Study Notes

Introduction to Anatomy

  • Course material presented by Prof. Amjad Al-Shatarat, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Aqaba Medical Sciences University, 2024.

Shoulder Girdle

  • Composed of the clavicle and scapula.
  • The clavicle has two ends: acromial (lateral) and sternal (medial).
  • The clavicle articulates medially with the manubrium of the sternum and laterally with the acromion of the scapula.

Scapula

  • Contains the acromion process, coracoid process, and glenoid cavity.
  • The glenoid cavity articulates with the head of the humerus to form the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint.

Bones of the Upper Limbs

  • Each upper limb consists of the humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

Humerus

  • The bone of the arm.
  • Has an upper end, lower end, and a shaft.
    • The upper end includes the head, anatomical neck, surgical neck, greater tubercle, and lesser tubercle.
    • The lower end includes the medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, capitulum, and trochlea.

Forearm Bones (Ulna and Radius)

  • The ulna is medial, and the radius is lateral in the forearm.
    • The ulna has an olecranon, trochlear notch, coronoid process, and ulnar tuberosity.
    • The radius has a head, neck, and radial tuberosity.

Wrist Bones (Carpals)

  • The carpals are arranged in two rows: proximal and distal.
  • The proximal row consists of scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform.
  • The distal row consists of trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
  • These bones facilitate precise hand movements.

Hand Bones (Metacarpals and Phalanges)

  • The metacarpals lead to the phalanges (finger bones).

Hip Bone

  • Composed of three bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
  • Triradiate cartilage joins these bones at the acetabulum.
  • The hip bones articulate with the sacrum posteriorly, and with each other anteriorly at the symphysis pubis.

Femur

  • The thigh bone.
  • Has an upper end (head, neck, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter), a shaft/body, and a lower end (medial and lateral condyles, medial and lateral epicondyles).

Patella

  • A triangular sesamoid bone within the patellar ligament.

Tibia

  • The shin bone, with an upper end (lateral and medial condyles, tibial tuberosity), a shaft/body, and a lower end (medial malleolus).

Fibula

  • Lateral bone of the lower leg (has a head, neck, and lateral malleolus).

Foot Bones (Tarsals, Metatarsals, Phalanges)

  • Tarsals include calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular and cuneiform bones
  • Metatarsals lead to the phalanges (toe bones).

Foot Arches

  • The arches of the foot distribute body weight effectively.
  • The arches are usually fully developed by age 12 or 13.
    • The key arches are medial longitudinal, lateral longitudinal, and transverse.

Flat Foot

  • A condition where the medial longitudinal arch is flattened or collapsed.
  • Causes can be congenital or acquired.
