-obliquely between the coracoid process and the clavicle

22
Q

coracoacromial ligament

A

-between the coracoid process and acromion process
-prevents superior dislocation of the humerus

23
Q

acromialclavicular ligament

A

-acromion process to the clavical
-superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior components
-superior and posterior ligaments are the strongest
-serves to provide horizontal stability

24
Q

anterior longitudinal ligament

A

-occiptial bone of the skull to the sacrum
-attaches anterior and lateral surfaces of the vertebral bodies and IV disks
-prevents hyperextension
-broad fibrous band

25
Q

posterior longitudinal ligament

A

-C2 to the sacrum
-along the anterior aspect of the vertevral canal
-attaches primarily to the IV disks
-offers weak resistance to hyperflexion
-thin fibrous band
-extends into the skull as ‘tectorial membran’

26
Q

interspinous ligament

A

-connect adjoining spinous processes of the vertebra in the spine

27
Q

supraspinous ligament

A

-connects the posterior ridge of the spinous processes

28
Q

iliofemoral ligament

A

-between the illium and the femoral head
-v shaped located anteriorly
-strongest and most supportive of the pelvicfemoral ligaments
-reinforce the capsule of the hip joint

29
Q

ischiofemoral ligament

A

-spiraling
-posterior ligament
-reinforce the capsule of the hip joint

30
Q

pubiofemoral ligament

A

-pubis to the femoral head
-triangular thickening of the inferior part of the capsule
-reinforce the capsule of the hip joint

31
Q

ligamentum teres

A

-flat intracapsular band
-femur head to the lower lip of the acetabulum
