Lessons 8-9 Flashcards
Pelvic Girdle
immobile, weight-bearing foundation for the upper body
hip bones
pair of large, curved bones that form the lateral and anterior parts of the pelvis
the hip bones are made of what three fused bones
ilium, ischium, and pubis
when in life do the hip bones fuse?
late teenage years
illium
large fan-like superior region connected to the sacrum by the sacroiliac joint
iliac crest
arching superior margin of the ilium along the waistline
iliac fossa
shallow depression at the internal surface of the upper ilium
greater sciatic
large inverted u-shaped indention on the posterior margin of the lower ilium
ischium
posteroinferior region of the hip
the ischium supports
the sitting body
ischial tuberosity
large, rough area of the inferior ischium that is the attachment for posterior muscle
ischial ramus
superior and anterior segment above the ischial tuberosity
ischial spine
bony projection separating the sciatic notches
pubis
anterior portion which curves medially to join the opposite pubis at the pubic symphysis joint
pubic body
large medial portion of the pubis
femur
single bone of the thigh bone
the longest and straightest bone in the body is the
femur
head of the femur
round, proximal end that articulates with the acetabulum
fovea capitis
indentation on the medial side of the femoral head where ligaments attach
neck of the femur
narrow region below the head
greater trochanter
large, upward, bony projection at the base of the neck of the femur
lesser trochanter
small, bony prominence on the medial side of the femur
gluteal tuberosity
roughened area extending from the greater trochanter
linea aspera
meets the gluteal tuberosity on the distal posterior side
lateral condyle
smooth portion that covers the distal and posterior parts of the lateral expansion
lateral epicondyle
roughened area on the lateral, outer side of the lateral condyle
medial condyle
smooth portion that covers the distal and posterior part of the medial expansion
medial epicondyle
roughened area on the medial outer side of the medial condyle
adductor tubercle
small bump on the superior margin of the medial epicondyle
intercondylar fossa
deep depression that separates the condyles posteriorly
patellar surface
smooth surface and wide groove where the condyles meet anteriorly
patella
kneecap
what is the largest sesamoid bone in the body
patella
tibia
shin bone that is the medial, weight-bearing bone of the lower leg
medial and lateral condyle
formed by the expanded proximal ends of the tibia
intercondylar eminence
irregular, elevated area at the proximal end of the tibia that is the attachment point for knee ligaments
tibial tuberosity
elevated area on the anterior side of the tibia near the proximal end
interosseous border
small ridge on the lateral side of the shaft that is the attachment site for the interosseous membrane
interosseous membrane
dense connective tissue that connects the tibia and fibula
medial malleolus
large expansion on the medial side of the distal tibia
fibular notch
wide groove on the distal tibia that articulates with the fibula
the articulation of the fibula and tibia forms the
tibiofibular joint
fibula
slender bone on the lateral lower leg that doesn’t bear weight
the fibula functions to
attach muscles
lateral malleolus
bony bump on the lateral side of the ankle
tarsal bones
form the posterior half of the foot
talus
square-shaped, upper surface that articulates with the tibia and fibula at the ankle joint
calcaneus
the heel
cuboidal bone
articulates with the anterior end of the calcaneus bone
navicular bone
articulates posteriorly with the talus
cuneiform bones
wedge shaped bones that articulate anteriorly with the navicular bone
cuneiform bones
medial, intermediate, and lateral
cuneiform bone shape
broad superior surface and narrow inferior surface
metatarsal bone forms
anterior half of the foot
the metatarsals form the
ball of the foot
phalanges
toes
each toe, except the big, has ___ phalanges, called the ___
three, proximal, medial, distal phalanges
hallux
big toe
interphalangeal joint
joint between adjacent phalanges
muscles that act on the hip and femur originate
on the pelvic girdle and gluteus maximus
iliopsoas primary action
flexes and laterally rotate the thigh and flex the torso
iliopsoas origin
psoas: vertebrae
iliacus: lilac and sacrum
iliopsoas insertion
lesser trochanter
iliopsoas innervation
femoral nerve
gluteus maximus primary action
extend thigh
gluteus maximus origin
dorsal ilium, sacrum, coccyxx
gluteus maximus insertion
gluteal tuberosity of femur
gluteus maximus innervation
inferior gluteal nerve
gluteus medius primary action
abduct thigh
gluteus medius origin
ilium
gluteus medius insertion
greater trochanter of femur
gluteus medius innervation
superior gluteal nerve
gluteus minimus
adduct thigh
gluteus minimus origin
ilium
gluteus minimus insertion
superior gluteal nerve
tensor fascia latae primary action
flex and abduct thigh
tensor fascia latae origin
iliac crest and spine
