Study Notes
Carpal and Metatarsal Bones
- The appendicular skeleton contains eight carpal bones.
- There are five metatarsal bones in the lower limbs.
Pectoral Girdle
- The shoulder girdle is also referred to as the pectoral girdle.
- The pectoral girdle consists of two scapulae.
- Clavicles originate at the manubrium of the sternum in the pectoral girdle.
- The shoulder blade is another name for the scapula.
Scapula Anatomy
- The conoid tubercle and costal tuberosity serve as attachment points for the coracoclavicular ligament.
- The glenoid cavity is located on the lateral border of the scapula.
- The anterior, smaller process of the scapula is the coracoid process.
- The scapula has three borders: superior, medial, and lateral.
Shoulder Joint and Processes
- The joint formed by the articulation of the glenoid cavity and the humerus is known as the glenohumeral joint.
- The acromion of the scapula articulates with the lateral end of the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint.
- The region of the scapular posterior surface separated by the scapular spine is the supraspinous fossa and infraspinous fossa.
Limb Phalanges and Bone Articulation
- There are fourteen phalanges found in the upper limbs.
- The bones that articulate with the clavicles include the scapulae and the sternum.
- The total number of metacarpal bones in the upper limbs is five.
Function and Movement
- The major function of the pectoral girdle is to connect the upper limbs to the torso and facilitate movement.
- The appendicular skeleton allows for movement and manipulation of objects.
Arm Terminology
- The term "brachium" is another name for the arm.
Proximal Humerus
- The proximal epiphysis of the humerus features two tubercles: the greater and lesser tubercles.
