  1. Appendicular skeleton: Upper limbs

  2. Humerus: • Upper arm bone • Humerus structures • Greater tubercle • Lesser tubercle • Deltoid tuberosity • Trochlea-spool • Capitulum-head of radius • Coronoid fossa-anterior-coronoid process of ulna • Olecranon fossa-posterior-olecranon process of ulna • Epicondyle • Intertubercular groove

  3. Lesser tubercle Greater tubercle Head of humerus Intertubercular groove Deltoid tuberosity Coronoid fossa Olecranon fossa Capitulum Epicondyle Trochlea

  4. Radius: • Radial tuberosity • Styloid process

  5. Radial head Styloid process Radial tuberosity

  6. Ulna: • Coronoid process • Olecranon process • Trochlear notch

  7. Coronoid process Trochlear notch Olecranon process

  8. Hand: • Carpal bones-8 wrist bones • Metacarpals-5 palm bones • Phalanges-14 finger bones-they are proximal, middle and distal (except for the thumb only has proximal and distal)
