*A&P 1 Unit 8 (Lab) [Skeletal System (Appendicular Skeleton)] Flashcards
Two bones of the shoulder girdle:
- Clavicle
- Scapula
Acromioclavicular Joint
The anterior coracoid process and the posterior acromion, forms a joint with the clavicle.

4 Regions of the Upper Limb
- Arm
- Forearm
- Wrist
- Hand
Number of Bones in the Arm
1 (Humerus)
Number of Bones in the Forearm
2 (the lateral Radius & the medial Ulna)
The articulation of the humerus and and the scapula.
At the proximal end of the humerus is a rounded head that fits into the glenoid cavity.
Which Forearm Bone is Lateral?
Radius
Which Forearm Bone is Medial?
Ulna
Proximal Radioulnar Joint
Proximally it consists of a radial hea that articulates with the ulna.
Distal Radioulnar Joint
The two bones also articulate at their distal ends.
Number of Bones in the Wrist
8 Short bones called carpals.
Names of the Bones in the Palm and Digits.
Metacarpals (I-V) [I starts at the thumb] & Phalanges (14)
Which Digit has only two phalanges?
The Thumb
Which digits have 3 phalanges each?
The second through the fifth digits.
What shape are the bones of the upper limb?
Long Bones
