Clavicle: anatomy, landmarks and muscle attachments
The clavicle, or collarbone, is an S-shaped bone that links the sternum to the scapula. Learn its ends, its joints and the muscles that attach to it, from the deltoid to the sternocleidomastoid.
Each bone, where it sits, its main landmarks, the joints it forms and every muscle that attaches to it.
The clavicle, or collarbone, is an S-shaped bone that links the sternum to the scapula. Learn its ends, its joints and the muscles that attach to it, from the deltoid to the sternocleidomastoid.
The humerus is the long bone of the upper arm, between the shoulder and the elbow. Learn its landmarks (head, tubercles, surgical neck, deltoid tuberosity, epicondyles), its joints and every muscle that attaches to it.
The radius is the lateral bone of the forearm, on the thumb side. Learn its head, radial tuberosity and styloid process, how it rotates around the ulna in pronation and supination, and its muscle attachments.
The scapula, or shoulder blade, is a flat triangular bone on the back of the thorax. Learn its borders, angles, spine, acromion, coracoid process and glenoid cavity, and the 17 or so muscles that attach to it.
The ulna is the medial bone of the forearm, on the little finger side. Learn its olecranon, coronoid process and trochlear notch, how it forms the elbow hinge, and the muscles that attach to it.
The femur is the thigh bone, the longest and strongest bone in the body. Learn its head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, linea aspera and condyles, its joints and the muscles that attach to it.
The fibula is the thin lateral bone of the leg. Learn its head, neck and lateral malleolus, its role in the ankle joint and the many muscles that attach to it, from biceps femoris to soleus.
The hip bone (os coxae) is formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis, fused at the acetabulum. Learn its landmarks (iliac crest, ASIS, AIIS, ischial tuberosity, pubic symphysis) and the many muscles that attach to it.
The tibia, or shin bone, is the larger, weight-bearing bone of the leg. Learn its condyles, tibial tuberosity, anterior border and medial malleolus, its joints and its muscle attachments.
The sternum, or breastbone, is the flat bone in the middle of the chest. Learn its three parts (manubrium, body, xiphoid process), the sternal angle, its joints with the clavicles and ribs, and its muscle attachments.
