    Study Notes

    Foot Arches

    • The transverse arch is the medial-lateral curvature of the midfoot
    • The longitudinal arch is relatively flat
    • Hallux valgus is the condition where the great toe points towards the second toe
    • Pes cavus occurs when the medial longitudinal arch is abnormally raised

    Synovial Joints

    • Synovial joints are characterized by articular cartilage, synovial fluid, a joint capsule and ligaments
    • Ball-and-socket joints allow free movement in all directions
    • The elbow is an example of a hinge joint
    • The first two cervical vertebrae (C1 and C2) form a pivot joint
    • Synovial fluid acts as lubrication, provides nourishment, and acts as shock absorption
    • Ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, and plane joints are types of synovial joints
    • The shoulder is an example of a ball-and-socket joint
    • The radius and ulna form a pivot joint
    • Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body
    • The carpal bones in the hand are synovial (typically plane) joints
    • Sutures of the skull are examples of an immovable joint
    • The joint between the femur and the tibia is a hinge joint
    • The pubic symphysis is an example of a cartilaginous joint
    • Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the midline of the body

    Humerus Structures

    • The head, greater and lesser tubercles, deltoid tuberosity, trochlea, capitulum, and epicondyles are structures found on the humerus
    • The capitulum is located on the lateral side of the distal end and articulates with the radius

    Carpal Bones

    • Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate are the carpal bones

    Hand Bones

    • Each hand contains five metacarpals
    • Each hand contains fourteen phalangeal bones: three in each finger and two in the thumb

    Olecranon

    • The olecranon is located on the ulna

    Carpal Tunnel

    • The carpal bones and flexor retinaculum make up the carpal tunnel

    Pelvis

    • Two coxal (hip) bones make up the pelvic girdle
    • The coxal bones articulate with the sacrum
    • The pubic symphysis connects the pubic bones anteriorly
    • The ilium, ischium, and pubis make up the hip bone
    • The ischium is located on the lower and back part of the pelvis
    • The three separate hip bones fuse at the acetabulum

    Other Bones

    • The zygomatic arch is made of the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) and the temporal bone
    • Seven bones make up the eye orbit
    • The zygomatic bone protects the eyeball from damage in case of trauma
    • The sternum is made up of the manubrium (uppermost), body/gladiolus (central), and xiphoid process (small, pointed lower portion)
    • Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine resulting in excessive lateral curvature
    • Lordosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine resulting in excessive extension of the lumbar region

    Appendicular Skeleton

    • Clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, coxal (hip) bones, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals make up the appendicular skeleton

    Pectoral Girdle

    • The clavicle and scapula make up the pectoral girdle

    Scapula Structures

    • The glenoid cavity, acromion, coracoid process, and spine are structures found on the scapula
    • The acromial end of the clavicle attaches to the acromion of the scapula

    Upper Extremity Bones

    • The humerus is part of the upper extremity
