Study Notes
Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb Bones
- Scapula:
- Acromion: Bony prominence, highest point of shoulder, deltoid muscle attachment
- Coracoid process: Hook-like structure, pectoralis minor and ligaments attachment
- Spine: Prominent ridge, trapezius and deltoid muscle attachment
- Glenoid cavity: Shallow, cup-like depression, articulates with humerus head, forming shoulder joint
- Clavicle:
- Sternoclavicular joint: Where sternum and clavicle meet, connects upper limb to axial skeleton, limited movement, shoulder stabilization
- Humerus:
- Head: Rounded, ball-like top, fits into glenoid cavity, forming shoulder joint
- Ulna:
- Head: Smaller, rounded end, wrist joint, forearm rotation
- Olecranon: Bony elbow prominence, triceps brachii attachment, elbow joint
- Radius:
- Head: Rounded, disc-shaped top, forearm rotation, pronation, supination
- Carpals: Eight small wrist bones, flexibility and support, hand movements
- Metacarpals: Five palm bones, hand framework, gripping, hand movements
- Phalanges: Fourteen finger bones (three in each finger, two in thumb), fine motor movements
Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limb Bones
- Coxal bone:
- Ilium: Upper edge, muscle attachment
- Ischium:
- Pubis:
- Acetabulum: Cup-shaped socket, femur attachment, hip joint
- Iliac crest (greater): Upper edge of the ilium, attachment site for muscles
- Sciatic notch: Notch on the back of ilium, sciatic nerve passage to thigh
- Sacroiliac joint: Joint between sacrum and ilium, pelvis stabilization, weight transfer
- Obturator foramen: Large hole in pelvic bones, nerve and blood vessel passage to legs
- Pubic arch: Angle formed by pubic bones, wider in females for childbirth

- Phalanges (toes): Similar to fingers, movement, balance and stability during walking
Articulations (Joints)
- Fibrous joints:
- Sutures: Immovable joints between skull bones (e.g., between parietal and frontal bones); thin layer of dense irregular connective tissue
- Syndesmoses: Limited movement; denser irregular connective tissue (e.g., interosseous ligaments between tibia and fibula, interosseous membrane between radius and ulna, gomphoses - teeth in sockets).
- Cartilaginous joints:
- Synchondroses: Limited or no movement; hyaline or fibrocartilage (e.g., costal cartilage of 1st rib to manubrium, epiphyseal plate in growing bone)
- Symphyses: Slightly movable; hyaline and fibrocartilage (e.g., pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs).
- Synovial joints:
- Plane: Flat or slightly curved surfaces, gliding movements, biaxial (e.g., between carpal bones, between tarsal bones, acromion and clavicle).
- Hinge: Convex-concave structure, monaxial, flexion and extension (e.g., elbow, knee)
- Pivot: Rotation around axis, monaxial (e.g., atlas and axis; radius and ulna)
- Ellipsoid/Condylar: Oval surfaces, biaxial, flexion/extension, abduction/adduction (e.g., wrist, knuckle joint)
- Saddle: Concave-convex surfaces, biaxial, more movement than ellipsoid (e.g., carpometacarpal joint of thumb, sternoclavicular joint)

Skeletal Muscles
- Functions: Provide voluntary movement, heat production, maintain posture
- Facial Expressions Muscles: (e.g., Orbicularis oris, platysma, Occipitofrontalis )
