Bones Detailed

These are really detailed flash cards for the human skeleton

QuestionAnswer
The distal end of the humerus meets the ulna here. The ulna articulates here too. Trochlea
The round "knob" of the distal end of the humerus. Capitulum
Medial and lateral points of the distal humerus where muscles and ligaments attach. Epicondyles
When standing anatomically, this is the distal arm bone on the lateral side. Radius
When standing anatomically, this is the distal arm bone on the medial side. Ulna
The anatomical name for the kneecap. Patella
Long thigh bone Femur
Distal "knob" on the femur where it meets with the proximal part of the tibia. Medial and lateral of these and seen best from the posterior. Condyles
Another name for the ball of the femur. Head
Constricted area right underneath the head of of the femur. Neck
Proximal, lateral process of the femur. Greater trochanter
Proximal, medial process of the femur. Lesser trochanter
Body of the femur. Shaft
Proximal part of the tibia where it articulates with the femur. There is a medial and a lateral one. Condyle
Anterior proximal part of the tibia. Tibial tuberosity
Ankle bone of the tibia. Medial malleolus
Ankle bone of the fibula. Lateral malleolus
Long part of the tibia. Shaft
Looking at the posterior skeleton, will the fibulas lie medial or lateral to the tibia? Lateral
Proximal part of the fibula. Head
Main long part of the fibula. Shaft
The pelvis is made up of 3 hip bones joined at the _____________ joints to the sacrum at the back. Sacroiliac
Distal holes in the pelvis through which muscles and nerves pass through. Obturator foramen
Cuplike ball and socket joint of the hip. Acetabulum
Mid sagittal distal joint of the pubis. Pubis symphysis
Bony prominence of the Ischium. Right underneath the obturator foramen on the medial side. Ischial tuberosity
Concave surface of the ilium. Iliac fossa
Superior part of the ilium. Iliac crest
Right underneath the iliac crest. Anterior superior iliac spine
The hole between the ilium and the sacrum. Greater sciatic notch
Distal end of the ulna and radius. Styloid process
A prominence on the ulna next to the trochlear notch. olecranon process
The part of the ulna that fits into the humerus. Trochlear notch
Looking at the posterior of the humerus, this prominence is lateral to the head. Greater tubercle
Prominence on the proximal, anterior part of the humerus. Lesser tubercle
Depression where the scapula joins the humerus. Glenoid cavity
Anterior prominence of the scapula just under the acromion. Curves forward and down. Coracoid process
Anterior "face" of the scapula. Subscapular fossa
Posterior "face" part of the scapula above the spine of the scapula. Supraspinous fossa
Posterior fossa right underneath the spine of the scapula. Infraspinous fossa
Main prominence of the posterior scapula. Acromion
C1 Atlas
C2 Axis
Bottom tip of the sternum. Xiphoid Process
Top of the sternum. Manubrium
The upward pointing process on the axis. Dens
The two small holes in the C1-C7 vertebrae. Transverse foraminae
The C1-C7 Spinous process are called- Bifid spines
The spinous process on these vertebrae tend to point down. Thoracic vertebrae
The main part of a vertebrae. Body
The main hole in the vertebrae. Vertebral foramen
The medial and lateral prominences on thoracic vertebrae. Transverse Process
These vertebrae have a fin-like spinous process. Lumbar vertebrae
The up process on some vertebrae. Superior Process
The down process on some vertebrae. Inferior Process
Ribs 1 - 7 are called- True ribs
Ribs 8 - 12 are called - False ribs

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
