1. Which part of the tibia is the lateral condyle located?

Explanation

The lateral condyle of the tibia is the rounded projection on the outer side of the upper end of tibia bone, while the medial condyle is on the inner side. The fibular notch is located on the lateral side of the tibia where it articulates with the fibula. The intercondylar eminence is the raised area between the two condyles.

Skeletal Anatomy Of The Tibia, Fibula, Ankle And Foot - Quiz

Skeletal anatomy of the tibia, fibula, ankle and foot as required by Athabasca University's BIOL235 Chapter 8 Appendicular skeleton.

2. What part of the tibia is this?

Explanation

The correct answer is the medial condyle of tibia, which is one of the two bony prominences at the upper end of the tibia. It is important for knee joint stability and articulation.

Submit
3. What is the name of the bony protrusion on the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches?

Explanation

The tibial tuberosity is the bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches, providing stability to the knee joint. The fibular head is a small bony prominence on the lateral aspect of the tibia. The medial malleolus is the bony prominence on the inner side of the ankle. The lateral condyle is the rounded projection on the outer side of the knee joint.

Submit
4. What is the name of this part of the tibia?

Explanation

The correct answer refers to the bony prominence on the inner side of the ankle, known as the medial malleolus of the tibia. The incorrect answers are actually different anatomical structures located in the leg and hip.

Submit
5. What is the specific name of this part of the fibula?

Explanation

The head of the fibula is the proximal end of the bone, while the distal end is known as the lateral malleolus. The shaft of the fibula refers to the long portion of the bone between the head and the lateral malleolus.

Submit
6. Which bone in the tarsal region is commonly referred to as the ankle bone?

Explanation

The talus is also known as the ankle bone, as it plays a crucial role in the ankle joint's movement and stability. While the calcaneus is the heel bone, the navicular and cuboid are also tarsal bones but not commonly referred to as the ankle bone.

Submit
7. Which tarsal bone is commonly known as the 'cuboid'?

Explanation

The cuboid is one of the seven tarsal bones in the human foot. It is located on the outer side of the foot, near the middle.

Submit
8. Which tarsal bone is this?

Explanation

The navicular is a tarsal bone located on the inside of the foot, next to the talus. The calcaneus is the heel bone, the talus is the bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint, and the cuboid is a tarsal bone on the outer side of the foot.

Submit
9. What is the name of this bone?

Explanation

The correct name for the bone in question is the medial cuneiform bone, which is located in the foot. The femur, scapula, and tibia are bones found in other parts of the body and do not refer to the bone in the image.

Submit
10. What is the name of this bone?

Explanation

The intermediate cuneiform bone is one of the tarsal bones in the foot, specifically located between the medial and lateral cuneiform bones. The femur bone is a bone in the thigh, the carpal bones are in the wrist, and the scapula bone is in the shoulder blade, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
11. What is the lateral cuneiform bone called?

Explanation

The lateral cuneiform bone is found in the foot and is one of the seven tarsal bones.

Submit
12. What are the bones in the foot called?

Explanation

Metatarsal bones are the long bones in the foot that connect the tarsal bones to the phalanges. They help to support the weight of the body and provide leverage for movement.

Submit
13. What are the bones in the fingers and toes called?

Explanation

The phalanges are the bones in the fingers and toes, while metacarpals are in the hand, tarsals are in the ankle, and fibulae are in the lower leg.

Submit
14. What is the bone in the big toe called?

Explanation

The bone in the big toe is called the hallux, not the calcaneus, metatarsal, or phalanges.

Submit
15. Which foot arch is known as the medial longitudinal arch?

Explanation

The medial longitudinal arch is the arch that runs along the inner side of the foot, providing support and flexibility.

Submit
16. Which foot arch is this?

Explanation

The foot arch shown in the question is the lateral longitudinal arch, which runs along the outer edge of the foot. The medial longitudinal arch runs along the inner edge of the foot, the transverse arch runs across the foot, and the metatarsal arch is not a commonly recognized arch in the foot.

Submit
17. Which foot arch is the transverse arch?

Explanation

The transverse arch runs across the width of the foot and is responsible for distributing weight and supporting the foot's structure.
