Interosseous membrane is dense regular connective tissue that holds together ulna and radius. Ulna and Radius "Ulna and Radius" by OpenStax is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Hand Bones • 8 Carpal Bones form wrist: Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Hamate, Capitate, Trapezoid, Trapezium. • Mnemonic for Carpals: So Long To Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb. Start from anterior view, lateral side (aka thumb/pollex-side) and from a C with the two rows of bones (from Scaphoid to Pisiform, then from Hamate to Trapezium). • Digits (fingers) 1 to 5: digit 1 is pollex (thumb), digit 2 is index finger, etc. • 5 Metacarpal Bones (1 to 5) form palm of hands. • 14 Phalanx Bones (pl. phalanges): proximal, middle and distal (except for pollex which is missing the middle one). Wrist and Hand "Hand and Wrist" by OpenStax is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Pelvic Girdle • Pelvic girdle is formed by: • Os Coxae (sing.) or Ossa Coxae (pl.). • Serves as the attachment point for each lower limb. • Each hip bone firmly joined to the axial skeleton via its attachment to the sacrum. • Pelvis is composed of: • • • • 2 Ossa Coxae Sacrum Coccyx Pubic symphysis Pelvis Os Coxae "Pelvis" by OpenStax is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Overview of Differences between Female and Male Pelvis Pelvic weight Pelvic inlet shape Lesser pelvic cavity shape Subpubic angle Pelvic outlet Female pelvis Bones of the pelvis are lighter and thinner Pelvic inlet has a round or oval shape Lesser pelvic cavity is shorter and wider Subpubic angle is greater than 80 degrees Pelvic outlet Male pelvis Bones of the pelvis are thicker and heavier Pelvic inlet is heart-shaped Lesser pelvic cavity is longer and narrower Subpubic angle is less than 70 degrees Pelvic outlet Female and Male Pelvis Image "Male Female Pelvic Girdle" by OpenStax is licensed under CC BY 3.0 Os Coxae I • Composed by 3 bones that fuse together around age 15 forming 3 regions: • Ilium (most superior) • Pubis (most anterior) • Ischium (most inferior) • Acetabulum is articulating surface with the head of femur (lateral). • Iliac crest is most superior elevation. • Other elevations: • Anterior superior iliac spine • Anterior inferior iliac spine • Posterior superior iliac spine • Posterior inferior iliac spine Os Coxae II • Greater sciatic notch is depression inferior to PIIS. • Ischial spine is elevation inferior to greater sciatic notch. • Ischial tuberosity is elevation where you sit on (inferior). • Obturator foramen is opening for obturator nerve. • Iliac fossa on medial surface of ilium. • Auricular surface is articulating surface for sacrum (medial).
