what consists of the pectoral girdle and upper limbs?
attaches to the sternum and includes the scapula and clavicles also 1:arm-brachium 2:forearm-antebrachium 3:hand:mannus
how is the scapula attached to the pectoral girdle?
does not have a bony attachment, attached very loosely to the clavicle attached to the axial skeleton by way of muscles and ligaments
characteristicsof pectoral girdle
attached very loosely which causes high flexibility, lots of movement NOT STABLE

dorsal surface of the rub cage
the scapular spine is where
dorsal side of the scapula
the glenoid cavity(fossa) articulates with

function of clavicle
1-provides muscle attachment 2-acts as a brace for the scapula and arms 3-transmits compression forces from arms to axial skeleton
what is the shape of the clavicle
mostly straight but has an S shape to it. *because of the structure it tends to fracture near the curves
characteristic of clavicle ligaments
are strong so the bone breaks instead of dislocating
how many bones are in the upper limb
30
the upper limb divides into the
1-upper arm-humerus bone 2-forearm(antebrachium)- 2 bones are radius and ulna 3-hand- wrist(carpus), metacarpus(hand portion) and phalanges (fingers)
characteristic of the humerus
largest and longest of the upper limbs

forearm supination
radius parallel to ulna palms facing up <-------
forearm pronation
radius crossed over ulna palms facing down --->
important about supination and pronation in SAP
radius is lateral and ulna is medial. when palms face posteriorly bones cross and form an x
radius and ulna styloid processes
attach to ligaments that anchor the wrist away. These are the bones you can see and feel.
wrist fractures typically occur through
distal radius while catching yourself during a fall. Common in older females with weaker bones. dinner fork representation can lead to nerve damage and dysfunction
