Appendicular Skeleton

• The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that connect them to the trunk

• Pectoral girdles attach the upper limbs to the body trunk

• Pelvic girdle secures the lower limbs

Page 3: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Pectoral Girdles (Shoulder Girdles)

• The pectoral girdles consist of the clavicles and the scapulae

• They attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton in a manner that allows for maximum movement

• They provide attachment points for muscles that move the upper limbs

Page 4: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Clavicles (Collarbones)

• S-shaped bones• Small, fragile• Smooth superior

surface lies just beneath the skin

Page 5: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Scapulae (Shoulder Blades)

• The scapulae are triangular, flat bones lying on the dorsal surface of the rib cage, between the second and seventh ribs

• Have three sides or borders (superior, medial, and lateral) and three angles (superior, inferior, and lateral)

The Upper Limb

• Consists of the bones of the arms, forearms, wrists, and hands

Page 8: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Arm (Brachium)

• The humerus is the sole bone of the arm• It articulates with the scapula at the shoulder,

and the radius and ulna at the elbow

Forearm

The bones of the forearm are the: 1. Radius2. Ulna

• They articulate proximally with the humerus and distally with the wrist bones

Ulna• In anatomical position, the ulna lies medial to

the radius

• Slightly longer than the radius

• Forms the major portion of the elbow joint with the humerus

Page 13: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Radius

• Lateral bone (to the ulna) of the forearm

• Thin at its proximal end, widened distally

• The superior surface of the head articulates with the humerus

Carpus (Wrist)

• Consists of eight carpal bones:– Scaphoid– Lunate– Triquetrum– Pisiform– Trapezium– Trapezoid– Capitate– Hamate“Sam Likes To Push The Toy Car Hard”

Page 16: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Metacarpus (Palm)

• Five numbered (1-5) metacarpal bones radiate from the wrist to form the palm

– Their bases articulate with the carpals proximally, and with each other medially and laterally

– Heads articulate with the phalanges

Page 17: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Phalanges (Fingers)• Each hand contains 14 miniature long bones called

phalanges

• Fingers (digits) are numbered 1-5, beginning with the thumb (pollex)

• Each finger (except the thumb) has three phalanges – distal, middle, and proximal

• The thumb has no middle phalanx

Wrist & Hand

Page 19: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Pelvic Girdle (Hip)• The hip is formed by a pair of hip bones (coxal)• Together with the sacrum and the coccyx, these bones

form the bony pelvis • The pelvis– Attaches the lower limbs to the axial skeleton with

the strongest ligaments of the body– Transmits weight of the upper body to the lower

limbs– Supports the visceral organs of the pelvis– Forms by the fusion of 3 bones: ilium, ischium, and

pubis

Comparison of Male and Female Pelvic Structure

• Female pelvis– Tilted forward, adapted for childbearing– True pelvis defines birth canal– Cavity of the true pelvis is broad, shallow, and has

greater capacity• Male pelvis– Tilted less forward– Adapted for support of heavier male build and

stronger muscles– Cavity of true pelvis is narrow and deep

Male vs. Female Pelvic Structure

Characteristic Female MaleBone thickness Lighter, thinner, and

smootherHeavier, thicker, and moreprominent markings

curvature is accentuatedNarrow, longer; sacralpromontory more ventral

Coccyx More movable; straighter Less movable; curvesventrally

Lower Limbs

• Each lower limb consists of a femur (thigh), patella (knee cap), tibia & fibula (lower leg), tarsal bones (ankle), metatarsal (foot), and phalanges (toes)

• They carry the weight of the erect body, and are subjected to exceptional forces when one jumps or runs

Page 26: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Femur (Thigh)• The sole bone of

the thigh

• Longest and heaviest bone in the body

• Articulates proximally with the hip and distally with the tibia and fibula

Patella (Knee cap)

• Large sesamoid bone

Page 28: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Tibia (Shinbone)

• Large medial bone of the leg• Receives the weight of the body from the

femur and transmits it to the foot

• Slender bone of the leg• Site for attachment of muscles that move the

foot and toes

Fibula

Page 29: The Skeletal System. Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their supporting elements (girdles) that

Fibula

• Sticklike bone with slightly expanded ends located laterally to the tibia

• Major markings include the head and lateral malleolus

phalanges except the hallux, which has no middle phalanx
