APPENDICULAR
SKELETON
In this lab, students should be able to identify the bones that
comprise the appendicular skeleton along with various features found
on those bones. The most common features found on bones are either
bumps or holes. However, anatomists use more precise terminology to
distinguish these features. Knowing this terminology often makes it
easier to learn the features. Thus, I would suggest that you
familiarize yourself with the terminology found on page 164 of your
text.
Objectives for Lab 2: Be able to
identify the following.
1. Pelvic Girdle and Inferior Appendage
Bones (pg 204)
Coxal Bone: Ilium,
Ischium, Pubis,
acetabulum, ischial tuberosity, ischial spine, obturator foramen,
anterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine,
posterior superior iliac spine, posterior inferior iliac spine,
greater sciatic notch, lesser sciatic notch. Also know right vs. left
coxal bone.
Femur: head,
greater and lesser trochanter,
medial and lateral condyle, neck. Also know right vs. left
femur.
Patella
Tibia: medial
malleolus, tibial tuberosity,
medial and lateral condyle. Also know right vs. left tibia.
Fibula: head and lateral malleolus
Tarsals: calcaneus, talus, cuboid,
navicular, lateral, intermediate, and medial cunieform
Metatarsals 1-5
Proximal, middle, and distal phalanx
2. Pectoral Girdle and Superior
Appendage Bones (pg 196-203)
Clavicle
Scapula: spine,
coracoid process, acromion
process, glenoid fossa, suprascapular notch, supraspinous fossa,
infraspinous fossa. Also know right vs. left scapula

greater and lesser tubercle,
coronoid fossa, olecranon fossa, trochlea, capitulum, later and
medial epicondyle. Also know right vs. left humerus.
Ulna: olecranon
process, coronoid process,
styloid process.
Radius: head, neck, radial tuberosity,
styloid process.
Carpals: scaphoid, lunate, capitate,
pisiform, hamate, trapezium, trapezoid

interact and articulate with each other.)
