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 |
