Upper limb
1
Freely movable on trunk at shoulder joint
Consists of: Shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand
2
3
Shoulder girdle consists of clavicle and the scapula
4
ClavicleLong slender bone across the root of the
neck.Sturt holding the arm away from trunk and transmits forces from limb to axial
skeleton and provides attachment to the muscles
5
Subcutaneous Medial 2/3rd convex forwardLateral 1/3rd concave forward
Articulations: Sternum and 1st costal cartilage medially Acromian process of scapula laterally
6
7
ScapulaFlat triangular bone Posterior thoracic wall between 2nd and 7th
ribs
Spine of scapula forming acromion articulating with scapula
Superolateral angle fossa glenoid fossa articulating with humerus forming shoulder joint
Coracoid process projects upward and forward, attaches muscles 8
9
Subscapular fossa: entire anterior concave surface
Supraspinaous fossa : concave surface above the spine
Infraspinous fossa: concave surface below the spine
10
Humerus Head of humerus: 1/3rd of sphere and
articulates with glenoid cavity of scapulaSurgical neck: Just below the sphere is Anatomical Neck: point of fusion of head
with the shaft.Medial and later epicondyles for
attachment of musclesRounded capitulum(lateral) for head of
radius and pulley shaped trochlear for ulna

13
AxillaAxilla or armpit, is pyramid shaped space
formed by the axillary folds,Anterior by lower border of pectoralis
major and behind by tendon of latissimus dorsi and teres major muscle
14
Contents of axillaAxillary artery (direct continuation of
subclavian) & arteriesAxillary vein & tributries
Brachial plexus: Radial nerve(C5,6,7,8,T1) Median nerve(C5,6,7,8,T1) Ulnar nerve(C8,T1)
15
16
Shoulder jointSynovial ball and socket joint between
rounded head of humeres and glenoid cavity of scapula
17
Rotator cuffStabilize the shoulder joint:
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis
Stabilizes and supports the shoulder joint
18
19
Arm Sheath of deep fascia divides
Anterior compartment Biceps brachii (major muscle) Brachial artery Musculocutaneous nerve Flexes the elbow joint
Posterior compartment Triceps muscle Branches of brachial artery Radial nerve Extends the elbow joint 20
21
Cubital fossaTriangular depression in front of the elbowBrachioradialis muscle, laterallyPronator teres, mediallySkin,fascia, superiorly and Imaginary line between the 2 condyles of
humeres
Contains: Median nerve, Bifurcation of brachial artery into ulnar and radial
arteries Radial nerve
22
23
Radiuslateral bone of forearmArticulations,Proxiamally, with humeres and ulnaDistally, with scaphoid, lunate and ulna
24
25
Ulna Ulna is the medial bone of the forearm
Articulations: * trochlea of the humerus, at the right side elbow as a
hinge joint with semilunar trochlear notch of the ulna. * the radius, near the elbow as a pivot joint, this allows
the radius to cross over the ulna in pronation. * the distal radius, where it fits into the ulna notch. * the radius along its length via the interosseous
membrane that forms a syndesmoses joint.
26
Wrist Eight carpal bones, made of 2 rows of 4
bonesProximal row(lateral to medial):
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, PisiformDistal row:
Trapezium,trapezoid, capitate and hamate
27
28
Wrist jointDistal end of radius and articular disc
above and scaphoid, lunate and triquetral bones below.
Synovial ellipsoidal joint
Intercarpal jointsSynovial plane joints

Palm is made of metacarpals, and phalanges
