  • Which bones articulate at the knee joint and which movements are possible? - The femoral condyles (femur) articulate with the tibia -->fibula not part of the knee joint - hinge-like, synovial joint --> Flexion and Extension 
  • Parts of the Tibia (larger bone) - tibial plateau - articulation with femoral condyles  - lateral condyle  - medial codyle - tibial tuberosity - muscle attachment  - Body/shaft - medial malleous 
  • Parts of the fibula (smaller bone) - Head - Neck - shaft/body - lateral malleous 
  • Where do tibia and fibula articulate? - at the superior and inferior tibio-fibular joint --> no pronation/supination
  • Which bones articulate at the ankle joint? - tibia and fibula articulate at the inferior tibio-fibular joint with the talus --> synovial hinge joing (flexion/extension)
  • Tarsal bones (7) 1. Proximal row: - talus - culcaneus - navicular  2. Distal row: - cuboid - Medial/Intermediate/Laterl cuneiform 
  • Metatarsal bones - numbered 1-5 (medially-laterally) - head + shaft + base 
  • Phalanges - Hallux (medially) - base + body + head
