✔✔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 ______________: - ✔✔arms
extended at the sides/palms facing forward
✔✔The sagittal plane divides the body into__________ halves : - ✔✔left and right

position. - ✔✔supine
✔✔A surgeon is examining an x-ray image that includes a patient's right knee joint. The
"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

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: - ✔✔Tendon
✔✔True or false: The point of origin of a muscle is a location where a muscle can move.
- ✔✔false
✔✔The main function of cortical (compact) bone is to provide ________. - ✔✔Strength
