BIOSC-139 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Axial Skeleton, Cuneiform Bones, Navicular Bone
Document Summary
Sally left the party to take carmen home . Five metacarpals radiate distally from the wrist. Numbered i v, beginning with the pollex (thumb) Bases articulate proximally with the distal row of carpals. Heads articulate distally with the proximal phalanges. Except for the thumb, each finger has three phalanges. Proximal, middle, and distal: name the bones contributing to the hip bone, and relate the structure of the pelvic girdle to its function. Forms the superior region of the coxal bone. Articulation with the sacrum forms sacroiliac joint. Forms posteroinferior region of the coxal bone. Are the strongest part of the hip bone. Forms the anterior region of the coxal bone. The two pubic bones are joined by fibrocartilage at the midline. Angle helps distinguish male from female pelvis. Attaches to the axial skeleton by strong ligaments: compare and contrast the male and female pelves.
