lecture/reading quiz 4
All 3 hamstrings are biarticular.
false
Each toe has three interphalangeal joints except for the great toe which has only two.
false
Inversion is when you abduct the ankle joint and also turn the foot outward away from the midline of the body where the weight is on medial edge of foot.
false
The iliofemoral or "Y" ligament is located posteriorly and prevents hip hyperextension.
false
The lateral meniscus of the knee is attached to the lateral femoral condyle, while the medial meniscus is attached to the tibia.
false
The medial collateral ligament serves to attach the femur to the fibula.
false
The navicular bone is located just posterior to the cuboid bone.
false
With exception of the glenohumeral joint, the coxa femoral (A.K.A. acetabular femoral joint) is the least mobile joint in the body.
false
the knee joint is the largest joint in the body.
false
The soleus can perform knee flexion when contracting concentrically.
false (gastrocnemius)
The 2 pelvic bones join to form the amphiarthrodial joint referred to as the symphysis pubis.
true
The distal malleoli of the tibia and fibula serve as pulleys for the posterior tendons to increase the mechanical advantage of the respective muscles in performing inversion and eversion actions.
true
The lateral collateral ligament prevents a varus-type stress to the knee.
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 flexion.
true
The peroneus longus inserts onto the styloid of the 5th metatarsal.
true
The popliteus muscle crosses only a single joint.
true
The sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus all insert just below the medial condyle on upper anteromedial tibial surface. Group of answer choices
true
The superior-lateral fibula serves as the attachment site for the knee joint structures, but it does not articulate with the femur or patella.
true
The tibia bears the majority of the weight compared to the fibula.
true
The tibial tuberosity serves as the insertion point for all of the quadriceps muscles.
true
