phalanges
finger bones
radius
forearm bones
metacarpals
heads of these bones form the knuckles
olecranon fossa
posterior depression on the distal humerus
medial epicondyle
small bump often called the "funny bone"
radial notch

Coronoid Fossa
Anterior depression, superior to the Trochlea, which receives part of the ulna when the forearm is flexed
Humerus
Arm bone
Glenoid Cavity
Depression in the scapula that articulates with the humerus
Trochlea
Distal condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna
Ulna
Medial bone of forearm in anatomical position
Caracoid Process
Process above the Glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment
Deltoid tuberousity
Raises area in lateral surface of humerus to which deltoid muscle attaches
Capitulum
Rounded knob on the humerus; adjoins the radius
Acromion
Scapular region to which the clavicle connects
Clavicle
Should girdle bone that transmits forces from the upper limb to the bony thorax
Scapula
