Chapter 8, Problem 2TYC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The similarity and differences between the calcaneus bone of a cat or dog and a woman wearing high-heeled shoes.
Introduction:
Calcaneus bone is the largest tarsal bone that forms the heel of the foot. Tarsals are like carpal bones of the wrist and are involved in bearing the load of the body and maintaining an upright posture of the human body.

Students have asked these similar questions
By palpating the hind leg of a cat or dog orexamining a laboratory skeleton, you can see that cats and dogs stand on the heads oftheir metatarsal bones; the calcaneus does not touch the ground. How is this similar to the stance of a woman wearing highheeled shoes? How is it different?
The hand and foot are structurally similar in many ways; they also show clear differences in structure related to their different functions. Describe the structural features of the foot that are clearly related to its weight-bearing and locomotory functions.
Why would we expect a male and female pelvis to be different?
Why would it be problematic for the female coccyx to curve into the pelvic outlet?
What does the head of the femur articulate with?
What is the point of reference on the lower extremity for determining proximal versus distal position?
What muscle would you guess inserts in the gluteal tuberosity?
What does “linea aspera” mean?
What bone do the medial and lateral condyles of the femur articulate with?
What shape synovial joints is formed at the articulation of the femur with the patella?
What is the function of the medial malleolus?
What kind of joint (structurally and functionally) is the knee joint?

- BONES OF THE PECTORAL GIRDLE The two pectoral girdles, right and left, provide attachment sites for muscles of the shoulder and brachium. Each pectoral girdle consists of a scapula, or shoulder blade, and a clavicle, or collar- bone. Clavicle: A slender, double-curved bone that attaches the upper limbs to the axial skeleton. It includes the following features: ● Sternal end: the blunt, medial extremity, which articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. Acromial end: the slightly flattened lateral extremity, which articulates with the acro- mion of the scapula. Scapula: A triangular bone with projections for muscle attachment. It contains many features, which include: Spine: the narrow ridge on the posterior side. Acromion: a flattened, prominent process at the lateral end of the spine. = Coracoid process: a beak-like process superior and medial to the glenoid cavity (corac = crow + -oid = resemblance to).
