Clinical Anatomy: Quiz 2.2 - Quiz

Femoral architecture, trabeculae, hip joint capsule/ligaments/anastomosis/ROM/kinematics


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Name the 4 intracapsular components of the hip.

  • 2. 

    Name the 5 hip joint anastamosis.

  • 3. 

    What is the distinct lever arm of the femur?

    Explanation
    The distinct lever arm of the femur is known as the femoral neck. This is the part of the femur that connects the head of the femur (the ball-shaped top part) to the shaft of the bone. The femoral neck plays an important role in transmitting forces and providing stability to the hip joint. It acts as a lever arm for the muscles that move the hip, allowing for efficient movement and control.

    The internal architecture of the femur is designed to resist the high stress and strain on the head and neck of the femur. These structures are called:

    Explanation
    The internal architecture of the femur is composed of trabeculae, which are structures designed to resist the high stress and strain on the head and neck of the femur. Trabeculae are small, interconnected columns of bone that form a lattice-like structure within the bone. This arrangement helps distribute forces evenly and provides strength and support to the femur, preventing fractures and maintaining structural integrity.

  • 5. 

    _____ are formed along lines of stress.

    Explanation
    Trabeculae are formed along lines of stress. Trabeculae are small, interconnected, bony spicules that form a lattice-like structure within cancellous (spongy) bone. They provide support and help distribute forces along the lines of stress, making the bone stronger and more resistant to fractures. This arrangement allows for efficient weight-bearing and optimal utilization of bone material.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Trabeculae are most often found in the ends of short bones.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    They are most often found in the ends of long bones.

  • 7. 

    What are the 2 accessory trabeculae of the femoral head?

    Correct Answer
    trochanteric bundle and lateral bundle
    lateral bundle and trochanteric bundle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is trochanteric bundle and lateral bundle. These two accessory trabeculae are found in the femoral head. The trochanteric bundle is located on the medial side of the femoral head and extends towards the greater trochanter. The lateral bundle, on the other hand, is found on the lateral side of the femoral head and extends towards the lesser trochanter. These trabeculae help to provide support and strength to the femoral head, ensuring proper functioning of the hip joint.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What are the 2 main trabeculae of the femoral head?

    Correct Answer
    arcuate bundle and supporting bundle
    supporting bundle and arcuate bundle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "arcuate bundle and supporting bundle, supporting bundle and arcuate bundle". The question is asking for the two main trabeculae of the femoral head, and both options provide the same two trabeculae, just in a different order. Therefore, either option can be considered correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    In the head of the femur, the supporting and arcuate bundles intersect to create the:

    Correct Answer
    nucleus of the head
    Explanation
    The intersection of the supporting and arcuate bundles in the head of the femur creates the nucleus of the head. This refers to a central region or core within the head of the femur bone. The supporting and arcuate bundles are likely referring to ligaments or connective tissue structures that intersect at this point, forming the nucleus. This intersection may play a role in providing stability and support to the femur bone.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Less bone density is found in the areas between 2 intersections. This is known as the __________.

    Correct Answer
    zone of weakness
    Explanation
    The term "zone of weakness" refers to the areas between two intersections where there is a lower bone density. This means that these specific areas are more vulnerable and prone to fractures or other bone-related issues. The term highlights the importance of these zones in terms of potential weaknesses in the bone structure.

  • 11. 

    The pelvis also has 2 main trabecular systems (both laid by WBing.) Name them.

    Correct Answer
    sacroacetabular system and sacroischial system
    sacroischial system and sacroacetabular system
    Explanation
    The pelvis has two main trabecular systems, the sacroacetabular system and the sacroischial system. These systems are both laid by weight-bearing activities.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The hip joint capsule is avascular.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    no blood vessels in the joint capsule; nutrition usually comes though synovial fluid or back way though the bone)

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The hip joint capsule is comprised of 4 distinct sets of fibers. Name them. (ABC order)

    Correct Answer
    arcuate, circular, longitudinal, oblique
    arcuate, circular, longitudinal, and oblique
    Explanation
    The hip joint capsule is made up of four distinct sets of fibers: arcuate, circular, longitudinal, and oblique. These fibers provide stability and support to the hip joint, allowing for its range of motion and preventing excessive movement or dislocation.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The circular fibers on the hip joint capsule form the ______, which divide the capsule into a medial and lateral chamber.

    Correct Answer
    zona obicularis
    Explanation
    The circular fibers on the hip joint capsule form the zona obicularis, which divides the capsule into a medial and lateral chamber.

    "Accordian-like" folds are found on the inferior and superior aspects of the capsule. These are called

    Correct Answer
    frenula
    Explanation
    The correct answer is frenula. Frenula are accordion-like folds that are found on the inferior and superior aspects of the capsule. These folds help to provide stability and support to the capsule, allowing it to maintain its shape and function properly. Frenula are commonly found in various parts of the body, including the mouth, where they help to connect the tongue to the floor of the mouth.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Frenula of the hip joint capsule permit full ROM in which motions?

    • A.

      ADD/ABD

    • B.

      Flex/ext

    • C.

      IR/ER

    Correct Answer
    A. ADD/ABD
    Explanation
    The frenula of the hip joint capsule allow for full range of motion in the motions of adduction and abduction. These motions involve moving the leg towards or away from the midline of the body. The frenula are fibrous bands that help to stabilize the hip joint and prevent excessive movement. Therefore, when the frenula are intact, the hip joint can move freely in the adduction and abduction motions.

    The hip joint capsule is strengthened by 3 dense and strong ligaments. Which one(s) are anterior?

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The iliofemoral ligament is also known as the Y ligament of Bigelow

    The hip joint capsule is strengthened by 3 dense and strong ligaments. Which one(s) are posterior?

    Correct Answer
    ischiofemoral
    Explanation
    The ischiofemoral ligament is one of the three ligaments that strengthen the hip joint capsule. It is located on the posterior side of the hip joint.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    All the hip joint ligaments wrap around the hip joint in a counterclockwise (backward) direction.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

    The ligmanetum teres supplies no support to the hip joint -- it's primary purpose is to serve as a guide for the branch of the obturator artery as it travels to the fovea of the femur.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The ligmanetum teres does not provide support to the hip joint. Its main function is to guide the branch of the obturator artery as it travels to the fovea of the femur. Therefore, the statement is true.
