the condyle has: -- ANSWER--increased in size
the anterior cruciate ligament is responsible for: -- ANSWER--restraint to
anterior tibial translation with respect to femur
the posterior cruciate ligament is responsible for -- ANSWER--restraint to
posterior tibial translation with respect to femur
t/F: the two points of attachment for the medial collateral ligament are the distal
medial femoral condyle and the proximal fibular head -- ANSWER--false
with respect to the degrees of freedom of motion in the knee: how many are
there? -- ANSWER--6

, 2
the arcs of flexion in the knee are: -- ANSWER--deep flexion, functional, screw
home
the mechanical axis of the lower extremity is determined by drawing a straight
line from: -- ANSWER--the center of the femoral head to the center of the ankle
joint
anatomical position denotes the patient standing with: -- ANSWER--arms
extended at the sides/palms facing forward/ toes slightly downward
the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones is: --
ANSWER--ligaments
the soft type of bone exists in the epiphysis regions of long bones -- ANSWER-
cancellous bone
when we refer to the "functional axes" of the knee, we reference the
combination of rotations around what two axes? -- ANSWER--the TEA of the
femur combined with the longitudinal axis of the tibia
Page 2 of 73
, 3
the flexion-extension axis closely corresponds to the insertion points of what
two ligamentous soft tissue structures in the knee joint? -- ANSWER--MCL and
LCL
the "anatomical" or "clinical" TEA of the knee is an imaginary line that
connects: -- ANSWER--the most prominent parts of the medial and lateral
epicondyles
the "surgical" TEA is an imaginary line that connects: -- ANSWER--the medial
epicondylar sulcus with the prominence of the lateral epicondyle
The LCL originates at the (blank) and inserts on the (blank) -- ANSWER-
Lateral femoral condyle/ fibular head
T/F: the patella serves as a fulcrum for the quadriceps muscles and provides a
mechanical advantage to help the quadriceps function more efficiently --
ANSWER--True
When referring to bone anatomy of the knee, how many bones comprise the
knee? -- ANSWER--4

synovial
T/F: the posterior cruciate ligament is extracapsular -- ANSWER--False
avascular necrosis means: -- ANSWER--death of bone related to lack of blood
flow
the medial femoral condyle is (blank) and (blank) curved than the lateral
condyle -- ANSWER--larger, more
when we discuss "bone changes in forma and function due to mechanical
stresses and the force of muscular tension placed on it" we are discussing? --
