24
Q

list the three fetal bones that make up the acetabulum

A

Ilium-superior
Ischium-inferior, posterior
Pubis-inferior, anterior

25
Q

Name our largest sesamoid bone

26
Q

Sesamoid bone

A

-bone formed in tendon

27
Q

name the bones of the pelvic girdle

A
  • Coxal bone
  • -ilium, ischium pubis fused
  • sacroiliac joint- articulated with sacrum (unlike most joints b/c its rough)
  • Iliac crest- most superior edge (hipbone)
  • Ischial Tuberosity- anchor hamstring rough bumpy, sticks out
  • Obturator foramen- sciatic nerve and arteries pass
  • Pubis symphysis-made of fibrocartilage, joining two sides of pelvic bone.
  • Acetabulum- where femur articulates, points laterally, all three parts contribute to this socket
28
Q

Coxal Bone

A

formed by the joining fetal bones the Illium, Ischium, and Pubis bone

29
Q

Illium

A

the most superior bone of the coxal bone

30
Q

Ischium

A

inferior and posterior of the coxal bone

31
Q

Pubis

A

Inferior and anterior of the coxal bone

32
Q

Sacroiliac joint

A

Articulates with the sacrum, posterior. (rough, unlike other joints)

33
Q

Iliac Crest

A

most superior edge (hip bone)

34
Q

Ischial Tuberosity

A

Sticks out, rough and bumpy, anchors hamstring muscle inferior posterior enge

35
Q

Obturator Foramen

A

big hole where arteries and sciatic nerve passes

36
Q

Pubic symphysis

A

connection between R&L fibrocartilge

37
Q

Acetabelum

A

The joint socket that articulates with femur, points laterally

38
Q

Pelivc Appendage

A
  • 30 bones
  • Femur, articulates with acetabulum with the coxal bone, distally articulates with the patella. The condyles articulate with the condyles of the tibia.
  • Patella-sesmoid bone of the knee, articulates only with the femer
  • Tibia- medial bone of the shin(the larger) articulated with the fibula both proximally and distally. Also articulates with the tarsals
  • Fibula-lateral bone- articulates with the tibia and tarsals
  • Tarsals-7- then articulate with metatarsals and phalanges. (including the hallux)
39
Q

Femer

A

Thigh bone
strongest bone in the body
Head- articulates with the acetabulum- proximal, medial
-greater and lesser trochanter- proximal, rough and bumpy for muscle attachment, (only one in body)
-Lateral and medial condyles- smooth and articular, medial side of head
-Lateral and medial epicondyles- bony projection above the knee
-linea aspera- posterior side for muscle attachment

40
Q

Patella

A

Knee cap

articulates with the femur only

41
Q

Tibia

A
  • Medial bone of the leg
  • lateral and medial condyles-proximal end articulates with femur for knee joint
  • Tibial tuberosity- bump on the proximal and anterior for quad muscle attachment
42
Q

Fibula-

A

Lateral bone of the leg-

-lateral malleoulus- the outside ankle bone

43
Q

Tarsal bones

A

7 of them

  • Calcaneous- largest tarsal, heel bone,
  • Talaus- second largest tarsal, articulates with the tibia and fibula
44
Q

Medatarsals

A

5 bones of the foot numbered 1 with the big toe to 5 with the pinkey side

45
Q

Phalanges

A

same as hands 14 bones 2 in toe, called the hallux

46
