Question
Select all that applyThe knee joint includes two articulations. Indicate the articulations that are part of the knee joint.Multiple select question.articulation between the tibia and the femurarticulation between the femur and the patellaarticulation between the tibia and the fibula articulation between the tibia and the patella
Solution
The knee joint includes the following articulations:
- Articulation between the tibia and the femur
- Articulation between the femur and the patella
The articulation between the tibia and the fibula is not part of the knee joint, it is part of the ankle joint. The articulation between the tibia and the patella does not exist because the patella (kneecap) is a sesamoid bone embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle, and it articulates with the femur, not the tibia.
