The fibula is not part of the ginglymus articulation of the knee joint.

True

The knee joint is the largest joint in the body.

True

The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are located on the outermost anterior and posterior surfaces of the knee joint.

False

The femoral condyles articulate with the fibular condyles during flexion of the knee.

False

The lateral collateral ligament originates on the lateral femoral condyle distally to popliteus origin and inserts on the fibular head.

False

The lateral tibia bears the majority of the weight associated with the knee joint.

False

The patella is classified as an "long" bone because it is imbedded in the patellar tendon.

False

The semimembranosus inserts anteromedially on the medial tibial condyle.

False

All three of the vasti muscles of quadriceps originate on proximal femur and insert on patellar superior pole and on through to the tibial tuberosity.

True

The biceps femoris inserts primarily on the head of the fibula.

True

The iliotibial tract of the tensor fasciae latae inserts on Gerdy's condyle.

True

The lateral fibula serves as the attachment for knee joint structures but does not articulate with the femur or patella.

True

The medial collateral ligament originates on the medial aspect of upper medial femoral condyle and inserts on medial tibial surface.

True

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

The sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus all insert just below the medial condyle on upper anteromedial tibial surface.

True
