    Study Notes

    Atlas and Axis Articulation

    • The superior articular facets of the atlas (C1) are specifically shaped to articulate with the occipital condyles.

    Lumbar Vertebrae

    • Bifid spinous processes are typical of cervical vertebrae, not lumbar vertebrae.
    • All lumbar vertebrae possess a vertebral foramen, large vertebral body, and mammillary process.

    Humerus and Ulna Articulation

    • The trochlea of the humerus articulates primarily with the trochlear notch of the ulna.

    Forearm Interosseous Membrane

    • The interosseous membrane of the forearm attaches between the radius and ulna.

    Sternal Angle

    • The sternal angle (Angle of Louis) is located at the level of the T4/T5 vertebral disc.

    Sacrum

    • The sacrum has four pairs of sacral foramina.
    • It articulates with the ilium at the sacroiliac joint.
    • It does articulate with the coccyx.

    Medial Longitudinal Arch

    • The talus bone contributes to the medial longitudinal arch of the foot.

    Talus Articulation

    • The articular surface of the talus that contacts the tibia is called the trochlear surface.

    Linea Aspera

    • The linea aspera is found on the posterior surface of the femur.

    Costal Groove

    • The costal groove on ribs contains the intercostal vessels and nerves.

    Pterygoid Processes

    • The pterygoid processes are part of the sphenoid bone.

    Bones of the Orbit

    • The temporal bone does not participate in the formation of the orbit.
    • The orbit is formed by the lacrimal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones .

    Nasal Septum

    • The inferior nasal concha does not form part of the nasal septum.
    • The nasal septum is formed by the vomer, perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, and septal cartilage.

    Uncinate Process

    • The uncinate process is found on the ethmoid bone.

    Coracoid Process

    • The biceps brachii (short head) muscle inserts on the coracoid process of the scapula.

    Annular Ligament

    • The annular ligament primarily stabilizes the head of the radius against the ulna.

    Sciatic Notches

    • The ischial spine separates the lesser and greater sciatic notches.

    Deltoid Ligament

    • The deltoid ligament attaches the tibia to the calcaneus, talus, and navicular bones.

    Ischial Tuberosity Origin

    • The biceps femoris (long head) muscle originates from the ischial tuberosity.

    Palmar Aponeurosis

    • The palmar aponeurosis is continuous with the tendon of the palmaris longus muscle.
