Study Notes

Phalanges and Metacarpals

  • Each finger has 3 phalanges; the thumb has 2 phalanges.
  • There are 5 metacarpals in the hand.

Carpal Bones

  • Individual bones in the carpal cannot be counted distinctly.
  • Intercarpal joints connect the carpal bones.

Forearm Anatomy

  • The radius is on the thumb side of the forearm, while the ulna is on the little finger side.
  • In the distal end of the forearm, the radius moves, and the ulna remains stationary.

Joint Types

  • The elbow and knee are both hinge joints.

Other Bones and Features

  • The medial epicondyle of the humerus does not move.
  • The clavicle articulates medially with the sternum and laterally with the acromion.
  • There is a notch where the clavicles meet at the sternum.

Rib Bones

  • Each side of the body has 10 rib bones.

Patella and Tibia

  • The patella (knee cap) can be felt externally, and the tibia can also be felt.
  • The fibula cannot be externally felt.

Foot Anatomy

  • The calcaneus is the heel bone.
  • There are 5 tarsals, and they can be felt externally, as well as 5 metatarsals.
  • The big toe has 2 phalanges, while non-big toes have 3 phalanges.

Skull and Facial Bones

  • The occipital bone is located at the bottom back of the skull; there is 1 palpable parietal bone.
  • The frontal bone is found in the forehead area, while temporal bones are located at the temples.
  • Zygomatic bones are commonly known as cheekbones.
  • Eye sockets are formed by the lacrimal bone.
  • Humans have 2 nasal bones: the nasal and vomer.
  • Palatine bones can be felt with the tongue, and the maxillary bones are located on the roof of the mouth.

Mandible

  • The mandible is movable.

Skeletal Systems

  • The appendicular system includes bones such as the patella, tibia, humerus, phalanges, radius, ulna, metacarpals, tarsals, clavicle, and calcaneus.
  • The axial skeleton includes rib bones, the cranium, occipital bones, zygomatic bones, frontal bones, temporal bones, xiphoid process, and sacrum.
