Chapter 8:
The Appendicular Skeleton
1
Appendicular Skeleton
• 126 bones
• Consists of limbs and limb girdles to
provide movement
1. Pectoral girdle: 4 bones
2. Upper limbs: 60 bones
3. Pelvic girdle: 2 bones
4. Lower limbs: 60 bones

Upper limbs
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
– Carpals arranged in two rows of four bones
– Creates a U shape enclosed by the flexor retinaculum
(ligament)
– All tendons, vessels, and nerves of the hand must pass
through channels between bones and ligaments (no
extra space)
– Any inflammation = pressure on nerves leading to pain
4
The Appendicular Skeleton
• Allows us to move and manipulate
objects
• Includes all bones besides axial
skeleton:
– the limbs
– the supportive girdles
5
The bones of
the pectoral girdle, their
functions, and features.
6
The Pectoral Girdle
7
Figure 8–2a
The Pectoral Girdle
•
•
•
•
Also called the shoulder girdle
Connects the arms to the body
Positions the shoulders
Provides a base for arm movement
8
The Pectoral Girdle
• Consists of:
– 2 clavicles
– 2 scapulae
• Connects with the axial skeleton only
at the manubrium
9
The Clavicles
10
Figure 8–2b, c
The Clavicles
•
•
•
•
•
Also called collarbones
Long, S-shaped bones
Originate at the manubrium (sternal end)
Articulate with the scapulae (acromial end)
Costal Tuberosity:
– Attachment for the costoclavicular ligament which
articulates with the cartilage of the ribs
• Conoid Tubercle:
– Attachment for the conoid ligament which articulates
with the coracoid process of the scapula
11
The Scapulae
• Also called shoulder blades
• Broad, flat triangles
• Articulate with arm and collarbone
12
The Scapula
• Anterior surface: the
subscapular fossa
– attachment for the
subscapularis muscle
• Function to rotate the head
of the humerus medially
(internal rotation)
• Function to draw the
humerus forward and
downward when the arm is
raised
13
Figure 8–3a
Structures of the Scapula
• Posterior surface
• Supraspinous fossa
– Origin for the
supraspinatus
muscle, which
abducts (toward
midline) the arm at
the shoulder
– Origin for the
infraspinatus
muscle, which
adducts that arm 14
Figure 8–3c
Why would a broken clavicle affect the
mobility of the scapula?
A. Muscles attach the clavicle to the
scapula.
B. Clavicle is attached to the sternum
which is attached to the scapula.
C. Clavicle attaches the scapula to the
humerus.
D. Clavicle attaches the scapula to the
15
sternum.
The bones of
the upper limbs, their
functions, and features.
16

• Arms, forearms, wrists, and hands
Note: arm (brachium) = 1 bone, the
humerus
17
The Humerus
• Also called the arm
• The long, upper
armbone
• Greater tuberosity
– Attachment for
suprasinatus and
infrapinatus
• Lesser tuberosity
– Attachment for
tendon of
subscapularus
18

The Humerus
• Epicondyle
– Attachment for ligaments of
the elbow-joint
– Lateral: tendon of supinator
muscle
– Medial: tendon of flexor
muscles of the forearm
• Olecranon fossa
– Receives process for the
extension of the forearm
• Coronoid fossa
– Receives the coronoid
process of the ulna during
flexion (joint angle
decreases) of the forearm
19

antebrachium
• Consists of 2 long
bones:

25
The Pelvic Girdle

• Strong to bear body weight, stress of
movement
• Part of the pelvis
26
Pelvic Girdle
• 2 os coxae
• Note:
– “pelvis” (no
anatomical) = pelvic
girdle (2 os coxae) +
sacrum + coccyx
27

The Pelvis
• Consists of 2 ossa coxae, the sacrum, and the
coccyx
• Stabilized by ligaments of pelvic girdle, sacrum,
and lumbar vertebrae
• Obturator Foramen
– Opening for nerves and muscles to pass through
• Acetabulum
– Head of the femur meets with the pelvis; hip-joint
• Ischial Tuberosity
– Point of insertion for the semimembranosus, head of
biceps femoris, and semitendinosus

coxae?

Divisions of the Pelvis
33
Figure 8–9
Divisions of the Pelvis
• True pelvis:
– encloses pelvic cavity
– 2 regions:
• Pelvic brim: encloses pelvic inlet
• Perineum region: perineal muscles support
organs of pelvic cavity
• False pelvis:
– blades of ilium above arcuate line
34

differences between the male
and female pelvis.
35
Comparing the Male
and Female Pelvis
• Female pelvis:
– Smoother and lighter
– less prominent muscle and ligament
attachments

KEY CONCEPT
• Pectoral girdle is highly mobile,
stabilized primarily by muscles
• Pelvic girdle is more massive, stronger,
and less mobile
55
The skeleton
reveals significant information
about an individual.
56
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
57
The skeletal differences
between
males and females.
