Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 5 The Skeletal System: Appendicular Skeleton

metatarsals

5 __________ form the sole of the foot

carpal bones

8 small bones of the carpus (wrist)

appendicular skeleton

Bones of the limbs and pectoral and pelvic girdles which attach to the axial skeleton; composed of 126 bones

coxal bone

Commonly called the hip bone; composed of 3 parts illium, ischium, and pubis

ilium

Name this specific region of the coxal bone.

pubic arch

The angle formed by the pubic bones below the pubic symphysis

hand

The carpals (wrist), metacarpals (palm) and phalanges (fingers) are the bones of the:

fibula

The lateral and smaller bone of the lower leg

foot

The tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges make up the bones of the:

humerus

bone of the upper arm

phalanges

bones of the fingers and toes

phalanges

bones of the fingers and toes; thumb and "big toe" are the only phalanges with only a promixal and distal bone, the others have middle bones as well.

metacarpals

bones of the palm of the hand; named 1-5 with 1 being the thumb (distal)

pectoral girdle

clavicle & scapula, which attach the upper limbs to the trunk; shoulder girdle

scapula

shoulder blade; triangular "wing" that flares when we move our arm posteriorly

clavicle

the collar bone, a slender bone that connects the manubrium of the sternum to the scapula

tibia

the medial and larger bone of the lower leg; shinbone

femur

thigh bone of the leg; the longest and strongest bone in the body

interosseous membrane

flexible membrane connecting radius and ulna & tibia and fibula

pelvic girdle

hip bones and sacrum which attach to the axial skeleton via the sacral attachment to the lower lumbar vertabra; bearing weight is the most important function; together with the coccyx form the pelvis

patella

kneecap, sesamoid bone

radius

lateral bone of the forearm

ulna

medial bone of the forearm

Arches of the foot

medial longitudinal, lateral longitudinal, transverse

tarsus

ankle (tarsal bones)
