Knee joint is architectural wonder.It is a Hinge joint. It has got Medial collateral ligament and Lateral collateral ligament from lower end of Femur bone to upper end of Tibia bone.There is a Synovial membrane covering the joint, containing Synovial fluid in it, to lubricate the joint. We have Anterior Cruciate ligament attached to anterior side of upper end of Tibia to posterior part of lower end of Femur and Posterior Cruciate ligament is attached to posterior and upper end of Tibia to lower and anterior end of Femur. They are extremely strong ligaments,witch prevent forward and backward dislocation of Knee joint, making it one of the strongest joint in body. You have two menisci also.(Lateral and Medial.)
When pinched, they cause ex-cruciating pain.
The cruciate ligament is found in your knee.
That is the correct spelling of "cruciate ligament." The ligaments of the knee include: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) medial collateral ligament (MCL) fibular (lateral) collateral ligament (LCL)
cruciate ligaments
In the Knee
anterior cruciate ligament?
The ligament of Wrisberg is in the knee. It runs from the medial femoral condyle behind the posterior cruciate ligament to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. If the ligament runs in front of the posterior cruciate ligament, it is a ligament of Humphries.
Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.
The knee.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is thinner and Weaker than the Posterior Cruciate ligament. Both ligaments are found in the Knee as they criss cross to make an "X" shape holding the femur and the Tibia together. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is often injured in sports activities.
medial collateral, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate
Yes Cruciate Ligament is true
Medial Collateral Ligament - Liimits sideways motion Lateral Collateral Ligament - Also limits sideways motion Anterior Cruciate Ligament - Limits rotation and forward motion of the tibia. Posterior Cruciate ligament - limits the backwards motion of the knee. Patellar Ligament - attaches the kneecap to the tibia
