    Study Notes

    Arm and Hand Bones

    • Humerus:

      • The upper arm bone, connecting the shoulder to the elbow.
    • Radius:

      • Smaller and shorter bone of the forearm, located on the thumb side.
    • Ulna:

      • The larger and longer bone in the forearm; proximal end articulates with the distal end of the humerus, forming the elbow joint.
    • Olecranon Process:

      • Also known as the "funny bone"; a large projection at the upper end of the ulna that forms the point of the elbow; exposes a nerve that causes a tingling sensation when struck.
    • Carpals:

      • Eight bones in each hand that make up the wrist.
    • Metacarpals:

      • Five bones in each hand that form the palm.
    • Phalanges:

      • Fourteen bones in each hand that constitute the fingers.
    • Structure of Each Finger:

      • Comprised of three sections: distal (farthest from the body), middle, and proximal (nearest the body).
    • Hallux:

      • Also referred to as the thumb; contains only two bones: proximal and distal phalanges.
