What structures make up the pelvis? Sacrum/ Coccyx
Know the differences between the male and female pelvis. Why do these differences exist? Female: Smoother and lighter, Less prominent muscle and ligament attch, more broad and shorter, enlarged pelvic outlet/ Child bearing
What type of bone is the patella? What is the function of these types of bones? (recall from chapter 6) Sesamoid bone/ Kneecap

Which of the tarsals is most responsible for transferring weight from the tibia? Talus
Which tarsal is considered the heel bone? 34. How are the metatarsals numbered? Calcaneus
Which of the foot digits have two phalanges and which have three? Hallux(big toe)/ Four toes
What is sexual dimorphism? Distinct difference in size or appearance and between the sexual organs.
Why are bone markings generally less prominent in females than males? Heavier bones and more prominent bone marking suggest more muscle mass
What is the relationship between joint strength and mobility? In other words, what happens to joint strength as joint mobility increases? Joint strength decreases as mobility increases.

opposition/reposition Thumb mvmt toward fingers or palm(grasping)/ opposite of opposition.
protraction/retraction Moves anteriorly, horizontal plane(pushing forward)/ Opposite of protraction, moving posteriorly (pulling back)
