Lower Appendicular

• Who is presenting the video on the appendicular skeleton?

  Dr. Benaduzi
• What are the three main regions of the lower limb?

  • Thigh
  • Leg
  • Foot
• What does the term 'leg' refer to in anatomical terms?

  The leg refers specifically to the part of the lower limb that goes from the knee to the ankle joint.
• What are the two bones of the leg?

  • Tibia
  • Fibula
• How many bones are in the thigh?

  One bone, the femur.
• What is the largest sesamoid bone in the body?

  The patella.
• How many bones are in the foot, and what are their classifications?

  • 7 tarsal bones (short bones)
  • 5 metatarsal bones (long bones)
  • 14 phalanges (long bones)
• Why are phalanges classified as long bones?

  Because they are all longer than they are wide.
• What type of bone is the calcaneus classified as?

  The calcaneus is classified as both a short bone and an irregular bone.
• What is the role of the femur in the lower limb?

  The femur articulates the lower limb with the pelvic girdle.
• What are the key features of the femur that are important for articulation?

  • Head of the femur
  • Neck of the femur
  • Medial condyle of the femur
  • Lateral condyle of the femur
• What is the name of the rounded smooth surface at the proximal end of the femur?

  The head of the femur.
• What is the greater trochanter of the femur?

  The greater trochanter is a large bump on the lateral aspect of the femur.
• What is the lesser trochanter of the femur?

  The lesser trochanter is a smaller projection on the femur, located medially.
• What is the gluteal tuberosity of the femur?

  The gluteal tuberosity is a rough area on the femur that serves as a point of attachment for the gluteus maximus muscle.
• What is the linea aspera of the femur?

  The linea aspera is a rough line on the posterior aspect of the femur that serves as a point of attachment for muscles.
• What are the femoral condyles and their positions?

  • Medial condyle of the femur (closer to the medial aspect)
  • Lateral condyle of the femur (closer to the lateral aspect)
• How are the epicondyles of the femur defined?

  Epicondyles are rough projections above the condyles that serve as points of attachment for muscles.
• What are the names of the epicondyles of the femur?

  • Lateral epicondyle of the femur
  • Medial epicondyle of the femur
• What articulates with the head of the femur?

  The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the os coxae (hip bone).
• What are the two bones in the leg?

  • Tibia (medial)
  • Fibula (lateral)
• How can you identify the anterior view of the tibia?

  The anterior view of the tibia has a rough bump called the tibial tuberosity.
• What is the medial malleolus of the tibia?

  The medial malleolus is a bump on the medial aspect of the tibia, located at the distal end.
• What are the condyles of the tibia that articulate with the femur?

  • Medial condyle of the tibia
  • Lateral condyle of the tibia
• How do you identify the lateral condyle of the tibia?

  The lateral condyle of the tibia is located opposite the medial malleolus.
