2. Major Bones in the Lower Limb
1. Femur(thighbone)
Longest and heaviest bone
2. The Tibia(shinbone)
and Fibula
3. Bones of the Tarsus(ankle) and foot

3. Femur(thighbone) 6
1. Neck
2. Articular surface of head 5 10

4. Femur 6.Greater Trochanter 3.Lesser Trochanter
Large, rough projections that extend laterally from the juncture of the neck and shaft
Where large tendons attach to the femur

5. Femur 4.Linea Aspera prominent elevation on the posterior surface
marks attachment of muscles that pull the shaft to the midline (called Adduction)
5.Shaft of Femur

6. Femur 7.Medial Condyle 10.Lateral Condyle form part of the knee joint
Patella(Not shown on femur diagram)
Kneecap: glides over smooth anterior surface between lateral and medial condyles

7. Checkpoint!
What is the kneecap called?

8. Femur 8. Medial epicondyle 9. Lateral epicondyle
Large ends of the shaft
*Fun Fact*

9. Tibia Shinbone, or large medial bone of the leg.
Lateral and medial condyles of the Femur articulare with the lateral and medial condyles of the Tibia
The patellar ligament connects the patella to the tibial tuberosity just below the knee joint.

11. Fibula Parallels the lateral border of the tibia
Articulates with the tibia inferior to the lateral condyle of the tibia.
Is an important surface for muscle attachment
Distal Lateral malleolus provides lateral stability to the ankle.

12. The Foot

13. The Foot
-There are 14 Phalanges
-There are 5 metatarsals

14. Heel Bone (Calcaneus)
most of weight transmitted through the heel bone to the ground
The posterior project of the calcaneus serves as the attachment site for the calcaneal tendon (Achilles tendon)

15. Metatarsal Bones
The rest of the body's weight is passed through the cuneiform and cuboid bones to the metatarsal bones
support the sole of the foot

16. Checkpoint!
What is the function of the metatarsal bones?

17. Organization of Bones Resembles the hand
Numbered by Roman numerals I to V (medial to lateral)
Distal ends form ball of foot
Great toe (hallux) has 2 phalanges
Other toes have 3

19. Bones of the Ankle (Tarsus)
Talus
Calcaneus
Navicular Bone
Cuboid Bone
First Cuneiform Bone
Second cuneiform Bone
Third Cuneiform Bone
*only talus articulates with tibia and fibula. the talus passes the body's weight to the ground through the foot bones

21. Possible Injuries Femur fracture Tibia shaft fractures
Stress Fractures
Ankle Fracture
