Appendicular Skeleton
• Bones of the limbs and their girdles
• Pectoral girdle attaches the upper limbs to the
body trunk
• Pelvic girdle secures the lower limbs
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Pectoral Girdle (Shoulder Girdle)
• Clavicles and the scapulae
• Attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
• Provide attachment sites for muscles that
move the upper limbs

Clavicles (Collarbones)
• Flattened acromial (lateral) end articulates
with the scapula
• Cone-shaped sternal (medial) end articulates
with the sternum
• Act as braces to hold the scapulae and arms
out laterally

The Upper Limb
• 30 bones form the skeletal framework of each upper
limb
• Arm
• Humerus
• Forearm
• Radius and ulna
• Hand
• 8 carpal bones in the wrist
• 5 metacarpal bones in the palm
• 14 phalanges in the fingers
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Humerus
• Largest, longest bone of upper limb
• Articulates superiorly with glenoid cavity of
scapula
• Articulates inferiorly with radius and ulna

Bones of the Forearm
• Ulna
• Medial bone in forearm
• Forms the major portion of the elbow joint with the
humerus
• Radius
• Lateral bone in forearm
• Head articulates with capitulum of humerus and with
radial notch of ulna
• Interosseous membrane connects the radius and ulna
along their entire length

Hand: Carpus
• Eight bones in two rows
• Proximal row
• Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform
proximally
• Distal row
• Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate
distally
• Only scaphoid and lunate articulate with
radius to form wrist joint
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hand: Metacarpus and Phalanges
• Metacarpus
• Five metacarpal bones (#1 to #5) form the
palm
• Phalanges
• Each finger (digit), except the thumb, has three
phalanges—distal, middle, and proximal
• Fingers are numbered 1–5, beginning with the
thumb (pollex)
• Thumb has no middle phalanx

Pelvic (Hip) Girdle
• Two hip bones (each also called coxal bone or os
coxae)
• Attach the lower limbs to the axial skeleton with strong
ligaments
• Transmit weight of upper body to lower limbs
• Support pelvic organs
• Each hip bone consists of three fused bones: ilium,
ischium, and pubis
• Together with the sacrum and the coccyx, these
bones form the bony pelvis
