The bone system

Foot

The foot (pes) is divided into 3 departments: tarsus, metatarsus and fingers. The skeleton of these departments is the tarsi bones (ossa tarsi), the bones of the metatarsalia (ossa metasarsalia) and the bones of the toes (ossa digitorum pedis).

Fibula

The fibula is thin, with the head of the fibula (caput fibulae) on its upper, thickened (proximal) end. On the medial side of the head is the articular surface of the head of the fibula (facies articularis cdpitas fibulae) for articulation with the tibia.

Tibia

Tibial bone (tibia) is the thickest bone of the shin. The proximal end of the bone is thickened and forms the medial and lateral condyles (condylus medialis and condylus lateralis).

Shin bones

The lower leg has two bones. The tibia is medially located, laterally - the fibula. Each bone has a body and two ends. The ends of the bones are thickened and bear the surfaces for the connection with the femur at the top (tibia) and with the bones of the foot underneath.

Femur

Femur (femur) - the longest tubular bone in the human body. It has a body and two ends. On the upper (proximal) end is the head of the femur (caput femoris) for connection to the pelvic bone.

Ischium

The ischium bone (os ischii) has a thickened body (corpus ossis ischii), which completes the acetabulum from below and moves to the ischium (ramus ossis ischu) branch anteriorly.

Pubic bone

The pubic bone (os pubis) has an enlarged part - the body, and two branches. The body of the pubic bone (corpus ossis pubis) forms the anterior section of the acetabulum.

Ilium

The iliac bone (os ilium) consists of two sections. The lower thickened section - the body of the ilium (corpus ossis ilii) - participates in the formation of the acetabulum. Upper, dilated section is the wing of the ilium (ala ossis ilii).

Hip bone

Pelvic bone (os coxae) up to 12-16 years old consists of three separate bones connected by cartilage: iliac, pubic and sciatic, which at this age are intergrown with each other.

Bones of lower limb

The skeleton of the lower limbs consists of their belt and free parts of the lower limbs.
