Chapter 8, Problem 40CTQ
The talus bone of the foot receives the weight of the body from the tibia. The talus bone then distributes this weight toward the ground in two directions: one-half of the body weight is passed in a posterior direction and one-half of the weight is passed in an anterior direction. Describe the arrangement of the tarsal and metatarsal bones that are involved in both the posterior and anterior distribution of body weight.

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.
The human foot is similar to the human hand, but does have anatomic differences. Describe two of these differences, and explain how they are related to the physiology of the hand and the foot.

- Name and describe the arrangement of the bones of the arm (between the scapula and the carpal bones, not including the scapula or carpal bones) and the bones of the leg (between the hip bone and the tarsal bones, not including the hip bone or tarsal bones). You should of course use anatomical position as the reference point. And you should be using the appropriate anatomical directional terms.arrow_forwardIn addition to the tuberosity, what other feature of the tibia can you use to help determine if it is from the left side or the right side of the body?

- Passive Range Of Motion (related to joints) is usually greater than active range of motion, and active range of motion usually decreases sooner than passive Range Of Motion . Based on what you have learned about the factors that determine joint ROM, why do you think both of these statements are true?arrow_forwardWhich of the following compartments of the upper limb in the image provided act to flex or extend the joints that they cross?arrow_forwardBy palpating the hind leg of a cat or dog or by examining a laboratory skeleton, you can see that cats and dogs stand on the heads of their metatarsal bones; the calcaneus does not touch the ground.

- JL, a 50-year-old woman, fell and broke the left tibia at the ankle. She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to be immobilized. The leg hurts and she notes that the ankle is red and swollen. A diagnosis of a simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made. What is the rationale for immobilizing the fractured bone? Include in your explanation a discussion of why movement of the affected area is painful. She is told to come back to the fracture clinic in 24 hours to have her cast checked. What could happen to the inflamed tissue if the edema increases in the casted area? What warning signs and symptoms will you look for?arrow_forwardIf your foot is planted and immoveable (think lug-soled boot on a muddy trail), and you are hit from behind (think mountain biker out of control), which knee ligament is more likely to be torn...the anterior cruciate ligament or the posterior cruciate ligament? Explain your answer in detail, and in particular, how the impact affects the relative movements of femur and tibia and why the ligament you chose is stretched to the breaking point by this motion. Think and explain carefully...this stuff is confusing.arrow_forwardWhat structures enter into the formation of the carpal joint in the following animals: Horse - Ox - Goat - Pig -arrow_forward
- A man bends backward to stretch his back after a long day's labour. Which of the following features is characteristic in the thoracic vertebral column with this movement? Select one: a. Interspinous ligaments are stretched b. Intervertebral disc spaces are widened posteriorly c. Anterior longitudinal ligament is stretched d. Posterior longitudinal ligament is stretched e. Spines are separated far away from each otherarrow_forwardWhen the shoulder joint dislocates, it most commonly dislocates posteriorly, meaning that the joint capsule tears on the posterior side and the head of the humerus pushes partly out through the capsule. Why do you think the posterior capsule more commonly tears? (HINT: Consider the structure of the capsule and look at the ligaments of the shoulder joint.)arrow_forwardIn the ligaments and Joints of the Head of the dog, what components of a diarthrodial joint did you observe in the temporomandibular joint?arrow_forward
