18
Q

What does the patella articulate with?

A
  • articulates with FEMUR (patellar surface)

- not tibia

19
Q

What is the role of the patella?

A

prevents rubbing of muscle tendon against distal femur

20
Q

which bone is the main weight bearing bone in the leg?

21
Q

What is the fibula mainly used for?

A

muscle attachments

22
Q

Body weight transfer

A
  • vertebral column
  • pelvis
  • tibia
  • talus
  • calcaneus
23
Q

function of glenoid cavity of the scapula?

A

articulates w/ humerus to form glenohumeral joint

24
Q

what part of the scapula forms the bony tip of the shoulder?

A

acromion of the scapula

25
which bones does the clavicle articulate with?
- manubrium (sternum, medially) | - acromion (scapula, laterally)
26
what bone of the humerus articulates with what bone of the ulna?
trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna
27
what bone of the humerus articulates with what bone of the radius?
capitulum (humerus) articulates with the head of the radius
28
what are the two articulations on the humerus that form a joint, and what joint?
trochlea and capitulum join with the ulna and radius to form the elbow joint
29
what does the head of the humerus articulate with?
glenoid cavity - forms glenohumeral joint
30
What bone of the femur articulates with what bone of the coxal bone?
head of the femur articulates with the acetablum of the coxal bone
31
the proximal end of the tibia articulates with which bones of the femur?
medial and lateral condyles of the tibia articulate with the medial and later condyles of the femur
32
what bone makes the bony bump on the medial side of the ankle?
medial malleolus of the tibia
33
what bone makes the bony bump of the lateral side of the ankle?
lateral malleolus of the fibula
34
what bone of the foot forms a joint with the tibia? what is the joint?
the talus of the foot (tarsals) articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint
