What is this bone?

a)

tibia

b)

fibula

c)

femur

d)

ulna

2.

Identify #10? On the medial side of the tibia's distal end, it is a rounded bony area with a projection. Latin for little hammer, it articulates with the talus bone of the foot. The bony area you feel on the inside of your ankle.

a)

medial malleolus

b)

articular surface

c)

anterior border

d)

tibial tuberosity

3.

Identify #11? It has a concave surface. They articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the femur, forming the tibiofemoral joint.

a)

medial malleolus

b)

articular surface

c)

anterior border

d)

tibial tuberosity

4.

Identify X?

a)

medial malleolus

b)

articular surface

c)

anterior border

d)

tibial tuberosity

5.

Identify #15? Found between the condyles and the shaft, this is a bump on the anterior side of the tibia. The word means bump. It allows for the attachment of the patellar ligament.

a)

medial malleolus

b)

articular surface

c)

anterior border

d)

tibial tuberosity

6.

Identify #1? Found at the proximal end (or top) in the middle of the tibia widens out from the shaft. It is a rounded projection on a bone that is going to articulate (or form a joint) with something.

a)

medial condyle

b)

lateral condyle

c)

intercondylar eminence

d)

articular surface of medial condyle

e)

articular surface of lateral condyle

7.

Identify #7? Found at the proximal end (or top) away from the midline of the tibia widens out from the shaft. It is a rounded projection on a bone that is going to articulate (or form a joint) with something.

a)

medial condyle

b)

lateral condyle

c)

intercondylar eminence

d)

articular surface of medial condyle

e)

articular surface of lateral condyle

8.

Identify #2? This is an area between the articular surface of the medial and lateral condyles. This structure includes a left and right tubercle, which resembles tiny devil horns, and fossae, to which the menisci and the cruciate ligaments attach.

a)

medial condyle

b)

lateral condyle

c)

intercondylar eminence

d)

articular surface of medial condyle

e)

articular surface of lateral condyle

9.

Identify #14? The top of these condyles have a concave surface, which you can see on the posterior view of the tibia. This is going to articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the femur (thigh) bone, forming the tibiofemoral joint.

a)

medial condyle

b)

lateral condyle

c)

intercondylar eminence

d)

articular surface of medial condyle

e)

articular surface of lateral condyle

10.

Identify #13? The top of these condyles have a concave surface, which you can see on the posterior view of the tibia. This is going to articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the femur (thigh) bone, forming the tibiofemoral joint.

a)

medial condyle

b)

lateral condyle

c)

intercondylar eminence

d)

articular surface of medial condyle

e)

articular surface of lateral condyle

11.

What bone is this?

a)

femur

b)

tibia

c)

fibula

d)

phalanges

12.

Identify #12? This forms the bony part of the outer (lateral) ankle. Like the medial malleolus, this articulates (forms a joint) with the talus bone of the foot (see foot bones) and allows for the attachment of ligaments. Although the fibula bone is smaller and thinner than the tibia, this structure of the fibula is larger than the medial malleolus of the tibia.

a)

lateral malleolus

b)

head

c)

medial condyle

d)

medial malleolus

13.

Identify #3? at the top (proximal) end of the fibula. This is going to articulate (form a joint) with the lateral condyle of the tibia bone, forming the proximal tibiofibular joint. It also provides attachment for the biceps femoris and fibularis longus, as well as various ligaments.

a)

lateral malleolus

b)

head

c)

medial condyle

d)

medial malleolus
