Helpful Tips for Learning Bones
Do NOT learn bones based on size!
EX: Just because a bone is big does not mean it
is the femur!
For bone quizzes check out lecture CD-ROM
(skeletal system chapter)

Anatomical Terminology, Pg.4
Superior = above
Inferior = below
Anatomical Terminology, Pg.4
Anterior = front
Posterior = back
Anatomical Terminology, Pg.4
Medial = toward the Middle
Lateral = toward the side
Anatomical Terminology, Pg.4
Proximal = close to the trunk
(Proximal ~ Proximity)
Distal = Distant from the trunk
Articulating the Skeleton
Ligaments connect bones together
Tendons join muscles to bone
What type of tissue are ligaments & tendons?
Scapula, Pg 147, Posterior View
Glenoid Cavity
Deltoid muscle
attaches to the Spine
Humerus articulates at
the Glenoid Cavity
Spine

Scapula, Pg 147, Anterior View
Suprascapular
notch allows for
nerve passage

Notch
Distinguishing Left & Right Bones
1. Look at the bone’s morphology
2. Think of how it articulates with other bones
Humerus, Pg 148, Anterior View
Intertubercular Sulcus
Bicep tendon passes through the
Intertubular Sulcus
Deltoid Tuberosity
Deltoid muscle attaches to the
Deltoid Tuberosity

Sulcus
Bicep

Tuberosity
Radius, Pg 149, Anterior View
Radial Tuberosity
Bicep attaches at the Radial Tuberosity
Styloid Process
Wrist ligaments attach to the
Styloid Process
Bicep
Radial
Tuberosity
Ulna, Pg 149, Lateral View
Styloid Process
Wrist ligament
attachment site
Distinguishing the Radius & Ulna
Radius is on the thumb side of the forearm
The radius rotates when you twist your arm
Ulna has a wrench-like trochlear notch
Phalanges
Metacarpals
Carpals
Do Activity 1 and Activity 2
Find the answers to the questions in
your handout
Pelvic Girdle, Pg 152, Lateral View
Illium
Pubis
Ischium
Pelvis, Pg. 152, Lateral View
G. & L. Sciatic Notches
allow for nerve and
blood vessel passage
Greater Sciatic Notch
Lesser Sciatic Notch
Greater
Sciatic
Nerve
Look at a Pelvis at your Table
Do Activity 3 – Pg. 152
Distinguish between
male and female pelves
Femur, Pg 154, Posterior View
Greater Trochanter
Lesser Trochanter
Greater & Lesser Trochanters are
attachment sites for buttock muscles
Greater
Trochanter
Patella, Pg. 154, Anterior View
The patella protects the
knee joint
Tibia, Pg. 155, Anterior View
Tibial Tuberosity
Attachment site for patellar
ligament & quadriceps muscles
Medial Malleolus
Helps stabilize the ankle joint
Tibial
Tuberosity
Fibula, Pg. 155, Anterior View
The lateral malleolus helps
to stabilize the ankle joint
Lateral Malleolus
Distinguishing between the Tibia & Fibula
The Tibia is Tough
The Fibula is Flimsy
The Foot, Pg. 156, Lateral View
Attachment site
for the Achilles
(Calcaneal) tendon
Calcaneus
Achilles
Tendon
Distinguishing the Carpals & Tarsals
The Carpals are in the hand where some people
suffer from “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome”
The Tarsals are near the Toes
Do Activity 5 – Pg. 156
Do Activity 6 - Construct a Skeleton
