The epicondyles narrow upwards into the shaft of the bone. The thumb and forefinger can generally span the elbow joint at its widest point from the posterior. The epicondyles can be found by palpating the widest points of the distal humerus. The medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus are proximal, lateral, and superior to the trochlea and capitulum. Two outcroppings of bone flank the trochlea and capitulum. The distal end (lateral malleolus) articulates with the talus bone of the ankle and with the fibular notch of the tibia.Figure 3: Anterior and posterior views of the humerus The proximal end (head) articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia. The distal end articulates with the fibula and talus bone. The proximal end articulates with the femur and fibula. What bones deos the tibia articulate with? The larger medial wight bearing bone of the leg. Articulates with the lateral and medial condyles of the femur. The distal end articulates with the tibia and patella. The proximal end articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone. Longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the body. The female coccyx is more moveable and points inferiorly while the male is less moveable and points anteriorly. The females pubic arch is greater than 90% and the males pubic arch is less than 90%. The females obturator foramen is oval and the male's is round. The females acetabulum is small and faces anteriorly while the males' acetabulum is large and faces laterally. The female's pelvic brim is larger and more oval while the males' is smaller and heart shaped. The female pelvis is light and thin while the males is heavy and thick. What sets the female pelvis apart from the male pelvis? The false (greater) pelvis is the portion of the bony pelvis superior to the pelvic brim. The true (lesser pelvis is the part of the pelvis inferior to the pelvic brim. ILium (superior), Pubis (inferior and anterior), and ischium (inferior and posterior). What three "fused" bones does each hip bone consist of? Hip bones, pubic symphis, and ths sacrum. What other joint does the pelvic bone create.īoth coxal bones united posteriorly with the scrum joints. What is the joint between the two coxal bones? What two bones does the pelvic (hip) bone consist of?Ĭonstists of two coxal bones and the hip bones, pubic symphis and the sacrum. In digits II-V how many rows of phalanges are there? There are 14 phalanges in each hand (each set is numbered I-V). What are the three different parts of the metacarpal bone?Ī proximal base, an intermediate shaft, and a distal head. The wrist, 8 small bones(carpals) and intercarpal joints (articulations between carpals.įive bones numbered 1-5 starting with the thumb (makes up the metacarpus. The olecranon of the ulna forms the prominence of the elbow. Located on the lateral aspect of the forearm (the thumb side). Located on the medial aspect of the forearm (the little finger side). It articulates proximally with the scapula and distally with the ulna and radius.ĭeltoid tuberosity: attachment site for the deltoid muscle.Īnatomical neck: site of the epiphyseal line. What bone does the humerous articulate with? What is the largest bone of the upper limb? The pectoral girdles do not articulate with the vertebral column. Glenoid cavity: Covered with hyaline cartilage. What are the different parts of the scapula? It articulates with the humerous at the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint and with the clavicle through the acromioclavicular joint. What bones does the scapula articulate with? What are the two extremities of the clavicle?Īcromial extremity: articulates with the acromion of the scapula to form the acromioclavicular joint. The clavicle (anterior) and the scapula (posterior). What two bones does the pectoral shoulder muscle consist of? Olecranon fossa: posterior depression that receives the olecranon of the ulna when the forearm is extended. Greater and lesser tubercles:Projections on the proximal end.Įpicondyles: Projections on the distal end, where the tendons of most muscles of the forearm attach.Ĭoronoid fossa: anterior depression which recieves the coronoid process of the ulna when the forearm is flexed. It attaches the bones of the upper limbs to the axial skeleton. What is the function of the pectoral (shoulder) girdle?
