Hip flexion is movement of the femur straight posteriorly toward the pelvis.

F

The tibial nerve innervates both the gracilis and biceps femoris muscles.

F

With the exception of the glenohumeral joint, the acetabular femoral joint is the lead mobile joint of the body.

F

Functions of the acetabular femoral joint include weight bearing and locomotion.

T

The femoral nerve innervates essentially of all the hip flexor muscles

T

The most palpable point of the femur at the hip is the greater trochanter.

T

The patella serves as a pulley by improving the angle of pull with the results bring a greater mechanical advantage for the quadriceps during the knee extension.

T

The right and left pelvis are joined together by the sacrum at the right and left sacroiliac.

T

The three-biarticular hamstring muscles are innervated by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve

T

The tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles.
