Exam 2: Lower Limb lecture i Flashcards
femur: greater trochanter for attachment of _ and _
thigh rotators and abductors
femur: intertrochanteric line, the _ ridge btwn trochanters, for attachment of _ ligament
anterior ridge, iliofemoral ligament
femur: patella surface articulates with
patella
femur: lesser trochanter for attachment of
iliopsoas
femur: intertrochanteric crest, the _ ridge btwn trochanters
posterior
femur: linea aspera: long _ ridge on the shaft, for attachment of _ and _
vertical ridge, attachment of thigh adductors and intermuscular septa
femur: t/f: there exists a sup and inf lips of linea aspera
false: medial and lateral lips of linea aspera
femur: medial and lateral supracondylar lines, the _ divides into these, and they lead to the two femoral _
linea aspera, femoral condyles
femur: medial and lateral condyles articulate with _ meniscus and _ condyle, and with _ meniscus and _ condyle respectively
medial - articulate w/ medial meniscus and medial tibial condyle
lateral - articulate w/ lateral meniscus and lateral tibial condyle
femur: intercondylar fossa: depression separating the condyles _; the _ of the tibia fit into it
posteriorly; the intercondylar tubercles of the tibia fit into it
femur: lateral epicondyle projection from lateral surface of _ condyle, for attachment of _ joint
lateral condyle; lateral collateral ligament of knee joint
femur: medial epicondyle: projection from medial surface of _ condyle, for attachment of _ joint
medial condyle; medial collateral ligament of knee joint
femur: adductor tubercle bump just proximal to _, for attachment of part of _
medial epicondyle; adductor magnus
femur: angle of inclination is an angle btwn the _ and _
btwn the long axis of the neck (and head) and the long axis of the obliquely oriented shaft
why is the angle of inclination (femur) less in females?
bc of the wider lesser pelvis
