Introduction The vertebral column, also known as the spine or backbone, is a crucial structure that provides support and protection to the spinal cord while allowing for movement and flexibility. The vertebral section consists of roughly 33 vertebrae that are separated by intervertebral circles. Each of the five distinct regions of the column is distinguished…
Introduction The hard system of the thoracic pit is known as the ribs. All vertebrates are curved, narrow, and flat strips of bone. The rib cage is formed by attaching it dorsally to the vertebrae and ventrally to the breast bone (sternum). In the human body, the rib confine is a bin-like construction that is…
Introduction The sternum is the centrally located anterior portion of the chest wall and is a partially T-shaped vertical bone. There are three anatomical divisions in the sternum: the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. The anterior rib cage’s costal cartilage connects the sternum to the ribs. The xiphoid process is the narrower distal segment that…
Introduction A triangular-shaped, flat bone at the front of the knee joint is the patella, also known as the kneecap. It serves as a point of attachment for the quadriceps muscle group, which is responsible for straightening the knee. The apex, one of several bony landmarks on the patella, is the pointed end of the…
Introduction The foot is a complicated structure that includes more than 26 bones, 30 joints, various ligaments, tendons, and muscles liable for our capacity to stand upstanding, supporting the heaviness of the whole body and giving the base to the system for bipedal stride. The hind, middle, and forefoot of the foot are the divisions…
Introduction Tarsal bones are a group of seven small bones located in the ankle joint of the human body. They are responsible for supporting the weight of the body and facilitating movement. The tarsal bones include the talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiform bones (medial, intermediate, and lateral). The talus bone is the highest…
Introduction On the lateral side of the tibia is the fibula, a long bone in the lower extremity. The tibia is thicker and much smaller than the fibula. It begins at the knee joint just behind the tibial head and continues laterally down the leg until it reaches the ankle joint. The interosseous border connects…
Introduction Your shinbone is called the tibia. It is an essential component of your capacity to stand and move, and it is the second longest bone in your body. Numerous essential muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments are supported by your tibia. Your tibia usually breaks from severe trauma, like a fall or car accident, because…
Introduction The longest, most oblong, and strongest bone in the human body is the femur. The spherical head at the apex and the cylindrical shaft at the base are joined at the proximal end by the pyramid-shaped neck. Additionally, two primary bony protrusions connect to the forces that move the hip and knee: the larger…
Introduction The hip bone, also known as the coxal bone or innominate bone, is a large, flat bone that forms the pelvis, which is the bony structure that supports the torso and connects the lower limbs to the body. The hip bone consists of three fused parts: the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis. The…
