💀 The Skeletal System

Pubis

In human anatomy, the pelvis (plural pelves or pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs

Metatarsals

Metatarsals are part of the bones of the mid-foot and are tubular in shape. They are named by numbers and start from the medial side onward. The medial side is the same side as the big toe.

Femur

The femur (pl. femurs or femora ), or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the center of the body) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking.

Fibula

The fibula is the name of one of the paired bones in the lower leg of human beings. The other, the tibia, is much thicker, and the fibula connects to it by means of both appropriate articulation and ligaments.

Humerous

The humerus is the long bone in the upper arm, located between the elbow joint and the shoulder. At the elbow, it connects primarily to the ulna, as the forearm's radial bone connects to the wrist.

Ilium

The ilium is the largest of three bones that fuse together over time to comprise the outer sections of the pelvis.

Mandible

The mandible or lower jaw is the bone that forms the lower part of the skull and along with the maxilla forms the mouth. Movement of the lower jaw opens and closes the mouth and also allows for the chewing of food.

MetaCarpals

The metacarpals are long bones in miniature that are connected to the carpals, or wrist bones, at the wrist, and connect from there to the phalanges, or finger bones. The metacarpals together are referred to as the "metacarpus."

Patella

The patella is commonly referred to as the kneecap. It is a small, independent bone that rests between the femur and tibia. The femur, also known as the thigh bone, has a dedicated groove that the kneecap slides along.

Phalanges (Foot)

The phalanges of the foot correspond, in number and general arrangement, with those of the hand; there are two in the great toe, and three in each of the other toes. They differ from them, however, in their size, the bodies being much reduced in length, and, especially in the first row, laterally compressed.

Radius

The radius or radial bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm, the other being the ulna. It extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb.

Ribs

The rib cage is an arrangement of bones in the thorax of humans. It is formed by the vertebral column, ribs and sternum and encloses the heart and lung

Sacrum

The sacrum is a bone located at the base of the spine that consists of five vertebrae. These vertebrae are unfused in children, but by the age of 26 they will be fused together.

Scapula

The scapula is commonly referred to as the shoulder blade. It connects the humerus bone of the arm to the collarbone. There are only three muscles that are responsible for the movement of the shoulder blade.

Clavicle

The shoulder is the most freely moveable joint in the body. The extreme range of its possible movements makes the shoulder joint susceptible to dislocation. One of the bones that meet at the shoulder is the clavicle, which is also known as the collarbone

Tarsals

The skeleton of the foot consists of three parts: the tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges. The tarsal bones are seven in number, viz., the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the first, second, and third cuneiforms.

Carpals

The skeleton of the hand is subdivided into three segments: the carpus or wrist bones; the metacarpus or bones of the palm; and the phalanges or bones of the digits. The carpal bones, eight in number, are arranged in two rows.

Phalanges (Hand)

The skeleton of the hand is subdivided into three segments: the carpus or wrist bones; the metacarpus or bones of the palm; and the phalanges or bones of the digits. The phalanges are fourteen in number, three for each finger, and two for the thumb.

Cranium

The skull—or cranium—is the skeleton of the head. It includes the brain case and the bones of the face and jaw.

Sternum

The sternum, or breastbone, is a flat bone at the front center of the chest. The ribs and sternum make up what is called the"ribcage." The ribcage protects what the lungs, blood vessels, and heart, along with parts of the spleen, stomach, and kidneys.

Tibia

The tibia is a large bone located in the lower leg of the human body. The tibia is also known as the shin bone or the shank bone. It is a bone in the lower front portion of the leg of the human body.

Ischium

The tuberosity of the ischium (or ischial tuberosity, tuber ischiadicum in Latin, also known as the sitz bone, or as a pair the sitting bones)[1] is a large swelling posteriorly on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet.

Ulna

The ulna is one of two bones that make up the forearm. The ulna is located on the opposite side of the forearm from the thumb, joins with the humerus on its larger end to make the elbow joint, and joins with the carpal bones.
