Obturator foramen
Largest foramen in the human body, is situated between the ischium and pubis of the hipbone, and is closed by the obturator membrane except for the obturator canal
Acetabulum
Cup-shaped hollow in the hipbone into which the head of the femur fits to form a ball-and-socket joint

Notch in the posterior border of the ischium below the ischial spine
Body of pubis

Greater trochanter
Broad prominence at the upper end of the lateral aspect of the femur at the junction of the femoral neck and shaft
Lesser trochanter
Pyramidal prominence projecting from the proximal and medial part of the shaft of the femur
Intertrochanteric crest
Prominent ridge running obliquely downward and medialward from the summit of the greater trochanter on the posterior surface of the neck
Gluteal tuberosity
Rough surface that gluteus maximus attaches to
Linea aspera
Roughened longitudinal line on the posterior surface of the shaft of femur
Medial condyle of the femur
Shorter condyle closest to the midline
Lateral condyle of the femur
Condyle on the outer side of the lower extremity of the femur
Medial epicondyle of the femur
Epicondylus located proximal to the medial condyle
Lateral epicondyle of the femur
Epicondyle near the lateral condyle of the femur
Intercondylar notch
Between the condyles, articulates with the tibia
Patellar surface
Area on the femur that articulates with the patella
Patella
Knee cap
Tibia
Shin bone or larger bone of the lower leg
Medial condyle of the tibia
Bony prominence on the medial side of the head of the tibia
Lateral condyle of the tibia
Bony prominence on the lateral side of the head of the tibia
Tibial tuberosity
Tubercle on the anterior aspect of the proximal tibia, into which the patellar tendon inserts
Anterior crest of the tibia
A prominent border on the leg that commences at the tibial tuberosity and ends at the anterior margin of the medial malleolus
Medial malleolus of the tibia
Where the tibia is prolonged downward on its medial side as a strong process
Fibula
Outer and narrower of two bones of the human lower leg
Intercondylar eminence
Area on the femur that articulates with the patella
Head of the fibula
Superior extremity of the fibula, which articulates by a facet with the undersurface of the lateral condyle of the tibia
Lateral malleolus of the fibula
Pyramidal form, and somewhat flattened from side to side
Styloid process of the fibula
Projects upward from the posterior part of the head
Neck of the fibula
Slightly constricted region between the head and body of the fibula
Apex of the fibula
Styloid process of the fibula
Tarsus
Bones of the part of the foot between the metatarsus and the leg
Calcaneal bone
Largest of the tarsal bones and is situated at the lower and back part of the foot forming the heel
Talus bone
Bone in the ankle that articulates with the leg bones to form the ankle joint
Navicular bone
One of the middle bones of the tarsus, corresponding to the centrale
Cuboid bone
Cube shaped bone on the outer side of the tarsus
First cuneiform bone
Largest of the three cuneiform bones, the medial bone of the distal row of the tarsus, articulating with the intermediate cuneiform, navicular, and first and second metatarsal bones
Second cuneiform bone
Smallest of the three cuneiform bones, of very regular wedge-like form, the thin end being directed downward
Third cuneiform bone
Wedge-shaped, the base being uppermost, occupies the center of the front row of the tarsal bones, between the second cuneiform medially, the cuboid laterally, the navicular behind, and the third metatarsal in front
Metatarsus
Skeleton of the human foot between the toes and the tarsus
Phalanges of the foot
Bones that form toes and are named after the digit and their distance from the body
