What is inferior to the patella?
The femur is superior to the patella and inferior to the ischium. The femur is commonly known as the thigh bone.
The tarsal bone that the distal end of the tibia articulates with is the calcaneus?
Tallus
What kind of bone is the calcaneus?
The calcaneus is the name for the bone that makes the heel. It forms a large bulbous projection from the posterior and inferior part of the foot to which the calcaneal tendon (or Achilles tendon) attaches.
What are the three main bones in the human leg?
The bones found within a human leg include the and the calcaneus, the femur, the fibula, the metatarsals, the patella, phalanges, talus, tarsals, and the tibia.
Tarsal bone that sits on calcaneus?
The tarsal bone that sits on the calcaneus is the talus. The talus forms the primary connection between the foot and the leg, articulating with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint. It plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and movement of the foot.
What bones articulates with the inferior end of the femur?
The inferior end of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella. The femur forms the knee joint with the tibia and the patella acts as a protector and provides leverage for the quadriceps muscles.
What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?
The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.
Name the bones of the lower limbs from superior to inferior?
The bones of the lower limb from superior to inferior are the femur (thigh bone), patella (kneecap), tibia and fibula (lower leg bones), tarsal bones (ankle bones), metatarsal bones (foot bones), and phalanges (toe bones).
Where does the Achilles tendons insert?
superior extensor retinaculum and inferior extensor retinaculum
The anatomical name for heel bone?
The calcaneus.
Name of your heel bone?
The ankle joint is the Synnovial Hinge type joint between the two bones of the leg (Tibia and Fibula) and the Tarsal Bone called the Talus. The scientific term for the joint is the Talocrural Articulation and here only one plane of movement occurs, Plantarflexion (flexing downwards) and Dorsiflexion (flexing upwards). The rest of the movents occur between the tarsal bones.Yeah, um. That's definitely not the answer to the question. In fact, that question wasn't even asked. The scientific name for the ankle is the malleolus.
What is the heel bone bone?
calcaneus
