Teres major.
What attaches at the superior angle of the scapula?
Levator scapulae.
What structures are associated with the subscapular fossa of the scapula?
Fossa on the anterior scapula that holds the subscapularis.
What structures are associated with the supraspinious fossa of the scapula?
Fossa on the posterior surface that holds the supraspinatus.
What structures are associated with the infraspinous fossa of the scapula?
Fossa on the posterior surface that holds the infraspinous.
What attaches at the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula?
The long head of the biceps brachii.
What structures are associated with the suprascapular notch of the scapula?
The passageway for the suprascapular nerve.
What articulates at the head of the humerus?
The glenoid fossa of the scapula.
Where is a common site for fractures on the humerus?
The surgical neck.
What attaches at the lesser tubercle of the humerus?
The subscapularis muscle.
What attaches at the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus?
The deltoid muscle.
What attaches at the greater tubercle of the humerus? (3)
- Supraspinatus. 2. Infraspinatus. 3. Teres minor.
What attaches at the medial epicondyle of the humerus?
Muscles of the anterior forearm (flexors and pronator teres).
What structures are associated with the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus? What attachment sites are here? (2)
- The passageway for the tendon of the long head of the biceps. 2. Attachment sites for latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles.
What structures are associated with the radial groove of the humerus?
The radial nerve travels here to get through the posterior humerus.
What attaches at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus?
Muscles of the posterior forearm muscles (extensors and supinator).
What attaches at the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus?
Posterior forearm muscles.
What attaches at the medial supraconylar ridge of the humerus?
Anterior forearm muscles.
What articulates at the capitulum of the humerus?
The head of the radius.
What articulates with the trochlea of the humerus?
The ulna.
What structure is associated with the coronoid fossa of the humerus?
Space for the coronoid process of the ulna during elbow flexion.
What structure is associated with the radial fossa of the humerus?
Space for the radius during elbow flexion.
What structure is associated with the olecranon process of the humerus?
Space for the olecranon process of the ulna during elbow extension.
What articulates at the trochlear notch of the ulna?
The trochlea of the humerus.
What attaches at the olecranon process of the ulna?

What articulates at the radial notch of the ulna?
The distal head of the radius.
What articulates distally at the head of the ulna?
The radius with the carpal bones.
What attaches at the styloid process of the ulna?
A ligament of the wrist.
What articulates at the head of the radius?
The ulna and the humerus.
What attaches at the radial tuberosity of the radius?
