Which vertebrae are largest and strongest lumbar. 206 bones in total in our body; 106 forms the appendicular skeleton (lower) (lower) (upper) Similarities and differences of upper and lower limbs. Sim bilateral symmetry and 1 upper bone, 2 lower bones. The equivalent in the ankle are 7 tarsals (lower) Clavicle(collarbone) is the most frequently broken bone in the body. Attaches to the ribs by muscles and tendons; not by a joint. It has a broad, flat main part of the bone that forms as an attachment point for many muscles. Shoulder is a very interesting point anatomically, (humeroscapular) joint. Of the head surface area is in contact with the glenoid cavity for the humerus. The ball and the socket size are not matched. The joint is relatively unstable frequently dislocated = con.
