Document Summary

Quadriceps muscle- 4 muscles come together and form on anterior side, incorporate sesamoid bone- patella. Patella ligament- the tendon is not stopping on the top of the patella, it is embedded in the tendon. Tendon of patella quadriceps extend all the way to the patella ligament (tendon=patella ligament) Anterior on the outside of capsule, some stability. Tendons are the same material as extracapsular ligament (dense regular tissue) Tibial collateral ligament- medial side, attached to the tibia mcl- medial collateral ligament of the knee. Fibula collateral ligament- lcl of the knee, on the other side, extracapsular ligaments. Remove capsule, see inside 2 intracapsular ligament- posterior/anterior cruciate ligaments (pcl and acl) Attaches on the tibia plateau anteriorly and posteriorly. Cup shaped- provides labrums on the acetabulum and glenoid fossa, providing some support, See the disc- menisci- 2 c-shaped- involved in rotational move across the knee deepens the cavity. Shape for more condyles, allows _ right on top of tibia plateau.
