Lower Extremity - AP
in the normal adult, the angle formed by the neck and shaft of the femur is about
120 degrees
The total number of phalanges in the normal adult foot is
14
the head of the femur articulates with a cupshaped socket on the lateral surface of the pelvis called the
acetabulum
the navicular (scaphoid) bone of the foot is located: 1. anterior to the talus 2. posterior to the cuneiforms 3. superior to the cuboid
anterior to the talus and posterior to the cuneiforms
what type of joint is the hip
ball and socket
the cuneiform bones articulate anteriorly with the
base of the metatarsals
the cuboid bone of the foot articulates posteriorly with the
calcaneus
the largest bone in the normal adult foot is called the
calcaneus
what type of joint is the pubic symphysis
cartilaginous
what type of joint is the metatarsophalangeal joint
condylar
the large, smooth articulating surfaces located on the distal femur are termed the
femoral condyles
the smooth, upper surfaces of the proximal tibia (plateau) serves as the articulating surface for the
femoral condyles
the largest and strongest bone of the appendicular skeletal system is the
femur
the knee joint is formed by the articulation of the ___ bones
femur and tibia
what type of joint is the inferior tibiofibular joint
fibrous
the protuberance that is felt on the lateral surface of the lower leg distal to the knee joint is the
fibular head
what type of joint is the femoral patellar
gliding
what type of joint is the intertarsal
gliding
what type of joint is the sacroiliac
gliding
what type of joint is the superior tibiofibular joint
gliding
what type of joint is the tarsometatarsal
gliding
the large body ridges of the proximal femur that serve to attach many of the muscles for moving of the hip are called the
greater and lesser trochanters
the deep notch located on the posterior margin of the innominate bone between the posterior inferior iliac spine and the ischial spine is called the
greater sciatic notch
what type of joint is the ankle
hinge
what type of joint is the interphalangeal joint
hinge
what type of joint is the knee
hinge
the majority of the greater or false pelvis is formed by all or part of the
ilium
during development, the pelvis consists of 6 separate bones that fuse during childhood. These paired bones are the
ilium, ischium, pubis
the acetabulum is composed by part of the
ilium, ischium, pubis
the two large bones that help to form the majority of the adult pelvis are termed the
innominate bones
the rounded condyles of the femur are separated by a deep depression termed the
intercondylar fossa
the most superior portion of the tibia (tibial eminence) projects upwards from the plateau into the
intercondylar space
in the normal sitting position, most of the weight of the trunk is supported by the ___ of the pelvis
ischial tuberosity
the obturator foramen of the pelvis is formed by the junction of the following bones: 1. ilium 2. ischium 3. pubis
ischium and pubis
the pointed, bony prominence located on the distal fibula is called the
lateral malleolus
located on the posterior surface of the femur is a prominent ridge of bone serving for the attachment of many of the muscles of the lower extremity. This process is called the
linea aspera
fallen arches (flat feet) is often due to weakening of the ligaments in the feet and results in the loss of the ___ arch
longitudinal
the expanded portion of the proximal end of the fibula (fibular head) articulates with the tibia at the
proximal lateral surface
the two small, rounded bones that are found on the plantar surface of the first metatarsophalangeal joint to help reduce friction are termed
sesamoid bones
the astragulus (talus) bone of the foot is normally located ___ to the calcaneus (os calsis)
superior
the base of the patella is found on the ___ surface of the bone
superior
the junction of the two innominate bones at the anteroinferior margin is termed the
symphysis pubis
the ankle joint is formed by all or part of the: 1. talus bone 2. tibia 3. fibula
talus bone, tibia, and fibula
the larger and more medial bone of the lower leg is the
tibia
the tendon of the quadraceps femoris attaches on the anterior surface of a raised process of the proximal tibia called the
tibial tuberosity
when compared to the male pelvis, the female pelvis is characterized by a
wider transverse diameter larger pelvic outlet larger pubic arch
