Quiz 4 - Appendicular Skeleton Flashcards
Appendicular Skeleton
involved in changing your position in the external environment (ex: standing, walking, sitting, dressing, driving a car)
tubercle
small rounded projection or process
tuberosity
large rounded projection; may be rough
epicondyle
raised area on or above a condyle
trochanter
very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process
crest
narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent
pectoral girdle
composed of clavicle and scapula - provide a bass for arm movement
clavicle
connects the scapula to the manubrium of sternum
scapula
posterior side, supported by skeletal muscles, direct connection to humerus
acromion
large, posterior process, articulates with clavicle
coracoid process
“crows back” , anterior process, articulates with bicep brachia muscle
glenoid cavity
articulates with head of humerus (forms shoulder joint)
spine
posterior ridge of scapula
humerus parts
head, great tubercle, lesser tubercle, lateral epicondyle, medial epicondyle, capitulum, trochlea, coronoid fossa, olecranon fossa
radius (parts)
lateral bone of the forearm
- radial tuberosity
- styloid process
ulna (parts)
medial bone of the forearm
- olecranon
- trochlear notch
- coronoid process
- styloid process
carpals (part)
lateral to medial in anatomical position - thumb to little finger
- scaphoid
- lunate
- triquetrum
- pisiform
- trapezium
- trapezoid
- capitate
- hamate
metacarpals
palm of hand
phalanges
proximal, middle, distal - digit or phalanx
pollex
proximal, distal - thumb
pelvic girdle
coxal bone - ilium, ischium, pubis
- acetabulum
- obturator foramen
- iliac crest
- ischial tuberosity
femur
head, neck, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, medial condyle, lateral condyle
patella
“kneecap”
tibia
tibial tuberosity and medial malleolus
