Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbs

Pelvic girdle

Formed by two coxal bones, commonly called the hip bones, and the sacrum

Ilium

large, flaring bone that forms most of the hip bone

Sacroiliac joint

the joint between the sacrum and the ilium

Iliac crest

upper margin of iliac bones

Anterior superior iliac spine

the iliac crest ends anteriorly in this

Ischium

the "sit-down bone", most inferior part of the coxal bone

Ischial tuberosity

receives the weight of the body when sitting

Greater sciatic notch

allows blood vessels and the large sciatic nerve to pass from the pelvis posteriorly into the thigh

Pubis

most anterior part of the coxal bone

Acetabulum

large socket in the pelvic bone for the head of the femur

Pelvic outlet

inferior opening of the pelvis measured between ischial spines

femur

heaviest, strongest bone in the body; thigh bone

greater and lesser trochanter

sites of muscle attachment on the proximal end of the femur

lateral and medial condyles of femur

articulate with the tibial head to form knee joint

tibia

the medial and larger bone of the lower leg; shinbone

medial and lateral condyles of the tibia

articulate with femur to form the knee joint

patella

kneecap

tibial tuberosity

knob on the anterior tibial surface where the patellar ligament attaches

medial mallelous

Bony protrusion on the inner side of ankle (tibia)

fibula

The lateral and smaller bone of the lower leg; thin and sticklike

lateral malleolus

Bony protrusion on the outer side of ankle (fibula)

tarsal bones

the seven bones of the ankle

calcaneus

heel bone; largest of the tarsal bones

talus

Ankle bone, articulates with tibia and fibula

metatarsals

form the sole of the foot

phalanges (foot)

14 bones of toes; hallux (great toe) has two bones the rest have three bones

navicular

Name the bone.

cuboid

Name the bone.

Cuneiform Bones (medial, intermediate, lateral)

Name the highlighted bones
