In addition to this, as you work through the joints, you will add appropriate vocabulary for bones and
muscles.
You concept map can be organized in any way that makes sense to you.



These joints listed below are ordered here from superior to inferior, which is a conventional way
to do it.
The concept information that you need to include in your concept map(s) are listed in bold
below. Include them either as part of the map or as annotations to the map
The following is information appropriate to the knee (femorotibial) joint. Use it in your concept
map and as an example for the other joints listed below. This is an example – so you won’t
need to do the knee joint. You do need to do this for all of the seventeen joints that are listed
below.
The kind of joint it is.

The femorotibial joint is a modified synovial diarthrotic hinge joint.
The kind of movement allowed:

flexion and extension and light rotation.

Identify the articulating bones, including the particular features on the bones involved in the
articulation.

the medial and lateral condyles of both the femur and the tibia. The intercodyloid
eminence of the tibia articulates with the intercondylar notch of the femur.
The muscles that cross those joints and what movement is produced.

There are several muscles that cross the femorotibial joint.
o
o
The quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastas lateralis, medialis and intermedius.) cross the
femorotibial joint and attach to the tibial tuberosity via a common quadriceps
tendon. These muscle will extend the leg at the femorotibial joint and flex the thigh at
the hip
The hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinousus, seminmembranousus) are the
primary flexors of leg at the femorotibial joint



The biceps femoris inserts on the head of the fibula (which otherwise does not
participate in the femorotibial joint)
The semitendinousis attaches to the pes anserinus on the media tibia.
The semimenranousus inserts on the medial surface of the tibia
The major ligaments of the joint and their points of attachment on the articulating bones
 Ligaments in the femorotibial joint are either withint the capuse (intracapsular) or outside
of the joint capsue (extracapsular)

Intracapsular
o
o
o

Anterior cruciate ligament : lateral condyle of the femur to the aterior intercondlylar
area.
Posterior cruciate ligament" medial condyle of the femur to the posterior intercondylar
area
Transverse ligament: lateral miniscus to medial minisucs
Extracapsular
o patellar ligament: patella to tibial tuberosity; runs with the quadriceps tendon
o medial collateral ligament: medial epicondyle of the femur to medial tibial condyle
o lateral collateral ligament: lateral epicondyle of the femur to latera tibial condyle
Other Structures (bursa or menisci)

The femorotibial joint has several bursa/ the largest is the suprapatellar bursal

Menisici
o
o
the medial meniscus
the lateral meniscus.
