Ch 8 Flashcards
(19 cards)
Upper and lower limbs of appendicular skeleton
Upper has pectoral girdles and free upper limbs. Lower has pelvic girdles and free lower limbs. Arm upper, thigh lower
Two main divisions of skeletal system
Axial like the core of the body helps protect organs and appendicular consists of upper and lower limbs function is movement
Diff bt upper and lower limbs
Upper pelvic girdle of lower of firmly anchored to vertebral column via strong ligament joint. Pectoral girdles of upper do not for joints with vertebral column. They weakly join to axial skeleton via the clavicle(collar bone)
Upper limb
Each upper limb has 32 bones which form the two regions pectoral girdle and free upper limb. Each of the two pectoral girdles have a clavicle and a scapula. Each ‘free’ upper limb has 30 bones in 3 locations, arm(humerus)forarm(ulna radius) hand(carpal bones and carpus(wrist). 5 medicarpal bones in the palm 14 phalanges in the fingers and thumb
Function of pectoral girdle
Set if bones that connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton on each side(has clavicle and scapula)
Clavicle
A shaped. Collar bone. Medial half is convex anteriorly( curves tword you) it’s also the arsenal end it’s rounded and articulates with sternum for sternoclavicukar joint. lateral half is concave( curves away) it’s broad and flat it articulates with a romain of scapula for acromoaclabicualr joint.
Weakest part of clavicle
Mid region at the junction of the two curves.
Scapula
Shoulder blade. There’s a ridge on the scapula called the ‘spine’ it runs diagonally across posterior surface of scapula. The lateral end of the spine is like a flattened expanded process called the ‘acromon’ it articulates with the a criminal end of the clavicle for the acromialclaviclar join. Inferior to the acromian is a shallow depression the ‘glenoid cavity’(weird round thing) it accepts the humerus to form the glenohumeral joint(shoulder joint)
Other parts of scapula
(Medial vertebral border)-it’s thin and closer to vertebral column, (lateral axillary border)- thick closer to arm (superior border)- joins vertebral border at superior level (scapular notch) a depression a nerve passes through here. At (carocoid process) mistakes attach there are two fossae there’s supraspinous and infra spinous they serve as mustle attachment for shoulders

Humerus
Arm bone. Upper one attached to shoulder. Largest of upper limb. Round by shoulders and flat end at elbow. Articulates with scapula and ulna and radius for elbow joint
