Study Notes
Skull
- The skull comprises the bones of the head, surrounding the brain.
-
Cranial bones:
- Frontal bone (front)
- Parietal bone (top)
- Occipital bone (back)
- Temporal bone (beside the ear)
- Sphenoid bone (anterior to the temporal bone)
- Ethmoid bone (midline, posterior to the nose, inferior to frontal)
-
Facial bones:
- Nasal bone (bridge of the nose)
- Maxilla (connects nose, cheekbones, and upper teeth)
- Zygomatic bones (cheekbones)
- Mandible (jaw bone, connects to the temporal bone at the TMJ)
Spine
- The spine consists of vertebrae, numbered from top to bottom.
-
Vertebral sections:
- 7 Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7)
- 12 Thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12)
- 5 Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5)
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
- C1 (Atlas) and C2 (Axis): Specialized vertebrae at the top of the spine.
Upper Limb
- Clavicle (collarbone): Horizontal bone between the sternum and shoulder.
- Scapula (shoulder blade): Flat, triangular bone at the back.
- Humerus: Upper arm bone.
- Glenoid fossa: Concave area on the scapula that articulates with the humerus to form the Glenohumeral joint.
- Radius and Ulna: Bones of the forearm, connecting to the humerus at the elbow and to the carpal bones at the wrist.
- Carpal bones: 8 bones of the wrist.
- Metacarpal bones: 5 bones of the palm (numbered 1-5 from thumb to pinky).
- Phalanges: Finger bones. Each finger has 3 phalanges (proximal, middle, distal); the thumb has 2.
Thorax
- Clavicle: Attaches to the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint.
- Sternum: The breastbone, made of manubrium (top), body (middle), and xiphoid process (bottom).
- Sternoclavicular joint: Connects the clavicle and the sternum.
- 12 ribs: Parallel bones, each labelled 1-12, attaching to the thoracic vertebrae.
- Costal cartilages: Connect most ribs to the sternum.
- Floating ribs: Ribs 11 and 12, not attached to the sternum.
Pelvis
- The pelvis is composed of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
- Sacrum: Attaches to the ilium at the sacroiliac joint.
- Pubis: Bones at the front of the pelvis that fuse in the center at the pubic symphysis.
- Ischium: Inferior part of the pelvis.
- Acetabulum: Hip joint socket, formed by the junction of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
Lower Limb
- Femur (thigh bone): Longest bone in the body. Attaches to the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint.
- Tibia and Fibula: Lower leg bones (tibia is medial; fibula is lateral) that articulate with the femur.
- Patella (kneecap): Bone at the front of the knee joint.
Ankle and Foot
- Tarsal bones: 7 bones in the ankle (Talus, Calcaneus, Cuboid, Navicular, three cuneiform bones).
- Talus: The bone articulates with the tibia and fibula at the ankle joint.
- Metatarsals: 5 bones of the foot (numbered 1-5 from big toe to little toe).
- Phalanges: Toe bones. Each toe has 3 phalanges (proximal, middle, distal), except for the big toe, which has only 2.
