Humerus Flashcards
Which is the proximal end
This is the ball end
Which is the distal end
This is the fist end
Where is the head
The rounded part on the proximal end
Where are the necks both anatomical and surgical
Anatomical is the groove than encircles the articular surface of the head and surgical is under the tubercles
Where is the greater tubercle
This is the larger more posterior bump on the proximal end
Where is the lesser tubercle
The smaller blunt bump, next to but lower than the greater tubercle
Where is the intertubercular groove
This is the groove in-between the two tubercles
Where is the deltoid tuberosity
This is on the lateral surface of the shaft and is a small bump
Where is the deltoid tuberosity
This is on the lateral surface of the shaft and is a small bump
Where is the lateral epicondyle
This is the smaller lateral bulge of bone on the distal end
Where is the medial epicondyle
This is the bigger medial bulge of bone on the distal end
Where are the lateral and medial supracondylar ridges
This are found above their epicondyles
Where are the lateral and medial supracondylar ridges
This are found above their epicondyles
Where is the olecranon fossa
Big triangular depression on posterior side on distal end
Where is the trochlea
This is on the distal end and is the lowest/largest part of the fist
