Appendicular Skeleton - Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Hand
Cards in this deck (27)
- 1ScapulaA broad, flat, triangular bone that forms the shoulder blade.
- 2Glenoid CavityCup shaped cavity which articulates with the humerous.
- 3AcromionForms the bony tip of the shoulder - attaches to the spine.
- 4Coracoid processThe smaller, more anterior, hook shaped projection that is site for muscle attachment.
- 5SpineSpine of the scapula is a ridge of bone on the posterior aspect of the scapula. Easily palpated under the skin.
- 6ClavicleCommonly known as the collar bone. ^Posterior vAnterior Medial Sternal end
- 7HumerusThe longest and largest upper limb bone.
- 8Head of HumerusIts proximal end has a hemispherical head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
- 9Greater TubercleThe prominent greater tubercle is positioned lateral to the head and helps form the rounded contour of the shoulder.
- 10Lesser TubercleSmaller and located more medial to the head.
- 11Deltoid TuberosityThe roughened area of the shaft of the humerus. Deltoid muscle of the shoulder attaches here.
- 12Medial EpicondyleBony projection on the distal humerus that provide surfaces for muscle attachment.
- 13Lateral EpicondyleBony projection on the distal humerus which provides a surface for muscle attachment.
- 14CapitulumThe rounded capitulum is located laterally and articulates with the head of the radius.
- 15TrochleaThe pulley-shaped trochlea is located medially and articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna.
- 16Olecranon FossaThe posterior depression called the olecranon fossa accommodates the olecranon of the ulna = elbow.
- 17UlnaThe longer, medially placed bone of the forearm.
- 18Olecranon ProcessThe posterosuperior aspect of the trochlear notch has a prominent projection called the olecranon.
- 19Styloid Process of the UlnaThe shaft of the radius curves slightly and leads to a wider distal end where there is a laterally placed styloid process
- 20Radial Notch of UlnaArticular depression on the lateral side of the coronoid process - where head of radius goes.
- 21RadiusProximal end has a disc shaped head. Articulates with the capitulum of the humerus.
- 22Radial TuberosityAttachment site for the biceps brachii muscle.
- 23Styloid Process of the RadiusBony projection can be palpated on the lateral side of the wrist. Proximal to the thumb.
- 24CarpalsSmall, short bones that form the wrist. 8 carpals.
- 25MetacarpalsBones in the palm of the hand. 5 metacarpals.
- 26PhalangesThe digits - finger bones. 14 phalanges.
- 27PollexThe thumb! Lateral in anatomical position.
