what are the features of the clavicle?
- sternal end
- acromial end
- conoid tubercle
- thicker end
- joins with the manubrium
- box like
sternal end
- looks like a spoon
- thinner, more flat
- joins with scapula
acromial end
- small bony protrusion off of the inferior side
- near the acromial end
- posterior and points inferiorly
conoid tubercle
- collar one
- smaller, curved long bone
clavicle
- shoulder blade
- large and triangular
scapula
what are the features of the scapula?
- spine
- acromion process
- coracoid process
- suprascapular notch
- superior and inferior angles
- supraspinous fossa
- infraspinous fossa
- subscapular fossa
- glenoid fossa
- supra/infra glenoid tubercles
large upraised bony process off of the posterior side
spine of the scapula
- bony process at the tip of the shoulder
- off of the spine
acromion process of the scapula
- smaller process
- anterior to the acromion process
coracoid process of the scapula
small indent along the superior border of the scapula
suprascapular notch of the scapula
- where superior and medial borders meet
- where medial and lateral borders meet
superior and inferior angles of the scapula
smooth surface superior to the spine of the scapula
supraspinous fossa of the scapula
smooth surface inferior to the spine
infraspinous fossa of the scapula
smooth surface that makes up the anterior side
subscapular fossa of the scapula
- lateral side
- round/oval
- smooth
- inferior to the acromion
glenoid fossa of the scapula
- at the top and bottom of the glenoid fossa
- small bumps
supra/infra glenoid tubercles of the scapula
long bone in the upper arm
humerus
what are the features of the humerus?
- head
- greater tubercle
- lesser tubercle
- intertubercular groove
- deltoid tuberosity
- medial and lateral epicondyles
- trochlea
- capitulum
- coronoid fossa
- radial fossa
- olecranon fossa
- large, rounded
- proximal end
- medial side
- joins with glenoid fossa
head of the humerus
- larger, more rounded
- lateral (directly across from) the head
greater tubercles of the humerus
- smaller tubercle of humerus
- more anterior
lesser tubercle of the humerus
shallow groove between the greater and lesser tubercles
intertubercular groove of the humerus
- rough raised portion of the humeral shaft
- antero-lateral side
- 1/3 of the way down
deltoid tuberosity of the humerus
