Includes: Paired coxal bones which articulate to the _________________.

Coxal bone (Hip Bone) – formed fusion of three bones:

                Ilium – Located ____________________ it is the largest of the 3 bones of the hip

                    Name the following bony landmarks based on the description given

• Superior ridge of the ilium, site of muscle attachment ______________________

A ‘notched out’ segment of the distal Ileum _________________________________

Answer 1

* The hand is the most Distal region of the upper limb.

* The 8 bones of the wrist are

(1) Scaphoid

(2) Lunate

(3) Triquetrum

(4) Trapezoid

(5) Trapezium

(6) Capitate

(7) Hamate

(8) Pisiform

* The 5 bones of the palm:

The 5 metacarpals make the bones palm

(1) Metacarpal 1 - Thumb

(2) Metacarpal 2 - Index finger

(3) Metacarpal 3 - Middle finger

(4) Metacarpal 4 - Ring finger

(5) Metacarpal 5 - Little finger

* The 14 bones of fingers:

Phalanges make-up the fingers or digits.

(1) Thumb - 2 phalanges i.e distal and proximal

(2) Index finger - 3 phalanges i.e distal, middle and proximal

(3) Middle finger - 3 phalanges i.e distal, middle and proximal

(4) Ring finger -3 phalanges i.e distal, middle and proximal

(5) Little finger - 3 phalanges I.e distal, middle and proximal.

Lower limb :

* The pelvic griddle attaches 'Lower limb to the axial skeleton'

* The paired coxal bones which articulates to the ' Head of the femur' to form the coxal joint.

* Ileum located in the pelvic region lateral to the sacrum at the base of the spinal cord.

* 'Ileum' is the largest of the 3 hip bones

* "External and internal oblique muscles of the abdominal musculature and Latissimus dorsi" inserts at the Iliac crest also called superior ridge of ilium.

* Notched out segment- the distal end dof small intestine that intersects with the large intestine which contains the iliocecal sphincter.
