Bones: Appendicular Skeleton Flashcards
number 2

acromial extremity of clavicle
- flatter end, articulates with acromion of scapula
14

acromial facet of clavicle
12

Articular Facet for Sternum
1
conoid tubercle / coracoid tuberosity
inferior view

Costal Tuberosity
- inferomedial side of clavicle
- it’s an “Impression for (the) Costoclavicular Ligament” and is sometimes known as such, rather than costal tuberosity
number 1

sternal extremity of clavicle
- articulates with manubrium
- pyramidal
marked by line w blue box

Subclavian Groove
- attachment for subclavius muscle on inferior side
17

trapezoid line
clavicle
- collar bone, 2 paired
- s-shaped
- articulates with scapula and sternum
know:
- sternal extremity
- acromial extremity
which clavicle is this? left or right

LEFT
on the superior view looking down, from sternum it arches straight out first and then bends back
which clavicle is this? left or right

RIGHT
this is a superior view of the right clavicle (since no conoid tubercle is visible)
- flatter acromial end is concave anteriorly, rounder sternal end is convex anteriorly
green highlighted posterior, proximal region

Intertrochanteric Crest
- posterior ridge from greater to lesser trochanter
femur
- proximal bone of leg, longest/largest in body, articulates above w/ acetabulum and below w/ tibia
know:
- head
- neck
- greater trochanter
- lesser trochanter
- medial condyle
- lateral condyle
- medial epicondyle
- lateral epicondyle
- line aspera

adductor tubercle
- an elevation on the medial epicondyle of the femur
big red part D

anterior surface of femur

Fovea for ligament of Head of Femur
B

Gluteal Tuberosity
- attachment for gluteus maximus
- often elongated proximally into roughened crest with tubercle known as “third trochanter”

greater trochanter
- muscle attachment

head of femur

Intercondylar Fossa of Femur
green circled structure

intertrochanteric line
- marks transition from neck to shaft

lateral condyle of femur

lateral epicondyle of femur
