The skeletal system can be divided into two main parts: axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton.
The appendicular skeleton includes:
Upper limbs
Pelvic girdle
Lower limbs
The bones in the appendicular skeleton are mainly responsible for body movements and mobility.
These bones serve as appendages to the axial skeleton, which includes bones within the upper and lower limbs and girdles.
Bones:
Clavicle (collarbone)
Scapula (shoulder blade)
Joints:
Sternoclavicular joint (between the clavicle and sternum)
Acromioclavicular joint (between the clavicle and scapula)
Glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint)
Views:
Anterior and posterior view illustrations of the pectoral girdle.
Animation illustrating the interactions of the pectoral girdle components.
The clavicle is S-shaped:
Medial (sternal) end articulates with the manubrium of the sternum.
Lateral (acromial) end articulates with the acromion of the scapula.
Most commonly fractured bone in the body.
Anatomy includes:
Sternal and acromial ends
Trapezoid line
Costal tuberosity
Conoid tubercle
The scapula is a flat bone located in the posterior thorax (between the second and seventh ribs).
The glenoid cavity serves as the attachment point for the humerus.
Condition where the scapula protrudes outwards, which may affect movement.
Humerus is the arm bone.
Articulates with:
Scapula (proximal)
Radius and ulna (distal)
Trochlea with ulna; capitulum with radius.
Major features include:
Greater tubercle
Deltoid tuberosity
Capitulum
Olecranon fossa
Epicondyles

Eight carpal bones:
Two rows, proximal (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform) articulating with radius and ulna.
Distal row (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate) articulating with metacarpals.
Phalanges and metacarpals description.
Key carpal bones and mnemonic used for learning.

Five metacarpals and 14 phalanges:
Thumb has 2 (proximal, distal); other fingers have 3 each.
Detailed analysis of carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges, their articulation points, and an additional mnemonic.
Components of nail including nail bed and fractures associated with the phalanx.
Scaphoid fracturing surgery indications and stabilization methods.
Hip girdle components and articulations with the sacrum and pubic symphysis.
Composition includes ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Functional significance of the pubic symphysis.

Highlighting the gluteal lines, iliac crest, and sciatic notches.
Ball-and-socket joint formed between the head of the femur and acetabulum.
Division of the pelvis into superior and inferior portions by pelvic brim.
Definitions, features, and anatomical significance of both false (greater) and true (lesser) pelvis.
Anterior views illustrating greater and lesser pelvis anatomy.
Male:
Heavier, thicker bones.
Female:
Wider, shallower pelvis accommodating childbirth.
Different positions during childbirth; factors affecting delivery.

Institution: Dominican University, New YorkCourse: Anatomy & Physiology I: BI223 DA 3Instructor: Spendy Pierre-Louis, PT, DPT, GCSCourse Objectives:This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human body's structure and function, focusing primarily on the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system. Students will learn important terminology, concepts, and interrelationships among various body systems, with an emphasis on practical applications in health and medical fields.
The skeletal system can be divided into two main categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
Axial Skeleton: Comprises the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, mainly responsible for protecting internal organs and providing structural support.
Appendicular Skeleton: Includes bones that form the upper and lower limbs, as well as the pelvic and pectoral girdles, playing an essential role in facilitating movement and interaction with the environment.
Upper Limb: Comprised of the humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
Pelvic Girdle: Supports the lower limbs and consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis, connecting to the sacrum at the sacroiliac joint.
Lower Limb: Comprises the femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges, essential for locomotion and balancing the body during movement.
The bones within the appendicular skeleton are primarily responsible for facilitating body movements and enhancing mobility.Functions include:
Locomotion: Connecting limbs to the torso enables walking, running, and jumping.
Manipulation of Objects: The upper limbs are adapted for various functions, from lifting to intricate hand movements.
Support and Balance: These bones, along with associated muscles and ligaments, provide stability during movement and posture maintenance.These bones serve as appendages to the axial skeleton, facilitating a wide range of movements while maintaining structural integrity and support for the body's functions.
