Study Notes
Upper Extremity Skeleton
- Scapula: Triangular bone situated over ribs 2-7; has costal (anterior) and dorsal (posterior) surfaces, with superior, lateral, medial borders, and angles.
- Key processes of scapula include:
- Spine of scapula
- Acromion
- Coracoid process
- Clavicle: Palpable and subcutaneous, with an S-shaped contour; connects manubrium to acromion.
- Humerus: Longest and largest upper limb bone consisting of proximal end (head, anatomical neck, greater and lesser tubercles), body, and distal end (capitulum and trochlea for joint articulation with radius and ulna).
- Forearm Bones: Comprise of radius (lateral) and ulna (medial).
- Wrist and Hand:
- Carpal bones: 8 total, with proximal row (scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform) and distal row (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate).
- Carpal tunnel: Formed by a fibrous retinaculum over the carpal groove.
Lower Extremity Skeleton
- Regions include the gluteal, thigh, leg, and foot.
- Pelvis: Comprised of sacrum, coccyx, and hip bones (ilium, ischium, pubis).
- Ilium: Features include body (true pelvis), ala (false pelvis), iliac crest, and various spines.
- Ischium: Contains the body, ramus, ischial spine, and notches.
- Pubis: Composed of body, superior ramus, and inferior ramus.
- Hip Bone: Forms acetabulum and obturator foramen.
Femur and Knee
- Femur: Represents about one-fourth of a person's height; proximal end features greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, intertrochanteric line, and neck (common fracture site).
- Distal end consists of medial and lateral condyles, medial and lateral epicondyles, and patellar surface.
- Patella: Largest sesamoid bone, triangular in shape with an apex and a base.
Leg Skeleton
- Comprised of tibia (medial) and fibula (lateral).
- Tibia:
- Proximal end includes medial and lateral condyles, tibial tuberosity, and superior articular surface.
- Distal end features medial malleolus and fibular notch.
- Fibula: Includes head, neck, and various borders and surfaces.
Foot Skeleton
- Tarsal Bones: 7 total, including talus, calcaneus, navicular, 3 cuneiforms, and 1 cuboid.
- Metatarsal Bones: 5 total.
- Digital Bones (Phalanges): 14 total, forming the toes.
