11. The Thigh :) Flashcards
What forms the linea aspera?
Linea aspera: gluteal tuberosity+pectineal line
Identify the following bones (colored) of the lower body.
blue: femur
green: patella
purple: tibia (more medial)
orange: fibula (more lateral)
What is the patella?
sesamoid bone: loose sitting in tendon
Which bone does all the weight bearing: tibia or fibula?
tibia
Identify the structures on the ANTERIOR aspect of the femur.
a) medial epicondyle
b) lateral epicondyle
RED DOT near medial epicondyle: adductor tubercle
Identify the following parts of the POSTERIOR aspect of the femur.
a) medial condyle
b) lateral condyle
c) linea aspera
d) lateral supracondylar ridge
e) medial supracondylar ridge
What is found between the tibia and fibula?
interosseus membrane: distribute force and weight to fibula
Idenitfy the following parts of the ANTERIOR aspect of the tibia.
top: medial condyle
middle: lateral condyle
bottom: tuberosity
Identify the various structures of the ANTERIOR aspect of the fibula and tibia.
What is found on the superior view of the tibia?
medial and lateral plateau that articulates with femur
Name the different posterior thigh muscles. Whats another name for this group.
Posterior thigh muscle=hamstring muscles
