Metacarpals
surface on the radius that receives the head of the ulna
Ulnar notch
deep socket in the hip bone that receives the head of the thigh bone
acetabulum
lateral end of the spine of the scapula; clavicle articulation site
acromion
largest tarsal bone
calcaneus
The ______ are the wrist bones

is the area medial to the flaring iliac bones; it lies superior to the pelvic brim.
false pelvis
longest, strongest bone in body
femur
thin, lateral leg bone
fibula
superiormost margin of the hip bone
iliac crest
fuse to form the hip bone
ilium ischium pubis
rough projection that supports body weight when sitting
ischial tuberoisity
lateral ankle projection
lateral malleolus
Are the bones of the leg shown above from the left or from the right leg?
left
notch loacted inferior to the ischial spine
lesser sciatic notch
small bump on the humerus, often called the "funny bone"
medial epicondyle
medial ankle projection
medial malleolus
bones forming the instep of the foot
metatarsals
opening in hip bone formed by the pubic and ischial rami
obutrator foramen
posterior depression on the distal humerus `
olecranon fossa
kneecap
patella
Proximal row of wrist bones from lateral to medial
pisiform, truquetrum, lunate, scaphoid
point where the hip bones join anteriorly
pubic tuberosity
surface on the ulna that receives the head of the radius
radial notch
joint between axial skeleton and pelvic girdle
sacroiliac joint
tarsal bone that "sits" on the calcaneus
talus
tarsal bone that articulates with the tibia
talus
ankle bones
tarsals
The upper limb is formed by
the humerus, radius and ulna
medial condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna
trochlea
is the region inferior to the pelvic brim which is encircled by bone.
true pelvis
Pectoral girdle
-flexibility most important -lightweight -insecure axial and limb attachments
Each hand has ____ finger bones, called _____
17, phalanges
lateral rounded knob on the distal humerus
Capitulum`
hooklike process; biceps brachii attachment site
Coracoid processe
FOOSH is an acronym that stands for Fall on Outstretched Hand. Discuss possible fractures and dislocations that might occur with an injury of this type.
It is very common to break the hamate and pisiform carpal bones of the wrist; dislocations of the elbow are common in this type of fall.
. A single finger bone is called a
Phalanx
Describe some of the features of the female pelvis that provide for compatibility with vaginal birth
The female pelvis is tilted forward; adapted for childbearing; the cavity of the true pelvis is broad, shallow, and has a greater capacity to allow for passage of the child through the pelvic outlet
Your X-ray exam reveals that you have fractured your fibula. Your physician remarks, "Well, it's better than breaking your tibia." Explain why a fracture of the tibia would be worse than a fracture of the fibula
The fibula provides lateral support and stability for the fibula but it does not play a large role in weight bearing, as does the fibula.
Explain how you can tell which side of the body they are from
The lateral malleolus forms the bulge of the ankle; this is the posterior view of the leg so therefore it must be from the left leg.
Name the two bone markings that form the proximal radioulnar joint.
The radial head of the radius and the radial notch on the ulna
Name the two bone markings that form the distal radioulnar joint
The ulnar head of the ulna and the ulnar notch on the radius.
The bones that form the pectoral girdle are the
clavicle and scapula
anterior depression, superior to the trochlea, that receives part of the ulna when bending at the elbow
cronoid fossa
depression in the scapula that articulates with the humerus
glenoid cavity
sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur
greater and lesser trochanters
permits passage of the sciatic nerve
greater sciatic notch
list the distal row of wrist bones from lateral to medial
hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium
shinbone
tibia
weight-bearing bone of the leg
tibia
point where the patellar ligament attaches
tibial tuberosity
