Study Notes
- The skull comprises various bones that form the cranium and face, each with distinct features.
- Key skull foramina include the optic canals, foramen rotundum, foramen ovale, foramen spinosum, cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone, jugular foramen, foramen magnum, and superior orbital fissure, all of which transmit specific nerves and vessels.
- The mandibular division (V3) of cranial nerve 5 passes through the foramen ovale.
- The mandible articulates with the skull.
- Multiple bones contribute to forming the orbit.
- Vertebrae are categorized into atlas, axis, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar types.
- Common vertebral features include the lamina, pedicle, processes, and facets.
- Kyphosis and lordosis are recognizable spinal curvatures.
- The hyoid bone is a unique, isolated bone in the neck.
- Ribs possess common features like a head and neck.
- Ribs are differentiated into true, false, and floating types based on their sternal attachments.
- The sternum consists of three parts, including the sternal angle.
- The clavicle has distinct sternal and acromial ends.
- The scapula can be identified as right or left and articulates with both the clavicle and humerus.
- The humerus can be identified as right or left.
- The radius and ulna articulate with the humerus during flexion and extension.
- Bones of the hand and wrist include all carpal bones.
- Pelvic bones feature important markings.
- The femur can be identified as right or left.
- The tibia and fibula can be identified as right or left.
- Bones of the foot and ankle form its structure.
Knee Joint
- Key structures include the patella, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial/lateral meniscus, patellar ligament/tendon, tendon of quadriceps, and fibular/tibial collateral ligaments.
Shoulder Joint
- Key ligaments include the coracohumeral, transverse humeral, and glenohumeral ligaments.
Hip Joint
- Key structures include the ligament of the head of the femur, iliofemoral ligament, and pubofemoral ligament.
