Homework Chapter 3 Flashcards
The lateral border of the scapula is inferior to the glenoid fossa
F, the lateral border of the scapula is actually located inferior to the glenoid fossa
The capitulum of the humerus is distal to the shoulder joint
T, the capitulum of the humerus is distal to the shoulder joint
The fifth digit of the hand is the only one without a middle phalanx
F, the thumb, not the fifth digit (pinky finger), is the only finger on the hand that lacks a middle phalanx
The carpals are bones that form the palm
F, the bones that form the palm of the hand are called metacarpals, not carpals
The medial malleolus of the tibia can be palpated on the medial side of the elbow
F, the media malleolus of the tibia is not located near the elbow. It is a Bony Prominence found on the inner side of the ankle, part of the distal end of the tibia(Shin Bone). The elbow is part of the upper limb, whereas the tibia is a bone of the lower limb.
The pelvic girdle is comprised of the clavicle and the scapula
F, the clavicle and scapula make up the shoulder girdle (or pectoral girdle), not the pelvic girdle
The head of the ulna is distal to the elbow joint
T, the head of the ulna is located at the distal (far) end of the ulna bone
The supraspinous fossa of the scapula is found on the anterior surface
F, the supraspinous fossa of the scapula is found on the posterior surface of the scapula, not the anterior surface
The supraspinous fossa of the scapula is found on the posterior surface of the scapula, not the anterior surface
T, the supraspinous fossa of the scapula is located on the posterior surface of the scapula, not the anterior surface
The calcaneus forms the heel of the foot
T, the calcaneus, also known as the heel bone, forms the heel of the foot
The most proximal end of the fibula is the lateral malleolus
F, the most proximal end of the fibula is actually the fibular head (or “head of the fibula”), not the lateral malleolus, which is located at the distal end of the fibula
The radial bone articulates with the capitulum of the humerus, while the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus
T, the radial bone (radius) articulates with the capitulum of the humerus, while the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus, forming the elbow joint
The tibia articulates distally with the talus
T, the tibia articulates distally with the talus at the ankle joint
The deltoid tuberosity is found on the
humerus
The lateral end of the clavicle articulates with the
the acromion of the scapula
The _________________ border of the scapula is closest to the vertebral column
Medial Border
At the shoulder joint, the head of the humerus articulates with the scapula at the
glenoid fossa
In anatomical position, the _________________ is the most lateral bone in the leg
fibula
When you sit cross-legged for a while on a hard surface, your “rear end” hurts because you have been distributing weight directly over your bony _________________ tuberosities.
ischial
The head of the femur has a(n) _________________ , from which a ligament extends that attaches to the inner surface of the acetabulum.
ischiofemoral
When resting your hands on the hips they are sitting on what structure?
When resting your hands on your hips they are sitting on your illiac structure. This is the curved upper part of the pelvis.
Which abnormal spinal curvature results in a hunchback appearance?
Kyphosis
