The ____ skeleton is made up of 126 bones of the limbs and girdles

appendicular

The ____ girdle attaches the upper limb to the axial

pectoral

The ____, on the posterior thorax, are roughly triangular in shape. They have no direct attachment to the axial skeleton but are held in place by trunk muscles

scapula

The arm consists of one long bone which is the

humerus

The hand consists of three groups of bones. The carpals make up the wrist. The ______ make up the palm, and the phalanges make up the fingers

metacarpals

You are studying a pelvis that is wide and shallow. The acetabula are small and far apart. The pubic arch/angle is rounded and greater than 90*. It appears to be tilted forward, with a wide, short sacrum. Is this a male or female pelvis

female

The strongest, heaviest bone of the body is the

femur

The ______, or the "knee cap," is a sesamoid bone that is found within the quadricips tendon

patella

True/False



The fingers of the hand and the toes of the foot-- with the exception of the great toe and the thumb-- each of three phalanges

True

Each foot has a total _____ bones

26

raised area on lateral surface of humerus to which deltoid muscle attaches

deltoid tuberosity

arm bone

humerus

bones of the shoulder girdle

clavicle and scapula

forearm bones

radius and ulna

scapular region to which the clavicle connects

acromion

shoulder girdle bone that does not attach to the axial skeleton

scapula

shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax

clavicle

depression in the scapula that articulates with the humerus

glenoid cavity

process above teh glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment

coracoid process

the "collarbone"

clavicle

distal condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna

trochlea

medial bone of forearm in anatomical position

ulna

rounded knob on the humerus; adjoins the radius

capitulum

anterior depression, superior to the trochlea, that receives part of the ulna when the forearm is flexed

coronoid fossa

forearm bone involved in formation of the elbow joint

ulna

wrist bones

carpals

finger bones

phalanges

heads of these bones form the knuckles

metacarpals

bones that articulate with the clavicle

scapula and sternum

How is the arm held clear of the widest dimension of the thoracic cage

The clavicle acts as a strut to hold the glenoid cavity of the scapula (therefore the arm) laterally from the narrowest area of the ribs/rib cage

What is the total number of phalanges in the hand

14

What is the total number of carpals in the wrist

8

Name the carpals (medial to lateral) in the proximal row

pisiform, triquetral, lunate, scaphoid

Name the carpals (medial to lateral) in the distal row

hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium

What organs are protected, at least in part, by the pelvic girdle

uterus, urinary bladder, small intestine, rectum

Distinguish between the true pelvis and the false pelvis

The true pelvis is the region inferior to the pelvic brim, which is encircled by bone.



The false pelvis is the area medial to the flaring iliac bones and lies superior to the pelvic brim

Deduce why the pelvic bones of a four legged animal such as the cat or pig are much less massive than those of the human

The pelvic girdle does not have to carry the entire weight of the trunk in the quadraped animal

A person instinctively curls over his abdominal area in times of danger. Why...

The abdominal area organs are the most vulnerable because it is not protected by the skeleton

What structural changes result in "fallen arches"

flat feet/flat footed

fuse to form the coxal bone

ilium, ischium, pubis

"sit down" bone of the coxal bone

ischium

point where the coxal bones joins anteriorly

pubis symphosis

superiormost margin of the coxal bone

iliac crest

deep socket in the coxal bone that receives the head of the thigh bone

acetabulum

joint between axial skeleton and pelvic girdle

sacroiliac joint

longest, strongest bone in the body

femur

thin lateral bone

fibula

heavy medial leg bone

tibia

bones forming the knee joint

femur and tibia

point where the patellar ligament attaches

tibial tuberosity

kneecap

patella

shinbone

tibia

medial ankle projection

medial mallolus

lateral ankle projection

lateral malleolus

largest tarsal bone

calcaneus

ankle bones

tarsals

bones forming the instep of the foot

metatarsals

opening in hip bone formed by the pubic and ischial rami

obturator

sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur

gluteal foramen and greater and less trochanters

tarsal bone that "sits" on the calcaneus

talus

weight-bearing bone of the leg

tibia

tarsal bone that articulates with the tibia

talus
