    Study Notes

    The Bones of the Lower Limb

    • The lower limb consists of the femur, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges.
    • The femur is the bone of the thigh.
    • The tibia and fibula make up the bones of the leg.
    • The foot is composed of tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges.

    The Pelvic Girdle

    • The pelvic girdle is formed by the two hip bones that articulate with the sacrum at the posterior.
    • The hip bones are part of the axial skeleton.

    Types of Bones

    Morphology-Based Classification

    • Long bones have two ends and a shaft, examples include the femur and humerus.
    • Short bones include carpal and tarsal bones.
    • Flat bones include the scapula and bones of the skull vault.
    • Irregular bones include vertebrae and bones of the skull base.
    • Pneumatic bones contain air-filled spaces, such as the maxilla and frontal bones.
    • Sesamoid bones develop inside tendons, examples include the patella and pisiform bone.
    • Sutural bones are small bones found within the sutural lines of the skull.

    Structure-Based Classification

    • Compact bone forms the outer hard layer.
    • Spongy bone forms the inner delicate trabeculated layer.

    Development-Based Classification

    • Membrane bones develop in dense membranes of mesodermal tissue.
    • Cartilage bones develop in preformed cartilaginous models.
