Study Notes
Scapula
- The scapula has a supraspinatus fossa and an infraspinatus fossa.
- The acromion process, spine, and coracoid process are notable features of the scapula.
Humerus
- The humerus has a head, anatomical neck, and greater tuberosity.
- The humerus also has a medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, and a trochlea.
Radius and Ulna
- The radius and ulna make up the forearm.
- The radius has a head, neck, and radial fossa.
- The ulna has a coronoid process, trochlear notch, and olecranon fossa.
Carpals
- The carpals include the lunate, scaphoid, triquetrium, trapezium, hamate, and capitate bones.
Metacarpals and Phalanges
- The metacarpals are connected to the carpals.
- The phalanges include the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.
Muscles
- The supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles are located in the shoulder.
- The subscapularis, deltoid, and teres major muscles are also important in the shoulder and arm.
- The biceps brachii, brachialis, and triceps muscles are located in the arm.
Ligaments and Joints
