Exam #2 Flashcards
The medial clavicle articulates with the
manubrium of the sternum
What is the single articulation of the UE to the axial skeleton?
the medial clavicle to the manubrium
The lateral clavicle articulates with the
acromion process of the shoulder
What makes up the glenohumeral joint?
the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula
The distal humerus articulates with the
proximal ulna and radius
What specifically articulates with the humerus and the ulna?
the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna
What specifically articulates with the distal humerus and proximal radius?
The capitulum of the humerus and the radial head of radius
Where do the radius and ulna articulate with each other?
proximally and distally and via the interosseous membrane
what makes up the primary wrist joint?
The articulation of the distal radius, the scaphoid, and the lunate
T or F, the ulna does not articulate with the carpal bones?
T
Name the proximal row of carpal bones from lateral to medial
scaphoid,
lunate,
triquetral,
pisiform
Name the distal row of carpal bones from lateral to medial
triquetrium,
trapezoid,
capitate,
hamate
the distal carpals articulate with the
adjacent metacarpals in the carpometacarpal or CMC joints
adjacent carpals also articulate with each other at
inter carpal joints
metacarpals articulate with the
proximal phalanges of digits 1-5
