appendicular skeleton
consists of pectoral and pelvic girdles and appendages
pectoral girdle
consists of two bones: the scapula (shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone)
clavicle
is a slender, doubly curved bone
It attaches to the manubrium of the sternum medially and to the scapula laterally where it helps to form the shoulder joint
scapula
is triangular
has a flattened body and two important
process (acromion and coracoid)
glenoid cavity
articulates with the head of the humerus
humerus
is the bone of the arm which is a typical long bone
hand
is made up of 8 carpal bones, with 5 metacarpals and the phalanges of the fingers and thumbs
ulna
The longer of the two forearm bones
medial forearm bone
trochlear notch
the deep fossa that receives the trochlea of the humerus during elbow flexion
olecranon process
the large prominent proximal end “tip of your elbow”
coronoid process
the anterior lip of the proximal ulna.
radius
Lateral forearm bone
the head articulates with the capitulum of the humerus
pelvic girdle
consists of two coxal (hip) bones, joined posterioly with the sacrum at the sacroiliac (SI) joints
supports trunk of body and protects viscera
coxal bone
made up of the ilium, ischium, and pubis, all fused at the acetabulum.
thigh
contains the femur
lower leg
is made up of of the tibia and fibula
ankle
contains 7 tarsal bones, and 5 metatarsals make up the three arches (transverse, medial, and lateral longitudinal arches) of the foot
coxae
or hip bone
2
are joined anteriorly by the pubic symphysis (fibrocartilage)
femur
Longest, heaviest and strongest bone of body
Proximal head
Greater trochanter and lesser trochanter where large muscles attach.
linea aspera attachment site for the large hip muscles.

tibia
shin bone
medial to fibula
Tibial tuberosity attachment site for the patellar ligament.
Anterior crest
Medial malleolus (shapedlike a hammer head
Tibial tuberosity
attachment site for the patellar ligament.
linea aspera
attachment site for the large hip muscles
fibula
Lateral to tibia
Long, slender
Head
Lateral malleolus
Does not bear any body weight.
joint
is a site where 2 or more bones come together (articulate)
fibrous joints
functional: synarthrosis
Non-movable or barely movable
The articulating surfaces of bones are joined by fibrous tissue
ex. sutures, syndesmosis and gomphoses
cartilaginous joints
functional: amphiarthrosis
slightly movable
primary cartilaginous joints
synchondrosis
The bones are united by a plate or bar of hyaline cartilage.
ex. Union between the first rib and manubrium sterni
secondary cartilaginous joints
symphysis
The bones are united by a plate or bar of fibrocartilage and the articular surfaces are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage
ex. pubic symphysis and intevertebral discs
synovial joints
functional: diarthrosis
The articular surfaces of bones are covered by hyaline cartilage
separated by a joint cavity.
The cavity of the joint is lined by synovial membrane. The articular surfaces are lubricated by a synovial fluid.
hinge joint
is uniaxial
found in the elbow, knee and ankle
pivot joint
is uniaxial
found in the superior radioulnar and atlanto-axial
condylar joint
is biaxial
found in the wrist, metacarpophalangeal joint and metatarsophalangeal joint
plane joint
is nonaxial
found in the intercarpal and intertarsal
saddle joint
is biaxial
found in the carpometacarpal of the thumb
ball and socket
is multiaxial
found in the shoulder and hip
osteoarthritis
is the most common form of which Knee and hip replacement surgery (Arthroplasty) is now common and successful.
compound
the broken ends of the bone protrude through the skin
comminuted
the bone is splintered, crushed or broken into pieces at the site of impact
smaller bone fragments lie between the two main fragments
common in older people with brittle bones
greenstick
a partial fracture in which one side of the bone is broken and the other side bends
similar to the way a green twig breaks on one side while the other side stays whole
occurs only in children whose bones are not fully ossidifed and contain more organic material
impacted
one end of the fracured bone is forcefully driven into the interior of the other
breaking a fall with outstretched arms
