Femur:
greater trochanter
head
medial & lateral condyles
Part II:
The Appendicular Skeleton
Foot:
7 tarsal bones: calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, 3 cuneiforms
5 metatarsals: #1-5
14 phalanges: (distal, middle, proximal)
Articulations & Body Movements
Joint Classifications based on Structure of Joint:
Fibrous joint :
bones are joined by dense connective tissue (sutures)
Cartilaginous joint:
bones are joined by cartilage (pubic symphysis, ribs to sternum)
Synovial joint:
bone ends are enclosed in a joint capsule
(knee, hip, elbow, fingers)
Types of Synovial Joints:
Plane joint
Hinge joint
Pivot joint
Ball & socket joint
Saddle joint
Movements at Synovial Joints
Flexion / Extension / Hyperextension
Circumduction
Rotation
Adduction/Abduction
Pronation / Supination (forearm & wrist)
Inversion / Eversion (ankle)
Plantar flexion / Dorsiflexion (ankle)
Anatomy of the Hip Joint:
Iliofemoral ligament
Pubofemoral ligament
Acetabulum & acetabular labrum
Ligamentum teres
Anatomy of Knee Joint:
Tendon of quadriceps femoris muscle
Patellar ligament
Anterior cruciate & posterior cruciate ligaments
Medial meniscus & lateral meniscus
Fibular collateral ligament
Tibial collateral ligament
ID joint locations of the following on articulated skeleton:
Temporo-mandibular joint
Tibio-femoral joint
Intervertebral joints
Distal radio-ulnar joint
Sterno-clavicular joint
Coxal joint
Gleno-humeral joint
Sacroiliac joint
A joint “sprain” is when the ligaments are stretched or torn.
Common sprains occur in the ankle. A joint “dislocation” is when
the ends of the bones in a joint are forced from their normal positions. Dislocation is most common in shoulders and fingers.
