Femur

The lateral malleolus is found on the

Fibula

The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs and their supporting bones, or

Girdles

Another name for the first toe is

Hallux

Because of a development defect, Joe is born without clavicles. As a result of this condition you would expect

Him to have a increased range of motion at the shoulder joint

Styloid process

When standing normally, most of your weight is transmitted to the ground by the

Talus and calcaneus

Why is it necessary for the bones of the pelvic girdle to be more massive than the bones of the pectoral girdle?

They need to be more massive because they're holding much more weight than that of the pectoral girdle. They are holding their weight as well as the weight of everything above them.
