Pelvic Girdle

The pelvic girdle is a ring-like structure
It consists of three bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
It is connected to the sacrum.
It supports the weight of the upper body.
It protects the organs in the pelvic cavity.

Femur

The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body.
It is located in the thigh region.
It has a head, a neck, and a shaft.
The head of the femur has a smooth articular surface that articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone.
Also has greater and lesser trochanters.

Patella

The patella is a sesamoid bone.
It is located in front of the knee joint.
It is roughly triangular in shape.
It protects the knee joint.

Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is a large, strong bone.
It is located in the lower leg, medial to the fibula.
It is slightly flattened at each end.
The fibula is a smaller, thinner bone.
It is located in the lower leg, lateral to the tibia.
Both Tibia and fibula work together to form the ankle joint.

Radius and Ulna

The radius is located on the lateral side of the forearm.
The ulna is located medial to the radius.
They are long bones.
They articulate with the humerus at the elbow and with the carpals at the wrist.

This quiz explores the key structures of the pelvic girdle and major leg bones, including the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. Test your knowledge on their anatomy, structure, and functions essential for understanding human movement and support. Perfect for students of anatomy and physiology.
