radius and ulna
radius and ulna
The ulna and the radius articulate with the distal humerus at the elbow joint. The ulna forms the primary articulation, while the head of the radius articulates with a small depression on the side of the ulna known as the radial notch.
In general, bone names are not capitalized unless they are named after a specific person or place. So, "humerus" would typically be written in lowercase, unless you are referring to the specific bone or using it in a title where capitalization is required.
Your radius and ulna are in your lower arm, and the humerus is in you upper arm. The radius goes from your thumb to your humerus, crossing over the ulna which goes from your pinky to your humerus. Your humerus also connects to your scapula (or shoulder blade) in what is called a "ball and socket" - the rounded end of your humerus fits perfectly into the indent in your scapula. In your fingers, you have carpals, which are your wrist bones; metacarpals, which are the palm of your hand; and phalanges, which are your finger bones.
Proximal to distal, the femur, the tibia, the patella, the fibula, the tarsal bones (ankle bones), the five metatarsals and the 12 phalanges.
The anatomical names for the hand bones are the metacarpals (palm), proximal phalanges (closest to the hand), middle phalanges, and distal phalanges (tip of the fingers).
Some scientific names for human body bones include the femur (thigh bone), humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and tibia (shin bone).
The bones of the fingers are carpals (hence carpal tunnel syndrome), and the bones in-between the wrists and fingers are metacarpals. The bones of the toes are tarsals and the bones in-between then toes and ankles are metatarsals. Huzzah!
The 14 phalanges in the human hand consist of three bones in each of the four fingers (index, middle, ring, and pinky) and two bones in the thumb. The names of the phalanges are: proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and distal phalanx for each of the four fingers, plus the proximal and distal phalanx for the thumb. Thus, the complete list includes: proximal phalanx (4), middle phalanx (3), and distal phalanx (4) for the fingers, and proximal phalanx (1) and distal phalanx (1) for the thumb.
The sternum of a horse has 54 sternebrae, and a 205 bones all together. Horses also have forelimbs and hind limbs that connect to the vertebrae. 60% of the names for the horse bone are the same as the human name.
The humerus bone is the long bone in your upper arm. In simple terms, it goes from your shoulder down to your elbow. But heres the names for all the bones is conects to starting from the shoulder area: The humerus bone connects to two parts of the scapula bone (shoulder blade) which are the acromoin and the coracoid process. Near the elbow, the humerus bone connects with the olecranon process and the head of the radius.
