Study Notes
Shoulder and Arm Bone Structures
-
Clavicle: A bone that connects the sternum (breastbone) to the scapula (shoulder blade). Has three parts: sternal end, shaft, and acromial end.
-
Scapula (Shoulder Blade): A flat, triangular bone located in the upper back. Can be viewed from the front (anterior) and back (posterior) sides.
-
Humerus (Upper Arm Bone): A long bone with three distinct regions:
- Proximal End: The end closest to the shoulder joint, with a head, greater tubercle, and lesser tubercle.
- Shaft: The main or middle portion of the humerus.
- Distal End: The end closest to the elbow, with a trochlea, capitulum, and epicondyles.
-
Medial, Lateral, and Neurovascular Bundle: These terms refer to the arrangement of nerves, blood vessels, and tissues in the region, but the specifics of their arrangement within the bones of the shoulder and arm aren't fully described here.
