CHPT 8: APPENDCULAR SYS BONES Flashcards
appendicular skeleton function
-movement
what bones are included in the appendicular skeleton
upper and lower limbs
the function of the girdles in appendicular region
-girdles attach the limbs to axial skeleton
skeleton of the upper limb, per one side
- 1 clavicle and 1 scapula (pectoral girdle)
- 1 humerus
- 1 ulna
- 1 radius
- 8 carpals
- 19 metacarpals + phalanges
how many bones total does one side of the upper limb have?
32
greater and less tubercle location
anterior, lateral, proximal side of humerus
intertubercular sulcus (groove) location
between greater and less tubercle, on anterior laterl, proxmial side of humerus
intertubercular sulcus (groove) function
separate 2 tubercule
head of the humerus function
fit into glenoid cavity and form the glenuhumreral joint
location of the head of humerus, looking from an anterior view
proximal end, faces posteriorly
anatomical neck location
anterior, proximal, medical of humerus
-inferior to head
anatomical neck function
separates head from lateral end
which part of the humerus is prone to fractures
surgical neck
location of surgical neck
proximal, inferior/ distal to anatomical neck
structures on the proximal anterior of humerus
- greater and lesser tubercle
- intertubercular sulcus (groove)
- head
- anatomical neck
- surgical neck
structures on the distal anterior of humerus
- radial fossa
- lateral epicondyle
- capittulum
- coroniod fossa
- medial epicondyle
- trochlea
radial fossa function
flexing elbow causes head of radius to rest there
lateral epicondyle function
tendons of forearm attach here
capitulum function
articulates w/ head of radius
coronoid fossa function
flexing arm, trochear notch of ulna fits here
medical epicondyle function
tendons of forearm
trochlear function
articulates with trochlear notch of ulnda
radial groove location
posterior side of humerus
radial groove function
has radial nerve
