pelvic girdle
two coxal bones,that join with each other, anteriorly and with the sacrum posteriorly
3 functions of the pelvic girdle
bears the weight of the body, serves as place of attachment for the legs and protects the organs located in the pelvic cavity, including the urinary bladder and the reproductive organs
Pelvis
formed by the pelvic girdle, sacrum and coccyx
coxal bone
hip bone, composed of three parts, ilium, ischium and the pubis
acetabulum
depresseion formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis..receives the head of the femur and enables the thigh to rotate at the hip joint
ilium
largest of the part of the coxal bone, can be felt at the hip..connects in the back with the sacrum, forming the sacroiliac joint
sciatic notch
site where blood vessels and the sciatic nerve pass from the pelvic cavity into the posterior thigh region
ischium
most inferior part of the coxal bone..contains ischial tuberosity, ischial spine and lesser sciatic notch
ischial tuberosity
part of the coxal bone, on which you stil
ischial spine
projects into the pelvic cavity and narrows the outlest of the pelvis
pubis
most anterior part of the coxal bone, the two pubic bones join together in front as the symphysis pubis`
obturator foramen
large hole that is formed as the pubic bones fuse, with a part of the ischium...largest forament in the body
false pelvis
from outside of coxal to outside of coxal
true pelvis
ring formed by the fusion of the pelvic bones, also called the pelvic brim...must be large enough for passage of an infant during childbirth
FEMUR
thigh bone, longest strongest bone, articulates, coxal bone
ACETABULUM
head of femur goes in here,
GREATER TROCHANTER
bocy process of the femur ,HIGHEST point, attachment for muscles
LESSER TROCHANTER
bony process of the femur, LOWER point, attachment for muscles
PATELLA
kneecap, triangular bone..articulates with the femur and the tibia
TIBia
THICK INNER BONEshinbone, larger weight bearinging bone, LARGER than the fibula
fibuLA
thin bone, LATERAL and connects with the tibia, it DOESN"T connect with the femur, ISN"T part of the knee, DOESN"T bear any weight
LATERAL MALLEOLUS
lower end of the fibula, articulates with the ankle bones
TARSAL BONES
7 bones that form the ankle
TALUS
proximal part of the tarsal, connects to the fibula
CALCANEUS
Heelbone
METATARSAL BONES
5 bones that form the instep
GOUT
Too much uric acid in the blood, urick acid deposits in joints and forms tiny sharp crystals, called TOPHI, that inflame the joint and cause pain
GOUTY
Great toe, One join, usually the toe, Uric acid, Tophi, Yikes, that hurts
ARTHROLOGY
study of joints
