terms list

clavicle
long slender bone that lies horizontally across the root of the neck just beneath the skin
spine of the scapula
projects backward on the posterior surface of the scapula
acromion
lateral end of the spine that is free and articulates with the clavicle
glenoid cavity

marks the level of the 7th rib and the spine of the 7th thoracic vertebra
head
upper end of the humerus that forms about 1/3 of a sphere & articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula
anatomical neck
below the head of the humerus
bicipital groove
seperates lesser & greater tuberosities
surgical neck
where the upper end of the humerus joins this shaft
deltoid tuberosity
a roughened elevation about halfway down the lateral aspect of the shaft
spiral groove
behind and below the deltoid tuberosity which accomodates the radial nerve
capitulum
rounded for the articulation with the head of the radius
trochlea
it is pulley-shaped and it is for the articulation with the trochlear notch of the ulna
radial fossa
above the capitulum that recieves the head of the radius when the elbow is flexed
coronoid fossa
above the trochlea anteriorly & recieves the coronoid process of the ulna
olecranon fossa
above the trochlea posteriorly which recieves the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow joint is extended
head
- proximal end of the radius
neck
- below the head of the radius
bicipital tuberosity
- below the neck for the insertion of the biceps muscle
interosseous border
- for attachement of interosseous membrane that binds radius & ulna together
pronator tubercle
- for insertion of the pronator teres muscle, lies halfway down on its lateral side
pectoralis minor
is a thin triangular muscle that lies beneath pectoralis major
radius
lateral bone of the forearm
bicipital tuberosity
below the neck of the radius for the insertion of the biceps muscle
interosseous border
medially it is the attachment of the interosseous membrane that binds the radius and ulna together
pronator tubercle
for the insertion of the pronator teres muscle lies halfway down on its lateral side
styloid process
projects distally from the lateral margin of the radius
ulnar notch
medial surface of the radius that articulates with the round head of the ulna
dorsal tubercle
posterior aspect of the distal end is a small tubercle which is grooved on its medial side by the tendon of the extensor policis longus
ulna
is the medial bone of the forearm
olecranon process
the proximal end of the ulna is large; forms prominence of the elbow
trochlear notch
a notch on the anterior surface of the ulna which articulates with the trochlea of the humerus
coronoid process
below the trochlear notch
radial notch
lateral surface of the ulna for articulation with the head of the radius
supinator crest
below the radial notch that gives origin to the supinator muscle
head of ulna
it is small & rounded and found at the distal end of the ulna
sternoclavicular joint
joint that is found between the sternum & sternal end of clavicle; plane synovial joint
costoclavicular joint
joint found at the junction of the 1st rib & it's costal cartilage & inferior surface of sternal end of clavicle; plane synovial joint
costoclavicular ligament
is a strong ligament that runs from the junction of the 1st rib w/ the first costal cartilage to the inferior surface of the sternal end of the clavicle
coracoclavicular ligament
ligament that extends from the coracoid process to the undersurface of the clavicle
acromioclavicular joint
occurs between the acromion of the scapula and lateral end of the clavicle; synovial plane joint
glenohumeral joint
also known as shoulder joint; this occurs between the rounded head of the humerus and the shallow, pear shaped glenoid cavity of the scapula; synovial ball & socket joint
glenohumeral ligaments
are three weak bands of fibrous tissue that strengthen the front of the capsule
transverse humeral ligament
strengthens the capsule and bridges the gap between the 2 tuberosities
coracohumeral ligament
strengthens the capsule above and stretches from the root of the coracoid process to the greater tuberosity of the humerus
coracoacromial ligament
ligament that extends between the coracoid process and the acromion; for protection of the superior aspect of the joint
humeroradial joint
an elbow joint from the distal end of the humerus & proximal end of radius; the capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius; hinge type of joint
humeroulnar joint
an elbow joint from the distal end of the humerus to the proximal end of the ulna; trochlea of humerus & trochlear notch of ulna; hinge type of joint
radial collateral ligament
arises from the apex of lateral epicondyl of humerus towards upper margin of anular ligament
anterior band of the ulnar collateral ligament
a band that arises from the medial epicondyl of humerus towards coronoid process of ulna
posterior band of the ulna collateral ligament
a band that arises from medial epicondyl of humerus towards olecranon process of ulna
transverse band of the ulna collateral ligament
a band that is found in between anterior band & posterior band of the ulna collateral ligament
proximal radioulnar joint
joint for the articulation of the radius and ulna at the proximal/superior portion; pivot or trochoid type of synovial joint
anular ligament
attached to anterior & posterior margin of radial notch & forms a collar that moves around the radius
quadrate ligament
extends from the neck of the radius towards below the radial notch
distal radioulnar joint
joint for the articulation of the radius and ulna at its distal end; pivot or trochoid type of synovial joint
