Lecture 4b Flashcards
Girdles
-bones that attach to theses limbs to axial skeleton
-allows for movement
pelvic girdle and the pectoral girdle
Articulate
-form a joint
Pectoral girdle
- comprised of the clavicle and the scapula
- allows for high degree of movement
Clavicle
- collar bone
- āSā shaped long bone
- contains an acromial and sternal end
Acromial end
articulates wit the acromion of scapula
Sternal end
articulates with the sternum
Scapula
-shoulder blade
-broad triangular shape
Posterior: spine
Posterior and lateral: acromion
Anterior: coracoid process (acromion and coracoid process extends over the shoulder blade
Glenoid cavity: articulates with the proximal head of the humerus
Upper limbs
Humerus-brachium Radius and ulna- antebrachium 8 carpal 5 metacarpal 14 phalanges
Humerus Proximal features
Head- articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula
Anatomical and surgical necks
Greater and less tubercles-site of rotator cuff muscles
Intertubercle sulcus-passage for bicep brachii and ligament and tendon attachment
Humerus intermediate features
- shaft
- deltoid tuberosity= site of deltoid attachment (to move your arm)
Humerus Distal features
medial and lateral epicondyle
capitulum-articulates with the radius (CAR)
trochlea-articulates with the ulna (TAU)
Humerus Distal fossae
Radial fossa: lateral depression and accommodates for the head of radius (anterior)
Coronoid fossa: medial depression and accommodates the coronoid process of the ulna (anterior)
Olecranon fossa: largest fossa and accommodates the olecranon process (posterior)
Antebrachium
anatomical position: radius-lateral ulna-medial -connected by the interosseus membrane -radio-ulnar joint= movement
Radius proximal features
Head: articulates with the capitulum of the humerus (CAR)
Radial tuberosity: attachment of bicep brachii
Radial distal features
Radial styloid process- lateral wrist bump
Ulnar notch- medial dent for the head of the ulna
Ulna proximal features
Trochlear notch: for the trochlea of humerus
Olecranon: elbow bump, attachment of tricep brachii and articulates with the olecranon fossa
Coronoid process: inferior lip of the trochlear notch and articulates with the coronoid process
Radial notch: lateral and accommodates with the head of the radius
Ulna distal features
ulnar styloid process: posteromedial wrist bump
Head: knoblike end
Bones of the hand
8 carpal
5 metalcarpal
14 phalanges
Lower appendicular skeleton
consists of the pelvic girdle and the lower limbs
-important for movement
Pelvis
- contains a right os coxae and a left os coxae
- sacrum
- os coxae
- coccyx
Os Coxae
- āhip boneā
- contains 3 bones
1. ilium
2. pubis
3. ischium - fuse together during puberty
Os Coxae articulations
Sacroiliac joint: posterior articulation with the sacrum
Acetabulum: lateral articulation with the femur
Pubic Symphysis: anterior articulation of the other os coxae
