Upper Limb Bones

humerus

Bone located in the upper arms. Extends from the elbow to shoulder

radius

Bone in forearm "on the thumb side", larger in the proximal forearm.

ulna

Inner and larger bone of the forearm, attached to the wrist and located on the side of the little finger.

Carpals

Bones of the wrist

"She looks too pretty, try to catch her."

Scaphoid lunate triquetrum pisiform,

trapezium trapezoid capitate hammate

metacarpals

Bone of the hand between the wrist and each finger

phalanges

Finger Bones

pollex

Thumb; only proximal and distal phalanges

lesser tubercle

a small rounded anterior projection found medial to the greater tubercle, just distal to the anatomical neck

greater tubercle

Large projection on the lateral edge of the epiphysis of the humerus, forming the lateral margin of the shoulder; attachment site for supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles.

deltoid tuberosity

The rigid portion along the anterior shaft of the humerus, to which the shoulder muscle attaches

capitulum

Condyle at the distal, lateral end (round) of humerus.

trochlea

medial epichondyle

-Prominent ridge on the (distal) medial part of humerus

lateral epicondyle

Lateral bump on distal end of humerus

olecranon fossa

Large depression on the posterior & inferior part of the arm, in which the ulna fits upon elbow extension (when the arm is straightened)

head of humerus

Ball on the top of humerus connecting it to shoulder

radial tuberosity

Bump or process under head of radius

head of radius

at the proximal end of the radius near the elbow joint. Disk-shaped head

styloid process of radius

Large distal projection on lateral side of radius

radial notch

depression on proximal end where head of radius articulates with ulna

olecranon process

projection at the upper end of the ulna that forms the bony point of the elbow

trochlear notch

the deep fossa that receives the trochlea of the humerus during elbow flexion

styloid process of ulna

A prominent knob on distal end of posterior ulna

coronoid process

Bottom part of Trochlear notch on ulna
