Week 7

Question 1

Patella

Answer 1

Sesamoid bone

Is embedded with the quadriceps muscle

Articulates with the patella surface of the femur to form the patellofemoral joint

Helps improve mechanical advantage for knee extension

Joints of the knee inside the one cavity

Answer 2

• Tibiofemoral
• Patellofemoral

Question 3

Classification and movements of the Tibiofemoral joint

Answer 3

synovial, biaxial, condyloid
- flexion extension
- external/internal rotation

Question 4

Classification and movements of the Patellofemoral joint

Answer 4

Synovial, biaxial, plane
- small gliding movements

Question 5

Knee extensors

Answer 5

• Rectus femoris
• Vastus lateralis
• Vastus medialis
• Vastus intermedius
• Tensor fascia late

Question 6

Knee flexors

Answer 6

• Bicep femoris
• Semitendinosis
• Semimembranosous
• Sartorius
• Gastrocnemius
• Popliteus

Question 7

Knee rotators

Answer 7

• Bicep femoris
• Semitendiosus
• Semimembranosus
• Gracilis
• Sartorius
• Popliteus

Question 8

Classification of superior tibiofibular joint

Answer 8

synovial, multiaxial, plane

Question 9

Classification of intermediate tibiofibular joint

Answer 9

Fibrous

Question 10

Classification of inferior tibiofibular joint

Answer 10

Fibrous

Question 11

Tibiofibular joints function

Answer 11

• Dorsiflexion - fibular moves upwards

Question 12

Classification of Talocrural joint (ankle)

Answer 12

Synovial, uniaxial, hinge

Question 13

Movements of Talocrural joint (ankle)

Answer 13

Dorsiflexion, plantarflexion

Question 14

Articulations of talocrural joint (ankle)

Answer 14

-The medial malleolus (tibia) forms one wall

-Inferior (trochlear) surface of tibia

-Articular facet of the fibula, the other wall

• Tibial and fibia - distal ends

Question 15

Classification of subtalar joint

Answer 15

Synovial, multiaxial, plane

Question 16

Movements of subtalar joint

Answer 16

Inversion

Eversion

Question 17

Articulations of subtalar joint

Answer 17

Talus (inferior surface)

Calcaneus (superior surface)

Question 18

Function of the medial colateral ligament

Answer 18

Stabilise the ankle joint during eversion
- prevent unwanted movements

Question 19

Functions of the lateral colateral ligament

Answer 19

Stabilise the ankle joint during inversion
- Prevent unwanted movements

Question 20

Classification of Tarsometatarsal joints

Answer 20

Synovial, plane joints

Question 21

Articular surfaces of Tarsometatarsal joints

Answer 21

Cuneiforms and cuboid bones with the metatarsals

Question 22

Classification of metatarsophalangeal joints

Answer 22

synovial, biaxial, condyloid

Question 23

Movements of metatarsophalangeal joints

Answer 23

• Flexion/extension
• Abduction/adduction

Question 24

Answer 24

Synovial, uniaxial, hinge

Question 25

Movements of interphalengeal joint

Answer 25

Flexion/extension
