Question | Answer |
---|---|
Function: - acts as a strut to prop the shoulder and upper limb away from the thorax -transmits forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton | Clavicle |
Characteristics: -medial 2/3 is convex anteriorly and the lateral end is concave anteriorly -medial end is large and triangular in shape and medial bone is rounded -lateral bone is flattened from top to bottom nd has a small facet for the example | Clavicle |
Parts: - tubercles: conoid and deltiod - lines: trapezoid articular surfaces: acromial and sternal - costoclavicula ligament impression | Clavicle |
Functions: -connects clavicle and humerus - has numerous muscle attachments that secure upper limb to the thorax | Scapula |
characteristics: - covers 2nd - 7th ribs - connects clavicle and humerus - root of the spine of scapula is located at the third thoracic vertebrae - acromion projects anteriorly and is the lateral end of the spine of the scapula, it is the point of | Scapula |
Parts: -neck (between head and body), head (glenoid fossa) and body (blade) -borders:superior, vertebral, and axillary (lateral) -angles:superior, inferior and lateral -processes:acromion, coracoid scapular spine -fossae:supraspinous, infra spinous, | Scapula |
Characteristics - largest bone of the upper limb | Humerus |
Proximal Parts: tubercles, greater & lesser groove or sulcus: intertubercular AKA bicipital groove necks: anatomical & surgical |
