Anatomy Unit 3: Bones of Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb
Part of scapula that attaches long head of triceps brachii
infraglenoid tubercle
Most lateral projection of scapula
lateral angle
gentle depression on the posterior surface of the humerus indicates the position where the radial n. and deep brachial n. pass against the bone
radial groove
What process is located on inferior surface of clavicle?
Conoid Tubercle
Process on anterior surface of scapula that connects to clavicle via ligament
Coracoid process
Part of scapula that articulates with the head of the humerus
glenoid fossa
Part of scapula that attaches to long head of biceps brachii
supraglenoid tubercle
spool shaped articular process on humerus around which the trochlear notch of ulna articulates
trochlea
digit bone(s)
14: phalanges
