false
T/F the acetabulum inserts into the femoral head to form the acetabular femoral joint
false
T/F the structural instability of the acetabular femoral joint makes this joint susceptible to subluxations and dislocations

T/F the most palpable point of the femur at the hip is the greater trochanter
true
T/F the patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the result being a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during knee extension
true
T/F the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus all insert just below the medial condyle on upper anteromedial tibial surface
true
T/F the tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles
true
