    Bones of The Upper Limb

    Uploaded by

    Shimmering Moon
    The upper limb bones include the shoulder girdle bones of the clavicle and scapula. The arm bone is the humerus. The two forearm bones are the radius laterally and the ulna medially. The hand contains 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges. The clavicle is the collar bone that connects the upper limb to the trunk at the sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints. It transmits forces between the upper limb and axial skeleton and provides attachments for muscles and ligaments.

    Bones of the upper

    limb
    Bonesoftheupperlimb

    Bones of shoulder girdle:


    •The clavicle
    •The scapula

    1. Bones of Arm: Humerus

    2.Forearm Bones: radius )is the lateral bone )


    ulna ( is the medial bone )

    3.Hand:
    carpal bones are 8.
    • metacarpal bones are 5
    • Phalanges ( 14 )
    The shoulder girdle
    consists of:

    •The clavicle
    •The scapula
    Clavicle
    •The clavicle is a long, slender
    bone that lies horizontally across
    the root of the neck just beneath
    the skin.

    •It is also called collar bone

    •It connects upper limb to the


    trunk.
    ENDS AND SURFACES
    It consist of:
    Sternal end: Enlarge and triangular
    Acromial end: Flat
    Body (shaft): Elongated

    It consist of four surfaces:


    •Inferior surface
    •Superior surface
    •Anterior surface
    •Posterior surface
    ARTICULATIONS
    It articulates:
    Medially with the manubrium of sternum
    and 1st costal cartilage at
    Sternoclavicular joint.

    Laterally with the acromion process of


    the scapula at Acromioclavicular joint.
    It is divided into:
    •Medial two thirds
    •Lateral one third

    Medial two thirds of the


    clavicle is convex forward
    And
    Lateral one third is
    concave forward.
    Inferior surface
    •Conoid tubercle: Near the acromial end of the
    clavicle, give attachment to the Conoid
    ligament.

    •Trapezoid line: Near the acromial end of the


    clavicle, give attachment to the Trapezoid
    ligament.

    •Subclavian groove: In the medial third of the


    shaft of the clavicle, give attachment to the
    subclavius muscle.

    •Impression costoclavicular ligament: Rough


    depressed oval area at sternal end that give
    attachment to the costoclavicular ligament.

    •Origin of sternohyoid muscle.


    SUPERIOR SURFACE:
    Attachment for Sternocleidomastoid muscle
    at medial two third of the clavicle
    Attachment for Trapezius Muscle at lateral
    one third of the clavicle

    ANTERIOR SURFACE:
    Attachment for Pectoralis major muscle at
    medial two third of the clavicle
    Attachment for Deltoid Muscle at lateral one
    third of the clavicle
    Functions
    •The clavicle holds the arm away from the trunk.
    •It also transmits forces from the upper limb to the axial skeleton
    •It provides attachment for muscles
    •It provides attachment for ligaments that bind it to the first rib at its
    sternal end and suspend the scapula from its acromial end.
    Fractures of the Clavicle
    It is the most commonly fractured bone in the
    body.

    The fracture usually occurs as a result of a fall on


    the shoulder or outstretched hand. The force is
    transmitted along the clavicle, which breaks at its
    weakest point, the junction of the middle and outer
    thirds.

    After the fracture, the lateral fragment is depressed


    by the weight of the arm, and it is pulled medially
    and forward by the strong adductor muscles of the
    shoulder joint, especially the pectoralis major.

    The medial end is tilted upward by the


    sternocleidomastoid muscle.
