| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| FOOT | 26 BONES |
| 14 PHALANGES | BONES OF TOE |
| 5 METATRSALS | BONES OF INSTEP |
| 7 TARSALS | BONES OF ANKLE |
| WALKING, SUPPORTING BODY WEIGHT | THINGS FOOT DOES |
| FOREFOOT | METATARSALS AND TOES |
| midfoot | 5 tarsals |
| hindfoot | talus and calcaneous |
| midfoot | cuniforms, navicular, cuboid |
| longitudinal and tranverse arches | shock absorber that distributes body weight in all directions |
| superior side of foot | dorsum |
| inferior side of foot | plantar surface |
| big (great) toe | medial toe only two phalanx distal and proximal NO MIDDLE |
| metatarsals | body and two ends base and head, FIVE HEADS FORM BASE OF FOOT |
| 1st metatrsal | shortest and thickest |
| 2nd metatrsal | longest |
| base of 5th metatrsal | prominent tuberosity common site for fractures |
| 7 tarsals in foot | Calcaneuos,talus, navicular,cuboid, medial cuneiform,intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform. |
| begining at the medial side of the foot the cuneiforms are described as | medial, intermediate, lateral. |
| the calcaneous | largest and strongest tarsal (os Calsis) |
| calcaneous angle | 30 degrees |
| posterior and inferior parts of the calcaneous attach to | the achilles tendon |
| the talus | second largestr tarsal bone |
| talus | articulates with four bones( tibia, fibula, calcaneous, and navicular. |
| cuboid | lateral side3 of the foot between calcaneous and 4th and 5th metatrsals |
| navicular | between talus and three cuneiforms |
| cuniforms | central and medial aspect of the foot between the navicular , first second and third metatarsals |
| medial cuneiform | largest |
| the intermediadte cunieform | smal,est |
| 7 tarsal pneumonic | CHUBBY ( calcaneous) TWISTED (Talus) Never (Navicular) Could (cuboid) CHA (Cunieform-medial) CHA ( cunieform -intermediate) CHA (cunieform-lateral) |
| sesamoid bones | beneath the head of the first metatarsal embeded w/in the tendons (common site of fracture) |
| Leg | tibia and fibula |
| tibia | second largest bone in body medial side weight bearing bone |
| fibula | lateral side of leg bears no weight |
| tbia | makes up most of the mortise and articulates with the talus |
| femur | longest, strongestb and heaviest bone in body |
| when femur is vertical | the medial condyle is lower than the lateral |
| becasue the lateral epicondyle on the femur is lower | the central ray is angled 5m to 7 degress cephalaud to open the joint |
| the superior portion of the femur articulates with | the acetabulum of thehip joint |
| patella | knee cap |
