Appendicular skeleton (Lab) Flashcards
Name of joint between clavicle and sternum
Sternoclavicular joint
Name of joint between clavicle and Acromion
Acromioclavicular joint
Where is the conoid tubercle
On the inferior lateral end of the clavicle
What is the spine of the scapula
The large posterior projection of the scapula
Where is the supraspinous fossa
superior to the spine of the scapula
Where is the infraspinous fossa
Inferior to the spine of the scapula
Where is the acromion
The lateral end of the spine on the scapula
What is the glenoid cavity
Where the humerus articulates with the scapula
Where is the coracoid process
It attaches superior to the glenoid cavity
Where is the subscapular fossa
The anterior side of the scapula
What is the head of the humerus
The large ball like part of the proximal end that articulates with the scapula
What is the shaft of the humerus
The long straight part of the bone
What is the anatomical neck of the humerus
The proximal part next to the head
What is the surgical neck
More inferior than the anatomical neck. Would be the place to cut the arm off
Where is the greater tubercle of the humerus
The lateral proximal end
Where is the lesser tubercle of the humerus
Directly medial to the greater tubercle. Its also smaller than the greater tubercle
Intertubercular groove (humerus)
In between the greater and lesser tubercles
Deltoid tuberosity
On the lateral end of the humerus where the deltoid attaches
Capitulum
On the anterolateral distal end of the humerus where the radius articulates
Trochlea
On the anterior medial distal end of the humerus where the ulna articulates
Lateral epicondyle (humerus)
Lateral prominence on the distal end of the humerus
Medial epicondyle (humerus)
Medial prominence on the distal end of the humerus
Radial fossa
just superior to the capitulum where the radius chills
Coronoid fossa
Just superior to the trochlea where the ulna chills sometimes.
Olecranon fossa
On the posterior side of the distal end of the humerus where the olecranon hooks in
Radial tuberosity
Bony prominence inferior to the head of the radius.
Styloid process of the radius
At the distal end of the radius it makes the bump on the lateral side of your arm that feels like a wrist bone
Ulnar notch
Where the ulna attaches to the radius on the distal end
Trochlear notch
Proximal end of the ulna attaches to the coronoid fossa of the humerus
Olecranon
Most proximal part of the ulna. looks like a hook and forms the elbow
Radial notch
Where the radius attaches to the ulna on the proximal end
styloid process of the ulna
At the distal end of the ulna on the medial side. Feels like a wrist bone.
illiac crest
Most superior portion of the pelvic girdle
Anterior superior iliac spine
The part that you think of when you think of your hip bones.
Posterior superior iliac spine
The end of the iliac crest on the back. Makes those dimples on your back
Auricular surface (Ilium)
Where the ilium articulates with the sacrum.
Ischial tuberosity
Bony part that you sit on.
Superior pubic ramus
The superior part of the bone that forms the circle that forms the obturator foramen
Inferior pubic ramus
The inferior part of the bone that forms the circle that forms the obturator foramen
Obturator foramen
The two smaller circles of the pelvic girdle
Acetabulum
The socket that your femur goes in. Means vinegar cup
Fovea
Small hole in the head of the femur where ligiments attach
Greater trochanter
on the lateral side of the proximal end of the femur.
Lesser trochanter
more medial than the greater trochanter. also smaller. duh
Linea aspera
ass line.
Medial/lateral condyles
on the distal end of the femur that articulate with the tibia
Intercondylar fossa
in between the medial and lateral condyles
Patellar surface
where the patella articulates with the femur
Medial/Lateral epicondyles (femur)
The the sides of the medial and lateral condyles of the femur
Apex
The inferior point of the patella
Base
The superior flat part of the patella
Articular surface of the patella
on the posterior side of the patella. The Lateral surface is larger
Medial/Lateral condyles (tibia)
On the proximal end of the tibia. Articulate with the femur
Intercondylar eminence
in between the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia gives support to the knee joint
Tibial tuberosity
on the anterior surface of the tibia. just inferior to the knee
Anterior crest
Shin
Medial malleolus
Large bony thing on the tibia that is misconceived as an ankle bone
Lateral malleolus
distal part of the fibula on the lateral side that is misconceived as an ankle bone
Talus
Most superior of the tarsals
Calcaneus
The heel
