Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Clavicle   Collar bones; the shoulder girdle is joined to the axial skeleton by articulation of the clavicles with the sternum (the scapula does not form a joint aitht he axial skeleton)  
🗑
Scapula   Shoulder blades; the scapulae and clavicles together make up the shoulder girdle  
🗑
Superior border   Upper margin  
🗑
Medial (vertebral) border   Margin toward the vertebral column  
🗑
Lateral (axillary) border   Lateral margin, toward armpit or axilla  
🗑
Spine   Sharp ridge running diagonally across the posterior surface of the shoulder blade  
🗑
Acromion   Slightly flaring projection at the lateral end of the scapular spine; may be felt at the tip of the shoulder; articulates with the clavicle  
🗑
Coracoid process   Projection on the anterior surface from the upper border of the bone; may be felt in the groove between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles, about 1 inch below the clavicle  
🗑
Glenoid cavity   Arm socket  
🗑
Humerus   Long bone of the upper part of the arm  
🗑
Head (re: humerus)   Smooth, hemispherical enlargement at the proximal end of the humerus  
🗑
Anatomical neck (re: humerus)   Oblique groove just below the head  
🗑
Greater tubercle (re: humerus)   Rounded projection lateral to the head on the anterior surface  
🗑
Lesser tubercle (re: humerus)   Prominent projection on the anterior surface just below the anatomical neck  
🗑
Intertubercular groove (re: humerus)   Deep groove between the greater and lesser tubercles; the long tendon of the biceps muscle lodges here  
🗑
Surgical neck (re: humerus)   Region just below the tubercles; so named because of its liability to fracture  
🗑
Deltoid tuberosity(re: humerus)   V-shaped, rough area about midway down the shaft where the deltoid muscle inserts  
🗑
Radial groove(re: humerus)   groove running obliquely downward from the deltoid tuberosity; lodges the radial nerve  
🗑
Epicondyles (medial and laterl) (re: humerus)   Rough projections at both sides of the distal end  
🗑
Capitulum (re: humerus)   Rounded knob below the lateral epicondyle; articulates with the radius; sometimes called the radial head of the humerus  
🗑
Trochlea (re: humerus)   Projection with a deep depression through the center similar to the shape of a pulley; articulates with the ulna  
🗑
Olecranon fossa (re: humerus)   Depression on the posterior surface just above the trochlea; receives the olecranon process of the ulna when the lower part of the arm extends  
🗑
Coronoid fossa (re: humerus)   Depression on the anterior surface above the trochlea; receives the coronoid process of the ulna in flexion of the lower part of the arm  
🗑
Radius   Bone of the thumb side of the forearm  
🗑
Head (re: radius)   Disk-shaped process forming the proximal end of the radius; articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and with the radial notch of the ulna  
🗑
Radial tuberosity (re: radius)   Roughened projection on the ulnar side, a short distance below the head; the biceps muscle inserts here  
🗑
Styloid process (re: radius)   Protuberance at the distal end on the lateral surface (with the forearm in the anatomical position)  
🗑
Ulna   Bone of the little finger side of the forearm; longer than the radius  
🗑
Olecranon process (re: ulna)   Elbow  
🗑
Coronoid process (re: ulna)   Projection on the anterior surface of the proximal end of the ulna; the trochlea of the humerus fits snuggly between the olecranon and the coronoid processes  
🗑
Trochlear notch (re: ulna)   Curved notch between the olecranon and coronoid process into which the trochlea fits; also called semilunar notch  
🗑
Radial notch (re: ulna)   Curved notch lateral and inferior to the semilunar notch; the head of the radius fits into this concavity  
🗑
Head (re: ulna)   Rounded process at the distal end; does not articulate with the wrist bones but with the fibrocartilaginous disk  
🗑
Styloid process (re: ulna)   Sharp protuberance at the distal end; can be seen from outside on the posterior surface  
🗑
Carpal bones   Wrist bones; arranged in two rows at the proximal end of the hand; proximal row (from the little finger to thumb)- pisiform, triquetrum, lunate, and schapoid; distal row- hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium  
🗑
Metacarpal Bones   Long bones forming the framework of the palm of the hand; numbered (from medial side) I, II, III, IV, V  
🗑
Phalanges   Minature long bones of the fingers, three (proximal, middle, distal) in each finger, two (proximal, distal) in each thumb; numbered (from medial side) I (except first middle), II, III, IV, V  
🗑
