52 multiple choice 1 point which of the following muscles crosses the tibiofemoral joint? gracilis adductor longus pectineus adductor magnus clear my selection

Explanation:

The gracilis muscle is a long, thin muscle that runs down the inner thigh. It originates from the pubic symphysis and pubic arch and inserts into the tibia. Since it attaches to the tibia (one of the bones of the tibiofemoral joint - the other being the femur), it crosses the tibiofemoral joint. The adductor longus, pectineus, and adductor magnus primarily act on the hip joint and do not cross the tibiofemoral joint as their insertions are mainly on the femur or other hip - related structures.

Answer:

Gracilis
