The Clavicles
Figure 82b, c
The Scapulae
Also called shoulder blades
Broad, flat triangles
Articulate with arm and
collarbone
Anterior surface-subscapular fossa
Structures
Body
Sides
superior border
medial border (vertebral border)
lateral border (axillary border)
Corners
superior angle
inferior angle
lateral angle
Head
Holds glenoid cavity
Which articulates with humerus to form shoulder joint
Scapular spine:
ridge across posterior surface of body
Separates 2 regions:
supraspinous fossa
infraspinous fossa
Humerus-arm
The long, upper armbone
Articulates with the pelvic girdle
Structures
Proximal Epiphysis
separated by intertubercular
groove:
greater tubercle:
lateral
forms tip of shoulder
lesser tubercle:
anterior, medial
Head:
rounded, articulating surface
contained within joint capsule
Neck:
Anatomical neck- margin of joint
capsule
Surgical neck: the narrow
metaphysis
Shaft
Deltoid tuberosity:
a bulge in the shaft
attaches deltoid muscle
Radial groove:
for radial nerve
posterior to deltoid tuberosity
Distal Epiphysis
Medial and lateral epicondyles:
for muscle attachment
With radius
articulates with head of
radius
forms proximal
radioulnar joint
Ulnar head:
prominent styloid
process
attaches forearm to
wrist
The Forearm-antebrachium
Consists of 2 long bones: ulna & radius
Ulna
Articulations
With humerus
Forearm extended:
olecranon (elbow
point) enters
olecranon fossa
Forearm flexed:
coronoid process
enters coronoid fossa
Radius
Articulations
Ulnar notch:
distal end
articulates w/ wrist & radius
Styloid process:
stabilizes wrist joint
Wrist
8 carpal bones:
allow wrist to bend and twist
4 proximal carpal bones
Scaphoid bone: near styloid process
Lunate bone: medial to scaphoid
Triquetrum: medial to lunate bone
Pisiform bone: anterior to triquetrum
Hands
5 Metacarpal Bones
Phalanges
Pollex (thumb):
2 phalanges (proximal,
distal)
Fingers:
3 phalanges (proximal,
middle, distal)
Marks
Obturator foramen:
formed by ischial and pubic rami
attaches hip muscles
Pubic symphysis:
gap between pubic tubercles
padded with fibrocartilage
The Pelvis
Perineum region:
False pelvis
Childbearing Modifications
Femur
Lower Limbs
Structures
Proximal Epiphysis
Femoral head:
articulates with pelvis at
acetabulum
Neck
narrow area between
head & trochanters
Shaft
Linea aspera:
most prominent ridge of shaft
attaches hip muscles
Distal Epiphysis
Medial & lateral epicondyles:
above the knee joint
Patella - kneecap
A sesamoid bone
Base attaches quadriceps
femoris
Apex attaches patellar
ligament
Tibia
Structures
Proximal Epiphysis
Medial and lateral tibial
condyles
articulate with medial & lateral
condyles of femur
Tibial tuberosity: attaches
patellar ligament
Shaft
Anterior margin: sharp ridge of
shinbone
Distal Epiphysis
Fibula
Fibula/tibia articulations:
head
inferior tibiofibular joint
Interosseous membrane:
binds fibula to tibia
Lateral malleolus:
lateral projection of ankle
Ankle - tarsus
Figure 814a
Feet
5 metatarsal bones
long bones of foot
numbered IV, medial to lateral
Articulate with toes
phalanges
bones of the toes
hallux: big toe, 2 phalanges
(distal, proximal)
Other 4 toes: 3 phalanges
(distal, medial, proximal)
