Appendicular Skeleton Basic Bone Markers Flashcards
(8 cards)
Clavicle
Acromial end (flat, connects to the pelvic girdle) Sternal end (connects to the sternum) Consider tubercle (a cone shaped bump on the inferior portion of the acromial end)
Scapula
Spine (the big ass ridge!)
Acromion (the most lateral aspect. Forms the pectoral girdle)
Humerus
Head (sockets into the pelvic girdle) Olecranon fossa (crater on the posterior portion to which the ulna sockets in)
Radius
Head (proximal portion) Styloid Process (distal region, connects to the carpal bones)
Ulna
Radical notch (allows for the radius head to socket into the ulna) Olecranon process (hook that sockets into the humerus)
Os Coxae
Iliac crest (most superior portion) Acetabulum (where the femoral head articulates)
Femur
Head (proximal) Linea aspera (a ridge that runs along the posterior portion of the femur)
On Tibia
Tibial tuberosity (sharp outcropping on the proximal anterior surface) Medial malleolus (most medial portion of the distal part of the bone)
