Chapter 8
The Appendicular Skeleton
•
•
•
Course objectives:
List the bones of the appendicular skeleton
Describe and identify the bones of the
pectoral girdle
Describe and identify the bones of the pelvic
girdle
Appendicular Skeleton
• Includes the bones of the upper limb and their
attachments to the axial skeleton at the pectoral
girdle.
• Includes the bones of the lower limb and their
attachments to the axial skeleton at the pelvic
girdle.
Pectoral Girdle
• scapula – “shoulder blade”
-(triangular flat bone) articulates with
humerus of arm at the glenoid fossa
• clavicle – “ collar bone"
-flat bone articulates with the acromion
process of scapula and the manubrium
of the sternum, thus forming the only
bony link with the axial skeleton and
pectoral appendicular skeleton
Scapula
• Thin triangular flat bone that forms the bulk of
the shoulder
• Articulates with the humerus of the arm at the
glenoid fossa
• Articulates with the clavicle at the acromion
process

The clavicle
The Upper Limb
• Consists of 30 bones
• Grouped into bones of the arm, forearm
and hand
• Arm = Humerus
• Forearm = Radius and Ulna
• Hand = Carpals (8), metacarpals (5) and
phalanges (5)

Olecranon and radial fossa
Coronoid process
Deltoid tuberosity
Capitulum
Trochlea
Forearm “antebrachium”
• Consists of the Radius (lateral) and Ulna
(medial).
• Both are connected along their length by a
ligament (interosseous membrane)

The Hand
•
•
•
•
Consists of:
Carpals (8) “wrist”
Metacarpals (5) “palm”
Phalanges (5) “fingers”
Carpal bones
Eight bones makeup the wrist
Carpal bones
Metacarpals and Phalanges
• These bones are not named individually but are
numbered 1-5.
• The thumb “pollex” is number 1.
• They are all long bones
• The base of the metacarpals articulate with the
carpal bones at their base and the phalanges at
their head.
• The phalanges consist of a proximal, middle and
distal phalanx in all but the thumb .
Metacarpals and Phalanges
The Pelvic Girdle
• The “hips” form a much more solid and stable
connection for the lower limbs to the axial
skeleton than the pectoral girdle is to the upper
limbs.
• The pelvic girdle is formed by the coxal bones
(a.k.a. hip bones, os coxae) which fuse
posteriorly with the sacrum.
• The coxal bones are formed by the fusion of
three separate bones ( ilium, ischium and
pubis) during growth.
“Os Coxae” Hip bones
• Formed by the fusion of three bones
-1. ilium, 2. ischium, and 3. pubis
• Attaches to the lower limb and spine at sacroiliac joint
• Supports the pelvic organs or viscera
• Attached to the axial skeleton by strong ligaments

Iliac fossa
Ischial spine and tuberosity; ramus of ischium
Obturator foramen
Superior and inferior ramus of pubis
Pubic symphysis and pubic arch
Acetabulum
Male vs Female Os coxae
• Significant differences exist between the male
and female pelvis.
– ♀ pelvic outlet is enlarged due to in part greater
separation of ischial spines
– ♀ less curvature of sacrum and coccyx which in
males ♂ arcs into pelvic outlet
– ♀ wider more circular pelvic inlet
– ♀ relatively broad, low pelvis
– A broader pubic angle in ♀ between pubic bones
> 100°
Male
Female
True vs. False pelvis
• False pelvis = area within entire pelvic girdle
• True pelvis = area below pelvic brim
Lower limb
Consists of:
• Femur “Thigh” = hip to the knee
• Tibia and fibula “Leg” = knee to foot
• Foot
