Bones/Overview/4 Bones Unit LS12/5

Bones/Overview/Begin

This unit has been significantly revised from old design plan (new grouping of screens, slight text revisions on most screens, etc.) So read carefully for edits.

[Animation (2-3 seconds): 4 bones of knee joint (blue bones effect?) begin as tiny spinning dot, (spinning like a clock vs. rotating); image gradually zooms into view and slows, stopping to show all four bones. (Note: LO is to graphically capture/focus student's attention and excite them vs. to each anatomy.)]

This unit is an overview of the four bones of the lower limb that contribute to the formation of the knee joint: the femur, the tibia, the fibula and the patella.

By the end of this unit, you should be able to:

- List and describe the four bones that participate in forming the joints at the knee.

- Describe the location and orientation of the four bones in relation to one another.

Bones/Overview/The Femur

The femur participates in the knee joint and extends from the hip to the knee. It is the longest bone in the body and a major weight bearing bone.

Locate and identify the femur in the anatomy presented.

[Graphic: Explore the anatomy button]

Notice the relationship of the femur to the other bones of the knee.

IAA

Frontal view of 4 bones; zooms to femur; other bones disappear; rotates femur 360.

Change to 2 IAA's

1st IAA: Frontal view of 4 bones + pelvic bones (to show hip joint). Rotates 360.

2nd IAA: Frontal view of 4 bones; femur highlighted (to match text color) and other bones become semi-transparent (you can see through them, but still see that they're there vs. they become invisible and disappear.)

"femur" text (in red above) matches femur color in 2nd IAA

When students click on structure in1st IAA, structure name appears in text field.

Bones/Overview/The Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is a large weight bearing bone, located on the anterior and medial side of the leg. Its proximal end articulates with the femur, it’s distal end participates in the ankle joint.

The fibula is a thin bone which has no weight bearing function. It is located to the lateral side of the tibia.

Locate and identify the tibia and the fibula in the anatomy presented.

[Graphic: Explore the anatomy button]

Notice the relationship of the fibula and the tibia to the other bones of the knee.

IAA

Frontal view of 4 bones; zooms to tibia; other bones disappear; rotates tibia 360. Same for fibula.

Change to 2 IAA's:

1st IAA: Frontal view of 4 bones + foot bones (to show ankle joint). Rotates 360.

2nd IAA: Tibia and Fibula highlighted in separate colors (to match text colors) and other bones become semi-transparent (you can see through them, but still see that they're there vs. they become invisible and disappear.)

"tibia" and "fibula" text (in red above) matches separate tibia and fibula colors in 2nd IAA

When students click on structure in1st IAA, structure name appears in text field.

Bones/Overview/The Patella

The patella is a small triangular shaped bone, located anterior to the femur. When the leg is extended the inferior tip of the patella is located at the level of the knee joint.

[Graphic: Explore the anatomy button]

Notice the relationship of the patella to the other bones and how this relationship changes in the flexed and the extended positions.

2 IAA's

lst IAA: Frontal view of 4 bones; zooms to patella; other bones disappear; rotates tibia 360. Same for fibula.

2nd IAA: Frontal 4 bones; zooms to patella; rotates to show rxs, bending, and straightening slightly; zooms back out, flexes and extends, unending repitition.

Change to:

1st IAA: Frontal view of 4 bones. Rotates 360.

2nd IAA: Keep existing, only highlight patella to match text color and make other bones semi-transparent (to be consistent with previous IAA's)

"patella" text (in red above) matches structure color in 2nd IAA

When students click on structure in1st IAA, structure name appears.

Bones/Overview/The Human Knee

Study the images of different animal knees below. Observe the similarities, then apply your knowledge and distinguish the human knee from the others.

Bones/Overview/The Human Knee

Like the human knee, all the animal knees presented contain a femur, patella, tibia and fibula. The differences in the particular shapes and the proportions of these bones reflect each animal's mode of locomotion.

[Frog knee graphic with bones labeled] Frogs have very long leg bones that allow them to jump.

[Horse knee graphic with bones labeled] Horses have powerful hind limbs for running and supporting weight

etc. Anatomists to write text for additional animal knee graphics

And finally, the bones of the human knee are specifically designed for our bipedal locomotion.
