Exam 8: The Skeletal System: the Appendicular Skeleton

The scapula

The coracoid process of the scapula may be described as a lateral extension of the spine of the scapula.

The fibular notch is located at the distal end of the _____.

The bone illustrated is the _____.

Using the following directional terms, decide which structure of the scapula is being described: lateral to the spine; inferior to the acromion; posterior to the coracoid process; proximal to the head of the humerus.

The inferior surface of the clavicle is rougher than the superior surface, due, in part, to the presence of the conoid tubercle and the impression for the costoclavicular ligament.

List the bones that make up the appendicular skeleton using the headings pectoral girdles, free part of the upper extremity, pelvic girdle, free part of the lower extremity.

The projection at the proximal end of the ulna that forms the prominence of the elbow is the _____.

The fibula, the lateral bone of the leg, is a weight-bearing bone.

The head of the radius articulates with the _____ notch of the ulna.

This is an ______ view of the _____.

The number of phalanges in one hand is

The hip (coxal) bones unite anteriorly with each other to form a joint called the _____. They articulate posteriorly with the _____.

The ulna and radius each bear a _____ process at their distal ends.

The talus

Name the articular surfaces of the hip (coxal) bones and identify the bones that articulate at each surface.

List the bones that make up the appendicular skeleton using the headings pectoral girdles, free part of the upper extremity, pelvic girdle, free part of the lower extremity.

The raised roughened area, just distal to the neck of the radius, that serves as a point of attachment for the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle is the biceps tuberosity.

The intertrochanteric line is near the proximal end of the femur, on the anterior surface.

The heads of the metacarpals form the "knuckles" of the fist.
