Slide1
Lower AppendageSlide2
Femur
Femur
– largest, longest, strongest bone
- articulates with
acetabulum
(proximal) and tibia & patella (distal)
Region from the hip to the knee
Head
– large, smooth, ball-shaped; fits into
acetabulum
Greater & lesser
trochanter
– projections at proximal end; sites for muscle attachment
Lateral & medial
condyle
– two large surfaces on distal endSlide3
Femur
On posterior view, the
gluteal
tuberosity
and the
linea
aspera
both serve as
attachement
sites for the tendons of the thigh muscles.Slide4
Patella
Kneecap
Anchors the anterior thigh muscle to the tibia
Base
– broad, superior end
Apex
– pointed, inferior endSlide5
Fibula
Slender bone on lateral side
Head
– on proximal end
Lateral
malleolus
– projection at the distal end that articulates with the talus
- forms the bulge of the ankle (outer)Slide6
Tibia
Larger, weight bearing bone on medial side; articulates with the femur & fibula (proximal) and fibula & talus (distal)
Lateral & medial
condyles
– slightly concave region where the
condyles
of the femur fit
Tibial
tuberosity
– rough area below the
condyles
for attachment of ligaments associated with the knee
Anterior crest
– sharp ridge on anterior surface; forms the shin
Medial
malleolus
– forms the medial bulge of the ankle (inner)Slide7
Foot
Composed of the ankle, insteps and toes
Tarsals
– 7
Tarsus
– ankle; articulates with lateral
malleolus
of fibula and medial
malleolus
of tibia
Calcaneous
– heel bone
Navicular
Meidal
cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform,
cuboid
Metatarsals
– 5
Phalanges
– 14
Hallux
– big toe
