_______ SKELETON – consists of the appendages and the structures they are attached to : (4)
APPENDICULAR SKELETON
• Upper limbs (arms)
• Pectoral girdle (shoulder)
• Lower limbs (legs)
• Pelvic girdle
(just read)
THE APPENDICULAR SKELETON
Two (2) PAIRS of LIMBS and GIRDLES
1. PECTORAL (shoulder) girdle attaches upper limbs
2. Three -Segments UPPER LIMB= Arms
Arm
Forearm
Hand
3. PELVIC (hip) girdle secures lower limbs
4. Three -Segments LOWER LIMB = Legs
Thigh
Leg
Foot
PECTORAL GIRDLE
(Shoulder Girdle)
• _____– anterior; aka collar bone
• ____ end attaches to the ___ medially
• ___ end articulates with the ___ laterally
• ___– posterior; aka shoulder blade
• CLAVICLE – anterior; aka collar bone
• Sternal end attaches to the manubrium medially
• Acromial end articulates with the scapula laterally
• SCAPULA – posterior; aka shoulder blade
: triangular, paired, but don’t connect in back
(adds thoracic flexibility)
SCAPULA
SCAPULA (parts & attachments/projections)
• ______ cavity -articulates with the humerus
• ______ - articulates with clavicle
•______ -projects anteriorly
• Glenoid cavity -articulates with the humerus

• Coracoid process -projects anteriorly
UPPER LIMB/EXTREMITY
• Arm or Brachium = upper arm
=Between shoulder and elbow
1 bone: ________

(humerus)
• =Radius & ulna
• Wrist (carpus)

ARM
Humerus - is the only bone
Head of humerus fits into glenoid cavity of scapula
Distal & medially, ______ articulates with the ulna
Distal & laterally _______ articulates with the radius

______ is thinner proximally, like a spool of thread, and wide distally;
______ is slightly longer and looks like a monkey wrench
(supposedly!)
Radius is thinner proximally, like a spool of thread, and wide distally;
ulna is slightly longer and looks like a monkey wrench
