Study Notes
Anatomy of the Ulna and Carpals
- Trochlear notch is bordered by the olecranon and coronoid processes of the ulna.
- The rounded concavity on the lateral side of the coronoid process is the radial notch.
- The prominent ridge on the lateral surface of the ulnar shaft is known as the lateral border.
- The concavity between the supinator crest and distal part of the coronoid process is called the supinator fossa.
Carpal Bones
- The largest carpal bone in the proximal row is the scaphoid.
- The carpal tunnel is formed by the flexor retinaculum, converting the carpal arch.
- The carpal tunnel allows passage for 9 tendons and the median nerve.
- All fingers have three phalanges, however, the thumb has only two.
Bones and Features of the Upper Limb
- Each digit is composed of three bones: proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and distal phalanx.
- The hook-like structure on the palmar surface of the hamate bone is called the hamulus.
- The scapula covers the posterolateral aspect of the thorax, overlying the 2nd to 7th ribs.
- The clavicle features a prominent conoid tubercle near its acromial end, close to the trapezoid line.
Muscle Attachments and Bone Structures
- The subclavian muscle attaches to the clavicle.
- The humerus has a lateral lip and a medial lip associated with the intertubercular sulcus.
- The humerus also features a radial groove on its posterior surface.
- The deltoid muscle attaches at the deltoid tuberosity located laterally on the humerus body.
Joint Articulations
- The head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus.
- The shape of the clavicle is S-shaped (also described as a double curve).
- The medial end of the clavicle is directed toward the scapula.
Skeleton Composition
- The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.
- The appendicular skeleton consists of bones of the limbs and girdles.
- The upper limb is comprised of the humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
- The pelvic girdle is made up of the two hip bones (ossa coxae) and sacrum.
- The shoulder girdle is formed by the clavicle and scapula.
Additional Bone Features
- The conoid tubercle is located near the acromial end of the clavicle.
- The ulnar notch is found at the distal end of the ulna.
- The tuberosity of the ulna is situated superiorly toward the elbow.
- The rounded concavity on the lateral side of the coronoid process serves as a surface for radius articulation.
Joints and Fractures
- A joint lacking at least two degrees of freedom cannot perform circumduction.
- The radiocarpal joint is also termed the wrist joint.
- The scaphoid is notably the largest and most commonly fractured carpal bone.
- The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel, alongside the tendon structures.
