What is found in the rotator cuff?
Medial and Lateral Borders and the Spine
Where do most muscles attach to the scapula?
Manubrium of the sternum
Where does the clavicle connect with the axial skeleton?
Head of the humerus
articulates with the scapula at the glenoid cavity
Tuberosities of the humerus
attachment points for muscles of the arm
condyles of humerus
Is on the inferior side of the humerus, medial condyle is the "funny bone"

pelvic girdle vs pelvis
pelvic girdle: 2 coxae, sacrum and coccyx pelvis: 2 coxae
iliac crest
the area of the pelvis most commonly associated with the "hip bone"
lower limbs include
femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
femur
carries most of the body's weight (Thigh bone)
patellar tendon
the tendon that encompasses the patella and extends distally across the front of the knee
tibia
the medial and larger bone of the lower leg
fibula
The lateral and smaller bone of the lower leg
How many tarsals are there?
7
tarsals
bones that distribute weight to the feet
acetabulum
area where pelvis articulates with the femur
sesamoid bone
what type of bone is the patella
