**Bones of the Upper Limb**
**Girdle (Cingulum)** - Connects limbs to axial skeleton.
**Free Limb (Extremitas Libera)** - Divided into three segments:
1. **Stylopodium** - Humerus.
2. **Zeugopodium** - Ulna, radius.
3. **Autopodium** - Carpal bones, metacarpal bones, phalanges.
**Scapula (Shoulder Blade)**
- Flat, triangular bone.
- Surfaces: dorsalis, costalis.
- Borders: lateralis, medialis, superior.
- Angles: superior, lateralis, inferior.
- Spina scapulae divides dorsal surface into fossa supraspinata and fossa infraspinata. Fossa subscapularis.
- Notable features: acromion, processus coracoideus, cavitas glenoidalis, tuberculum supraglenoidale, tuberculum infraglenoidale.
**Clavicle (Collarbone)**
- Connects scapula to thorax.
- Features: corpus claviculae, extremitas sternalis, extremitas acromialis, impressio ligamenti costoclavicularis, tuberculum conoideum.
**Humerus (Upper Arm Bone)**
- Proximal: caput humeri, collum anatomicum, tuberculum majus, tuberculum minus.
- Shaft: tuberositas deltoidea, sulcus nervi radialis.
- Distal: condylus humeri (trochlea, capitulum), epicondylus medialis, epicondylus lateralis, fossa radialis, fossa coronoidea, fossa olecrani.
**Radius (Forearm Bone)**
- Proximal: caput radii, collum radii.
- Shaft: tuberositas radii, margo interosseus.
- Distal: processus styloideus, facies articularis carpalis, incisura ulnaris.
**Ulna (Elbow Bone)**
- Proximal: olecranon, incisura trochlearis, processus coronoideus.
- Shaft: margo interosseus, margo posterior.
- Distal: caput ulnae, processus styloideus, facies articularis capitis ulnaris.
**Bones of the Hand (Ossa Manus)**
- **Carpal Bones (Ossa Carpi)**: 8 wrist bones in two rows.
- Proximal: scaphoideum, lunatum, triquetrum, pisiforme.
- Distal: trapezium, trapezoideum, capitatum, hamatum.
- **Metacarpal Bones (Ossa Metacarpi)**: 5 metacarpal bones.
- **Phalanges**: Finger bones (proximal, middle, distal).
- **Sesamoid Bones (Ossa Sesamoidea)**: Embedded in tendons, notably in the thumb.
**Joints of the Upper Limb**
- **Sternoclavicular Joint (Articulatio Sternoclavicularis)**: Composite joint with an articular disc.
- **Acromioclavicular Joint (Articulatio Acromioclavicularis)**: Connects clavicle to acromion.
- **Glenohumeral Joint (Articulatio Glenohumeralis)**: Shoulder joint.
- **Elbow Joint (Articulatio Cubiti)**: Composite joint involving humerus, ulna, radius.
- **Distal Radioulnar Joint (Articulatio Radioulnaris Distalis)**: Between distal ends of radius and ulna.
- **Hand Joints (Articulationes Manus)**: Include wrist joints (radiocarpal, mediocarpal, intercarpal), carpometacarpal, intermetacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints.
**Arteries and Veins of the Upper Limb**
- **Subclavian Artery (A. Subclavia)**: Transverse Cervical Artery, Suprascapular Artery.
- **Axillary Artery (A. Axillaris)**: Branches include Circumflex Humeral Arteries, Brachial Artery, Deep Brachial Artery.
- **Forearm Arteries**: Radial Artery, Ulnar Artery -> Common Interosseous Artery -> Anterior and Posterior Interosseous Arteries.
- **Palmar Arches**: Superficial and Deep Palmar Arches connecting to metacarpal arteries.
