• Round in female
• Heart shaped in males
• Lesser pelvic cavity

• Subpubic angle
• Greater than 80 degrees in
females
• Less than 70 degrees in males

each region

joint of the lower limb
The Femur & Patella

• Larger of the two
• Main weight bearing bone in
lower leg
• Landmarks
• Condyles
• Tibial tuberosity
• Medial malleolus
• Fibular notch
Tibia and Fibula
• Fibula
• Muscle attachment
• Not weight bearing
• Landmarks
• Head
• Lateral malleolus
Tarsal Bones
• Talus
• Most superior bone
• Calcaneus
• Largest bone
• Cuboid
• Articulates with calcaneus
• Navicular
• Articulates with talus
• Cuneiform bones
• Medial , Lateral,
Intermmediate
Metatarsals and
Phalanges
• 5 metatarsals
• 1-5 starting on medial side of
foot
• 14 phalanx bones
• 2 phalanges in big toe
• 3 in other toes
Development of the Appendicular Skeleton:
Objectives
Describe the growth and development of the embryonic limb
buds
Discuss the appearance of primary and secondary ossification
centers
Limb Growth
• Limb Buds
• 4th week of development
• Upper and lower limbs
• Mesenchyme core covered with
ectoderm
• Apical ectodermal ridge
• Stimulates mesenchyme to
proliferate
• Outgrowth of limb
• 6th week
• Distal ends expand into paddle
shapes
• 7th week
• Upper limb rotates laterally 90
degrees
• Palm of hand faces anteriorly
Ossification of Bones
• Endochondral ossification
• All bones EXCEPT clavicle
• Mesenchyme within limb buds
differentiates into hyaline cartilage
• Primary ossification center forms
• Secondary ossification centers form
• Intramembranous ossification
• Clavicle ONLY
• Mesenchymal cells differentiate
directly into bone producing cells
• Complete at 25
