adjacent vertebrae are called:
ischiofemoral ligament - ✔️✔️The ligament that wraps over the neck of the femur and
attaches deep to the iliofemoral ligament is the:
What is the insertion of the biceps femoris? - ✔️✔️head of fibula
Lateral tibial condyle - ✔️✔️What is the slightly concave surface on the lateral proximal
tibia that articulates with the lateral femoral condyle?
Linea aspera - ✔️✔️What is the rough, low ridge along the posterior femur and serves
as an attachment site for the hip adductors?
Fibular collateral - ✔️✔️Which term refers to the ligament that runs from the lateral
femoral condyle to the head of the fibula?
anterior cruciate ligament - ✔️✔️What is the ligament that runs from the anterior
intercondylar surface of the tibia to the posterior medial surface of the lateral femoral
condyle?
What muscle works to medially rotate the hip and stabilize the knee? - ✔️✔️TFL
Which muscle is the prime mover of flexion of the hip? - ✔️✔️Iliopsoas
The sacroiliac joint is which type of joint? - ✔️✔️Gliding
, Superior extensor retinaculum - ✔️✔️The fibrous band that runs horizontally from the
anterior fibula to the anterior tibia is the:
