Dr. Teresa Joy Assistant Professor of Anatomy Office- Block C GC 22 Email: [email protected] [email protected] Study Materials Learning Objectives ANT.6: Understand the structural organization of the upper limb and the functional and clinical correlations. Given a clinical scenario, image, or description, students should be able to: ANT.6.1. Identify key anatomical landmarks of the bones of the upper limb. ANT.6.2. Describe how weight is transmitted from the hand to the axial skeleton. ANT.6.3. Recognize the muscles of the pectoral, scapular, and shoulder regions, their innervation, and actions. ANT.6.4. Recognize the fascial compartments of the arm and forearm, delineating the muscles, their innervation, and actions. ANT.6.5. Recognize the muscles of the hand, their innervation, and actions. ANT.6.6. Recognize the joints of the upper limb, movements at these joints, and the main muscles acting on them. [email protected] ANT.6.1. Identify key anatomical landmarks of the bones of the upper limb. ANT.6.2. Describe how weight is transmitted from the hand to the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton 2 pairs of limbs and 2 girdles 3 regions – arm, forearm, hand Bones of upper extremity (limb) Arm or Brachium – between shoulder and elbow - Humerus Forearm or Antebrachium – between elbow and wrist – Radius & Ulna Hand includes: Wrist (carpus) – 8 carpal bones Palm (metacarpus) – 5 metacarpal bones Fingers (phalanges) – thumb (pollex) has 2; fingers have 3: proximal, middle, distal). Carpal bones : She Looks Too Pretty Try To Catch Her Proximal row (lateral to medial) Scaphoid Lunate Radius Ulna Triquetral Scaphoid Lunate Pisiform Triquetral Trapezium Pisiform Distal row (lateral to medial) Hamate Trapezoid Trapezium Capitate Trapezoid Capitate Hamate Metacarpal bones Carpal bones : She Looks Too Pretty Try To Catch Her Proximal row (lateral to medial) Scaphoid Lunate Radius Ulna Triquetral Scaphoid Lunate Pisiform Triquetral Trapezium Pisiform Distal row (lateral to medial) Hamate Trapezoid Trapezium Capitate Trapezoid Capitate Hamate Metacarpal bones Pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle) Clavicle – anterior; collar/beauty bone Sternal end articulates to manubrium medially Acromial end articulates with scapula laterally Scapula – posterior; shoulder blade Anatomical landmarks of the bones of the upper limb Clavicle Scapula: coracoid process, acromion process, spine Greater & lesser tubercles of humerus Medial and lateral epicondyles of humerus Ulna: olecranon process, styloid process of ulna Radius: radial head, styloid process of radius Metacarpal heads and phalanges ANT.6.2. Describe how weight is transmitted from the hand to the axial skeleton. Forces of the upper limb are transmitted to the axial skeleton by clavicle via costoclavicular ligament and sternoclavicular joint. Fall On Outstretched Hand (FOOSH) ANT.6.3.
