Pelvic, Patella, Tibia, Femur, Fibula, Knee Joint, and Feet Bones

Pelvic Brim

True Pelvis

Contains part of the colon, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs

False Pelvis

Contains part of the colon and small intestine

What are the hip bones called?

Coxal bones

Acetabulum

Articulates with the head of the femur

Obturator Foramen

Mostly covered by the obturator membrane and allows for passage of VAN

Iliac region

Ischial region

Pubic region

When is the fusion of the three coxal bones complete?

It begins during the mid to late teens and is complete between your early to mid twenties

Iliac Crest

Attachment site for multiple abdominal and back muscles

Sciatic Notch

Allows for sciatic nerve to exit the pelvis

Auricular surface

Articulates with the auricular surface of the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint

Ischial tuberosity

Attachment site for thigh and gluteal muscles. This is the part that bears the weight when you sit down

Symphyseal surface

Articulates with the symphyseal surface of the opposite coxal bone to form the pubic symphysis

Head of the femur

Articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis

Neck of the femur

Greater trochanter

Attachment point for the gluteus medius and other hip muscles

Lesser trochanter

Linea Aspera

Medial condyle of the femur

Found on the posterior of the diaphysis of the femur

Medial condyle of the femur

Lateral condyle of the femur

Lateral epicondyle of the femur

Medial epicondyle of the femur

Patellar surface of the femur

Patella

Medial condyle of the femur

Lateral condyle

Tibial tuberosity

Medial Malleolus

What does the medial malleolus of the tibula articulate with?

The talus of the ankle bones

Head of the fibula

Articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia

Lateral Malleolus of the fibula

What are the three joints of the knee joint?

• Patellofemoral

• Medial tibiofemoral

• Lateral tibiofemoral

What do tendons do?

Connect skeletal muscle to bone

Quadriceps tendon

What do ligaments do?

Ligaments connect bone to bone

Patellar Ligament

Attaches the patella to the tibial tuberosity

Lateral collateral ligament

Attaches from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula

Medial collateral ligament

Attaches from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the tibia

Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Posterior Cruciate Ligament

Medial Meniscus

Pad of fibrocartilage between the medial condyle of the femur and the medial condyle of the tibia

Lateral meniscus

Talus

Articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint

Calcaneus

The heel bone

Metatarsals

How many phalanges, metatarsals, and tarsals in the feet?

• 14 phalanges

• 5 metatarsals

• 7 tarsals

Proximal phalanx

Middle phalanx

Distal phalanx

Talus

Calcaneus

Pubic symphysis

Connects the two coxal bones
