E N D
The Appendicular Skeleton • 126 bones • There were 80 in the axial skeleton • Limbs (appendages) • Pectoral girdle • Pelvic girdle
The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle • Composed of two bones • Clavicle – collarbone • Scapula – shoulder blade • These bones allow the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement
The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle • Clavicle • Note that the acromialclavicular joint is a lateral joint Figure 5.20a–b
Scapula • Wings • Acromium – spine • Connects with clavicle • Coracoid process • Beaklike • Points over the top of the shoulder • Anchors arm muscles
Bones of the Shoulder Girdle Figure 5.20c–d Hoban
Bones of the Upper Limb • The arm is formed by a single bone • Humerus Figure 5.21a–b
Upper Limb • 30 bones form each upper limb • Humerus • Coronoidfossa – anterior • Olecranonfossa – posterior • Connect with ulna
Bones of the Upper Limb • The forearm has two bones • Ulna • Medial bone in anatomical position • Radius • Lateral bone in anatomical position (over thumb) Figure 5.21c
The interosseousmembrane allows impact to either bone to be distributed across the area, and limits the risk of fractures.
Checkpoint! • Can you name the bones? Humerus Ulna Radius
Bones of the Upper Limb • The hand • Carpals – wrist • Metacarpals – palm • Phalanges – fingers • Carpals – 2 rows of 4 = wrist • Metacarpals – start counting with #1 as thumb • Heads of metacarpals = knuckles • Phalanges – 3 in each finger & • 2 in thumb Figure 5.22 Hoban
Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • Hip bones • Formed by two coxal (ossacoxae) bones • Composed of three pair of fused bones • Ilium • Connects with sacrum at sacroiliac joint • Ischium • Pubis Hoban
The total weight of the upper body rests on the pelvis • Protects several organs • Reproductive organs • Urinary bladder • Part of the large intestine
The Pelvis Figure 5.23a
The Pelvis: Right Coxal Bone Figure 5.23b Hoban
Ischium – the “sit down” bone • Ischialtuberosity – receives body weight when sitting • Pubis • Acetabulum – head of femur • Pubic symphysis – cartilaginous joint • Ilium • Greater sciatic notch – blood vessels & sciatic nerve
Male vs. Female pelvis Female has larger inlet & is more circular Pelvis as a whole is shallower, bones lighter & thinner Ilia flare more laterally Sacrum is shorter & less curved Ischial spines are shorter & farther apart; thus the outlet is larger Pubic arch is more rounded because the angle of the pubic arch is greater
