Sacrum/Femur/Tibia & Fibula/Ribs

Four parts of the femur

Head Greater trochanter Lesser trochanter Lower extremity

sasamoid bones

1. Tarsals (heel and ankle) 2. Metatarsals (middle of the foot) 3. Phalanges (bones of the bones)

posterior end

All of the ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae at their ______ ___

walking and standing

Main two functions of the foot is:

the sacrum

Sometimes referred to as S1

shaft

The ________ of the femur is fairly cylindrical and bowelled with forward convexity

talus

The bone which articulates with the tibia and fibula is the ______

thigh bone

The femur also known as the ____ ____ is the longest bone of the human skeleton

tibia

The femur articulates with the _____

synovial joint

The fibula is connected by a ____ _____ to the other shin bone of the tibia.

tibiofemeral joint

The knee joint medically known as the "_________" is the largest joint in the body

long bones

The lower leg bones are called _________

form a hinge joint

The main job of the tibia is to _______________ with the femur which allows you to run, kick, etc

Sartorius, Quadriceps

The muscles in the front of the thigh are the:

the central sacrum and the coccyx

The pelvis made up of the bowl shaped hip bones _______ & ________

extensor

The quadriceps femorisis an ______ muscle of the knee joint

tarsus, calcaneus

The seven bones of the _____ make up the posterior section of the foot, with the ______ forming the heel- which is called the heel

27

The skeleton of the foot is made up of ___ bones including the sasamoids and can be divided into three sections

midline of the chest

The sternum is divided into three sections located at the:

Anterior ligament, Posterior ligament, and Inferior transverse ligament

The three ligaments to the tibia and fibula are:

Medial collateral, Lateral collateral, Anterior cruciate, and Posterior cruciate

There are four ligaments present at the knee joint

because it supports the body

Why is this bone one of the strongest bones in the skeletal system?

The fibula

____ ______ is what makes your outer ankle

The tibia

____ _______ is what makes your inner ankle bone.

The distal end

________ of the tibia makes up much of the ankle bone

The femur

also called the upper leg bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the body

The tarsals

ankle bones

Hallux

big toe

The cuboids and the cuneiform

bones articulating with five metatarsals

Ankle

deltoid ligament

The fibula

forms as the lateral part of the ankle joint preventing dislocations in that direction

The fibula

is a much more slender bone than the tibia and occupies a lateral position in the lower leg.

The tibia

is also called the shin bone and shank bone could be stronger and also the larger bone of the lower leg, compared to the fibula

the sternum

is inclined downwards and a little forward.

The tibia

is the medial and strongest bone of the lower leg and is the second largest bone of the human skeleton

The tibia

is the stronger of the two bones

The tibia

known as the skin bone

the fibular

known as the smallest of the bone of the lower leg.

coccyx

known as the tail bone

The femur

located between the hip bone and the knee

Muscles

long flexor and extensor

The foot

metatarsals

Abduction

move away from the body

Adduction

move toward the body

media malleous

the tibia has distal projection on its medial side called the_____ ______

Rib shafts

these are elastic and fragile

Hamstring muscles

very powerful muscles (biceps femoris) also flexor muscles and flexes the knee joint.
