1. Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limb

2. Pelvic Girdle Consist of 2 coxae (hipbones) Pelvis Sacrum Coccyx

3. Pelvic Girdle Function Support the trunk of the body
Provide attachments for lower limbs
Protects urinary bladder
Protects distal end of large intestine
Protects reproductive organs

4. Coxa – 3 parts Ilium Largest and forms prominence of hip Ischium
Ischial Tuberosity- supports weight of hip
Pubis
Symphysis pubis

5. Pelvic Girdle
3 parts of the pelvic girdle fuss in acetabulum which receives the head of femur

6. Pelvic Girdle
Obturator Foramen – between pubis and ischium; largest foramen in skeleton

7. Lower Limb
Consist of:
Femur
Tibia
Fibula
Ankle and Foot

8. Lower Limb
Function:
Framework of the thigh leg, ankle and foot

9. Femur Longest in body Head – projects medially in acetabulum
Fovea capitis – (pit) on femoral head; ligaments attachment
Greater trochanter – muscle attachment
Lesser trochanter – muscle attachment

10. Femur Lateral condyle – articulates with tibia
Medial condyle – articulates with tibia
Patella – kneecap; articulates with femur

11. Tibia “Shin bone” Larger of the two leg bones
Medial condyles – articulate with femur
Lateral condyles – articulate with femur
Tibial tuberosity – attachment for patellar ligament
Medial Malleolus- prominence on inner ankle, attachment for ligaments

12. Fibula Long, slender bone Head – articulates with tibia
Lateral malleolus – articulates with ankle

13. Ankle and Foot Tarsal Bones (7)
Talus – moves freely where it pins tibia and fibula
Calcaneus – largest, heel bone
Navicular
Cuboid
Lateral cuniform
Medial cuniform
Intermediate cuniform

14. Ankle and Foot Metatarsals (5) Numbered 1-5 beginning on medial side
Heads of these bones forms the “balls” of feet
Tarsals and metatarsals are bound by ligaments which form arches in foot

15. Ankle and Foot Phalanges Align and articulate with metatarsals
Three phalanges
Proximal
Middle
Distal
Except big toe, has no middle phalanx
