Study Notes
Clavicular Articulations
- The sternal end of the clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum, forming the sternoclavicular joint.
- The acromial end of the clavicle articulates with the acromian process of the scapula, creating the acromioclavicular joint.
Joint Formation
- Sternal end of the clavicle and manubrium of the sternum create the sternoclavicular joint.
- Acromial end of the clavicle and acromian process of the scapula form the acromioclavicular joint.
Humeral Articulations
- The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula, forming the glenohumeral joint.
- The trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna.
- The capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius.
Radioulnar Connections
- The head of the radius articulates with both the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna.
- The radial notch of the ulna is the articulation point for the head of the radius.
Elbow Joint
- The olecranon process of the ulna articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus, crucial for elbow movement.
Siding Bones
- Scapula: Identify the spine (posterior surface) and glenoid fossa (lateral surface) to side the scapula.
- Clavicle: The acromial end indicates lateral orientation, while the medial end connects to the sternum; the inferior surface is bumpy.
- Humerus: The head (medial side) and olecranon fossa (posterior surface) are key features for siding.
- Ulna: The radial notch (lateral side) and trochlear notch (anterior surface) help in identifying orientation.
- Radius: The radial tuberosity (anterior surface) and styloid process (lateral surface) guide the siding process.
