Upper Appendicular Skeleton
Mrs. Halkuff
Anatomy & Physiology
Vertebral Column
Made up of 33 bones
Cervical Vertebrae: First 7
Form the neck & support the
head.
C-1 is called the atlas as it
allows the head to nod “yes”.
C-2 is called the axis as it
allows the head to shake “no”.
Thoracic Vertebrae: Second 12
Anchor the ribcage
Larger than the cervical vertebrae
Increase in size inferiorly.
Lumbar Vertebrae: Third 5
Largest set of vertebrae
Support weight
Allow attachment of back muscles.

Sacrum & Coccyx
•Sacral Horns
•Medial Sacral Crest

Sternum
Manubrium
Jugular Notch
Clavicular Notch
Body
Xiphoid Process
Clavicle
Makes up the shoulder girdle.
Connects the sternum to the scapula.
Medial 2/3rd of shaft is convex anteriorly
Lateral 1/3rd is flat & concave anteriorly.
Helps to form two joints:
Sternoclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
Clavicle
Medial End
Lateral End
Scapula
Covers the 2nd – 7th ribs
Connects the clavicle to the humerus.
Has a concave anterior surface &
convex posterior surface.

Radius
Shorter of the two forearm bones
Has circular radius

Radial Tuberosity
Styloid Process
Ulna
Longer of the two
forearm bones
Has “pipe wrench”
appearance; or
“U” for “ulna”
Olecranon Process
Coronoid Process
Radial Notch
Hand
Phalanges (Proximal,
Middle, Distal)
Each phalange is a
miniature long bone.
Wider at the base
(proximal end) & smaller
at the head (distal end).
Thumb has 2 phalanges;
all other digits have 3
phalanges.
Metacarpals
Heads are the distal ends that articulate
with the phalanges (knuckles).
Shafts are concave on medial & lateral
sides to allow for muscle attachment.
Carpals
Wrist=“Carpus”
8 bones arranged in proximal & lateral rows.
Proximal Row (Medial  Lateral)
Scaphoid “Rowboat”, Lunate “Moon”, Triquetrum
“3 cornered bone”, Pisiform “Pea”
Distal Row (Medial  Lateral)
Trapezium “Large Table”, Trapezoid “Little Table”,
Hamate “Hook”, Capitate “Round Head”
