Skeletal System Anatomy Flashcards
Label the bones of the skull and face
attaches the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
Pectoral (shoulder) Girdle
Collar bone
Clavicle
which bone of the body is most easily broken?
clavicle
attaches to the manubrium
sternal (medial) end of the clavicle
attaches to the scapula
Acromial (lateral) end of the clavicle
Shoulder blade
Scapula
Connects to the clavicle
acromion process of the scapula
Point of muscle attachment for the biceps brachii muscle
coracoid process of the scapula
point of muscle attachment for the scapula
Spine of scapula
A shallow socket that recieves the head of the humerus bone
glenoid cavity
attaches the lower limbs of the axial skeleton
Pelvic (hip) girdle
What does the bony pelvis consist of?
two hipbones + sacrum + coccyx
consists of three bones and is know as the coxal bone? What are the three bones it consists of?
hipbone, ilium, ischium, pubis
superior region of the hipbone
ilium
what are the 4 parts of the ilium?
iliac crest, sacroiliac joint, greater sciatic notch, ischial spine
thick superior margin of the ilum
iliac crest
Joint connecting the ilium to the sacrum bone
sacroiliac joint
posterior-inferior region of the hipbone
ischium
anterior-inferior region of the hipbone
pubis
blood vessels and nerves from the pevic cavity to the leg run through this foramen
obturator foramen
deep hemispherical socket of the hipbone that receives the head of the femur
acetabulum
fibrocartilage joint that holds the hipbones together anteriorly
pubic symphysis
a v-shaped arch that differs in male and female
Pubic Arch
Which bone makes up the thigh?
femur
Which bones make up the leg?
tibia and fibula bones
Which bones make up the foot?
tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
Fits into the acetabulum of the hipbone
head of femur
weakest part of the femur; common fracture site
neck of femur
Points of muscle attachments of femur
greater and lesser trochanters, lateral and medial epicondyles
articulate with the tibia bone below
lateral and medial condyles
“shine bone” located on the medial side of the body, larger bone
tibia
articulate with the femur above
lateral and medial condyles
forms the inner bulge of the ankle
medial malleolus
a roughed protrusion; the patellar ligament attaches here
tibial tuberosity
located on the lateral side of the body, thin bone
fibula
forms the outer part (lateral bulge) of the ankle
lateral malleolus
“kneecap” enclosed within the quadriceps tendon (stretch reflex)
patella
ankle bones
tarsals
” heel bone” achilles tendon attaches here
calcaneous bone
attaches to the tibia and fibula
talus
lateral side; near pinky toe
cuboid
medial side; near big toe
navicular
foot bones? toes?
metatarsals, phalanges
