Exam 2: Lower Limb lecture ii Flashcards
tibia: lateral and medial condyles articulate w/
femoral condyles
tibia: intercondylar tubercles paired extensions that form the _
intercondylar eminence
tibia: the intercondylar eminence, which in turn separates the two _ surfaces
the two articular surfaces
tibia: intercondylar tubercles - the tubercles (and areas near them) provide attachment for the _ and _ ligaments of the knee
menisci and major ligaments of the knee
tibia: the sharp _ border and the _ surface form the “shin”
sharp anterior border and medial (anteromedial) surface
tibia: tibial tuberosity attachment point for _ ligament
patellar ligament
tibia: fibular articular facet (anterolateral/posterolateral?); articulates with
posterolateral; articulates w/ head of the fibula
tibia: medial malleolus extends _ to the rest of the shaft; provides attachment for _ joint ligaments; its lateral surface articulates w/ the _
extends inferior
for ankle joint ligaments
the talus
tibia: interosseous border attaches _ that unites tibia and fibula
interosseous membrane
tibia: soleal line attachment of
soleus
tibia: nutrient foramen; these are also present on other bones, passageway for a _ supplying bone tissue
blood vessel
fibula: tibiofibular syndesmosis joint attaches fibula to _ and includes the _
tibia and includes interosseous membrane
fibula: head of fibula articulates w/
tibia
fibula: shaft of fibula site of attachment for
many muscles
fibula: lateral malleolus provides attachment for _ and articulates w/ _
attachment for ankle joint ligaments and articulates w/ talus
what are the bones that make up the tarsus (7)
- talus
- calcaneus
- navicular
- cuboid
- medial (1st) cuneiform
- intermediate (2nd) cuneiform
- lateral (3rd) cuneiform
only the _ articulates with leg bones
talus
the _ transfers some weight to the calcaneus, and some to the forefoot via a “hammock” that is suspended across a gap btwn a shelf-like projection of the calcaneus (the sustentaculum tali) and the navicular bone
this “hammock” is formed from the _
talus, formed from the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
calcaneus: transmits the majority of the body’s weight from the _ to the _
talus to the ground
