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)
