Anatomy- names of bones in limbs

name the 3 areas of bones in the foot

- phalanges - metatarsals - tarsals

name the 3 areas of bones in the hand

- phalanges (14 bones) - metacarpals (5 bones) - carpals (8 bones)

name the bones of the leg

- tibia (thicker bone) - fibula - medial malleolus (malleoli, the bony protuberance on either side of the ankle) - lateral malleolus (malleoli, the bony protuberance on either side of the ankle)

Name two areas of limb bones?

- upper limb - lower limb

anterior (forward facing), name the bones in the thigh (femur)

(largest, strongest bone in body) - neck

name the bones in the Pelvic Girdle (hip)

- Os coxae (hip bone) - iliac crest - sacrum - ASIS (anterior Superior Iliac Spine) - ilium - coccyx - pubis - ischium - ischial tuberosity

Bones- Limbs (Leg)

- Thigh: femur; one thick strong long bone, has rounded head sticking out at an angle from the majority of the long bone. The head fits into the hip and allows large movement. The end of the remus that fits into the knew joint has two epicondyles one on each side. - Kneecap: patella; small flat bone is deep in the tendon of a big muscle covering the front of the thigh. Helps to arrange thigh muscle so it works most efficiently - Calf; tibia and fibula; tibia is thicker and longer, they are roughly side by side, tibia on the big toe side and the fibula on little toe side. - Foot; Tarsals; connecting of tibia and fibula, then metatarsals next and phalanges last (toes)

Bones- Limbs (arm)

- Upper Arm: Humerus; at the shoulder king, the head of it is shaped like a hemisphere. Allows large range of movement of the arm. At the elbow end has two protruding bumps called epicondyles, one of the inside and one on the outside. - Forearm: radius and ulna, both stretch from elbow to hand. Radius is shorter and thicker and on the same side as the thumb and the ulna is on the other side. The range of movement is limited. - Fingers; carpals, phalanges, metacarpals. Carpals is the bone off the Ulna and Radius, then is the metacarpals and the fingers- phalanges.

Posterior (turned), name the bones in the pectoral girdle

- clavicle - acromion - greater tubercle - lateral epicondyle: rounded projection at the end of a bone - medial epicondyle: rounded projection at the end of a bone - humerus - inferior angle - spine - scapula (shoulder): triangular flat bones that lies between ribs 2 and 7

Anterior (forward facing), name the bones in the pectoral girdle

- clavicle (collar bone): only the clavicle attaches to the axial skeleton, allowing the scapula to move freely. The clavicles act as braces and attachment sites for many muscles. - coracoid process - lesser tubercle

names the bones in the foot

- distal - medial - proximal - talus (involved in the ankle joint) - calcaneus (heel bone)

name the bones in the hand

- distal - middle - proximal - pisiform (pea shaped bone which is palpable)

anterior (forward facing), name the bones in the knee

- femur - lateral condyle - medial condyle (left, rounded projection on a bone)

posterior (turned), name the bones in the thigh (femur)

- head - greater trochanter - lesser trochanter - medial condyle (right) - lateral condyle

posterior (turned), name the bones in the forearm (ante brachium)

- humerus or brachium (arm) - ulna (medial forearm, slightly longer than radius) - radius

anterior (forward facing), name the bones in the forearm (ante brachium)

- humerus or brachium (arm) - ulna (medial forearm, slightly longer than radius) - radius (lateral forearm) - olecranon (elbow) - radial tuberosity (anchors the bicep muscle to the arm) - radius - ulna - radial styloid process

Name two of the body's limb girdles

- pectoral (shoulder) - pelvic (hip)
