25
false ribs and floating ribs
- floating ribs don't have cartilage attached to sternum, act as muscle attachment points - false ribs are joined to a common piece of cartilage first before joining to sternum.
26
thoracic cage- tubercle
articulates with transverse process of vertebrae.
27
pectoral girdle
shoulder girdle that attaches upper limbs to axial skeleton
28
clavicle
medial end (cone shaped) joins the manubrium, the distal end (flattened) joins to the scapula at acromion
29
pectoral girdle- acromion
posterior and is a continuation of the scapula. articulates with the acromial end of clavicle
30
scapula
shoulder blades
31
supra and infraspinous fossa on scapula
ditch on bone just above and below the spine of the scapula, visible from posterior view
32
coracoid process on scapula
anterosuperior finger-like projection
33
glenpid cavity- scapula
the head of the humerus fits in here
34
Humerus
upper arm bone
35
humerus- medial and lateral epicondyles
- medial epicondyle aka funny bone | - situated near the trochlea where the humerus connects to the elbow joint.
36
humerus- capitulum
lateral, ball-like structure articulates with head of radius
37
humerus- trochlea
anteromedial hourglass shape that is tipped on its side, articulates with ulna
38
Ulna
longer than the radius, forms elbow joint with humerus
39
ulna- olecranon process
elbow 'point'
40
ulna- trochlea notch
articulates with trochlea of humerus
41
ulna- radial notch
articulates with head of radius
42
radius head
articulates with capitulum of humerus
43
Radius- radial tuberosity
biceps muscle anchors here.
44
radius- carpal articular surface
articulates with carpal bones.
45
carpal bones
wrist bones
46
hip bones/ pelvic girdle
ilium
47
hip bones/ pelvic girdle- ilium
superior region of hip bones (R-shape)
48
pelvic girdle- ischium
inferior part of hip bones (U-shape)
49
pelvic girdle- pubis
anterior (X-shape)
50
Pelvic girdle- pelvic brim
imaginary circular line cutting from superior pubic crest to sacrum
51
pelvic girdle- acetabulum
articulate with femur
52
pelvic girdle- obturator foramen
opening for vessels and nerves
53
femur- greater and lesser trochanters
attachment for thigh and buttock muscles
54
femur- medial and lateral condyles
distal/posterior wheel like structures that articulate with the tibia (shin bone)
55
femur- medial and lateral epicondyles
attachment points for muscles
56
femur- patellar surface
smooth surface anteriorly between condyles for patella
57
tibia- medial and lateral condyles
articulate with femur
58
tibia bone is
the larger of the two lower leg bones
59
tibial tuberosity- tibia
attachment for patellar ligament
60
tibia- medial malleolus
inner bulge of ankle
61
appendicular skeleton
upper and lower limbs, girdles (shoulder and hip bones), make up 126 bones
