rotator cuff

glenoid cavity

Head of the humerus, tendons of arm muscles, associated nerves and blood supply

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"

surgical neck of humerus

area where most fractures occur

radius

lateral bone of the forearm

ulna

medial bone of the forearm

carpal bones

8 bones of the wrist

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
