1.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 process
3. three angles (the superior, inferior and
lateral )
lateral angle glenoid cavity

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 nerve
The lower end: lateral capitulum
medial trochlea
coronoid fossa
olecranon fossa
lateral and medial epicondyles
sulcus for ulnar nerve

. Carrying angle

The radius
The proximal end: a head, neck ..and
tuberosity .
The shaft: interosseous border
The 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

14 in number , two for the thumb
and three for each of other
digits.
