Scapula

Answer 3

• Spine
• Acromion
• Coracoid Process

Question 4

Acromion

Answer 4

A process that sticks off of the scapula’s spine and articulates with the clavicle

Question 5

Coracoid Process

Answer 5

Juts off of the scapula just above the glenoid cavity, wrapping around the anterior side of the GC

Question 6

Glenoid Cavity

Answer 6

The socket into which the humerus of the arm fits, forming the glenohumeral joint

Question 7

Supraspinous and Infraspinous Fossa

Answer 7

• Supraspinous is a fossa above the scapular spine for muscle and ligament articulation
• Infraspinous is the same, but below the scapular spine

Question 8

Subscapular Fossa

Answer 8

Fossa on the anterior side of the scapula

Question 9

Upper Limb Bones

Answer 9

Humerus, Ulna, Radius, Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges

Question 10

Humerus Surface Features

Answer 10

• Greater and lesser tubercle
• Capitulum
• Trochlea
• Coronoid fossa
• Olecranon fossa
• Medial Epicondyle

Question 11

-Greater and lesser tubercles

Answer 11

• Proximal humerus, near the head
• Greater is posterior, lesser is anterior

Question 12

Capitulum (humerus)

Answer 12

Articulates with the head of the radius

Question 13

Trochlea

Answer 13

Articulates with the head of the ulna

Question 14

Olecranon Fossa

Answer 14

Posterior humerus, a fossa where the olecranon process of the ulna articulates

Question 15

Coronoid Fossa

Answer 15

Anterior humerus, a fossa where the coronoid process of the ula articulates

Question 16

Medial Epicondyle

Answer 16

Located at the distal end of the humerus, it is an epicondyle which points toward the middle of the body

Question 17

Radial Tuberosity

Answer 17

A tuberosity on the radius which articulates with the ulna at the radial notch

Question 18

Radial Notch

Answer 18

A notch on the ulna which articulates with the radial tuberosity

Question 19

Interosseous Membrane

Answer 19

A membrane of connective tissue which connects the radius and ulna, and the tibia and fibula

Question 20

Ulnar Notch

Answer 20

a notch on the distal end of the radius which articulates with the head of the ulna. This makes us the distal radioulnar joint

Question 21

Styloid Process

Answer 21

Located on the anterior side of both the distal radius and distal ulna, it is a process which points toward the carpals

Question 22

Radius articulates with these carpals

Answer 22

Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum

Question 23

Proximal Carpals

Answer 23

Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform

Question 24

Distal Carpals

Answer 24

Hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium

Question 25

Pelvic Girdle

Answer 25

- Coxal bone made up of ilium, ischium, and pubic bones - pubic symphysis - sacroiliac joints

Question 26

Acetabulum

Answer 26

The socket into which the ball of the femur is inserted

Question 27

Male vs. Female Pubic Arch

Answer 27

Males generally have a pubic arch of less than 90 degrees, whereas females tend to have an arch of greater than 90 degrees. Females also tend to have wider pelvic brims for a baby to fit through

Question 28

Features of the Femur

Answer 28

- Greater and lesser trochanters - Intercondylar fossa - Linea aspera - Medial and lateral condyles - Medial and lateral epicondyles - Head

Question 29

Greater and Lesser Trochanters

Answer 29

- Two trochanters on the proximal end of the femur - Only trochanters in the body - Greater trochanter is superior - Lesser trochanter is inferior

Question 30

Intercondylar Fossa

Answer 30

Located between the two condyles on the distal end of the femur

Question 31

Linea Aspera

Answer 31

Roughened ridge on the posterior side of the shaft of the femur

Question 32

Medial and Lateral Condyles

Answer 32

Condyles located on the distal end of the femur, articulate with the patella and tibia

Question 33

Medial and Lateral Epicondyles

Answer 33

Epicondyles found on the distal end of the femur

Question 34

Patella

Answer 34

- Knee bone embedded within the patellar tendon/ligament - Largest sesamoid bone

Question 35

Tibia

Answer 35

- Medial to the fibula - Lateral and medial condyles - Articulates with the fibula proximally and distally, and with the talus distally - Tibial tuberosity - Medial malleolus

Question 36

Fibula

Answer 36

- Lateral to the tibia - Lateral malleolus - Non weight bearing
