Ch 7 pT 5 Flashcards
what does the femur articulate with?
acetabulum proximally and tibia and patella distally
Patella
sesamoid bone in quadriceps tendon
Tibia
Large bone of lower leg; proximally medial condyle and medial mallaeus distally (big toe side)
Fibula
not weight bearing, smaller. Proximally lateral condyle, distal side lateral mallaeus (small toe side)
What does the fibula articulate with
the tibia both proximally and distally
Ankle bones
7 tarsals in each foot; are: medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, navicular, cuboid, talus, and calcaneus.
calcaneus
Largest of the tarsals, the heel bone.
What bone articulates with the tibia and fibula?
Talus
what does the fibula articulate with?
Talus and Tibia
Navicular
Shaped like a boat
cuboid
shaped like a cube
Cuneiform
shaped like candy corn
Arches in feet
3; lateral longitudinal, medial longitudinal, and transverse. Maintained by interlocking foot bones, ligaments and tendons. They allow foot to bear weight
Infant Skull
Has more bones then the adult skull; mandible and frontal bones are unfused; skull bones connected by fontanels
Fontanels
“Soft Spots” unossified remnants of fibrous membranes; allow for ease of birth and allow brain growth; 4 fontanels: anterior, posterior, mastoid and sphenoidal
