Human Anatomy: Appendicular Skeleton

Clavicle

Sternal Extremity

Rounded end that attaches to sternum

Acromial Extremity

Flattened end that attaches to scapula

Scapula

Acromian Process

The larger of the two projections on the side

Caricoid Process

The smaller of the two projections on the scapula

Glenoid Fossa

Spot where arm attaches

Subscapular Fossa

Hollow on the other side of the scapula

Spine

Prominent ridge along the back of the bone

Infraspinous Fossa

Hollow below the spine

Supraspinous Fossa

Hollow above the spine

Humerus

Head

The rounded part, sits in the glenoid fossa

Greater Tubercle

Bump distal to the head

Lesser Tubercle

Bump anterior to side

Deltoid Tuberosity

Bump in the middle of the bone (deltoid muscle attaches here)

Trochlea

"Hourglass" like thing. Ulna sits here

Olecranon Fossa

Back side, elbow notch (big cavity)

Medial Epicondyle

Projection on side by the trochlea (big elbow bump)

Radius

Thumb side

Styloid Process

Pointy thing at distal end of bone (medial wrist bump)

Ulna

On pinky side

Trochlear Notch

Curved area between two processes, inside "c"

Olecranon Process

Proximal end of bone, big part of "c"

Radial Notch

Rounded out notch that is lateral & inferior to the trochlear

Carpals

(8) Wrist bones

Metacarpals

(5) Long bones after the wrist

Phalanges

(14/hand) Bones of the fingers

-Proximal

-Middle (except thumbs)

-Distal

Clavicle

The only bony attachment from your arm to your body is the:

Shoulder joint

This joint is a very loose joint because the head of the humerus is loosely attached to the glenoid cavity (unlike the hip joint)

Your radius flips over on top of your ulna

Where you rotate your forearm...

(Os Coxa) Pelvic Girdle

Fusion of 3 bones (illium, ischium, pubis)

Ilium

Upper large flared-out part

Iliac Crest

Posterior part of the ilium that sticks out

Iliac Fossa

Medial & inferior to the iliac crest

Greater Sciatic Notch

On the posterior side under the iliac crest

Sacroiliac Joint

Between sacrum and illium

Acetabulum

Big hollow area where femur fits in

Ischium

Ischial Tuberosity

Lateral to the obturator foramen

Obturator Foramen

Big hole in hip

Pubis

Pubic Symphysis

Where hip bones connect

Femur

Head

Big round part

Neck

Constricted area below head

Greater Trochanter

Big thing that sticks out near head

Lesser Trochanter

Smaller thing that sticks out

Medial Condyles

Round thing on proximal end

Lateral Condyles

Round thing on proximal end

Patellar Surface

Area above and between condyles

Patella

Knee bone

Tibia

On medial side of body, "shin bone"

Tibial Tuberosity

On the front, bump that holds patella

Medial Malleolus

"Ankle bump" on inside of leg, sticks out at distal end of tibia

Fibular Notch

Little indentation opposite medial malleolus, where fibula sits

Fibula

On lateral side of body, smaller

Lateral Malleolus

Outer ankle bump, distal end of fibula (pointy end)

Tarsals

(7) Ankle bones

Calcaneous

Heel bone

Talus

Other big bone

Metatarsals

(5) Long bones after the ankle

Phalanges

(14/foot) Bones of the feet

-Proximal

-Middle (except big toe)

-Distal

Os Coxa

This bone is made of three bones fused together

Femur

The longest and strongest bone in the body is...

Fibula

Non-weight bearing bone is...
