Human Anatomy (bones pt. 1)

Femur

It is your thigh bone. It connects from the hip joint to the knee joint. It is also the largest bone in our body

Tibia

It is also known as your shin bone. It connects from the knee to the ankle joint. It is our second largest bone

Humerus

Upper arm bone. It is connected to the shoulder joint and elbow joint. It is also the third largest bone in our body

Ulna

 is located inside the forearm. The bone is connected from the elbow joint to the wrist.

Radius

It is located on the outside of the forearm (lower arm). It connects from the elbow to the wrist. This bone allows you to rotate your forearm. 

Sternum

It is located in the chest (Breastbone). It connects the ribs.This is the area where CPR compressions are given.

Fibula

The fibula is the long, thin bone of the lower leg. It runs parallel to the tibia, and plays a significant role in stabilizing the ankle and supporting the muscles of the lower leg.

Skull

the bony structure that forms the head in the human skeleton. It supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain.

Phalanges

The bones of the fingers and of the toes. There are generally three phalanges (distal, middle, proximal) for each digit except the thumbs and large toes.

Mandible

lower jaw, is the bone that forms the lower part of the skull. Movement of the lower jaw opens and closes the mouth and also allows for the chewing of food.

Tarsal

The bones of the lower leg to form the ankle joint. The other six tarsals, tightly bound together by ligaments below the talus, function as a strong weight-bearing platform. 

Pelvis

ring-like bony structure, located in the lower part of the trunk. It connects the axial skeleton to the lower limbs.

Clavicle

The clavicle is the bone that connects the breastplate (sternum) to the shoulder.

Patella (knee cap)

Aids with knee extension, allows for smooth movement during knee flexion/extension, protects the anterior surface of the knee joint

Ribcage

Connected to the sternum with a strong, somewhat flexible material called cartilage. Help protects the organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs, from damage.
