For the sake of simplicity we will not address the bones of the ankle and paw in our study of the hindlimb and
girdle. As you study these bones pay special attention to the manner in which they articulate and the range of
motion that is possible. Surfaces or processes where major muscles attach to the skeleton have been identified.
Learning the names of these surfaces/processes may make it easier to learn the muscles.
