-
ilium
- iliac fossa: large anterior curve
- iliac crest: top
- posterior superior iliac spine: point at posterior end of crest
- posterior inferior iliac spine: bump inferior to p.s.i.s.
- anterior superior iliac spine: point at anterior end of crest
- anterior inferior iliac spine: bump inferior to a.s.i.s.
- greater sciatic notch: prominent "V" chunk
- auricular surface: "ear shaped surface meets with sacrum
-
ischium
- ischial tuberosity: roughened portion at back, supports body when sitting
- ischial spine: pointed portion
-
pubis
pubic symphysis: region adjacent to interpubic disc
-
innominate bone
- acetabulum (acetabular fossa): cup/bowl structure where head of femur attaches
- obturator foramen: large hole
- arcuate line: anterior side of ilium, smooth ridge
-
proximal end of femur
- head
- lesser trochanter:
smaller bump, medial proximal end - greater trochanter: larger bump, on lateral side
-
shaft of the femur
- linea aspera: roughened ridge that runs along posterior surface
- gluteal tuberosity: fork of the linea aspera, inferior to greater trochanter
-
distal end of the femur
- medial condyle: same side as the head, on posterior side
- medial epicondyle: superior to medial epicondyle
- lateral condyle: on the same side as the greater trochanter, on posterior
- lateral epicondyle: superior to lateral condyle
- intercondylar fossa: big dip between condyles
- patellar surface: smooth depression on anterior side that articulates with the patella
- popliteal surface: flat or slightly depressed area on the posterior side
-
proximal end of the fibula
- flatter (fibula is lateral to the tibia)
- head
-
distal end of the fibula
lateral malleolus: point on lateral side, forms outside ankle
-
proximal end of the tibia
- medial condyle
- lateral condyle
- intercondylar eminence:
ridge between condyles - articular surface (or facet) for the fibula: lateral side
-
shaft of the tibia
- tibial tuberosity: rough anterior bump closer to the proximal end, just below the patella
- anterior or tibial crest: ridge that forms "shin"
-
distal end of the tibia
- medial malleolus: on medial side, forms inner ankle bone
- fibular notch: lateral notch that articulates with fibula
- inferior articular surface: articulates with talus
-
tarsals of the foot
- ankle bones
- proximal group:
- calcaneus: largest tarsal bone, forms the heel
- talus: second largest and most superior
- navicular: short, wide bone on medial side
- distal group:
- cuboid: largest in distal group, on lateral side
- medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiforms
-
metatarsals of the foot
numbered I through V from lateral to medial
-
phalanges of the foot
- proximal, medial and distal I through V
- (only proximal and distal phalanges for first toe)
