Identifying Bones of the Upper Extremities Flashcards - Anatomy

Question

On which bone is the deltoid tuberosity?

Answer

The deltoid is a muscle on the lateral portion of the upper arm. The humerus is the bone on the upper arm and the deltoid attaches to the humerus. The radius and ulna is located on the lower portion of the arm. The clavicle is in the upper chest, also known as the collarbone. The scapula is the shoulder blade and the deltoid does not attach to it.

Question

Which of the following is not a carpal bone?

Question

Which of these bones is classified as a long bone?

Answer

Bones are classified according to shape. Long bones include the humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, femur, fibula, phalanges, and metacarpals. The carpal and tarsal bones are short bones, which are cuboid-shaped. The ribs are flat bones. Lastly, the vertebrae are irregular bones, meaning they are of mixed shapes.

Question

Which of these is not present on the scapula?

Answer

The coronoid and coracoid processes are easily confused. While the coracoid process lies on the superior lateral portion of the scapula, the coronoid process is found on other bones such as the mandible and ulna.

Question

Which is a feature of the distal posterior end of the humerus?

Answer

The humerus articulates with the olecranon of the ulna in the olecranon fossa.

The capitulum and radial fossa are on the anterior side of the humerus; the intertubercular groove is proximal rather than distal; and the styloid process is a projection of the ulna rather than the humerus.

Question

Which bones make up the shoulder girdle?

Answer

The shoulder girdle (or what bones keep the arm attached the the body) is made up of the clavicle and scapula, which together create the frame for the joint space for the upper arm, as well as muscle attachment.

Question

Which bone of the shoulder is commonly known as the collar bone?

Answer

The clavicle is commonly known as the collar bone. Hint: the collar of your shirt lies against this bone.

Question

Which bone is considered the upper arm bone?

Answer

The humerus makes up the upper arm. The clavicle and scapula create the shoulder girdle in which the humerus joins with. Finally the radius and Ulna make up the forearm bones.

Question

Which bones create the elbow joint?

Answer

The radius and ulna make up the forearm bones, which meet with the humerus of the upper arm to create the elbow joint. All other options only include one or some of these bones, which make them incorrect.

Question

Which bones make up the wrist?

Answer

The carpals make up the wrist. The metacarpals make up the body of the hand. The tarsals and metatarsals make up the ankle and the body of the foot, respectively.

Question

Which is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb?

Answer

The humerus is the largest, longest bone of the upper limb. The radius and ulna — neither as large as the humerus — make up the forearm, while the femur is analogous to the humerus in the lower limb.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Which are the most distal bones of the upper limb?

Answer

Phalanges, the digits of the hand, are the most distal bones of the upper limb.

The humerus is the bone of the upper arm. The ulna is the bone of the medial side of the forearm. The radius is the bone of the lateral side of the forearm. These bones are all proximal to the phalanges.

Question

Which of the following is a feature of the ulna?

Answer

The olecranon is a feature of the ulna. It is commonly known as the elbow. The coracoid process can be found on the scapula and both the deltoid tuberosity and trochlea can be found on the humerus.

Question

The __________ are the eight wrist bones.

Answer

The carpals are the eight wrist bones. The metacarpals make up the body of the hand between the wrist and the projection of the fingers. The phalanges are the bones of the fingers and toes. The fourteen tarsals and ten metatarsals make up the ankles and the bodies of the feet, respectively.
