The Axial Skeleton Skull Sternum Vertebrae –7 Cervical –12 thoracic –5 lumbar –5 sacral –5 fused coccygeal Ribs During this month, we will cover the bones by system.
Appendicular Skeleton Upper Extremity Humerus Radius Ulna Carpals –Metacarpals –Phalanges Pectoral Girdles Clavicle Scapula Lower Extremity Femur Patella Tibia Fibula Tarsals Metatarsals Phalanges Pelvic Girdles Os Coxae (Innominate bone) – Ilium – Ischium – Pubis
Bone Terminology Elevations (from most-least prominent) –Crests –Lines –Ridges
Bone Terminology Tuberosity and Tubercle: roughened, elevated, rounded projections in bone Spine: long, sharp projection
Bone Terminology Articulation Structures or surfaces –Facet: “little face” –Condyle: rounded projection –Epicondyle: condyle above another condyle
Bone Terminology Depressions –Fossa (broad and shallow) –Pits or fovea (small) –Groove or sulcus (long and shallow) –Foramen (a perforating hole) –Meatus or Canal (a tube or covered area)
