Appendicular Skeleton
• 126 bones• Limbs• Girdles
• Allows us to move and manipulate objects
Pectoral girdle
• Clavicle• Scapula • Acromion process• Articulates with
clavicle• Coracoid process• Provides attachment
for limb and chest muscles
• Glenoid cavity• Articulates with the
head of the humerus
Pectoral girdle
Pectoral Girdle
• 2 Clavicle• Collarbones
• 2 Scapulae• Shoulder
Blades
Upper limb
• Humerus• Head• Medial epicondyle• Lateral epicondyle• Olecranon fossa
• Radius• Ulna• Olecranon process• Coronoid Process
• Hand• Carpals• Metacarpals• Phalanges
Upper Limbs
Pelvic Girdle
Pelvic girdle
• Also known as the Pelvis• Functions• Support, attachment points, and protect
organs
• Pelvis is divided into 2 parts• Os Coxa• Ilium• Largest, most superior portion of the Os Coxa
• Ischium• Inferior portion of the Os Coxa
• Pubis• Most anterior portion of the Os Coxa
• Acetabulum • Portion of the Os Coxa that articulates with
the head of the Femur
Lower limb
• Femur• Patella• Tibia • Fibula• Foot
Femur
• Head• Neck• Greater trochanter• Lesser trochanter• Shaft• Medial condyle• Lateral condyle• Patellar surface
Tibia fibula
• Tibia• Medial Malleolus
• Fibula • Lateral Malleolus
Foot
