The Appendicular Skeleton Flashcards
sternal end
end of clavicle, towards neck
clavicle
going from shoulder to neck, has an “S” curve
conoid tubercle
indent in the clavicle, towards the Acromial end, and lies on the scapular.
Acromial end
end of clavicle, towards the shoulder
scapula
shoulder blade bone
Glenoid cavity
under the coracoid process(part scapula that looks like folded dough), its cave-like
acromion
shoulder bone…distant part of the scapula
coracoid process
part of the scapula, looks like folded dough
spine
posterior view, outdent of scapula from Acromion to opposite side/ diagonal
suprascapula notch
indent next to coracoid process (folded dough)
supraspinous fossa
posterior superior to spine part of scapula
infraspinous fossa
posterior inferior to spine part of scapular
subscapular fossa
anterior part of scapula
medial border
anterior inner border…the bump on the edge on scapula
lateral border
anterior outer border…curve/slant on scapula
humerous
brachial bone (superior part the arm)
head of humerous
“ball like”, closest to shoulder, connects to scapular
greater tubercle
(anterior) left of head (humerous)
lesser tubercle
anterior) vein like to the head (humerous)
deltoid tuberosity
anterior, left bump on long part of humerous
trochlea
“spool like” attaches to the elbow
capitulum
anterior, on the trochlea left “ball shaped”
medial and lateral epicondyles
bump on left and right of spool (trochlea “elbow side on humerous”)
olecranon fossa
posterior cave above spool (trochlea “elbow side on humerous”)
coronoid fossa
anterior cave, above the spool (trochlea “elbow side on humerous”)
radial fossa
anterior cave, left of the coronoid fossa (elbow area of the humerous)
radius
Antebrachial (atomically position) outer bone
head of radius
at elbow, connects to the (trochlea) spool
radial tuberosity
bump facing the ulna under the head (part of the radius)
ulnar notch
notch at wrist of radius to attach to ulnar
