- Articulates with 5th lumbar vertebra (L5)
3
Q
Lumbar Vertebrae
A
- 5 vertebrae
- Support body weight
- ALL have large bodies and rectangular spinous processes
4
Q
Body (lumbar)
A
- Large kidney shape
- Wider from side to side than from front to back
- Slightly thicker in front than back
- Slightly concave
5
Q
Lamina (lumbar)
A
- Thin, bony plate
- Shields or protects access to the spinal canal
6
Q
Pedicle (lumbar)
A
- Connects the lamina to the vertebral body
- Are very strong
- Directed backwards from the upper part of the vertebral body
7
Q
Spinous Process (lumbar)
A
- Blunt and rectangular (for the attachment of strong lumbar muscles)
- Projects backward and downward (as do all)
8
Q
Transverse Process (lumbar)
A
- Long and slender
- Change in morphology from L1-L3 to L4-L5
9
Q
Vertebral Foramen (lumbar)
A
- Triangular hole within the arch
- Larger than that of thoracic, smaller than that of cervical
10
Q
Os Coxae
A
- Hip bone (one side of pelvic girdle)
- Consists of allium, ischium and pubis
11
Q
Acetabulum
A
- Joint in pelvic girdle
- Articulates with head of femur
- All 3 bones of Os Coxa join here
12
Q
Illiac Crest
A
- Is the Illium’s superior border
13
Q
Illium
A
- Os coxa
- Articulates with sacrum
- Largest of 3 bones that make up the pelvis
14
Q
Ischial Tuberosity
A
- Lower part of pelvis
- aka Sit bones (bony butt)
15
Q
Ischium
A
- Paired bone of os coxa
- ^Most inferior part
- Forms lower and back part of hip bone
- Articulates with illium and pubis
16
Q
Obturator Foramen
A
- Large opening in the Os Coxa (hipbone) between the pubis and the ischium
17
Q
Pubis
A
- 1 of 3 bones of pelvic bone
- Most forward-facing bone of pelvic bone
- Left and right joined by pubic symphysis
18
Q
Pelvic Brim (inlet)
A
- Pelvic Girdle
- Top of cylinder; view from above
19
Q
Pelvic Outlet
A
- Pelvic Girdle
- Bottom of cylinder; view from underneath
20
Q
Pubic Arch
A
- Pelvic Girdle
- Anterior triangle of the pelvic outlet
21
Q
Pubic Symphysis
A
- Cartilaginous Joint that attaches left and right pelvic bone
- Helps pelvis absorb some of the weight from the upper body as it travels to the lower body
- Amphiathrotic; allows expansion during childbirth
22
Q
Sacroiliac Joint
A
- Pelvic Girdle
- Joint between Sacrum + Illium
- Plane/gliding synovial joint (flat surface)

A
- Long bone of the thighs/upper hind limb
- Left vs right: Lateral/medial condyles (posterior) and Head (medial)
- Ball & socket joint with acetabulum (hip)
- Distally, articulates with condyles of tibia
25
Q
Tibia
A
- Medial bone of the shin
- Larger and stronger than Fibula
- aka Shinbone
26
Q
Fibula
A
- Lateral bone of the shin
- Smaller than Tibia
27
Q
Metatarsals
A
- 5 within the foot (sole)
- Connect ankle to toes
- Help you balance when you stand and walk
28
Q

31
Q
Lateral Condyle
A
- 1 of 2 projections on the lower extremity of femur
- More prominent and broader than the medial condyle
- Articulates with proximal part of tibia (tibial lateral condyle)
