A broad accumulation of stratified drift deposited adjacent to the downstream edge of an end moraine is a(n) ________. During the most recent ice age, glaciers covered about ________ percent of Earth's land area. The most abundant chemical sedimentary rock is ________.
The distal end of the femur articulates with the tibia in the lower leg and the patella or knee cap. The tibia below does not articulate with the patella. Between the condyles is the patellar surface that articulates with the patella or knee cap. These landmarks are important attachments for ligaments and muscles which will be discussed later in this unit. Another important anatomical component of the knee are the menisci.
It is smaller than andlateral to the tibia.- The fibula articulates with the tibia at the head, and at the inferiortibiofibular joint, and is bound to the tibia by the interosseous membrane.- The lateral projection at the ankle is the lateral malleolus. Figure 8-14a â¢ The ankle (tarsus) consists of 7 tarsal bones.1.t is smaller than andlateral to the tibia.- The fibula articulates with the tibia at the head, and at the inferiortibiofibular joint, and is bound to the tibia by the interosseous membrane.- The lateral projection at the ankle is the lateral malleolus.
