In which of the following locations would a clinician expect to find a ligament?
A)
At the attachment points between ribs and the sternum
B)
Between the radius bone of the arm and the biceps brachii muscle
C)
Around the capsule that forms the knee joint
D)
Between the individual plates of the skull
Ans:
C
Feedback:
Ligaments exist where a bone connects to its articulating mate, as in the case of the synovial joint between the tibia and femur that constitutes the knee. Ligaments do not connect the ribs to the sternum, and the radius and biceps are connected by a tendon. The interfaces between the skull plates are considered joints, but these are not ligaments.
