Study Notes
Upper and Lower Limb Structure
- Both upper and lower limbs consist of two portions: proximal (attached to the trunk) and distal (free).
- Proximal portion is known as the limb girdle, while the distal portion includes segments: proximal, middle, and distal.
- Proximal parts form the shoulder (upper limb) and hip (lower limb) joints.
- Each limb's distal segments comprise carpal/metacarpal (hand) and tarsal/metatarsal (foot) structures.
Limb Development
- The upper limb bud undergoes 90° lateral rotation, while the lower limb bud rotates 90° medially.
Scapula Features
- The scapula, or shoulder blade, is a large, triangular bone located on the posterolateral aspect of the thorax.
- Concave costal surface faces medially and forwards, housing attachment points for muscles like subscapularis and serratus anterior.
- Dorsal surface is convex, featuring a spinous process that divides it into supraspinous and infraspinous fossae.
- The scapula is mobile, consisting of a body and three processes: spinous, acromion, and coracoid.
Clavicle Anatomy
- Composed of three parts: two ends (medial and lateral) and a shaft.
- Lateral end (acromial end) articulates with the acromion to form the acromioclavicular joint.
- Medial end (sternal end) is enlarged, articulating with the manubrium sterni to form the sternoclavicular joint.
- Provides attachment for important muscles and ligaments, including pectoralis major, trapezius, and various connective tissues.
Clavicular Features
- The lateral end features a conoid tubercle near the posterior border, providing attachment for conoid and trapezoid ligaments.
- The anterior border is concave, giving rise to the deltoid muscle.
- Central cylindrical portion contains anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior surfaces for additional muscle attachments.
Ossification Characteristics
- The scapula is the first bone to begin ossifying around 5-6 weeks of intrauterine life and the last to complete ossification (at 25 years).
- Unique among long bones, it ossifies by two primary centers and occurs within a membranous structure, differing from typical cartilage ossification pathways.

Description
This quiz focuses on the anatomical comparison and contrast between the joints of the upper and lower limbs, including the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee joints. It aims to enhance your understanding of how these joints function in relation to their respective limbs.
