Terms in this set (55)

  • appendicular skeleton (how many borns, forms?)

    126 bones that form limbs, pectoral, and pelvic girdles

  • function of appendicular skeleton

    facilitates locomotiona nd manipulation of object (grabbing stuff)

  • what does the pectoral girdle connect

    upper limbs to trunk and consists of clavicles and scapulae

  • what is the clavicle; what does it articulate on the medial end

    S-shaped bone; medial end articulates w/ manubrium of sternum creating sternoclavicular joint

  • lateral end of clavicle articulates with

    acronium of scapula to form acromiclavicular joint

  • scapula what is it?

    broad, flat, triangular bone

  • the glenoid cavity of the scapula articulates with the (finish sentence)

    glenohumeral joint

  • regions of the upper limb

    arm (brachium), forearm (antebrachium), and hand

  • each upper limb contain _ bones

    30

  • bones of arm

    humerus

  • bones of forearm

    radius (lateral) and ulna (medial)

  • bones of hand

    carpals (wrist), metacarpals (palm), phalanges (fingers)

  • what the humerus articulate with (3 things)

    proximally the scapula and distally the radius and ulna

  • proximal articulation of humerus (what is it)

    head articulates with the glenoid cavity of scapula to form shoulder joint

  • distal articulations of humerus

    trochlea medial with ulna, capitulum lateral with radius to form elbow joint

  • coronoid fossa (what it do)

    anterior portion, receives coronoid process of ulna

  • radial fossa

    anterior, receives head of radius

  • olecranon fossa

    posterior, receives olecranon process of ulna

  • ulna is positioned

    medially

  • radius is postioned

    laterally

  • ulna olecranon forms the

    elbow point

  • ulnat trocdhlear notch articulates with the

    humerus

  • ulna coronoid process forms the

    inferior margin of the trochlear notch

  • radial notch of ulna articulates with the _ and forms the

    radius and forms the proximal radioulnar joint

  • ulnar styloid process is a

    connective tissue attachment point

  • radial head articulates with the (2 things)

    capitulum of humerus and radial notch of ulna

  • radial tuberosity is a (attachment)

    biceps brachii attachment point

  • radial styloid process stabilizes

    wrist joint

  • ulnar notch articulates with head of (to form?)

    ulna to form distal radioulnar joint

  • pelvic girdle is copmosed of ?

    2 hip (coxal) bones

  • what are the hip bones formed by

    fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis

  • pelvis includes (bones)

    coxal bones, sacrum, coccyx

  • ilium (what is the region)

    superior & largest

  • ischium (region)

    postinferior region

  • what bears weight when sitting

    ischial tuberosity

  • pubis (region)

    anterior region

  • what does the pubic symphysis do and how

    unites left and right hipbones via fibrocartilag

  • acetabulum

    deep socket for articulation w femur creating hip joint

  • obturator foramen; what is it covered by and its function

    covered by collagen fibers serving as a muscle attachment site

  • articulates with sacrum forming sacroiliac joint

    auricular surface

  • thigh bone

    femur

  • longest and heaviest bone of lower limb

    femur

  • leg bones

    tibia and fibula

  • what bone is the medial portion, serving as a weight bearer

    tibia

  • bone thats lateral, serving as muscle attachment site

    fibula

  • foot bones

    tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges

  • head of femur articulates w/ __ to form __

    acetabulum to form hip joint

  • greater and lesser tronchanters, linea asepra

    muscle attachment sites

  • condyles function

    articulate with tibia to form knee joint

  • patella

    sesamoid bone embedded in quadricepts tendon

  • ligament attachments of patella and their direction

    quadriceps tendon (superior/anterior), patellar ligament (inferior, anterior)

  • tibia condyles articulate with

    femur to form knee joint

  • tibial tuberosity

    patellar ligament attachment

  • fibula head articulates with

    tibia to form proximal tibiofibular joint
