What part of the femur articulates with the patella?

The patella has a configuration of a triangle with its apex directed inferiorly. Superiorly, it articulates with the trochlea, the distal articulating surface of the femur, which are the main articulating surfaces of the patellofemoral joint.

What connects occipital and temporal bones?

Which bone or bones does the patella articulate with?

femur
The patella, the largest sesamoid bone in the body, articulates only with the patellar surface of the distal femur (patellar notch). The patella rides in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris—the largest muscle of the thigh and the primary extensor of the knee.

What does the patella attach to?

The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the human body and is located anterior to knee joint within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle, providing an attachment point for both the quadriceps tendon and the patellar ligament.

What type of bone is the metatarsals?

The five metatarsals are dorsally convex long bones consisting of a shaft or body, a base (proximally), and a head (distally). The body is prismoid in form, tapers gradually from the tarsal to the phalangeal extremity, and is curved longitudinally, so as to be concave below, slightly convex above.

What bone is the scapula?

What are the five metatarsal bones?

The metatarsus has 5 main points of contact with the ground:
  • The 1st metatarsal head and two sesamoid bones.
  • The 2nd metatarsal head.
  • The 3rd metatarsal head.
  • The 4th metatarsal head.
  • The 5th metatarsal head.

Where is the 4th metatarsal bone?

The base is the part closest to the ankle and the head is closest to the toes. The narrowed part in the middle is referred to as the body or shaft of the bone.

What muscles attach to 1st metatarsal?

The tibialis anterior muscle inserts on the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal. The peroneus longus muscle inserts on the first metatarsal. The flexor hallucis brevis muscle divides into 2 bellies encasing the sesamoid bones and inserts on the base of the proximal phalanx.

Where is the first metatarsal joint?

The First Metatarsophalangeal joint is located at the base of the big toe. This joint helps with toe-off when walking. This is often the site of a bunion or arthritic changes within the joint.
