Question 5

Answer 5

The manus (or hand)

Question 6

The longest and largest bone of the upper limb

Answer 6

The humerus

Question 7

The humerus articulates ______ with the scapula and ______ distally at the elbow with both the radius and ulna

Answer 7

proximally ; distally

Question 8

Rounded ______ articulates with glenoid fossa of scapula

Answer 8

head

Question 9

Lateral projection distal to the neck and site of muscle attachment-bony!

Answer 9

Greater tubercle

Question 10

For muscle attachments

Answer 10

Lesser tubercle

Question 11

A rough area on the shaft that is the insertion for the deltoid muscle

Answer 11

Deltoid tuberosity

Question 12

A later condyle is shaped somewhat like a wide tire that articulates with head of radius - lateral elbow bump

Answer 12

Capitulum

Question 13

A medial condyle is pulley-like and articulates with ulna

Answer 13

Trochlea

Question 14

Immediately proximal to these condyles, the humerus flares out to form two bony processes, the lateral and medial epicondyles - attachment of forearm muscles. The medial epicondyle protects the ulnar nerve, which passes close to the surface; this epicondyle is popularly known as the “funny bone.”

Answer 14

Lateral & Medial epicondyles

Question 19

_____ ______ and ________ _______ articulate with the Humerus

Answer 19

Question 20

______ ______ with radius

Answer 20

radial notch

Question 21

_________ _________ forms point of elbow

Answer 21
