1

Raised area on lateral surface of humerus to which deltoid muscle attaches

Deltoid tuberosity

2

Arm bone

Humerus

3

Bones of the shoulder girdle

Scapula and clavicle

4

Forearm bones

Radius and ulna

5

Scapular region to which the clavicle connects

Acromion

6

Shoulder girdle that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax

Clavicle

7

Depression in the scapula that articulates with the humerus

Glenoid cavity

8

Process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment

Coracoid fossa

9

The collarbone

Clavicle

10

Distal condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna

Trochlea

11

Medial bone of forearm in anatomical position

Ulna

12

Rounded knob of the humerus and adjoins the radius

Capitulum

13

Anterior depression that receives part of the ulna when the forearm is flexed

Coranoid fossa

14

Forearm bone involved in formation of elbow joint

Ulna

15

Wrist bones

Carpal

16

Finger bones

Phalanges

17

Heads of these bones form the knuckles

Metacarpals

18

Bones that articular with the clavicle

Scapula and sternum

19

How is the arm held clear of the widest dimension of the thoracic cage

Clavicle serves as an anterior base to hold the arm away from the top of the thorax

20

Total number of phalanges in hand

14

21

Total number of carpals in the wrist

8

22

What organs are protected by the pelvic girdle?

Reproductive organs, urinary bladder, part of the large intestine

23

Distinguish between true and false pelvis.

False pelvis makes up the larger part of the pelvis. Superior. Supports abdominal viscera.

True pelvis is the inferior region, and the cavity is short and small-bowled shape that encases the urinary bladder and reproductive organs

24

For what anatomical reason do women appear to be slightly knock-kneed?

Women have wider pelvises than men. Angle of hips turn slightly inward, giving that appearance.

25

How might this anatomical arrangement contribute to knee injuries in women?

More prone to knee injuries such as ACL tears due to high stress/impact directly to knee

26

What does fallen arches mean?

Ligaments and tendons are weakened which allow the bones to fall. Causes appearance of flat feet.

27

What 3 bones fuse to form the coxal bone?

Ilium, ischium, and pubis

28

"Sit down" bone of the coxal bone

Ischium

29
