⁰¹

BØÑËS ØF FØRË LÏMBS (30 X 2 = 60)



Include Humerus (1), Radius (1), Ulna (1), Carpals

BØÑËS ØF HÏÑD LÏMBS (30 X 2 = 60)



Include Femur (thigh bone- 1), Patella (knee

cap- 1), Tibia (1) & fibula (1), Tarsals (ankle

bones-7),

Metatarsals

(5)

&

Phalanges

(digits-14).

Ç. PËÇTØRÅL GÏRDLËS (2X2 = 4)



Include clavicle (2) & scapula (2).



Scapula is a large triangular flat bone

situated in the dorsal part of the thorax

between the second and 7th ribs.



Scapula

(shoulder

blade)

has

a

slightly elevated ridge (spine) which

projects as a flat, expanded process

(acromion). The clavicle (collarbone)

articulates with this.

(AIPMT 2005)



Below the acromion is glenoid cavity

which articulates with the head of

humerus to form the shoulder joint.

D. PËLVÏÇ GÏRDLËS (2)



Formed of 2 coxal bones. Each coxal bone is formed by the fusion of 3

bones- Ilium, Ischium & pubis.



At the point of fusion of ilium, ischium and pubis is a cavity (acetabulum)

to which the thigh bone articulates.



The 2 halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form pubic symphysis

containing fibrous cartilage.
