JR 101 Final Exam Questions with Correct
Answers
How many bones comprise the knee?
4
T/F: the patella serves as a fulcrum for the quadriceps muscles and provides a
mechanical advantage to help the quadriceps function more efficiently.
True
If you are standing, and take your index finger, and slide it down your thigh until it
contacts the
patella, the portion of the patella that you first contact is the:
Base
How many articulations exist within the knee joint (excluding the fibula)?
3
The knee joint is a modified hinge joint that is also a _________ joint.
Synovial
The ligaments of the knee can be divided into two groups:
extracapsular/intraarticular
True or false : the posterior cruciate ligament is intraarticular
True
,True or false: the primary function of the quadriceps muscle group is to extend the
knee.
True
True or false : the primary function of the hamstring muscle group is to flex the knee.
True
The hamstring muscle group includes:
biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus
If a surgeon commented that a particular femoral condyle was "hypertrophic", the
condyle has:
increased in size
Anatomical position denotes the patient standing, with ______________:

"contralateral" side is:
the left knee
This soft type of bone exists in the epiphyseal/metaphyseal regions of long bones...........
, cancellous
When we discuss "bone changes in form and function due to mechanical stresses and
the force of
muscular tension placed on it" ----- we are discussing:
Wolff's Law
The flexible connective tissue found on joint surfaces which allows joint surfaces to slide
against
one another is called:
cartilage
The fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones is:
Ligament
The anterior cruciate ligament in the knee originates on...
the lateral femoral condyle and inserts on the anterior surface of the tibial plateau
The posterior cruciate ligament in the knee originates on...
the medial femoral condyle and inserts on the posterior surface of the tibial plateau
True or false: The two points of attachment for the medial collateral ligament are the
distal medial
femoral condyle and the proximal fibular head.
false
A tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is
capable of
withstanding tension is known as:
