Scapula- glenoid cavity
Forms shoulder joint with head of humerus landmark for auscultation lungs
Scapula- spine (spinous process)
Origin of deltoid; insertion of trapezius; origin of subscapularis
Scapula- suprascapular notch
route of suprscapular
Humerus
Upper extremity- upper arm
Humerus- capitulum
articulates with head of radius at elbow
Humerus- deltoid tuberosity
insertion of deltoid
Humerus- head
articulates with glenoid cavity of scapula at shoulder
Humerus- lateral epicondyle
too prominent to ignore
Humerus- medial epicondyle
route of ulnar
Humerus- trochlea
articulates with trochlear notch of ulna at elbow
Ulna
Bone in forearm- behind radius
Ulna- coroniod process
insertion of branchialia
Ulna- olecranon (or olecranon process)
insertion of triceps; point of elbow
Ulna- radial notch
forms proximal radioulnar joint with head of radius
Ulna- styloid process (of ulna)
landmark of medial aspect of wrist joint
Ulna- trochlear notch
articulates with trochlea of humerus at elbow joint
Radius
Bone in forearm- in front of Ulna
Radius- ulnar notch
forms distal radioulnar joint with head of ulna
Capals
Bones isn the wrist
Metacarpals
Bones in the hand
Phalanges
Bones in fingers (proximal, middle, distal phalanx)
Pelvic Girdle
Bones that hold the house the base of the spine
Coxal Bone
Hip bone
Coxal bone- acetabulum
socket of hip joint; articulates with femur, includes parts of all three of the following bones
Coxal bone- obturator foramen
landmark of distinguishing ilium, ischium and pubis
Coxal Bone- ala
“wings” of the ilium to which gluteal attach
Coxal Bone- Iliac crest
landmark for injections in gluteal- end of “wing”
Coxal bone- ischial spine
feature used in distinguishing male/female pelves- next to hole in hip coxal bone
Coxal bone- ischial tuberosity
origin of hamstring- knot of bone in front of hole in coxal bone.
Coxal bone- pubic symphysis
articulation of pubic bones with each other- where the two “wings” of coxal bone meet.
Pelvis
Inclues coccyx, sacrum, and both coxal bones
Pelvis- pubic arch
features used in distinguishing male/female pelvis
Patella
Knee Cap
Tibia
Shin bone
Tibia- intercondylar eminence
insertion of anterior cruciate
Tibia- condyles, medial and lateral
artiulate with medial and lateral condyles of femur; insertions of tibial and fibular collateral ligaments of knee; insertion of hamstring
Tibia-tibial tuberosity-
Insertion of patellar lig.
Tibial- medial malleolus
Medial “ankle bone”
Fibula
Smaller shin bone
Fibula- lateral malleolus
Forms distal tibiofibular joint with tibia; lateral “ankle bone”
Talus
Between fibula and calcaneous
Calcaneous
