largest carpal bone
capitate
gen classified as proximal, middle and distal
phalanges
most lateral bone in the proximal row of carpal
scaphoid
art w/ tibia and fibula
talus
located in prox row of carpals: its name indicates that it is three cornered
triquetrum

8.1 pect girdle attaches?
the pect girdle attacjes the upper limb and axial skeleton
8.2 weakest part of clavicle is
the midregion at the junction of two curves
what forms highest point of shoulder
acromion of scapula
number of bones each upper limb has
30
radius and ulna articulates at wlbow with?
- radius: capitulum and radial fossa of humerus
- ulna with trochlea, coronoid and olecranon fossa of humerus
what is the ‘elbow’ part of ulna/
olecranon
what form prox and distal radioulnar joints and connects the two?
radius and ulna, connected by interosseous membrane
most frq. fractured bone in wrist bone
scaphoid
what attaches lower limbs to axial skeleton and supports the backbone and pelvic viscera?
bony pelvis
what art with hip bone?
- femur art. w/ acetabulum of teh hip bone
- the sacrum art with the articular surface of the hip bone
where does baby head descends during child birth?
pelvic axis through pelvis
number bones each lower limb
30
why is angle of convergence fo femur greater in female
bc femal pelvis is broader
the patella is classified as sesamoid bc
it develops in a tendon ( the tendon of the quadraceps femoris muscle off the thigh)
what is the weight bering bone of the leg?
tibia
the only tarsal bone thata art. with the tibia and fibula
talus
why are arches not rigid?
they yeild when weight is applied and spring back when weight is lifted, allowing them to absorb shock of walking
most of skeletal system arises from
embryonic mesodern
