which of the following are bones that articulate together to make up the knee joint? select all that apply.
femur
tibia
fibula
patella

Explanation:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL): Prevents excessive anterior (forward) movement of the tibia relative to the femur (or excessive posterior movement of the femur relative to the tibia).
• Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL): Prevents excessive posterior (backward) movement of the tibia relative to the femur.
• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL): Resists valgus (knock - knee) forces.
• Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL): Resists varus (bow - leg) forces.
• For the knee joint bones:
• The femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap) are the main bones that articulate to form the knee joint. The fibula is a non - weight - bearing bone on the lateral side of the tibia and has a very minor role in the knee joint compared to the femur, tibia, and patella.

Answer:

• First question: C. ACL
• Second question: Femur, Tibia, Patella
