- 7. structure that attaches the patella to the tibial tuberosity
- 9. the ligament that connects the tibia to the femur at the center of the knee
- 13. one of the hamstring muscles that lie medial
- 15. these muscles allow knee extension
- 16. muscles group of muscles located on the back of the thighs
- 17. ligament that runs down to the inside of the knee

- 12. quadricep muscle that is most medial
- 14. this type of stress happens when the knee moves medially
