Ligaments/Other-FINAL

Question 0

fibrocartilaginous and increases acetabulum

Answer 0

acetabular labrum

Question 1

undercurving fibrous band spanning btw ASIS and pubic tubercle

Answer 1

inguinal ligament

Question 2

reinforces the hop joint anteriorly and superiorly. Y-shaped attaching to AIIS, and acetabular rim. prevents hyperextension of the hip during standing by screwing femoral head in acetabulum

Answer 2

iliofemoral ligament

Question 3

supports hip joint posteriorly. weak. arises from ischial part of acetabular rim and spirals to neck of femur

Answer 3

ischiofemoral ligament

Question 4

supports hip joint inferiorly and anteriorly arising from obturator crest to merge with fibrous layer of joint capsule. blends with the iliofemoral ligament and tightens during extension and abduction. resists excessive abduction

Answer 4

pubofemoral ligament

Question 5

deep fascia of the thigh articulating with inginal ligament, pubic arch, body of pubis, iliac crest, sacrum, coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament, ischial tuberosity and superfical aspect of bones.

Answer 5

fascia lata

Question 6

broad band of fibers extending from iliac tubercle to anterolateral tibial tubercle. aponeurosis of TFL and gluteus max

Answer 6

iliotibial (IT) band

Question 7

connects quadricepts to anterior portion of patella and is continuous with patellar ligament

Answer 7

quadriceps tendon

Question 8

crosses the patella. transmits the draw of the quad femoris using patella as an angle that increases leverage

Answer 8

patellar ligament

Question 9

insertion of sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosus

Answer 9

pes anserinus

Question 10

strong, flat band extending from medial epicondyle of femur to medial epicondyle and superior surface of tibia. deep fibers are firmly attached to medial meniscus

Answer 10

tibal collateral ligament or medial collateral ligament (MCL)

Question 11

rounded and cord-like. STRONG. extends inferiorly from lateral epicondyle of femur to lateral head of fibula. splits tendon of biceps femoris

Answer 11

fibular collateral ligament or lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

Question 12

crescentric plates of fibrocartiliage playing a role in shock absorption.

Answer 12

menisci

Question 13

knee joint cavity extends deep to vastus intermedius as this.

Answer 13

suprapatellar bursa

Question 14

weaker cruciate ligament. arising from anterior intercondylar area of tibia. extends superiorly, posteriorly, and laterally to attach posterior part of lateral condyle of femur. limits posterior rolling and converts the bones to spin. prevents posterior displacement of femur on the tibia and hyperextension of knee joint

Answer 14

ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)

Question 15

strong, arising from posterior intercondylar area of tibia. limits anterior rolling of femur on the tibial plateau during extension converting it to a spin. prevents anterior displacement of femur and helps prevent hyperflexion of the knee joint

Answer 15

PCL posterior cruciate ligament

Question 16

reflected expansion of tendon of semimebranosus strengthening joint capsule posteriorly. arises posterior to medialtibial condyle and passes superolaterally attaching central part of posterior aspect of joint capsule

Answer 16

oblique popliteal ligament

Question 17

arises from posterior aspect of fibular head, passing superomedially over tendon of popliteus spreading over posterior knee joint

Answer 17

arcuate popliteal ligament

Question 18

retracts suprapatellar bursa and elevation of articular capsule of knee joint during extension

Answer 18

articularis genu muscle

Question 19

connects shafts of tibia and fibula

Answer 19

interrosseous membrane

Question 20

reinforces the lateral portion of ankle joint consisting of anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments and calcaneofibular ligament

Answer 20

lateral ligament

Question 21

hinge type synovial located btw distal ends of tibia and fibula and superior talus

Answer 21

talocrural joint (ankle)

Question 22

occurs where talus rests on and articulates with the calcaneous. synovial joint surounded by weak joint capsule supported by talocalcaneal ligaments

Answer 22

subtalar joint

Question 23

compound joint formed by talonavicular part of talocalcaneonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints

** transection across this joint is a standard method for surgical amputation of the foot

Answer 23

transverse tarsal joint

Question 24

condyloid synovial joint. actions= flexion, extension, some abduction, adduction and circumduction. has collateral and plantar ligaments

Answer 24

metatarsophalangeal joint

Question 25

hinge synovial type of joint. actions are flexion and extension. collateral and plantar ligaments

Answer 25

interphalangeal joint

Question 26

supports head of talus and plays important role in weight transfer from talus and maintaining longitudinal arch of foot

Answer 26

plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament

Question 27

important in maintaining longitudinal arch of foot. some fibers of this ligament form a tunnel for tendon of fibularis longus

Answer 27

long plantar ligament

Question 28

deep to long plantar ligament. involved in maintaining arch

Answer 28

plantar calcaneocuboid (short) ligament
