RA 102 Chapter 7
Tib/Fib, Knee, Femur
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Which side is the tibia located on? | the medial side |
| The fibula is located on the: | lateral side and slightly posterior |
| The superior surfaces of condyles from the tibia form: | articular facets for femur as part of the knee joint (tibial plateaus) |
| Tibial plateaus slope posteriorly how many degrees? | 10-20 degrees |
| Between the 2 articular surfaces of the tibia is a sharp projection called the: | intercondylar eminence (tibial spine) |
| The lateral condyle of the tibia has facet on posterior surface for | articulation with the fibula |
| The proximal tibiofibular joint is classified as what type of bone? | synovial, gliding type of joint |
| The distal, lateral surface of the tibia has a triangular depression for articulation with the: | distal fibula |
| The distal tibiofibular joint is classified as what type of joint? | amphiarthrotic (slightly moveable) |
| The anterior surface of the tibia is ______ to the condyles. | inferior |
| The tibial tuberosity serves as point of attachment for: | muscles |
| Where is the medial malleolus located? | located at the distal end |
| The medial malleolus forms part of the: | ankle mortise |
| The head of the fibula is located at the: | proximal end |
| The head of the fibula articulates with the: | lateral condyle of tibia (proximal tibiofibular joint) |
| Lateral malleolus: | - distal end - forms part of ankle mortise - projects lower than medial malleolus (15-20 deg) - not superimposed (malleolus) |
| The head of the femur: | - proximal, rounded end - articulates with acetabulum of pelvis to form hip joint (ball-and-socket) |
| The neck of the femur: | slender region just below head |
| The greater trochanter: | large prominent, palpable process at proximal end on lateral side |
| Where is the lesser trochanter located? | at the medial and posterior surface |
| Where are the epicondyles located? | medial and lateral, at the distal end just above the condyles |
| The medial and lateral condyles of the femur articulates with the: | tibia, to form the knee joint |
| When the femur is vertical the medial condyle is: | lower than the lateral condyle |
| How much degrees difference between the 2 condyles (lateral knee) medial condyles off the joint space | 5 - 7 degrees |
| The medial condyle of the femur has the abductor tubercle. T/F? | true |
| Where are the condyles of the femur located? | expanded, palpable distal ends |
| Where is the intercondylar fossa found on the femur? | a depression between the condyles on posterior surface |
| The knee is formed by the: | femoral condyles and the articular facets; on the superior surface of tibial condyles |
| The knee is classified as: | synovial, diarthrodial, hinge type joint |
| The knee protected by patella: | - sesamoid bone - located on anterior surface of femur |
| The knee is stabilized and cushioned by the: | menisci |
| The lateral and medial meniscus lie on the: | tibial plateaus |
| The knee supported by ligaments: | - Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) - Tibial collateral ligament (TCL) - Fibular collateral ligament (FCL) |
| The patella is the largest and most constant: | sesamoid in the body |
| The patella is situated on the: | distal, anterior femur |
| The patella develops in the tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle between the ages of: | 3 and 5 years |
| The patella is a sesamoid bone roughly triangular in shape, with the apex of the patella facing which direction? | facing downwards toward the knee joint |
