Human Anatomy - Appendicular Skeleton and Pectoral Girdle Quiz

The scapula is commonly known as the shoulder blade due to its large, flat triangular shape located on the upper back.

The human hand consists of 14 bones, including those in the wrist (carpals), palm (metacarpals), and fingers (phalanges).

The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, supporting the weight during standing and walking.

The carpal bones are a group of eight small bones located in the wrist, forming the carpal tunnel.

The clavicle, commonly known as the collarbone, is a long bone that connects the shoulder blade to the sternum, providing stability and support to the shoulder.

The humerus is not part of the pectoral girdle; instead, it is the long bone of the upper arm, connecting the shoulder and elbow.

The acromion process is a bony projection of the scapula, forming the highest point of the shoulder.

The humerus articulates with the scapula at the glenoid cavity, forming the shoulder joint.

The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula, forming the glenohumeral joint.

The ulna forms the elbow joint with the humerus, articulating at the trochlear notch and forming the hinge joint of the elbow.

The sternoclavicular ligament connects the clavicle to the sternum, providing stability to the shoulder joint.

The pectoral girdle consists of the clavicle and scapula, connecting the upper limb to the axial skeleton.

The humerus is not part of the pectoral girdle, which comprises the clavicle and scapula.

The clavicle articulates with the manubrium, the uppermost segment of the sternum, forming the sternoclavicular joint.

The acromioclavicular joint is a plane synovial joint between the acromion process of the scapula and the clavicle, providing stability and mobility to the shoulder.
