Study Notes
Skull
- Composed of cranial and facial bones
- Cranial bones surround the brain
- Frontal bone (front)
- Parietal bone (top)
- Occipital bone (back)
- Temporal bone (side, near ear)
- Sphenoid bone (anterior to temporal)
- Ethmoid bone (midline, posterior to nose, inferior to frontal)
- Facial bones form face structure
- Nasal bone (bridge of nose)
- Maxilla (connects nose, cheekbones, upper teeth)
- Zygomatic bones (cheekbones)
- Mandible (jaw bone)
- Connects to temporal bone at temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
Spine
- Composed of vertebrae
- 7 Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7):
- C1 (Atlas)
- C2 (Axis)
- 12 Thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12)
- 5 Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5)
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
- 7 Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7):
- Vertebrae numbered from top down
- C1 connects to skull base; C7 connects to T1; T1-T12; L1 and the sacrum
Upper Limb
- Clavicle (collarbone)
- Horizontal, connecting sternum to shoulder
- Scapula (shoulder blade)
- Flat, triangular bone at back
- Humerus (upper arm bone)
- Head of humerus meets glenoid fossa (concave area on scapula) to form glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint)
- Radius and ulna (forearm bones)
- Connect to humerus at elbow joint
- Connect to carpal bones at wrist
- 8 Carpal bones (wrist)
- 5 Metacarpal bones (hand)
- Numbered 1-5 (thumb to little finger)
- Phalanges (fingers and thumb)
- Proximal, middle, and distal phalanges (fingers)
- Proximal and distal phalanges (thumb)
- Joints: MCP (metacarpophalangeal), PIP (proximal interphalangeal), DIP (distal interphalangeal), CMC (carpometacarpal)
Thorax
- Clavicle (collarbone)
- Attaches to sternum at sternoclavicular joint
- Sternum (breastbone)
- Manubrium (upper portion)
- Body of sternum
- Xiphoid process (tip)
- Sternum joins in at sternal angle
- 12 Ribs
- Labeled 1-12 (corresponding to thoracic vertebrae)
- Costal cartilages connect ribs to sternum
- Floating ribs (ribs 11 and 12)
- Do not attach to sternum
Pelvis
- Composed of ilium, ischium, and pubis bones
- Sacrum (at base of spine)
- Attaches to ilium at sacroiliac joint
- Pubis
- Two pubis bones join at pubic symphysis (front)
- Ischium (inferiorly)
- Acetabulum—hip joint socket
- Formed where ilium, ischium, and pubis meet
Lower Limb
- Femur (thigh bone)
- Longest bone in body
- Head of femur connects to acetabulum (hip joint)
- Tibia and fibula (lower leg bones)
- Tibia (medial)
- Fibula (lateral)
- Connect to femur to form knee joint
- Patella (kneecap)
- Front of knee joint
Ankle and Foot
- Ankle joint formed by tibia, fibula, and tarsal bones
- 7 Tarsal bones
- Talus (ankle joint)
- Calcaneus
- Cuboid
- Navicular
- Three cuneiform bones
- 5 Metatarsal bones (foot)
- Numbered 1-5 (big toe to little toe)
- Phalanges (toes)
- Proximal, middle, and distal (toes except big toe)
- Big toe has only proximal and distal phalanges
