The Appendicular Skeleton

126 bones

Allows us to move and manipulate objects

Includes all bones besides axial skeleton

• The limbs

• The supportive girdles

The Pectoral Girdle

Also called the shoulder girdleConnects the arms to the body Positions the shouldersProvides a base for arm movementConsists of

Two clavicles Two scapulae

Upper Limbs

The upper limbs consist of the arms, forearms,

wrists, and hands

HumorousUlna and radiusCarpels, metacarpals, and phalanges

Pelvis Girdle

Made up of two hip bones (coxal bones)Strong to bear body weight, stress of movementPart of the pelvisCoxal bones

Made up of three fused bones• Ilium (articulates with sacrum)

• Ischium

• Pubis

Comparing the Male Pelvis and Female PelvisFemale pelvis

• Smoother and lighter• Less prominent muscle and ligament attachments• Pelvis modifications for Childbearing

• enlarged pelvic outlet• broad pubic angle (>100°)• less curvature of sacrum and coccyx• wide, circular pelvic inlet• broad, low pelvis• ilia project laterally, not upwards

The Ankle

Bones of the ankle

• Navicular:

• articulates with talus and three cuneiform bones

• Medial cuneiform

• Intermediate cuneiform

• Lateral cuneiform

• Studying the Skeleton

– Reveals characteristics

• Muscle strength and mass (bone ridges, bone

mass)

• Medical history (condition of teeth, healed

fractures)

• Sex and age (bone measurements and fusion)

• Body size
