Where is the acl found and why is it a common sprain in sports?
Three bones meet to form your knee joint: your thighbone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and kneecap (patella). Your kneecap sits in front of the joint to provide some protection. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments. There are four primary ligaments in your knee. They act like strong ropes to hold the bones together and keep your knee stable.
What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?
The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.
Can the joints hold three bones?
Yes, your ankle "joint" consists of three bones. The Talus, Tibia, Fibula.
What three bones make up the tibiofemoral joint?
The tibiofemoral joint is also known as the knee. It is a joint that is made up of three articulating bones; the femur, tibia, and patella. It is classified as a modified hinge joint in that it functions as a hinge and a gliding joint. It is the second most complex joint in the body. The most complex is the TMJ, or temporomandibular joint which is the jaw.
How many bones meet the elbow joint?
In normal human anatomy, three bones come together to form the elbow joint in the arm. The elbow joint is sometimes referred to as the "articulatio cubiti".
How do you build an elbow joint?
Three bones form the elbow joint: the Humerus of the upper arm, and the paired Radius and Ulna of the forearm.
How the muscles enable the bones to move?
Muscles can move bones because they can reduce their length in response to a stimulus, which comes from the nervous system. Skeletal muscles, the ones attached to the bones to make them move, have two ends: an origin and an insertion. These ends are each connected to different bones and these bones are connected to each other by a joint. The two bones and the muscle can be seen to form a triangle, with the bones making up two of the three sides, and the muscle the third. answer is correct, this is a shorter version, muscle connects 2 bones, the muscle fibers contract to shorten and pull the bones closer together.
What type of joint is at the navicular radial joint?
The navicular bone is sometimes referred to scaphoid bone, which is one of the carpal bones in the wrist. It is also called the radiocarpal joint when it is associated with th radius and the lunate, another carpal bone. The three bones the form an ellipsoidal joint.
What are the three joints in your knee?

What is the type of joint found at the hand called?
The bones of the hand are the carpals (wrist bones), metacarpals (bones under the palm), and phalanges (finger bones). Part of the wrist would include the radius if you consider the wrist part of the hand. The carpals, by name, are the trapezoid, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, capitate, trapezium, and hamate. The three distinct phalanges are the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.PhalangesCarpalMetacarpalsare the bones in your hands
