Section 3
The pubis forms the anterior portion of the
hip bone
Like the upper limb, the lower limb is divided into this many regions
3
Each upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a
limb bud
How many bones fuse in adulthood to form the hip bone
3
Which component forms the superior part of the hip bone
ilium
The shallow depression located on the anteromedial (internal) surface of the upper ilium is called the
iliac fossa
The _____ of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint
head
Limb buds are visible in an embryo at the end of the _______ week of development
7th
Which of the following supports body weight when sitting
ischial tuberosity
The pelvis has a subpubic angle that is larger in
females
The curved, superior margin of the ilium
iliac crest
The ________ is largest sesamoid bone of the body
patella (kneecap)
The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the
apical ectodermal ridge
What is the total number of bones found in the foot and toes?
26
The posterior half of the foot is formed by seven tarsal bones. The most superior bone is the
talus
The large, roughened area of the inferior ischium is the
ischial tuberosity
The ______ is the medial bone of the lower leg
tibia (shin bone)
A congenital (present at birth) disorder of unknown cause and is the most common deformity of the lower limb.
Clubfoot (talipes)
Which bony landmark of the femur serves as a site for muscle attachments
lesser trochanter
What structure contributes to the knee joint
medial condyle of the tibia
The inferior limit of the lesser pelvic cavity is called the
pelvic outlet
Patellofemoral syndrome is also known as
Runner's knee
All of the girdle and limb bones, except for the clavicle, develop by the process of
endochondral ossification
Which tarsal bone articulates with the tibia and fibula
talus
The tibia is firmly anchored to the fibula by an
interosseous membrane
