Your X-ray exam reveals that you have fractured your fibula. Your physician remarks, "Well, it's better than breaking your tibia." Explain why a fracture of the tibia would be worse than a fracture of the fibula.

the fibula provides lateral support and stability for the fibula but it does not play a large role in weight bearing, as does the tibia

the radial head of the radius and the radial notch on the ulna

medial condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna

trochlea

Pectoral:

-flexibility most important -lightweight -insecure axial and limb attachments

Pelvic:

-massive -secure axial and limb attachments -weight-bearing most important

opening in hip bone formed by the pubic and ischial rami

-obturator foramen -gluteal tuberosity

Describe some of the features of the female pelvis that provide for compatibility with vaginal birth.

-the female pelvis is titled forward, adopted for childbearing -the cavity of the true pelvis is broad, shallow, and has a greater capacity to allow for the passage of the child through the pelvic outlet

26

Illium

A broad, flared bone that makes up the upper and lateral sections of the pelvis.
