Study Notes
Hip Bone
- The acetabular fossa is located on the lateral surface of the hip bone, not the medial surface.
Distal Femur
- The distal end of the femur articulates with both the tibia and the patella.
Vertebrae
- A typical vertebra has the following parts: the vertebral body, the vertebral arch, articular processes, and the vertebral canal.
Scapula
- The lateral angle of the scapula features a concave articular surface called the glenoid cavity for articulation with the humeral head.
- The lateral angle of the scapula contains the infraglenoid tubercle for insertion of the long head of the triceps brachii muscle.
- The lateral angle of the scapula includes the coracoid process.
- The lateral angle of the scapula also includes the suprascapular notch.
Clavicle
- The medial end of the clavicle articulates with the first costal cartilage.
- The anterior border of the clavicle is convex in the lateral one-third.
Axis
- The odontoid process, or dens, of the axis articulates with the anterior arch of the atlas.
Distal Femur
- The intercondylar fossa is a feature of the distal epiphysis of the femur.
Navicular
- The navicular bone of the foot does not articulate with the 1st metatarsal anteriorly. It articulates with the medial cuneiform anteriorly.
Diaphysis of Femur
- The linea aspera is found on the diaphysis of the femur.
Cervical Vertebrae
- The transverse foramen of a cervical vertebra contains the vertebral artery.
Tibia
- The head of the tibia is not a feature of the bone.
Lumbar Vertebrae
- Lumbar vertebrae do not have transverse foramina.
Ribs
- The second rib articulates with both the manubrium and the body of the sternum.
Tibia
- The tibial tuberosity is a feature of the tibia.
Clavicle
- The lateral end of the clavicle articulates with the acromion process of the scapula, not the coracoid process.
Superior Angle of Scapula
- The superior angle of the scapula does not have a glenoid cavity, infraglenoid tubercle, or coracoid process.
- The superior angle of the scapula has a supraglenoid tubercle, which is different from the infraglenoid tubercle.
Acromion
- The acromion process of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle to form the acromioclavicular joint.
- The acromion process can be palpated just above the shoulder.
