Bones + Reference Points

Question 1

Scapula (it’s parts - spine, coracoid process, acromion)

Answer 1

Shoulder bone - the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone)

spine of scapula
– above is supra spinous fossae and below is infra spinous fossae

coracoid process
– still apart of the scapula. use fingers in the hallow in the divit of the clavicle)

acromion
– continuation of scapula

Question 2

CLAVICLE

Answer 2

or collarbone, is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum (breastbone). There are two clavicles, one on the left and one on the right. The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally.

AC joint (connects clavicle to scapula)

Question 3

STERNUM

Answer 3

or breastbone is a long flat bone located in the central part of the chest. It connects to the ribs via cartilage and forms the front of the rib cage, thus helping to protect the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels from injury.

Question 4

HUMERUS (notes on greater, lesser tuberosity, glenoid fossae)

Answer 4

the long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow also known as adele. It connects the scapula and the two bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna, and consists of three section:

greater tuberosity - top of humerus - lateral to bicipital groove

lesser tuberosity is medial to the bicipital groove

Glenoid fossae (where the head of the humorous connects to scapula)

Question 5

Radius

Answer 5

lower arm - thumb up to ceiling radius is on top

Question 6

Ulna

Answer 6

lower arm - Thumb up, the ulna is on the bottom

Question 7

CARPALS

Answer 7

the eight small bones that make up the wrist (or carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm.

Question 8

ILIUM

Answer 8

is the uppermost and largest part of the hip bone

Question 9

Iliac Crest

Answer 9

is the most prominent part of the ilium, the largest of the three bones that make up the bony pelvis or hip bone. It is the curved part at the top of the hop that sits close to the skin and forms the wing-like part of the pelvis on which a person will sometimes rest their hands

Question 10

ASIS (boney front hip bones)

Answer 10

The anterior superior iliac spine (abbreviated: ASIS) is a bony projection of the iliac bone and an important landmark of surface anatomy. It refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis, which provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, and the sartorius muscle.

Question 11

PSIS (boney nobs lateral to the sacrum)

Answer 11

located on the back, just above the buttock. It can usually be seen and felt under the indents just above the buttock. The dimples.

Question 12

ISCHIUM: ischial tuberosity (sitting bones)

Answer 12

the curved bone forming the base of each half of the pelvis - forms the lower and back part of the hip bone (os coxae). Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of these three bones whose fusion creates the hip. The superior portion of this bone forms approximately one third of the acetabulum.

Question 13

PUBIS (pubic bone)

Answer 13

A Large Bone Supporting the Hip and Lower Extremities
The pubis , also known as the pubic bone, is located in front of the pelvic girdle. … The two halves of the pubic bone are joined in the middle by an area of cartilage called the pubic symphysis.

The pelvis connects to the sacrum (coxyx on the bottom)

Question 14

SACRUM: SI (sacrac iliac joint) a little movement

Answer 14

sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.

Question 15

ACETABULUM

Answer 15

connects femur to pelvis - hip joint - the socket of the hipbone, into which the head of the femur fits.

Question 16

FEMUR (notes on greater and lesser trochanter)

Answer 16

is the only bone located within the human thigh. It is both the longest and the strongest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee.

greater trochanter (go to widest part of the hips - in line with the public bone, top of femur, lots of attachments here) lesser trochanter (barely below public bone, deep through the abductors, back inner portion of femur on the top)

Question 17

PATELLA

Answer 17

the kneecap, is a flat, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.

Question 18

Tibia

Answer 18

The tibia is the bone that forms the shin and is the larger of the two lower-leg bones. The top of the tibia connects to the knee joint and the bottom of the tibia connects to the ankle joint.

Question 19

Fibula

Answer 19

the long, thin and lateral bone of the lower leg. It runs parallel to the tibia, or shin bone, and plays a significant role in stabilizing the ankle and supporting the muscles of the lower leg. Compared to the tibia, the fibula is about the same length, but is considerably thinner

Question 20

Tarsels

Answer 20

a set of seven irregularly shaped bones. They are situated proximally in the foot in the ankle area. Metatarsals – connect the phalanges to the tarsals
