Study Notes
Long Bone Structure
- The bone exhibiting a long bone structure without a medullary cavity is the clavicle.
Pectoral Girdle Components
- The pectoral girdle consists of the clavicle and scapula, connecting the upper limb to the trunk.
Clavicle Articulation
- The medial end of the clavicle articulates with the sternum, facilitating stability of the shoulder girdle.
Subcutaneous Point of the Shoulder
- The acromion process of the scapula forms the subcutaneous point of the shoulder, serving as a landmark on the body.
Function of the Pectoral Girdle
- The pectoral girdle serves to support the upper limbs and provide a wide range of motion for arm movements.
Scapula's Finger-like Process
- The coracoid process of the scapula resembles a bent finger and assists in anchoring muscles.
Glenoid Cavity
- The glenoid cavity of the scapula forms a shallow, concave oval fossa that articulates with the head of the humerus, allowing for shoulder joint movement.
Largest Bone in the Upper Limb
- The humerus is the largest bone in the upper limb, supporting the arm and providing attachment points for muscles.
Deltoid Tuberosity Location
- The deltoid tuberosity is located on the lateral aspect of the humerus, serving as an attachment for the deltoid muscle.
Elbow Prominence
- The olecranon process of the ulna forms the prominence of the elbow, contributing to the elbow joint's structure.
Articulation with Humerus Trochlea
- The ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus, forming part of the elbow joint.
Radial Notch Location
- The radial notch is located on the ulna, allowing for the articulation with the head of the radius, facilitating forearm rotation.
Stabilizing Bone of the Forearm
- The ulna is considered the stabilizing bone of the forearm, supporting the forearm's structure.
Spiral (Radial) Groove Location
- The spiral (radial) groove is located on the posterior surface of the humerus, being an important landmark for muscle attachment.
Subscapular Fossa
- The subscapular fossa is a concave anterior surface of the scapula, serving as a site for muscle attachment (subscapularis muscle).
Articulation with Humerus Capitulum
- The head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus, contributing to the function of the elbow joint.
