Acromion process
Where on the body is the coracoid process?
Across the acromion process on the scapula
Where is the glenoid fossa?
Between the acromion and the coracoid processes on the scapula, the glenoid fossa is a round flat area on the lateral surface; it is where the humerus articulates with the scapula to form the shoulder joint
Name the notch along the superior border of the scapula
The suprascapular notch
The spine of the scapula is found on the _____ surface
Scapula spine is on the dorsal surface
Where is the intertubercular sulcus?
Near the head of the humerus in the upper arm; between the greater and lesser tubercles
Name the two ‘neck’s of the humerus
The anatomical neck which is just below the head, and the surgical neck, which is between the epiphysis and the diaphysis of the humerus
Where is the deltoid tuberosity?
On the lateral surface of the humerus’ diaphysis
The distal end of the humerus; which side (posterior or anterior) has the depression?
The posterior of the distal end of the humerus has a depression
What joint in the skull is the only one that moves?
The joints between the mandible and the temporal lobe

26 total; Cervical (neck; 7 vertebrae); Thoracic (chest; 12 vertebrae); Lumbar (lower back; 5 vertebrae); Sacrum (1 vertebra); Coccyx (tailbone; 1 vertebra)
Where on the radius is the radial tuberosity?
Just inferior to the neck of the radius
Name the projection on the distal end of the radius
The styloid process (same name as ulna)
What is the name of the C-shaped notch beside the olecranon process on the superior end of the ulna?
The trochlear notch
Name the projection on the distal end of the ulna
The styloid process (same name as radius)
Are the olecranon process and the head of the ulna found on the same or opposite sides?
Opposite sides; the olecranon process is superior to the head of the ulna

The ulna is closest to the pinky
Which finger is the radius closest to?
The radius is closest to the thumb
What are the 3 types of fibrous joints in the body?
Sutures (only skull) , syndesmoses (ie between ulna+radius), and gomphoses (mainly teeth)
What kind of cartilage covers each opposing bone surface in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage covers opposing bone surfaces in a synovial joint
What is a bursa?
A bursa is a flattered disc filled with synovial fluid that cushions the impact of certain joints in the body
What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints in the body?
Sympheses and synchondroses
What is the name of the hole in the cranium where the spinal cord enters?
