Elbow Joint

ByDr.Arati Gameti

The elbow joint is a complex hinge-type synovial joint that connects the upper arm to the forearm. It plays a critical role in the movement and function of the arm, enabling activities such as lifting, pushing, pulling, and fine motor skills. This essential joint supports the range of motions required for daily tasks, involving bending the forearm (pronation and supination) and bending and straightening the arm (extension). The arm’s ulna, radius, and humerus. The elbow joint is classified as a synovial joint in terms of structure. Introduction These joints, which unite the upper arm to the forearm, are called elbows. The skeletal system includes every joint in your body, including your elbows. Elbow joints fall under the structural category of synovial joints. This vital joint allows the perform various motions necessary for daily tasks, such as rotating the forearm (pronation and supination) and bending and straightening the arm (extension).

Metatarsal Bones

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

Introduction The metatarsals are the cylinder-shaped bones that make up the foot’s core. They are designated numerically and begin from the medial side outward. Letters one through five correspond to the metatarsal bones. The phalanges and tarsals are split by these bones. The bases of every single bone are going to relocate in tandem with…

Phalanges of Foot

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

Phalanges of the foot are tiny fingerbones located in the feet. Each foot consists of 14-foot phalanges. The large toes or hallux have two phalanges the proximal and distal, whereas the others have three: proximal, middle, and distal. For individual toes, the metatarsal-phalangeal articulation binds the metatarsals to the proximal phalanx. These joints are what…

Cuneiform Bone

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

The cuneiform bones, also known as ossa cuneiform in Latin, are a set of three tarsal bones positioned within the first three metatarsals and the proximal navicular bone. The cuboid bone is found with the lateral cuneiform bone on the exterior. The medial side of each foot contains three cuneiform bones. These cuneiform bones work…

Navicular Bone

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

The navicular Bone, also called the nevicular bone, is a tiny, boat-shaped bone found in the foot. Human feet are constructed of 26 bones and 33 distinct joints. Seven tarsal bones, including this form the ankle and foot. The navicular bone is a wedge-shaped structure. It is seen within the central area of the upper…

Calcaneus (Heel Bone)

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

The calcaneus (heel bone) is the largest tarsal bone in the foot. It works as the foundation of the rear part of the foot, forming the heel. The calcaneus plays a crucial role in weight-bearing, shock absorption, and foot mechanics during walking, running, and standing. Structurally, it articulates with the talus above (forming the subtalar…

Talus Bone

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

Introduction The talus bone, also known as the ankle bone, is a critical structure in the human foot that plays a pivotal role in mobility and weight-bearing. The talus bone’s typical form allows it to align with the shin and calf bones, the tibia, and the fibula, to comprise the ankle joint. It facilitates fluid…

Cuboid Bone

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

Introduction The cuboid bone is a cube-shaped tarsal bone located in the foot, playing a crucial role in the structure and function of the lateral arch. Situated on the outer side of the foot, it connects with the calcaneus (heel bone) posteriorly and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones anteriorly. It is a component of…

Tibia (Shinbone)

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

The tibia is the body’s second-lanthiest bone. It has an impact on your balance, gait, and standing posture. Tibias normally break only after significant injuries, such as car accidents. You are more likely to have unnoticed fractures, though, if osteoporosis has weakened your bones. What is the Tibia (Shinbone)? Anatomy of the Tibia The proximal…

Femur (Thighbobe)

ByDr.Krupa Goriya

Overview The femur, often known as the thighbone, is the most powerful and longest bone in the human body. Your thigh comprises just one bone, the femur. It affects how you stand, walk, and maintain equilibrium. It is common for femur bone to break only after experiencing substantial trauma, like an automobile collision. However, if…
