What do the tibia and fibula articulate?
Tibia and Fibula (The Leg) The tibia and the smaller fibula bones comprise the lower leg and articulate at the knee and ankle.
Where does tibia articulate with fibula?
Distally, the tibia articulates with the talus to form the talocrural joint of the ankle. Although not functionally a part of the knee, the fibula articulates proximally with the lateral aspect of the tibia, forming the proximal tibiofibular joint.
Do both the tibia and fibula articulate with the talus?
The posterior foot is formed by the seven tarsal bones. The talus articulates superiorly with the distal tibia, the medial malleolus of the tibia, and the lateral malleolus of the fibula to form the ankle joint. The talus articulates inferiorly with the calcaneus bone.
Which part of this bone articulates with the ulna?
The ulna articulates with the humerus at its most proximal point forming the elbow in a hinge joint. It is the trochlea of the humerus which sits in the semi-lunar notch of the ulna to form this joint.
Which bone articulates with the ulna quizlet?
-The ulna and radius articulate with the humerus at the elbow joint. The articulation occurs in two places: where the head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus, and where the trochlear notch of the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
What part of the tibia articulates with the femur?
The proximal tibia consists of the expanded medial and lateral condyles, which articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the tibial condyles is the intercondylar eminence.
The calcaneus is a large bone forming the heel. It articulates with both the cuboid and the talus bones. The talus (or ankle bone) is an irregularly shaped bone that links the foot and the leg through the ankle joint. It has three main parts named the body, head, and neck of the talus.
What bones does the fibula articulate with?
The head of the fibula forms the proximal end and articulates with the underside of the lateral condyle of the tibia. The distal fibula articulates with the fibular notch of the tibia. The expanded distal end of the fibula is the lateral malleolus.
Does the fibula articulate with the foot?
The ankle joint (talocrural joint) is formed by the articulation of the tibia and fibula with the talus bone, one of the tarsals of the foot. The distal ends of the tibia and fibula, where they articulate with the talus, can be located by palpating the lateral and medial malleoli (malleolus is singular).
What part of the humerus articulates with the scapula?
The scapula articulates with the humerus at the glenoid fossa and the clavicle at the acromion process.
What does the trochlea articulate with?
ulna
The capitulum laterally articulates with the radius; the trochlea, a spool-shaped surface, articulates with the ulna.
