🗑
Epiphysis   The two ends of the long bones  
🗑
Diaphysis   The shaft of the bone  
🗑

🗑
Medial border   The edge of the scapula that is nearest to the spinal column.  
🗑
Lateral border   The edge of the scapula that is farthest from the spinal column  
🗑
Inferior angle   The most inferior point of the scapula  
🗑
Upper limbs   Consists of the humerous, radios, ulna, carpals, and hand bones (60 seperate bones)
