Question 1

Overview of Knee

Answer 1

bears all body weight, increases ROM, great amount of strength with ligaments and muscles, increases leverage

Question 2

Bursae

Answer 2

really small synovial sacs that are in between ligaments, bone and skin, area with lots of friction

Question 3

3 types of articulation in the knee

Answer 3

uni-axial hinge (flex. ext.) plane/gliding (patella) and rotation

Question 4

muscle attachments of knee

Answer 4

Quadricep femurous connects via the quadricep tendon to the patella, then the patellar ligament connects to the tibia

Question 5

Knee Minisci

Answer 5

made of cartilage, fnxs as shock absorbers and deepening the tibial plateau

Question 6

Lateral Meniscus

Answer 6

light anchoring at ends of C shape

Question 7

Medial meniscus

Answer 7

much more anchored, to tibial a medial collateral ligament of knee

Question 8

medial collateral ligament of the knee

Answer 8

Femur to tibia, also called tibial collateral ligament. FNX limits ABduction of leg, prevents rotation of leg while extended

Question 9

Lateral collateral ligament of knee

Answer 9

Femur to fibula, also called fibular collateral ligament, FNX limits ADduction of the leg, prevents rotation of leg while extended

Question 10

Anterior Cruciate ligament

Answer 10

runs from ant. tibial plateau to medial surface of lat. femoral condyle. FNX limits ant. movement of tibia on femur. limits rotation and prevents hyperextension

Question 11

Posterior cruciate ligament

Answer 11

runs from post. tibial plateau to lat. surface of medial condyle. FNX limits post. movement of tibia on femur. One of the biggest ligaments in the knee. limits rotation and prevents hyperextension
