Lab Final (ID) Flashcards
Medial / Lateral Malleolus
Ankle bones
Lesser tubercle of humerus
Find greater tubercle, flex bicep and try to find where the tendon goes between them. Lesser is anterior
Acromion process of the scapula
Bony point on the shoulder joint where the clavicle and the scapula meet
Palmaris Longus
Big ole tendon in the middle of the wrist
Originates at the common flexor tendon/medial epicondyle and ends at the palmar aponeurosis
11th Rib
Lateral to the umbilicus
Zygomatic Bone
Also known as the Cheekbone
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Flexor / anterior (anatomical)
Runs from the MEDIAL side across the arm to the base of the 2/3 Metacarpal - this is the big wrist tendon closer to the thumb (abduct and flex wrist)
Biceps Femoris
Lateral Hamstring.
Located posterior, from the Ischial tiberosity to the head of the Fibula.
Tibialis Anterior
The shin splint muscle. runs from the lateral condyle of the tibia, then all the way along the tibia until connecting at the medial cuneiform/base of first metatarsal on the dorsal side of the foot.
This is the big meaty tendon at the top of the foot.
Radial Artery
Thumb side
Triceps Brachii
Elbow exension, back of arm

Muscle of mastication the runs from the temporal bone to the mandible (under the zygomatic)
Cuboid
Lateral side of foot, just proximal to the tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal
AIIS
Harder to palpate than the ASIS,
Find by using the tendon of the Rectus Femoris that originates there by flexing the hip joint.
Pubic Crest
Center of the anterior pelvis, where the two hip bones meet at the pubic symphyses
Calcaneous
Heel bone
Acromialclavicular Joint
Where the shoulder and clavicle meet
Scaphoid
Basically where i have the ganglion cyst problem but i have no idea how to really find the hand bones
Medial and Lateral Condyle Femur
Where the tibia and femur articulate at the knee - can be hard to feel where they start/end
Ischial Tuberosity
Aka sit bone
Located posteriorly on the pelvis, where all of the hamstrings originate, can be palpated by extending hip and following them
Navicular
Medial side of the foot, follow the line from the medial malleoulus, to the talus to the Navicular (and just past it the medial cuneiform)
Deltoid
Shoulder cap
Greater tubercle of the humerus
Lateral side slide off the shoulder while moving arm,
Coronoid process of Mandible
The second madible process that’s harder to get to, have to open the mouth and then slide from the TMJ to it
Quadratus Lumborum
Muscle, connecting to the last rib and transverse process of 1-4 lumbar vertebrae and originating at the Posterior Iliac Crest
Piriformis
Tough one to palpate.
One of the lateral rotators of the hip. Goes from the Anterior surface of the sacrum to the superior greater trochanter (deep to the glute max)
Vastus Lateralis
The lateral quadricep - only muscle on the lateral thigh, running from the Lateral lip of linea aspera, gluteal tuberosity and greater trochanter all the way to the tibial tuberosity
Latissimus Dorsi

