Today’s Goals
1.) Know the 3 bones of the hip2.) Identify major markings3.) Compare and Contrast Male and Female Hip
4.) Rekindle that special fire
Final is a week from tomorrow!
• It’s a doozy! • Hip and Leg will be on it also!
Pelvic (Hip) Girdle• Two hip bones (each also called coxal
bone or os coxae)–Attach the lower limbs to the axial
skeleton with strong ligaments–Transmit weight of upper body to
lower limbs–Support pelvic organs
Os coxae
• Each hip bone consists of three fused bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis
• Together with the sacrum and the coccyx, these bones form the bony pelvis

Hip Bone• Three regions
1. Ilium• Superior region of the coxal bone• Auricular surface articulates with the sacrum (sacroiliac
joint)2. Ischium
• Posteroinferior part of hip bone3. Pubis
• Anterior portion of hip bone• Midline pubic symphysis joint

Comparison of Male and Female Pelvis
• Female pelvis– Adapted for childbearing– True pelvis (inferior to pelvic brim) defines birth
canal– Cavity of the true pelvis is broad, shallow, and has
greater capacity
Comparison of Male and Female Pelves
• Male pelvis– Tilted less forward– Adapted for support of male’s heavier build and
stronger muscles– Cavity of true pelvis is narrow and deep
A man’s hip
Comparison of Male and Female PelvesCharacteristic Female Male
Bone thickness Lighter, thinner, and smoother
Heavier, thicker, and more prominent markings
Pubic arch/angle 80˚– 90˚ 50˚– 60˚
Acetabula Small; farther apart Large; closer together
Sacrum Wider, shorter; sacral curvature is accentuated
Narrow, longer; sacral promontory more ventral
Coccyx More movable; straighter Less movable; curves ventrally

Table 7.4
• Describe femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges
• Describe markings and functions on each bone• Know how we number piggies
The Lower Limb
• Carries the weight of the body• Subjected to exceptional forces • Three segments of the lower limb
– Thigh: femur– Leg: tibia and fibula– Foot: 7 tarsal bones in the ankle, 5 metatarsal
bones in the metatarsus, and 14 phalanges in the toes
Femur
• Largest and strongest bone in the body• Articulates proximally with the acetabulum of
the hip and distally with the tibia and patella

Bones of the LegTibia• Medial leg bone• Receives the weight of the body from the
femur and transmits it to the foot
Bones of the legFibula• Not weight bearing; no articulation with
femur• Site of muscle attachment • Connected to tibia by interosseous
membrane• Articulates with tibia via proximal and
distal tibiofibular joints

Foot: Tarsals
• Seven tarsal bones form the posterior half of the foot
• Talus transfers most of the weight from the tibia to the calcaneus
• Other tarsal bones: cuboid, navicular, and the medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiforms
Foot: Metatarsals and Phalanges
• Metatarsals:– Five metatarsal bones (#1 to #5) – Enlarged head of metatarsal 1 forms the “ball of the foot”
• Phalanges– The 14 bones of the toes– Each digit (except the hallux) has three phalanges – Hallux has no middle phalanx

Arches of the Foot
• Arches are maintained by interlocking foot bones, ligaments, and tendons
• Arches allow the foot to bear weight• Three arches
– Lateral longitudinal – Medial longitudinal – Transverse

Developmental Aspects: Fetal Skull
• Infant skull has more bones than the adult skull• Skull bones such as the mandible and frontal bones are
unfused • At birth, skull bones are connected by fontanelles
– Fontanelles• Unossified remnants of fibrous membranes between
fetal skull bones• Four fontanelles
– Anterior, posterior, mastoid, and sphenoid
