clavicle: collar bone
what does the scapula articulate with?
clavicle: acromioclavicular joint
humerus: glenohumeral joint
what does the clavicle articulate with?
the clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum and forms sternoclavicular joint
what does the humerus head articulate with?
the glenoid cavity of the scapula: glenohumeral joint
what is the proximal end of the ulna called?
olecranon: the elbow
how many carpal bones are there and which one is the one that has the most fractures?
8 carpal bones, scaphoid is most common wrist bone that gets fractured
the pelvic girdle is formed by?
2 coxal bones
what is the pelvis formed of?
coxal bones, sacrum, and the coccyx
what are the parts of the coxal bone?
ilium, ischium, and pubis
ilium contains?
acetabulum, iliac crest, and the greater sciatic notch
acetabulum is for?
acetabulum is the socket for the head of the femur

whats the joint that joins the ilium to sacrum?
sacroiliac joint
pubis contains the?
obturator foramen and the pubic symphysis
obturator foramen?
largest foramen in body, provides passage for blood vessels and nerves
pubic symphysis?
joins the coxal bones anteriorly

7 tarsal bones
talus, calcaneous
talus: ankle bone
calcaneous: heel bone
what are 3 visible differences between male and female pelvis?
obturator foramen for female is more oval but male is more round, the pelvic inlet for female is oval and wide but male is narrow and heart shaped, and the pubic arch for female is more than 90 degree angle but for male its less than 90 degree angle
fibrous joints information and subtypes?
dense irregular connective tissue, no articular cavity
sutures, syndesmoses
sutures?
only found between bones of the skull.
thin layer of connective tissue and are immoveable.
syndesmoses subtypes?
interosseous ligament, interosseous membrane, and gomphosis
interosseous ligament?
the distal ends of the tibia and fibula are joined by interosseous ligament: slight movement.
interosseous membrane?
sheet of dense irregular connective tissue joining two long bones. slight movement
gomphosis?
cone shaped joint between the teeth and mandible and maxilla
