large opening in the occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes to brain.

protruding bone on the outside of the occipital bone.

Occipital Condyle

A rounded process found on both sides of the foramen magnum and unite with the vertebrae of the spinal column.

Anterior Fontanel

Infant skull

Hyoid Bone

u-shaped bone, attachment site for muscles of larynx, pharynx and tongue. Does not articulate w/any other bone. Suspended from tips of styloid processes of temporal bones by ligaments. Most often crushed in strangulations.

Vertebral Column

Consists of 26 bones: 24 vertebrae, the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone)

Cervical Vertebrae

C1 - C7


C1 = atlas


C2 axis


Thorasic vertebrae

12:


T1-T12

Lumbar vertebrae

L1 - L5

Sacrum

5 bones begin fusing at puberty complete by age 25-10

Coccyx

4 fused bones by age 26

Spinal curves

Cervical


Thoracic


Lumbar


Sacral

Vertebral anatomy

spinous process


transverse process


body


vertebral foramen

Thoracic Cage

Consists of the thoracic vertebrae, the ribs and the sternum

Ribs

1-7 True Ribs


8-12 False Ribs


11-12 Floating Ribs

Sternum (breastbone)

Manubrium - jugular notch, Manubrium articulates w/clavicles.


Body


Xiphoid process


Fusion of sternum completes by age 25

Pectoral Girdle

consists of clavicles and scapulae

Clavicle

S-shaped (collarbone) articulate w/manubrium of sternum and acromial process of scapula.

Scapula

triangular shaped (shoulder blade)

Acromion

acromial process at the top of the shoulder blade

Coracoid process

site of muscle attachment


part of back surface of each scapula that is divided into unequal portions by a spine, which leads to a head that bears two processes. It curves forward and down below the clavicle (collarbone).

Glenoid cavity

articulates w/ humerus


a depression on the head of the scapula, between the acromion and coracoid processes. It joins with the head of the upper arm bone (humerus).

Upper Limbs

Humerus



Ulna - trochlera notch (trochlea = pulley) - forms "u" shape in ulna


Oclecranon Process - forms elbow on ulna



Radius

Bones of the hand

Wrist - 8 carpal bones


form in two rows: four proximal carpal bones (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform) and four distal carpal bones (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate)

Carpals

Scaphoid (skaphe + eidos, form: boat-shaped)


Lunate (luna, moon)


Triquetrum (Triquetral) has three surfaces


Pisiform - pea shaped


Trapezium (Gk. trapezion, small table)


Trapezoid (Gk. trapezion +eidos, form) having the shape of a trapeze (resembles a wedge)


Capitate (L. caput, head) has a rounded head


Hamate (L. hamatum, hooked) has a hook like process.


*Some Lovers Try Positions That They Cannot Handle

Metacarpals of the hand

(Use Roman numerals I, II, III, IV, V)


Run from carpal bones of the wrist to bones of the hand. The heads form the knuckles.

Phalanges

Proximal - nearest the metacarpals/hand


Medial - in between proximal and distal


Distal- finger tips


Pollex (thumb) only has proximal and distal phalanges.

Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbs

Consists of the paired hip bones; each forms by fusion of ilium, ischium and pubis.


Ventrally connected by a pad of fibrocartilage at a joint called the pubic symphysis on the lateral surface of each hip bone. The acetabulum (vinegar cup) is the socket that articulates w/the head of the femur.

Pelvis Girdle

Os Coxae (pl. ossa coxae) (coxa, hip)


Ilium


Ischium


Pubis

Pelvis

2 coxal bones (hip bones) + sacrum + coccyx

Pubis Symphysis

pad of fibrocartilage connecting coxae at pubis

Iliac Crest

ridge of ilium

Ischial tuberosity

rough projection which bears wight of body when seated

Acetabulum
