Question

the back of the knee joint is reinforced by ______ ligaments.
o anterior cruciate
o patellar
o tibial collateral

The posterior cruciate ligament is located at the back of the knee joint and helps to reinforce it by preventing the tibia from moving backward too far relative to the femur. The other ligaments listed have different locations and functions. The anterior cruciate prevents forward displacement, the patellar is related to the kneecap, the tibial collateral is on the inner - side of the knee, and the popliteal is a group of ligaments at the back but not the main reinforcing one like the posterior cruciate.

Answer:

E. posterior cruciate
