Unit 1 Section 4

Metacarpal bones

Phalanges (fingers)

phalanges (green = proximal, blue = intermediate, red = distal)

pelvis bone

pelvic inlet - top rim of the true pelvis

pelvic outlet - bottom hole or rim of the pelvis ; outlet = exit

true pelvis - Inside / below the pelvic inlet ;

The pelvic inlet separates the false pelvis above from the true pelvis below.

false pelvis - Above the pelvic inlet ; the greater pelvis

The pelvic inlet separates the false pelvis above from the true pelvis below.

sacroiliac joint - where the sacrum and the ilium connect

pubic symphysis - where the left and right pubic bones meet

ilium bone

iliac crest - superior (top) edge or rim of the ilium bone

iliac fossa

auricular surface - the chunky, flat piece under the iliac tuberosity

greater sciatic notch - the “hook” like hole in the ilium

anterior superior iliac spine

anterior inferior iliac spine

posterior superior iliac spine

posterior inferior iliac spine - point above the greater sciatic notch

ischium bone

ischial spine - below the greater sciatic notch

ischial tuberosity - big bump near the acetabulum fossa

lesser sciatic notch

pubis bone

obturator foramen - big hole in the pubis and ischium

acetabulum - slot for head of femur

pectineal line - ridge like structure on the thinnest part

femur bone

head of femur

neck of femur

greater trochanter - big tip size structure next to the neck of femur

lesser trochanter - smaller bump at the bottom of the neck of femur

lateral condyle (of femur) - on the greater trochanter side

medial condyle (of femur) - on the head side

lateral epicondyle (of radius) - above the lateral condyle

medial epicondyle (of femur) - above medial condyle

patellar surface - looks like an “n” ; also bones on one side, patellar surface on the other

popliteal surface - triangular groove

intertrochanteric line - boundary of between tranchanters and neck

Intertrochanteric crest - ridge between greater and lesser trochanter

Gluteal tuberosity - buldge in line and below the greater trochanter

Intercondylar fossa - ditch between lateral and medial condyles

Tibia bone

Medial condyle (of tibia) - connects with MC of femur (also head side of femur) ; ALSO LARGER

lateral condyle (of tibia) - connects with LC of femur and touches the fibula bone ; on the great trochanter side ; ALSO SMALLER than MEDIAL CONDYLE

Intercondylar eminence - bump that lays between both condyles of the tibia

Tibial tuberosity - on the back side of the tibia

Medial malleolus - looks like the styloid process but on the tibia ; on the medial condyle side

FIBULA BONE

head of fibula

shaft of fibula

lateral malleolus

Patella bone

tarsal bones

talus- on top of heel bone and connects to tibia

calcaneus

navicular - in front of talus

cuboid - in front of calcaneus

cuneiforms (medial, intermediate, lateral)

metatarsal bones

phalanges (toes)
