Study Notes
Tibia and Fibula
- The flat surface of the tibia that articulates with the femur consists of the medial and lateral condyles.
- The fibula is located laterally to the tibia.
- The medial malleolus is a noticeable bump on the medial surface of the ankle.
- The tibia articulates with the femur at its proximal end.
- The tibial tuberosity is a blunt elevation on the anterior surface of the tibia, situated between the medial and lateral condyles.
- The tibia forms the medial portion of the leg.
Humerus
- The greater tubercle is an anatomical landmark on the proximal end of the humerus.
- The olecranon fossa is a depression located on the posterior surface of the distal humerus.
- The trochlea is the region of the humerus that articulates with the ulna, situated between the medial epicondyle and capitulum.
- The lateral epicondyle is found on the distal end of the humerus.
- The head of the humerus articulates with the scapula, forming the shoulder joint.
- The humerus is part of the appendicular skeleton.
Foot Anatomy
- The talus is the tarsal bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula.
- There are a total of 7 tarsal bones in the foot.
- The calcaneus is anatomically referred to as the "heel bone."
- The metatarsals make up the middle portion of the foot.
- Only the first digit (big toe) contains two phalanges.
- A phalanx is classified as a long bone.
Hip Bone Structure
- The adult hip bone consists of 3 distinct regions.
- The auricular surface of the ilium articulates with the sacrum.
- The ischial tuberosity is a landmark of the hip bone that can be felt when sitting.
- The greater sciatic notch is an indentation inferior and lateral to the auricular surface.
- The ilium is identified as the largest region of the hip bone.
- The acetabulum serves as the articulation site for the femur.
- The obturator foramen is a large hole in the hip bone.
- The iliac crest is the ridge-like superior edge of the ilium.
- The hip bone articulates with the sacral region of the vertebral column.
- The pubic tubercles can be palpated on the anterior surface, near the midline.
Miscellaneous Facts
- The palpable projections of the hip bone at the front of the body are not the posterior inferior iliac spines.
- The ischial spine is the projection at the inferior end of the greater sciatic notch.
- The hip bone is part of the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton.
- The radius is located laterally in reference to the ulna.
- The head of the radius articulates with the ulna.
- The styloid process of the radius helps form the wrist joint.
- The radius is closest to the first digit (the thumb).
- A pivot joint is formed between the radius and ulna.
- Supination movement is enabled by the articulation between the radius and ulna at the elbow.
- The pectoral girdle connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton.
- The arm consists of one long bone, which is the humerus.
- A pelvis that is wide and shallow with small, far-apart acetabula and a rounded pubic arch suggests a specific anatomical classification.
