chapter 7 the upper limb Flashcards
body weight is transferred from the vertebral column through the ___________ to the pelvic girdle through the hip joints to the femur.
sacro-iliac joints
what is the notable difference of the femurs in females and males?
femurs of a female are slightly more oblique than those of males, leading to wider hips
at the knee, the distal end of each femur articulates with the _____ and ______ of the corresponding leg.
patella and tibia
the ____ does not articulate with the femur and does not transfer weight
fibula
at the ankle, the weight borne by the tibia is transferred to the _______
talus
what three bones fuse to form the hip bone?
ilium, ischium, pubis
the _____ is a large oval opening in the hip bone that is bounded by the pubis and the ischium and their rami
obturator foramen
the large cup shaped cavity (socket) in which the lateral aspect of the hip bone that articulates with head of the femur to form the hip joint
acetabulum
the _____ ______ of the femur give tendinous attachment to the primary flexor of the thigh (the iliopsoas)
lesser trochanter
the ____ _____ of the femur joins the femoral shaft providing attachment and leverage for abductors and rotators of the thigh
greater trochanter
the femoral condyles are located on the posterior end of the femur and articulate with the ______ to form the knee joint
tibial condyles
what ligament is attached to the ischial spine of the pelvis?
sacrospinous ligament
what ligament is attached to the ischial tuberosity of the hip bone?
sacrotuberous
what ligament is attached to the ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine)?
inguinal ligament
the ____ _____ of the tibia consists of two smooth articular surfaces that articulate with the large condyles of the femur
tibial plateau
the ____ _____ of the tibia provides distal attachment of the patellar ligament, which stretches between the inferior margin of the patella and the tibial tuberosity
tibial tuberosity
what are the bones of the foot?
tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges
the deep fascia of the thigh
fascia lata
what are the main muscles of the anterior thigh?
quadriceps femoris (rectus femoris, vastus lasteralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius)
what is the proximal attachment of the rectus femoris muscle?
anterior inferior iliac spine and ilium superior to acetabulum
what is the proximal attachment of the vastus lateralis?
greater trochanter and lateral lip of linea aspera of femur
what is the proximal attachment of the vastus medialis?
interrochanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera of femur
what is the proximal attachment of the vastus intermedius?
anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur
what is the common distal attachment of the quadriceps femoris muscles
quadriceps tendon and attachments to the base of patella
