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
