Appendicular Skeleton

This lab is to allow you to become familiar with the anatomy of the appendicular skeleton.

Look at and label with sticky paper the skeletal models both articulated (put together) & disarticulated (taken apart).

All of these bones can be on the practical.

1. Be able identify the following pectoral & arm bones & structures

clavicle sternal end acromial end	scapula spine acromion coracoid process suprascapular notch supraspinous fossae infraspinous fossae superior border medial border lateral border scapular fossae: glenoid cavity		humerus head of the humerus greater & lesser tubercle condyles epicondyles: medial and lateral coronoid fossa olecranon
ulna olecranon. coronoid trochlear notch: radial notch head of ulna styloid processes
radius head of the radius ulnar notch styloid process		carpals	metacarpals 1 to 5	phalanges 1 to 5 proximal phalanx medial phalanx distal phalanx

2. Be able identify the following pelvic & leg bones & structures

coxal sacroiliac joint	ilium iliac crest iliac fossa anterior superior iliac spine anterior inferior iliac spine posterior superior iliac spine greater sciatic notch	ischium ischial spine ischial tuberosity obturator foramen	pubis or pubic bone symphysis pubis joint pubic arch acetabulum
femur head of the femur greater trochanter lesser trochanter lateral & medial condyles lateral & medial epicondyles patellar surface	patella	Tibia anterior crest medial & lateral condyle tibial tuberosity medial malleolus fibular notch	fibula head of the fibula lateral malleolus
