T/F hip flexion is movement of the femur straight posteriorly

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

posteriorly; extension

Which of the following does not contribute to the relative stability of the acetabular femoral joint

rich nervous innervation

Agonist muscles during hip extension include all of the following except the

The insertion of the ... muscles is the posteromedial surface of the medial tibial condyle

semimembranosus

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

The iliopsoas is located ... and performs ... of the hip joint
