A

Upper limb

28
Q

Region between the shoulder and
the elbow. It contains the humerus.

Arm (brachial)

29
Q

connecting the upper arm to the forearm. It is classed as a hinge- type synovial joint which allows flexion and extension

A

Elbow joint

30

A

Radius

33
Q

short region between the forearm and the hand.

A

Wrist carpal

34
Q

Consist of 8 irregular bones arranged in two rows of four
bones each and form a light curvature (carpal tunnel)

A

Wrist carpal

35
Q

The skeleton of the hand includes the Palm (Metacarpals) and Fingers (Phalanges)

A

Hand

36
Q

They are numbered 1 to 5 from the thumb (lateral
side) to the little finger (medial side)

A

Hand

37
Q

Each finger is composed of three small bone
named as proximal, middle, and distal phalnx
according to their position. The thumb has two
phalanges, proximal and distal.

A

Phalanges

38
Q

Attach to the carpal and forms the bony framework of
the hand. The ends or heads of the five metacarpals
forms the knuckles.

A

Metacarpals

39
Q

Attaches lower limb to the axial skeleton

Pelvic girdle

41
Q

Each coxal bone is formed by 3 fused bones

A

Tibia

52
Q

A sticklike bone with slightly expanded
ends. Not for weight bearing, but for muscle
attachment

A

Fibula

53
Q

The skeleton of the foot includes the tarsals, metatarsal bone and phalanges of the foot and are arranged and numbered in a manner similar to the metacarpal and
phalanges of the hand
