Clavicle
S- shaped bone that articulates medially with the manubrium of the sternum and laterally with the acromion of the scapula
Scapula
- Lateral/ axillary border
- Medial/ vertebral border
- Superior border
- Inferior angle
- Superior angle
- Spine
- Acromion process
- Coracoid process
- Subscapular fossa

Humerus
Bone of the brachium (upper arm)
Parts of the humerus
- Head
- Greater and lesser tubercle
- Surgical and anatomical necks
- Deltoid tuberosity
- Intertubercular groove/ sulcus
- Coronoid fossa
- Olecranon fossa
- Capitulum
- Trochlea
- Medial and lateral epicondyles
Head faces medially
Bone(s) of the antebranchium (forearm)
Radius and ulna
Parts of the radius
- Head
- Neck
- Radial tuberosity
- Styloid process
- Ulnar notch
*radius is lateral, ulna is medial
styloid process is lateral, use to determine L/R
look at head to distinguish from ulna or other bones
Parts of the ulna
- Olecranon process
- Coronoid process
- Trochlear/semilunar notch
- Radial notch
- Styloid process
- Head
