    Study Notes

    Eye and Facial Bones

    • Eye Orbit:
      • Encases and protects the eye.
    • Mandible:
      • Forms the lower jaw, crucial for chewing and speaking.
    • Frontal Bone:
      • Comprises the forehead region.
    • Nasal Bone:
      • Forms the bridge of the nose.
    • Maxilla:
      • Constitutes the upper jaw, important for dental structure.

    Thoracic and Upper Limb Bones

    • Body of Sternum:
      • Central part of the sternum, articulates with ribs.
    • Xiphoid:
      • The small, cartilaginous extension at the lower end of the sternum.
    • Clavicle:
      • Known as the collarbone, connects arm to body and provides shoulder support.
    • True Ribs:
      • The first seven pairs of ribs that attach directly to the sternum.

    Arm and Forearm Bones

    • Humerus:
      • The long bone in the upper arm, involved in shoulder and elbow movement.
    • Ulna:
      • Larger forearm bone, features a hinge joint at the elbow for uniplanar movement.
    • Radius:
      • Smaller forearm bone, enables rotational motion at the elbow.

    Vertebral and Pelvic Bones

    • Lumbar Vertebrae:
      • Five vertebrae in the lower back, significant for supporting the torso.
    • Sacrum:
      • Triangular bone at the base of the spine, connects with pelvis.
    • Coccyx:
      • Known as the tailbone, supports pelvic organs.

    Pelvic and Lower Limb Bones

    • Ilium:
      • The largest part of the pelvis, supports weight and provides attachment points.
    • Ischium:
      • The lower and back part of the hip bone, provides sitting support.
    • Symphysis Pubis:
      • A joint that connects the left and right pubic bones at the front of the pelvis.

    Rib and Cartilage Structure

    • Coastal Cartilage:
      • Connects each rib to the sternum, providing flexibility to the ribcage.
    • Floating Ribs:
      • The last two pairs of ribs that do not attach to the sternum but protect the kidneys.

    Hand and Foot Bones

    • Carpals:
      • Group of eight small bones forming the wrist, allowing wrist mobility.
    • Metacarpals:
      • Five bones forming the palm of the hand.
    • Phalanges:
      • Bones of the fingers and toes; essential for dexterity and grip.
    • Tarsals:
      • Group of seven bones forming the ankle, providing support and mobility.
    • Metatarsals:
      • Slender bones forming the middle part of the foot.

    Leg Bones

    • Femur:
      • The longest bone in the body, known as the thigh bone.
    • Patella:
      • Also known as the kneecap, protects the knee joint.
    • Tibia:
      • The larger of the two leg bones, significant for weight-bearing.
    • Fibula:
      • The smaller of the two leg bones, helps stabilize the ankle.
