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.
