Knee Test

What are the three major bones that make up the knee joint?

• Femur, Tibia, and Patella

• Humerus, Radius, and Ulna

• Scapula, Clavicle, and Sternum

• Fibula, Talus, and Calcaneus

The function of the patella is to:

• protect the knee joint

• aid in digestion

• support the spine

• regulate body temperature

The tibiofemoral joint is a type of joint that allows which movement?

• Hinge joint; allows flexion and extension

• Ball and socket joint; allows rotational movement

• Pivot joint; allows rotational movement

• Saddle joint; allows movement in two planes

The function of articular cartilage in the knee is to:

• provide structural support

• reduce friction

• connect bones together

• produce synovial fluid

The menisci play a crucial role in the knee joint by:

• providing stability and acting like a cushion for the knees

• connecting muscles to bones

• producing synovial fluid

• facilitating blood circulation

The four main ligaments of the knee are:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Meniscus, Lateral Meniscus

• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), Patellar Ligament, Quadriceps Tendon

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Meniscus, Patellar Ligament

The ACL and PCL are called "cruciate" ligaments because:

• They are located in the shoulder joint.

• They cross each other in the knee joint.

• They are the longest ligaments in the body.

• They are found in the hip joint.

The four quadriceps muscles are responsible for extending the knee joint. Which of the following are the four quadriceps muscles?

• Rectus femoris, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medialis, Vastus intermedius

• Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, Sartorius

• Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Popliteus

• Adductor longus, Adductor brevis, Gracilis, Pectineus

Which of the following are symptoms and treatments for patellar tendonitis?

• Pain and swelling in the knee, rest and physical therapy

• Headache and fever, antibiotics

• Stomach ache and nausea, antacids

• Back pain and stiffness, surgery

An MCL sprain occurs due to:

• a direct blow to the outside of the knee

• overuse of the knee joint

• a sudden twist of the knee

• a fall on the knee
