patella
The ligaments of the knee joint are
patellar ligament oblique popliteal ligament arcuate popliteal ligament tibial collateral ligament fibular collateral ligament
The bursae of the shoulder joint are?
subscapular and subdeltoid
Three bursae associated with knee joints are
suprapatellar prepatellar infrapatellar
The anular ligament of the radius also attaches to the
trochlear notch of the ulna
The strongest ligament in the body is the
iliofemoral ligament
The major ligaments of the hip joint are what?
iliofemoral ligament pubofemoral ligament ischiofemoral ligament
The iliofemoral ligament attaches what?
ilium to femur
____________ surround the capsule of the hip joint
Muscles
____________________ reinforce the shoulder joint capsule
Muscles and tendons
The shoulder joint is
a ball and socket joint that consists of the rounded head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula
The hip joint is
a ball-and-socket joint that consists of the head of the femur and the cup-shaped acetabulum
The articulation between the femur and the tibia is
a condyloid joint
The acetabular labrum is
a horse shoe shaped ring of fibrocartilage and functions to deepen the cavity of the acetabulum
The articulation between the femur and the patella is
a plane joint (gliding joint)
A fovea is what
a shallow depression
The anterior cruciate ligament attaches what?
anterior of tibia to lateral condyle of femur
The glenoid labrum functions to
deepen the glenoid cavity
The glenohumeral ligament attaches where?
glenoid cavity to lesser tubercle of humerus
The elbow joint has a ____________ between the trochlea of the humerus and trochlear notch of the ulna
hinge joint
The movements between the humerus and ulna are
hinge type movements
The arcuate popliteal ligament attaches what?
lateral condyle of femur to the fibula
The fibular collateral ligament attaches what?
lateral condyle of femur to the fibula
The oblique popliteal ligament attaches what?
lateral condyle of femur to the tibia
The radial collateral ligament attaches what?
lateral epicondyle of humerus to annular ligament of radius
The radial collateral ligament is located on the _________________ of the joint capsule?
lateral wall
The hip joint has __________ movement that the shoulder joint
less
The knee joint is greatly strengthened by
ligaments and tendons of several strong muscles
The shoulder joint capsule is very ___________
loose
The tibial collateral ligament attaches what?
medial condyle of femur to medial condyle of tibia
The ulnar collateral ligament attaches what?
medial epicondyle of humerus to coronoid process of ulna
The ulnar collateral ligament is located on the ________________ of the joint capsule
medial wall
Two _____________ separate the articulating surfaces of the femur and the tibia
menisci
The knee functions as a
modified hinge joint
Fatty pads of the elbow joint protect
non articular bony areas during joint movements
The elbow joint has a ___________ between the capitulum of the humerus and the fovea on the head of the radius
plane joint
The posterior cruciate ligament attaches what?
posterior of tibia to medial condyle of femur
The anular ligament of the radius allows
pronation and supination of the forearm (hand)
The head of the radius is free to do what
rotate in anular ligament
The ischiofemoral ligament connects
the ischium to the joint capsule
The transverse humeral ligament runs between?
the lesser tubercle and greater tubercle of humerus
The shoulder joint is capable of a wide range of movements due to
the looseness of its attachments and the large articular surface of the humerus compared to the shallow depth of the glenoid cavity
The knee joint consists of
the medial and lateral condyles at the distal end of the femur and the medial and lateral condyles at the proximal end of the tibia.
The patellar ligament attaches what?
the patella to the tibia
The pubofemoral ligament attaches what?
the pubis to the iliofemoral ligament
The coracohumeral ligament strengthens
the superior portion of the joint capsule
