  • 2. 

    Which joint is the largest in your body?

    • The knee joint

    • The elbow joint

    • The neck joint

    • The jaw joint

    Correct Answer
    A. The knee joint
    Explanation
    The knee joint is the largest joint in the body. It is responsible for connecting the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia) and allows for movement such as walking, running, and jumping. This joint is a hinge joint, which means it primarily allows for flexion and extension. The knee joint also contains cartilage and ligaments that provide stability and cushioning to absorb shock during movement. Overall, the knee joint's size and complexity make it the largest joint in the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The flat bone that protects the front of the knee is called the _______________.

    • Patella

    • Femur

    • Ulna

    • Scapula

    Correct Answer
    A. Patella
    Explanation
    The flat bone that protects the front of the knee is called the patella. The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a triangular-shaped bone that sits in front of the knee joint. It acts as a protective shield, providing support and stability to the knee joint during movements such as walking, running, and jumping.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What are the two muscle groups that surround the knee?

    • Quadriceps and hamstrings

    • Deltoid and trapezius

    • Bicep and tricep

    • Gluteus maximus and quadriceps

    Correct Answer
    A. Quadriceps and hamstrings
    Explanation
    The two muscle groups that surround the knee are the quadriceps and hamstrings. The quadriceps are a group of four muscles located on the front of the thigh, while the hamstrings are a group of three muscles located on the back of the thigh. These two muscle groups work together to provide stability and movement to the knee joint. The quadriceps are responsible for extending the knee, while the hamstrings are responsible for flexing the knee.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The extra pads of cartilage that keep the knees of the bone from grinding against each other are called ___________.

    • Menisci

    • Quadriceps

    • Hamstrings

    • Abdominals

    Correct Answer
    A. Menisci
    Explanation
    The extra pads of cartilage that keep the knees from grinding against each other are called menisci. Menisci are C-shaped discs of cartilage located between the bones of the knee joint. They provide cushioning and help to distribute the load evenly across the joint, reducing friction and preventing excessive wear and tear on the bones.

    If you've ever sat on the sidelines with a knee injury, you probably appreciate how your knees power you through various sports and activities: kicking, jumping, running, and pivoting.  What's in a Knee? The knee is a joint, actually the largest joint in the body. Your knees provide stability and allow your legs to bend, swivel, and straighten.  The knee is considered a hinge joint just like the fingers and elbows. The knee is made up of bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all working as one.  The knee sits in the middle of three bones: the tibia (your shinbone), the femur (your thighbone), and the patella (the kneecap). The patella is a flat, round bone that protects the knee joint. The ends of the femur and the patella are covered in articular cartilage that acts like a cushion and keeps the femur, patella, and tibia from grinding against each other. On the top of the tibia, extra pads of cartilage called menisci help absorb the body's weight . Each knee has two menisci — the inside (medial) meniscus and the outside (lateral) meniscus. The muscles around the knee include the quadriceps, a group of four muscles at the front of the thigh, and the hamstring, located at the back of the thigh. The quadriceps help you straighten and extend your leg, and the hamstring helps you bend your knee. So next time you’re watching a soccer game or playing in one, think about how all the parts of your knee are working together.
