QUIZ 4.5 Flashcards
pelvic girdle (pelvis)
components, articulations, surrounding
Components:
1. Pair of coxal bones (L & R)
2. Sacrum
3. Coccyx
ARTICULATIONS:
- Unite anteriorly at a joint called pubic symphysis
- Unite posteriorly at the sacroiliac joint
SURROUNDING:
Superior - abdominal viscera (internal organs)
Inferior - internal genital organs, portions of urinary system
hip bones (coxal)
type of joint, 3 pelvic bone components, what they form
Type of joint: BALL AND SOCKET JOINT
3 PELVIC BONE COMPONENTS:
a. Ilium (posterior)
b. Ischium
c. Pubis (anterior)
*All 3 primary bones forming the hip bone contribute to the formation of the ACETABULUM
ilium

2. Body - inferior part which contains ACETABULUM (socket for femur)
MARKINGS:
1. Iliac crest ⇒ superior border of the ilium
2. Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) ⇒ anterior process (hip pointer)

-
Greater sciatic notch
— passage of nerves & muscles - Acetabulum
acetabulum (socket)
structure, articulation, type of joint
- Large cup-shaped cavity or socket on the lateral aspect of the hip bone
- Articulates w/ head of the femur (ball) to form hip joint
- Type of joint: Ball and socket joint
sacroiliac joint
Connection bet. vertebral column at the sacrum & ilium of pelvis
ischium
position, 2 main parts, 3 markings
Inferior posterior portion of the hip bone
PARTS:
1. Body (superior) ⇒ helps form the acetabulum
2. Ramus (inferior) ⇒ forms part of the obturator foramen (passage for nerves & BVs)
OTHER MARKINGS:
3. Ischial spine
4. Lesser sciatic notch
5. Ischial tuberosity (aka sit bones)
— Large posterior inferior of the ischium
pubis
aka, location, 3 parts, articulation
- aka pubic bone
- Location: anterior inferior part of the hip bone
PARTS:
1. Superior (pubic) ramus
2. Body
3. Inferior (pubic) ramus
ARTICULATION:
- Pubic symphysis
— Joint bet. the 2 pubes of the hip bone
— Fibrocartilage
— RELAXIN ⇒ hormone that increases the flexibility of the pubic symphysis to ease delivery of baby
sex differences of the pubis
- general structure
- F: light & thin
- M: heavy & thick - false (greater) pelvis
- F: shallow
- M: deep - pelvic brim (inlet)
- F: wide + more oval
- M: narrow + heart-shaped - acetabulum
- F: small & faces anteriorly
- M: large & faces laterally - obturator foramen
- F: oval
- M: round - pubic arch
- F: >90º
- M: <90º
femur
aka, type of bone, fun fact, connected to___
- Aka thigh bone
- Long bone
- Longest, heaviest, strongest bone
- Connected to acetabulum of hip bone
articulations of the femur
- Hip (coxal) joint - proximal
- Patellofemoral joint - distal end
- Tibiofemoral joint - distal end
12 markings of the femur
extra info for 1-4, 7-10
- Femoral head
- Neck
- Greater trochanter
- Lesser trochanter
- Intertrochanteric line
- Body / shaft
- Medial & lateral epicondyles
- Medial & lateral condyles
- Patellar surface
- Gluteal tuberosity (posterior)
- Linea aspera (posterior)
- Intertrochanteric crest (posterior)
EXTRA INFO
1 Femoral head
— Articulates w/ acetabulum
— Has a small depression / dimple (fovea capitis)
— F: has ligament connecting head of the femur to the acetabulum
2 Femoral neck
— Constructed region distal to the head
— Fracture ⇒ referred to as “broken hip”
3-4 Greater & lesser trochanters
— Projections from the junction of the neck & shaft
— F: attachment points for the tendons of thigh & gluteal muscles
7 Medial & lateral epicondyles
— F: attachment of ligaments of the knee joint
8 Medial & lateral condyles (femur) ⇒ articulates w/ M&L condyles of the tibia
— Forms the tibiofemoral joint
— Intercondyllar notch ⇒ located bet. condyles at the posterior surface
9 Patellar surface ⇒ located bet. condyles at the anterior surface
10 Gluteal tuberosity (posterior)
— Inferior to the intertrochanteric crest
— Blends into the linea aspera (vertical ridge)
— F: insertion point of gluteal muscles
patella (little dish)
aka, type of bone, 4 parts, 3 purposes
- Aka kneecap
- Sesamoid bone of your lower limbs
PARTS:
1. Base ⇒ proximal end
—Develops in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle
2. Apex ⇒ distal end
3. M&L borders
4. M&L articular facets (POSTERIOR)
PURPOSE:
- Increases leverage of the quadriceps tendon
- Maintains position of the tendon during flexed knee
- Protect knee joint
tibia
aka, characteristics, function, 5 markings
- aka shin bone
- Larger, medial, weight bearing bone of the leg
- F: receives weight from femur + transfers to the talus (ankle bone) when standing
MARKINGS:
1. Lateral & medial condyles ⇒ articulates w/ the condyles of femur
— F: forms the tibiofemoral (knee) joints
-
Tibial tuberosity ⇒ anterior surface
— Serves as attachment for patellar ligament - Anterior crest / border (shin) ⇒ sharp ridge inferior to the tibial tuberosity
- Medial malleolus (hammer) ⇒ middle surface of ankle
-
Fibular notch ⇒ posterior projection that articulates w/ fibula
— F: forms distal tibiofibular joint
knee joint
aka, type of joint, 3 articulations, 3 types of ligaments
- aka Tibiofemoral joint ⇒ largest & most complex joint of the body
-
Modified hinge joint
— Has slight rotation
— Full rotation = ACL (HYPEREXTENDED)
3 ARTICULATIONS:
a. Lateral tibiofemoral joint
b. Medial tibiofemoral joint
c. Patellofemoral joint (intermediate joint)
STRUCTURES:
1. meniscus
- cruciate ligaments
- anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - collateral ligaments
a. tibial collateral ligament (TCL)
— aka medial collateral ligament (MCL)
b. fibular collateral ligament (FCL)
— aka lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
collateral ligaments of the knee
characteristics, 2 functions, 2 kinds
- taut when the knee is fully extended
FUNCTION:
1. stability while standing
2. prevents excessive M&L displacement of the joint
— as flexion proceeds, they become increasingly slack, permitting & limiting (serving as check ligaments for) rotation at the knee
PARTS:
1. Tibial collateral ligament (TCL) ⇒ aka medial collateral ligament (MCL)
- Fibular collateral ligament (FCL) ⇒ aka lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
