convex

Scapula1.two surfaces ： anterior surface: subscapular fossa dorsal surface: spine of scapula acromion supraspinous fossa infraspinous fossa 2. three borders:(superior,lateral,medial) superior border → coracoid process3. three angles (the superior, inferior and lateral ) lateral angle → glenoid cavity inferior angle →the 7th rib

Bones of upper limb

1.Arm:humerus

2.Forearm:radius )is the lateral bone ) ulna ( is the medial bone )

3.Hand: carpal bones are 8 , metacarpal bones are 5 and phalanges ( 14 )

The humerus: is a long bone ,has a body

(shaft) and two ends (extremities)

The upper (proximal) end : head of humerus lateral →greater tubercle anterior →lesser tubercle surgical neck Body: deltoid tuberosity sulcus for radial nerveThe lower end: lateral → capitulum medial →trochlea coronoid fossa olecranon fossa lateral and medial epicondyles sulcus for ulnar nerve

The radius

The proximal end: a head…, neck ..and tuberosity …. The shaft: interosseous borderThe distal end: styloid process

The wrist joint is made up between radius and two carpal bones; the ulna does not share in formation of wrist joint .

The bones of hand

include three parts: the carpal bones,

the metacarpal bones

and phalanges

The carpal bones ( the bones of the wrist )

The proximal row ： scaphoid, lunate, triquetral and pisiform bones The distal row :trapezium, trapezoid,

capitate and hamate bones

.The metacarpal bones ( short long bones i.e has 3 parts :

a shaft, and 2 ends a head, a base

. The phalanges : 14 in number , two for the

thumb and three for each of other digits.

The metacarpal bones Are 5 :
