Upper limb test 7
Upper limb
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. Know the markings of each bone in the upper limb. | |
| upper limb consists of | the arm (brachium), forearm (antebrachium), and hand (manus) |
| arm (brachium) | |
| humerus | is the sole bone of the arm |
| humerus | It articulates with the scapula at the shoulder, and the radius and ulna at the elbow |
| humerus | Major markings Proximal humerus includes the head, anatomical and surgical necks, greater and lesser tubercles, and the intertubercular groove |
| humerus | Distal humerus includes the capitulum, trochlea, medial and lateral epicondyles, and the coronoid and olecranon fossae Medial portion includes the deltoid process |
| Forearm | The bones of the forearm are the radius and ulna |
| Forearm | They articulate proximally with the humerus and distally with the wrist bones |
| Forearm | They also articulate with each other proximally and distally at small radioulnar joints Interosseous membrane connects the two bones along their entire length |
| Bones of the Forearm Ulna | The ulna lies medially in the forearm and is slightly longer than the radius |
| Ulna | Forms the major portion of the elbow joint with the humerus |
| Ulna | Its major markings include the olecranon, coronoid process, trochlear notch, radial notch, and the styloid process |
| Radius | The radius lies opposite (lateral to) the ulna |
| Radius | The superior surface of the head articulates with the capitulum of the humerus |
| Radius | Medially, the head articulates with the radial notch of the ulna |
| Radius | Major markings include the radial tuberosity, ulnar notch, and styloid process |
| Hand | Skeleton of the hand contains wrist bones (carpals), bones of the palm (metacarpals), and bones of the fingers (phalanges) |
| Carpus (Wrist) | Consists of eight bones Scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, and pisiform proximally Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate distally |
| Metacarpus (Palm) | Five numbered (1-5) metacarpal bones radiate from the wrist to form the palm |
| Metacarpus (Palm) | Their bases articulate with the carpals proximally, and with each other medially and laterally |
| Metacarpus (Palm) | Heads articulate with the phalanges |
| Phalanges (Fingers) | Each hand contains 14 miniature long bones called phalanges |
| Phalanges (Fingers) | Fingers (digits) are numbered 1-5, beginning with the thumb (pollex) |
| Phalanges (Fingers) | Each finger (except the thumb) has three phalanges – distal, middle, and proximal The thumb has no middle phalanx |
| Appendicular Skeleton | The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their girdles Pectoral girdles attach the upper limbs to the body trunk Pelvic girdle secures the lower limbs |
| Pectoral Girdles (Shoulder Girdles) | The pectoral girdles consist of the anterior clavicles and the posterior scapulae They attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton in a manner that allows for maximum movement They provide attachment points for muscles that move the upper limbs |
| Clavicles (Collarbones) | The clavicles are slender, doubly curved long bones lying across the superior thorax The acromial (lateral) end articulates with the scapula, and the sternal (medial) end articulates with the sternum |
| Scapulae (Shoulder Blades) | The scapulae are triangular, flat bones lying on the dorsal surface of the rib cage, between the second and seventh ribs |
| Scapulae (Shoulder Blades) | Scapulae have three borders and three angles Major markings include the scapular notch, the supraspinous and infraspinous fossae, the spine, the acromion, and the coracoid process |
| 2. Where is the highest point of the shoulder? | acromion |

| 6. What is the shoulder joint formed? What are the actions of the shoulder joint? Does it have more freedom of the movement than any joint of the body? What is the dislocated shoulder? | |
| What is the shoulder joint formed? | is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula. It also is referred to as the humeroscapular or glenohumeral joint. |
| What are the actions of the shoulder joint? | The shoulder joint allows flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation, and circumduction of the arm |
| Does it have more freedom of the movement than any joint of the body? | YES. p, 285 |
| What is the shoulder joint formed? | Ball-and-socket joint in which stability is sacrificed to obtain greater freedom of movement Head of humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula |
| What is the dislocated shoulder? | the most commonly dislocated joint; the head of the humerus becomes displaced inferiorly. |
| dislocated shoulder | dislocated shoulder the head of the humerus becomes displaced inferiorly, where the articular capsule is least protected. |
