This article provides a comprehensive overview of the skeletal system, focusing on the pelvis, bones of the lower limbs, and joints. It includes detailed illustrations and information about gender differences in the pelvis, bones of the thigh, leg, and foot, as well as the formation of the foot's arches. The functional classification of joints and their important functions are also discussed.

  5. Bones of the Lower Limbs • The thigh has one bone • Femur – thigh bone Figure 5.24a–b

  6. Bones of the Lower Limbs • The leg has two bones • Tibia • Fibula Figure 5.24c

  9. Joints • Articulations of bones • Functions of joints • Hold bones together • Allow for mobility • Ways joints are classified • Functionally • Structurally

  10. Functional Classification of Joints • Synarthroses – immovable joints • Amphiarthroses – slightly moveable joints • Diarthroses – freely moveable joints
