A cricket player is fast chasing a ball in the field. Which one of the following groups of bones are directly contributing to this movement?
A. Femur, malleus, tibia, metatarsals
B. Pelvis, incus, patella, tarsals
C. Sternum, femur, tibia, fibula
D. Tarsals, femur, metatarsals, tibia
Solution
Bones protect the body's various organs, generate red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide the body with structure and support, and allow mobility. Our hind limb is this collection of the provided bones and therefore they engage directly in chasing the ball.
Complete answer:
Intuitively, this action involves the movement of the legs or the lower limbs in the human body while a cricket player is moving quickly in search of a ball in the field. The lower limb includes 30 bones, including the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges. The Femur is our body's longest and strongest bone. In order to shape the hip joint, it articulates with the hip bone acetabulum. The tibia is the medial bone of the leg which is thicker than the fibula and is the primary weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. The tarsal bones shape the back portion of the foot of each of the seven bones. The metatarsal bones form the back portion of the foot of each of the five elongated bones of the midfoot.
The correct answer is D-"Tarsals, femur, metatarsals, tibia."
Note: 1) The majority of the hind bones that form the hind limb are: The kneecap is the patella. It articulates with the bone of the distal femur. The thin bone found in the lateral leg is the fibula. -Foot phalanx bones: each of the 14 small bones in the toes. A shinbone is also called the tibia.
2) The human body's lower limb consists of three regions: Thigh (a part of the lower limb between the hip and the joint of the knee), leg (precisely the area between the joint of the knee and the joint of the ankle), foot (distal to the ankle).
