Knee Extracapsular Ligaments Patellar Ligament, MCL, & LCL

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the knee joint, focusing on extracapsular ligaments such as the patellar ligament, LCL, and MCL. It explains the difference between tendons and ligaments, particularly the patellar ligament and quadriceps tendon. The video also introduces intracapsular ligaments like the PCL and ACL, and discusses the role of menisci in knee stability. It highlights how to differentiate between the LCL and MCL, and examines the posterior view of the knee, including the function of the popliteus muscle.

Discuss the importance of the quadriceps tendon in relation to the patellar ligament.

What are the functions of the ACL and PCL in the knee joint?

Explain the anatomical relationship between the LCL and the lateral meniscus.

What is the role of the popliteus muscle in knee movement?
