ACTIVITY 9 Synovial Joints Examining the Structure of Synovial Joints The hip joint is designed for stability, because it in the Lower Limb supports and transmits all of the weighe On a model of the hip joint, idenety the weight of the upper body the hip joint anterlor inferior illac Distally, it is attached to the femur at the Identify another antericr ligamens, the Proximally, this structure is attached to the pubic part ofte acetabular rim. It travels portion of the lesser trochanter Anterior vlew Locate the ischiofemoral ligament which reinforces the posterior aspect of the joint. Its attachments include the ischil portion of the acetabular rim and the neck of the femur, medial to the base of the greater trochanter Lesser 0 inalde the hip joint, a fat pad rests along the floor of the acetabular labrum, forms an incomplete ring around the structures lschial tuberosity Posterior view periphery What do you think is the function of these On a skeleton, identify the acetabular notch, a small gup along the inferior margin of the acetabulum. The transverse acetabu lar ligament stretches across the acetabular notch Fat pad The ligament of the femoral head extends from the transverse acetabular ligament to the fovea capitis, a small depression on the femoral head. Speculate on the function of this ligament Lateral view
