As the inferior lateral genicular artery proceeds anterior having crossed the posterior surface of the popliteus muscle, it crosses the medial (deep) surface of the (blank) ligament and the lateral surface of the (blank) meniscus and the medial surface (deep) of the blank tract.
The center of gravity, when standing, is (blank) to the hip joint, (blank) to the knee joint, and (blank) to the ankle joint. Minimal muscle activity is required at the hip largely due to support provided by the (blank) ligament. Minimal muscle activity is required at the knee because of the "screw home" mechanism that brings the joint into a "close packed" position due to a (blank) rotation of the (blank) condyles on the (blank) plateau. Considerable muscle activity is required across the ankle joint and is provided by the (blank) muscles.
The lateral plantar arthery crosses the sole of the foot starting medial to lateral: 1) (blank) to abductor hallucis, (blank) to flexor hallucis brevis, and (blank) to quadratus plantae.
