Joints

Hip Joint

• Which type of joint is the hip?
  Ball and socket
• Which ligament of the hip joint closes the acetabular notch?
  Transverse acetabular ligament or transverse ligament of the acetabulum

Knee Joint

• Choose the correct answer about the knee:
  Its medial collateral ligament is firmly attached to the medial meniscus
• The inability to extend the leg at the knee joint would indicate paralysis of the muscle:
  Quadriceps femoris muscle
• Which of these answers about the lateral collateral ligament of the knee is false?
  It has a deep relation with the lateral meniscus
• Which of these ligaments of the knee prevents the posterior displacement of the femur?
  Anterior cruciate ligament
• Which of the following muscles does not contribute to the stability of the knee?
  Tibialis posterior

Ankle Joint

• Which type of joint is the talocrural joint or ankle joint?
  Hinge-type
• A patient who cannot dorsiflex the foot has probably damaged the:
  Tibionavicular ligament

Muscles

• Select the correct statement:
  The tendon of the flexor digitorum longus is superficial to the tendon of the tibialis posterior at the level of the medial malleolus
• Choose the muscle(s) that form(s) part of the Pes Anserinus:
  Sartorius and semitendinosus
• Select the correct statement:
  The peroneus longus muscle inserts on the proximal end of the first metatarsus and the medial cuneiform bone
• Which of these muscles is innervated by the superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve?
  Peroneus longus
• The chiasma cruralis is formed when the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus crosses the tendon of the muscle:
  Tibialis posterior
• The chiasma plantaris (master knot of Henry) is formed when the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle is crossed by the tendon of the muscle:
  Flexor digitorum longus

Hip Muscles

• Choose the false answer about the muscles of the hip:
  The hip flexor muscles insert on the greater trochanter

Quadriceps Femoris Muscle

• Select the false answer about the quadriceps femoris muscle:
  The rectus femoris has only one origin (on the anterior inferior iliac spine)

Gluteal Region Muscles

• Choose the false answer about the muscles of the gluteal region:
  Gluteus minimus originates on the iliac crest

Mandible Muscles

• Which of these muscles elevates (closes the mouth) the mandible bone?
  Temporalis and masseter
• Choose the true answer about the muscles of the temporomandibular joint:
  The function of the masseter and temporal muscles are to elevate the mandible, closing the mouth

Bones

• Which of these bones are only found in the wrist and ankle?
  Short bones
• The head of the talus is in its:
  Anterior side
• Which bone articulates with the calcaneus?
  Cuboid

Skull Bones

• The coronal suture is made up of the bones:
  Frontal and parietal bones
• The sagittal suture is made up of the bones:
  Parietal bones
• Which of these bones does not belong to the viscerocranium?
  Ethmoid

Nerves

• Which of these structures is located in the lesser sciatic foramen?
  Pudendal nerve
• Choose the false answer about the femoral nerve:
  It provides a branch that supplies the skin on the lateral side of the foot
• Which of these structures does not pass under (deep to) the inferior or superior extensor retinaculum of the ankle?
  Superficial peroneal nerve
• One of the following nerves only has cutaneous branches:
  Genitofemoral nerve

Femoral Triangle

• Select the incorrect statement about the femoral triangle:
  It is bounded medially by the adductor magnus

Temporomandibular Joint

• Choose the incorrect one about the temporomandibular joint:
  The insertion of the masseter muscle is on the lateral surface and inferior angle of the mandible
