Document Summary
Upper: clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges. Lower: pubis, ilium, ischeum, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges. Girdles are used to connect the appendicular to axial skeleton. Attaches the upper appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton. Sternoclavicular joint: articulation between the scapula and clavicle. * a joint is most commonly named from its medial to lateral origin (ex: sterno- clavicular) Scapula: lies on the back of the rib cage has a structure called the acromion process. Acromion process: part of the scapula that articulates with the clavicle. Is easily fractured at the distal (lateral) portion of the bone. Several arteries run over and below the clavicle. Superior surface is very smooth where as inferior surface is rough due to several tuberosities. Costal tuberosity: where the costal clavicular ligament attaches. Area where the clavicle articulates with the sternum. Uses strong ligaments to support the joint, making it stable. Sternoclavicular ligament: connects the manubrium to the.
