direct cartilage connection to sternum
false ribs ( 8-10)
indirect cartilage connection (hop onto 7th rib)
floating ribs (11-12)
no cartilage connection. Function: protect kidneys
manubrium (sternum)
superior bone in sternum
angle sternum
manubrium + body of sternum
xiphoid process sternum
inferior part of sternum

scapula spine
on posterior surface
supraspinous fossa (scapula)
superior to the spine
infraspinous fossa (scapula)
inferior to the spine
subscapular fossa (scapula)
anterior surface of scapula
scapula
has acromion, coronoid process, & glenoid cavity
glenoid cavity
lateral

anterior
spine of scapula
posterior
arm proper (brachial region)
proximal. The humerus
forearm ( antebrachial region)
radius (lateral) ,& ulna (medial)
carpal region
contains 8 small bones (short bones)
metacarpal region
contains 5 bones in the palm
head of humerus
medial & articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula (ball & socket)
greater and lesser tubercles of humerus
greater→lateral to humeral head. Lesser→anteriorly (small bones)
intertubercular sulcus
between tubercles. Accommodates tendons of biceps muscle
capitulum of humerus
articulates with head of radius. Lateral condyle → articular surface (forms joint)
trochlea of humerus
articulates with ulna (medial)
olecranon fossa
Posterior pit that accommodates olecranon process of ulna when elbow is extended
radius
lateral bone of the forearm (radius goes to the thumb when anatomical position)
head of radius
articulates with capitulum on humerus. Radial notch on ulna
radial tuberosity
attachment site for bicep muscle
ulna
medial bone of the forearm (ulna goes to the pinky when anatomical position)
trochlear notch of ulna
C-shaped depression (hook-like) that articulates with trochlea of humerus
olecranon of ulna
elbow → olecranon fossa of humerus
coronoid process of ulna
anterior lip of trochlear notch
radial notch
accommodates head of radius
styloid process of ulna
distal end (head) has a bony point
interosseous membrane (IM)
between bone that attaches ulna and radius
carpal bones in wrist
8 carpal bones
scaphoid bone (carpal bone)
thumb side (curved bone)
pisiform (carpal bone)
pinky side (lateral) larger bump on pinky
capitate bone ( carpal bone)
center, largest bone
hamate bone (carpal bone)
medial to pisiform

lateral
sternal ends ( clavicle)
medial (toward mid-line)
