ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments within the knee that connect the femur to the tibia. The knee is basically a hinged joint that is held together by the medial collateral ligament (MCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL runs diagonally in the middle of the knee, preventing the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, as well as providing rotational stability to the knee. The ACL provides…

contact surface that strikes the ball. The tibia and tarsals form your ankle joint, which must stay slightly flexed but rigid when you kick so that no power is lost. Your knee joint, consisting of the tibia and femur, extends as your thigh muscles contract and your hip, which is made up of your femur and ilium, swings forward in a movement called hip flexion. Muscles of the Lower Leg: The primary muscles in your lower leg used in kicking a football are on opposite sides of your tibia, or shin…

Apart from Craig Lowndes' 6th Bathurst win, Chaz Mostert's Friday Qualifying crash was the most talked about part of last weekends Bathurst 1000. Mostert's car acted like a pinball bouncing between walls at high speed on Friday's Qualifying session. Mostert clipped the wall at turn 16 through the esses and his Pepsi Max Falcon was then launched into the adjacent wall at high speed. The PRA Ford then bounced to the other side of the track again when it launched into the air collecting the…

If we move the patella, or the kneecap over, we can see the inside of the knee and as we open up the knee, we can see the thigh bone, or the femur, and this is the bottom portion of the femur and the upper portion of the tibia, or the shinbone. The ACL connects the front aspect of the tibia to the back aspect of the thigh bone, or the femur. It runs in the front of the knee and crosses in front of the PCL, or the posterior cruciate ligament. That’s why they’re called cruciate ligaments,…

medical leave. She had breast cancer in 2012 that resulted in a double mastectomy. Most recently, Mrs Santiago was having pain in her right leg. The doctors later found that the cancer metastasized and formed a tumor on her femur. The tumor weakened her leg and caused her femur to break. She had surgery in May and is currently only 50% weight bearing on her right leg. She uses a walker for short distances. Caregivers need to help Mrs. Santiago at all times with transfers and monitor her…

broader ilium also pulls the hip joint closer to the sacrum which gives better balance. Like the humans, the Au. afarensis had angled femur that places the foot under the center of gravity. The femur of chimpanzees on the other hand are straight down. The patellar groove on the Au. afarensis was found to be deeper to avoid the patella dislocating outwards. The end of the femur and the tip of the tibia was also enlarged to bear more weight. The hallux of the Au. afarensis had extended in line…

what is the reason of the T-rex dying and what is the sex of the T-rex. To find out this two questions they tried many different experiments and showed many modern days’ equipment to calculate the rings around the dinosaur, X- ray machine to see her femur, butcher knives and long knives to cut T-rex internal organs, CAT scan of brain etc. They found that T-rex was very young when she died because the rings that were surrounded by body was around 20 and T-rex are expected to live longer than 30…
