Answer: femoral

Flashcard 6: Injury to the _____ nerve presents as loss of sensation on the dorsum of the foot and foot drop (motor).

Answer: common peroneal

Flashcard 7: The structure marked is the _____ ligament.

Answer: lacunar

Flashcard 8: What are the four primary ligaments of the knee joint?

Answer: 1. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) 2. Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) 3. Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) 4. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
