Unit 7 & 8 : Lower leg, ankle , and foot practice test.

Which bone forms the lateral part of the lower?

• tibia

• fibula

• patella

• talus

What motion is controlled by the gastrocnemius muscle?

• dorsiflexion

• plantarflexion

• eversion

• inversion

The Achilles tendon is also known as the

• patellar tendon

• calcaneal tendon

• tibial tendon

• fibular tendon

Which ligament is on the medial side of the ankle?

• deltoid ligament

• anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)

• Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL)

• Posterior tibiofibular ligament

The talus bone articulates with the:

• Tibia and fibula

• Navicular and cuneiform

• Calcaneus and metatarsals

• tibia and femur

What is the role of the plantar fascia?

• Stabilizes the ankle joint

• Supports the arch of the foot

• Connects the heel to the toes

• Cushions the foot during impact

Which bone is the "heel bone"?

• talus

• Navicular

• cuboid

• calcaneus

inversion of the foot involves

• turning the sole inward

• turning the sole outward

• pointing the toes upward

• flexing the ankle

The fibula's primary function is to:

• support body weight

• provide muscle attachment and stability

• protect the tibial nerve

• assist in dorsiflexion

Which muscle is primarily responsible for dorsiflexion?

• Gastrocnemius

• Tibialis Anterior

• soleus

• peroneus longus
