osteology – lower extremity

[qdeck]

[q]

Define Fovea[a]This is a slight depression on the head of the femur.

[q]

What is the pubic angle of a female?[a]A pubic angle of greater than 90 degrees is found on a female.

[q]

Define Greater Trochanter[a]This is a very large bulge at the lateral aspect of the proximal shaft of the femur.

[q]

Define Lesser Trochanter[a]This is a medial and posterior, smaller bump across from the greater trochanter.

[q]

Define Linea Aspera[a]This is a rough line all along posterior shaft of the femur with many muscle attachments.

[q]

Define Femoral Condyles[a]These are huge, rounded processes which articulate with the TIBIA to form part of the knee joint.

[q]

Define Patellar Surface[a]This is an anterior space between the condyles of the femur. The PATELLA rides along this groove and rests in it.

[q]

Define Intercondylar Notch[a]This is a posterior and inferior notch between the two condyles.

[q]

Define Popliteal Surface or Space[a]This is a triangular space on the posterior, distal femur formed by the supracondylar lines.

[q]

Define Adductor Tubercle[a]This is a small bump on the superior edge of medial epicondyle of the femur.

[q]

Define Medial/Lateral Condyles of Tibia[a]These are the two flat condyles which articulate with medial/lateral condyles of femur to form part of the TIBIOFEMORAL JOINT (knee).

[q]

Define Intercondylar Eminence[a]This is a peg-like projections of the tibia that fits into the intercondylar notch of the femur.

[q]

Define Tibial Tuberosity[a]This is a large, prominent bump on anterior, proximal shaft of the tibia.

[q]

Define Tibial Crest[a]This is a sharp edge on the anterior shaft of the tibia.

[q]

Define Medial Malleolus[a]This is the medial “ankle bone. Part of the tibia.

[q]

Define Soleal Line[a]This is a rough oblique line on posterior, proximal shaft of the tibia.

[q]

Define PATELLA[a]This is a sesamoid bone that everyone has.

[q]

Define Meniscus[a]These are the semilunar cartilages.

[q]

Define Anterior and Posterior Cruciate Ligaments[a]These are intracapsular ligaments of the knee.

[q]

Define FIBULA[a] the lateral leg bone.

[q]

Define Lateral Malleolus[a] lateral “ankle bone”, part of the fibula.

[q]

Define Interosseous Membrane[a]This membrane lies between the tibia and fibula.

[q]

Define Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis[a]This is the amphiarthrotic joint where ligaments bind the distal ends of the tibia and fibula.

[q]

Which group of 7 bones is in the foot?[a] tarsals

[q]

This group of 14 bones is in the foot?[a]phalanges

[q]

Define Talus[a]This is the most proximal tarsal.

[q]

Define Calcaneous[a]This is the most posterior and largest of the tarsals … heelbone.

[q]

Define Navicular[a]This bone is anterior to the talus on the medial aspect of the foot.

[q]

Define Cuneiforms[a]These are the three small bones anterior to the navicular numbered I, II, III (medial, intermediate, and lateral).

[q]

Define Cuboid[a]This is the tarsal lateral to cuneiforms and anterior to calcaneus.
