Radial head articulates to the humerus
What surface features articulate with eachother in the radius and ulna?
Radius - articulates with the capitulum

What’s the difference between thumbs and other fingers?
The thumb only has proximal and distal phalanges while the others have the middle part too
What forms the carpal bones?
4 distal and 4 proximal bones
What bones make up the pelvic girdle, and what this articulate with?
Coxal bones make up the pelvic girdle and this articulates with the sacrum
What are the 3 fused bones of the Coxal bone?
Ilium, ischium and pubis
What surface feature does the acetabulum articulate with?
The head of the femur
What do the ischium and pubis form?
The obturator foramen, through which nerves and blood vessels pass through
What’s the obturator foramen?
Large hole in coxal bone
Describe ilium
Forms superior portion of Coxal bone and articulates with sacrum
What’s the smallest coxal bore?

What are the parts of the ischium?
Ischial body and ramus
What is the pubic symphysis made up of?
Connective tissue
What bone articulates with the calcaneus? (Heel)
The fibula
What surface feature does the tibia articulate with?
The head of the fibula
What articulates with the talus (ankle) ?
Tibia
What part of the femur articulates with the tibia?
The lateral and medial condyles, which form the knee joint.
what bone doesn’t contribute to the formation of the orbit?
temporal bone
What is ossification?
bone formation
What’s the difference between a full and partial girdle?
Full girdle articulates to the front and back, while the partial girdle only articulates to the front
What are the parts of the scapula?
The acromion, the body and the coracoid process
What indentation (surface feature) articulates with the ulna?
