Appendicular skeleton-upper extremities

QuestionAnswer
Clavicle Collar bone
Sternal end of the clavicle Medial end of the collar bone
Acromial end of the clavicle Lateral end of the collar bone
Scapula Shoulder blade
Medial border of the scapula Border of the scapula nearest the vertebrae
Lateral border of the scapula Lateral, inferior border of the scapula
Spine of the scapula Divides the lateral surface into the anterior supraspinous fossa and the posterior infraspinous fossa
Acromion process Finger-like extension of the spine that points ventrally
Coracoid process Small beak like projection of the scapula that points forward
Supraspinous fossa Surface of the scapula above the spine of the scapula
Infraspinous fossa Surface of the scapula below the spine of the scapula
Subscapular fossa Covers most of the anterior surface of the scapula
Glenoid fossa Hollow in the head of the scapula that receives the head of the humerus to make the shoulder joint
Humerus Upper arm bone
Greater tubercle of the humerus Forms the most prominent bony point of the shoulder
Lesser tubercle of the humerus Medial to the greater and separated from it by the intertubercular groove
Bicipital groove Groove between the greater and lesser tubercles
Deltoid tuberosity A rough elevation about the middle of the lateral side of the shaft of the humerus, giving attachment to the deltoid muscle
Medial epicondyle of the humerus Most medial prominent bone of the elbow
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus Most lateral bone of the elbow
Trochlea of the humerus Place between the epicondyles that the ulna articulates with
Capitulum of the humerus Lateral part of the articular surface of the distal end of the humerus
Radius Lateral and slightly shorter of the two bones of the human forearm
Inferior angle of the scapula Bottom angle of the scapula
Superior angle of the scapula Top angle of the scapula
Head of the humerus Hemisphere shaped area on the humerus that articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula
Anatomical neck of the humerus constriction of the humerus immediately adjoining the margin of the head, just below its proximal articular surface
Coronoid fossa Cavity in the anterior aspect of the distal humerus proximal to the trochlea of humerus
Olecranon fossa Deep hollow on the posterior surface of the distal humerus proximal to the trochlea of humerus
Head of the radius Disk-shaped upper extremity articulating with the capitulum of the humerus
Radial tuberosity Eminence on the anterior inner surface of the radius just distal to the radial neck
Styloid process of the radius Blunt projection from the lateral surface of the distal end of the radius
Ulna Medial and larger of the 2 bones of the forearm
Ulnar tuberosity Tuberosity just distal to the coronoid process
Olecranon process Process at the proximal end of the ulna which projects behind the articulation with the humerus and forms the bony prominence of the elbow
Coronoid process of the ulna Anterior eminence of the proximal ulna, distal to the olecranon
Styloid process of the ulna Medial non-articular process on the distal end of the ulna
Radial notch Narrow depression on the lateral side of the coronoid process of the ulna that articulates with the head of the radius
Neck of the radius Narrow part of the shaft just below the head
Carpal Any of the eight small bones of the wrist
Metacarpus That part of the hand between the carpus and phalanges
Scaphoid bone Found on the thumb side of the hand, within the anotomical snuffbox. It is approximately the size and shape of a cashew
Lunate bone Second of three bones forming the proximal row of bones in the wrist
Triquetral bone Bone in the proximal row of carpal bones lying between the lunate and pisiform bones
Pisiform bone Small knobbly, pea-shaped bone that articulates only with the triquetral bone
Trapezium bone Most lateral bone of the distal row of carpal bones
Trapezoid bone Bone in the distal row of carpal bones lying between the trapezium and capitate bones
Capitate bone Bone in the distal row of carpal bones lying between the trapezoid and hamate bones
Hamate bone Medial bone in the distal row of carpal bones
Phalanges of the hand Bones that form fingers and are named after the digit and their distance from the body
Proximal phalanges of the hand Closest to the hand and articulate with the metacarpals
Middle phalanges of the hand Between the distal and proximal phalanges. The thumb does not have one
Distal phalanges of the hand Form the tips of the fingers
How many phalanges are there per hand? 14
