osseous anatomy Flashcards
pectoral girdle contains:
- scapula
- clavicle
arm contains:
humerus
forearm contains:
- radius
- ulna
hand contains:
- carpals
- metacarpals
- phalanges
connects scapula to sternum
clavicle location
- connects scapula and upper limb to axial skeleton
- covers and protects neuromuscular bundle
- transmits physical force from upper limb to axial skeleton
clavicle functions
- most commonly fractured bone
- first bone to begin ossification / last to complete
clavicle
blunt/thick
clavicle sternal end
flattened
clavicle acromial end
smooth = attachment site for SCM
superior shaft of clavicle
rough
inferior shaft of clavicle
plane joint
acromioclavicular joint
connects clavicle with coracoid process of scapula
coracoclavicular ligement
coracoclavicular ligament contains
- trapezius ligament
- conoid ligament
connects acromical process and acromial end
acromioclavicular ligament
connects coracoid and comical process
coracoacromial ligament
saddle joint
sternoclavicular joint
connects surfaces of sternum and clavicle
sternoclavicular ligament
connects sternal ends of clavicle
interclavicular ligament
connects sternal end of clavicle to 1st costal cartilage
costoclavicular ligament
posterior to thoracic cage
scapula location
- connects humerus to clavicle
- provides a stable base from which glenohumeral mobility occurs
scapula functions
