WEEK 21
A&P
MUST DO
Give an example of how the shape of
a bone matches its function in the
human body
THE APPENDICULAR
SKELETON
Composed of 126 bones
• Limbs (appendages)
• Pectoral (Shoulder) girdle
• Pelvic girdle

SKELETON

THE PECTORAL
(SHOULDER) GIRDLE
Composed of two bones
• Clavicle—collarbone
• Scapula—shoulder blade
These bones allow the upper limb to have
exceptionally free movement

LIMBS
Humerus
•Forms the arm
•Single bone

LIMBS

BONES OF THE UPPER
LIMBS
The forearm has two bones
• Ulna
• Medial bone in anatomical position
• Radius
• Lateral bone in anatomical position

2. Why is the clavicle at risk to fracture when a person falls
on their shoulder?
It is a slender bone
3. Why is there generally no problem in the arm clearing the
widest dimension of the thoracic cage?
The clavicle serves as a brace to hold the arm clear of the
thorax
4. What are the total number of phalanges in the hand?
14
8
5. What is the total number of carpals in the wrist?
BONES OF THE PELVIC
GIRDLE
Formed by two coxal (ossa coxae) bones
Composed of three pairs of fused bones
•Ilium
•Ischium
•Pubis
BONES OF THE PELVIC
GIRDLE
The total weight of the upper body rests on
the pelvis
It protects several organs
• Reproductive organs
• Urinary bladder
•Part of the large intestine

COMPARISON OF MALE
AND FEMALE PELVES
Table 7.4.2
PELVIC GIRDLE
6. Compare the pectoral and pelvic girdles for
flexibility, security and weight-bearing
Pectoral
Flexibility is most important, Insecure axial and
limb attachment, moderate weight-bearing ability
Pelvic
Moderate flexibility Secure axial and limb
attachments, Massive Weight-bearing ability
#7
What organs are protected, at least in part, by the pelvic
girdle?
Bladder, small intestine and rectum and in females the uterus
COMPARISON OF MALE
AND FEMALE PELVES
#8 Distinguish between the true pelvis and the false pelvis
The true pelvis is the region inferior to the pelvic brim and is encircled by bone. The
false pelvis is the area medial to the iliac bones and superior to the pelvic brim
Table 7.4.1
#10 The pelvic bones of a four legged animal,
such as a cat or pig are much less massive
than those of a human being. Why?
The quad-pedal pelvis does not carry as much
weight as the bi pedal pelvis
#11 A person instinctively curls over their
abdominal area when in danger. Why?
Abdominal organs have the least protection by the
skeletal system
#12 What does Fallen Arches mean?
A weakening of the tendons and ligaments of the
foot
#10 LABEL THE PARTS OF THE PELVIS AND
DETERMINE IF THE PELVIS IS MALE OR FEMALE
This Pelvis is MALE, because the Acetabula are close together the pubic arch is less than
90 degrees the sacrum is narrow and the pelvic inlet is heart shaped
BONES OF THE LOWER LIMBS
The thigh has one bone
•Femur
• The heaviest, strongest bone in the body
BONES OF THE LOWER
LIMBS
Figure 5.25a–b
BONES OF THE LOWER
LIMBS
The lower leg has two bones
• Tibia
• Shinbone
• Larger and medially oriented
• Fibula
• Thin and sticklike
BONES OF THE LOWER
LIMBS
Figure 5.25c
BONES OF THE LOWER
LIMBS
The foot
• Tarsals
• Two largest tarsals
• Calcaneus (heelbone)
• Talus
• Metatarsals—sole
• Phalanges—toes
BONES OF THE LOWER
LIMB

The foot supports body
weight and acts as a
lever to propel the body
forward in walking and
running