Note: in the book it has one for Extensors (posterior/dorsal) and Flexors (anterior/palmar)
Calcaneal Tendon
Achilles Tendon
Medial Cuneiform
Just past the navicular on the medial side of the foot (the fourth bony landmark)
Extensor Pollicis Longus
and
Extensor Pollicis Brevis
This is your anatomical snuff box
Brevis - outside
Longus - inside
Temporal Bone
this is not where you think it is - basically think of your ear and this is the superior part that surrounds it - Mastoid process is on the temporal bone
Fibular head
The lateral / outside of the knee
Sacral Foramina
Top of Sacrum is medial to the two PSIS
working slowly it’s possible to feel the small indentations of the sacral formina
Iliotibial band
Runs along the lateral side of the leg - likely tight tendon, running all the way to it’s connection at the small Tensor Fascia Latae muscle at the iliac crest
If can’t find it, abduct and medially rotate the flexed hip.
Tibial tuberosity
Boney landmark at the anterior, proximal of tibia (just below patella)
Temporalmandibular Joint
TMJ - Just anterior to the earflap
Sternocleidomastoid
Muscle that goes from the sternum/clavicle to the mastoid process
Xiphoid Process
Sits at the bottom of the sternum between the ribs.
ASIS
Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
Aka the hip bone that protudes
Sphenoid bone
Mostly in the head, but accessible just to the side of the eye and above the Zygomatic bone
(this isn’t the temple - that’s actually further back than I thought)
Angle of mandible
The bottom angle of the jaw
Rectus Femoris
The large center muscle of the Quadriceps running from the AIIS to the Tibial tuberosity
Peroneus Longus
Peroneals are also know as “fibularis” — so it starts at the head of the FIBULA and runs laterally all the way under the foot connecting to the base of the 1st metatarsal
and are responsible for everting and plantar flexion (pointing)
Patellar Ligament
Soft part between the patella and the tibial tuberosity
Olecranon Process
Bony part of the elbow
Jugular Notch
On the Superior part of the Manubrium
(Center of upper chest)
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
This one is the pinky side flexor tendon and just runs from the flexor tendon to the Pisiform
Lateral and Medial epicondyle of humerus
Lateral, thumb side
Medial, pinky side
Sternoclavicular Joint
Where the sternum and clavicle meet
Semitendinosus
&
Semimembranosus
Medial hamstrings running from ischial tuberosity posteriorly to the medial side of the tibia (tendinosus at the PAT)
Tendinosus is superficial to the membranosus
Brachioradialis
Pronation and Supination assist
Mostly it is the “hammering” muscle, responsible for elbow flexion
Lateral “supracondylar ridge of humerus” to the styloid process of the Radius.
This is the muscle on me that is always tender
Glute Maxiumus
Posterior, largest most superficial musclearcoss the entire edge of sacrum, iliac crest to the IT tract and gluteal tuberosity of the Femur
Sartorius
Originates at the ASIS and goes all the way to the pes anserine tendon on the medial shaft of the Tibia
Forms an important border to the Femoral triangle, with the adductor longus and Inguinal ligament - where the femoral artery, nerve, veins etc are.
Longest muscle in the body
Extensor Digitorum
REMEMBER IF THERE IS NO BREVIS OR LONGUS THIS IS IN THE ARM NOT THE LEG.
Meaty muscle on the top of the arm (posterior) with visible tendons on the top of the hand.
Tibial Crest
Sharp boney crest along the anterior tibia - tibialis anterior
Greater Trochanter
The large bony landmark at the top of the Femur.
Inferior to the Iliac Crest, move knee laterally to feel femur moving in the joint to make sure
Rectus Abdominus
Aka your six pack.
Originates at the xiphoid process and inserts at the pubic symphyses. Lateral edges can be felt ~4 cun from umbilicus
Masseter
Muscle of mastication that runs from zygomatic to the body and ramus of the mandible
Gastrocnemius
Calf muscle
Anterior and Posterior
Axillary Fold
Armpit in the front and back
Extensor hallucis Longus
Extends the big toe starting on the anterior part of the middle fibula and running to the distal phalanx of first toe
Head of the Ulna
Not where you think it is (that’s the olecranon process)
The head is on the pinky side, there are two bony marks, the more proximal is the head of the ulna, the other is the styloid proces of the ulna
Styloid process of radius and Ulna
Wrist - but don’t get the ulna confused for the head of the ulna which is more proximal
The Radius has only one that you feel (and the head is on the proximal side, not confusing at all!)
2nd Intercostal Space

(p289)
Extensor Digitorum Longus
FOOT - not to be confused with the CARPIs in the arm
Between the tibialis anterior and lateral peroneal muscles - partially superficial, but is 4 tendons are most visible running along the top of the foot - held in place by the Extensor Retinacula across the ankle crease
Scalenes
Finding the traps and sternocleidomastoid the scalenes are accessible at the bottom in the window where they connect to the first and second ribs
Coracoid process
Medial to the greater tubercle of the humerus and below the clavicle
Cubital Crease
Elbow crease
Vastus Medialis
