Clavicle: acromial end

Articulates with the scapula

Clavicle: sternal end

Attaches to sternum

Clavicle: conoid tubercle

Ligament attachment site

Scapula: coracoid process

Muscle attachment

Scapula: glenoid cavity

Socket for humerus

Scapula: suprascapular notch

Passage for nerves

Humerus: head

Fits into glenoid cavity of scapula

Humerus: capitulum

Articulates with the radius

Humerus: trochlea

Articulates with trochlear notch of ulna

Humerus: deltoid tuberosity

Attachment site for deltoid muscle

Humerus: radial groove

Indicates pathway of radial nerve

Ulnar + radial styloid processes

Attachment for wrist ligaments

Radius: radial tuberosity

Bicep tendon attachment

What joint is the articulation of radius and ulna at?

Proximal and distal radioulnar joint

What joint connects the ilium to the sacrum?

Sacroiliac joint

Coxal: ischium tuberoisty + ischium spine

• Tuberosity: bears weight of body when sitting

• Ischium spine - determines sex

Coxal: obturator foramen

Blood vessels and nerves travel through

Coxal: greater sciatic notch

Allows sciatic nerve and blood vessels to pass through to thigh

Coxal: pubic tubercle

Attachment site of inguinal ligament

Femur: fovea capitis

Ligament attachment to acetabulum of coxal bone

Femur: greater/lesser trochanter

Muscle attachment

Femur: patellar surface

Forms joint with patella

Femur: gluteal tuberosity

Attachment site for muscle

Tibia: tibial tuberosity

Patellar ligament attachment

What joints are used in articulation area between tibia and fibula?

Superior and inferior tibiofibular joints
