Phalanges

40
Q

Pelvic girdle

A

Is strong and bears body weight and stress of movement

41
Q

Pelvic bone made up of

A

2 hipbones (ossa coxae)

42
Q

Ossa coxae

A

Are made up of 3 fused bones

43
Q

Ossa coxae 3fused bones

A

Ilium- articulates with sacrum
Ischium
Pubis

44
Q

Ossa coxae articulations

A

Joined to the vertebral column at the sacroiliac joint

Acetabulum is the hip socket

45
Q

Ilium

A

Allows for muscle attachment

47
Q

Ilium

Greater sciatic notch

A

Pathway for sciatic nerve

48
Q

Ischium

A

Ischial tuberosity

Posterior projection you sit on

49
Q

Pubis

A

Smallest of the hipbones

50
Q

Pubic symphysis

A

Gap between pubic tubercles padded with ffibrocartlage

51
Q

Pelvis

A

Consists of 2 ossa coxae, the sacrum, and the coccyx stabilized by ligaments of pelvic girdle, sacrum, and lumbar vertebrae

52
Q

2 parts of the pelvis

A

True pelvis
Encloses pelvic cavity

False pelvis
Blades of ilium above arcuate line

53
Q

Pelvic girdle and the pelvis

A

Are not the same anatomic structures

54
Q

Male pelvis

A

-heavier with upper pelvis nearly vertical
Prominent muscle and ligament attachment sites
-pelvic inlet heart shaped
-narrow and deep pubic arch 90degrees

55
Q

Female pelvis

A

-smoother and lighter
Less prominent muscle and ligament attachments
-wide pubic inlet and out let that is round or oval
-broad pubic arch 120 degrees
-ilia project laterally not upwards
-less curvature of sacrum and coccyx

56
Q

Forensic study of skeleton

A
  • muscle strength and mass bone ridges, bone mass
  • medical history condition of teeth healed fractures
  • sex and age bone measurements

A

The largest of the leg bones and is weight bearing;medial to fibula

Head -(proximal epiphysis) medial and lateral tibial condyles

Shaft -anterior crest for muscle attachment

Distal epiphysis -medial malleous (medial ankle)

67
Q

Fibula

A

Stabilizes the ankle and attaches muscle of the feet and toes

68
Q

Interosseous membrane bind fibula to

A

Tibia and is identical to intros serous membrane of radius and ulna

69
Q

Tarsus means

A

Ankle

70
Q

Tarsal bones

A

Ae shaped and arranged differently from carpal bones due to load bearing role of the ankle

71
Q

Important tarsus bones

A

Talus

Calcaneus

72
Q

Talus

A

Most superior tarsal bone that forms ankle joint with tibia and fibula

Sits upon calcaneus

73
Q

Calcaneus

A

Forms heel and transfers weights to ground

Achilles’ tendon of gastrocnemius attaches here

74
Q

Foot

A

Bones of the foot are similar in name and arrangement to the hand

75
