Pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle)
• Articulates the upper limbs with the trunk
• Consists of clavicle and scapula

Clavicle and scapula
• Position the shoulder joint
• Help move the upper limb
• Provide a base for muscle attachment

Scapula markings are attachment sites for
tendons/ligaments of shoulder joint
• Coracoid process

The upper limbs
• Scapula articulates with the humerus at the
glenohumoral joint
• Greater and lesser tubercles are muscle
attachment sites

Carpal bones and hand
• Carpus forms wrist
• Two rows of short bones
• Distal row articulates with metacarpals
• Four fingers have three phalanges
• Pollex (thumb) has two

SECTION 8-2
The Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbs
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The pelvic girdle and lower limbs
• More massive than the pectoral girdle
• Consists of two os coxae
• Fusion of ilium, ischium and pubis

Figure 8.7
Ilium
• Largest hip bone
• Within acetabulum, fused to the ischium
(posteriorly) and the pubis (anteriorly)
• Pubic symphysis limits left to right

Pelvis
• Composed of the hipbones, sacrum and coccyx
• Subdivided into the false (greater) and true
(lesser) pelvis

The lower limbs
• Femur is the longest bone in the body
• Articulates with the tibia at the knee
• Patella is a large sesamoid bone
• Fibula parallels tibia laterally

Tarsus
• Has seven tarsal bones
• Pattern of metatarsal bones and phalanges
parallels that of the hand
• All toes have three phalanges except the hallux
(two phalanges)

Figure 8.14
Ankle and arches
• When standing, most of the weight of the body is
transferred from the talus to the calcaneous
• Rest is passed on to metatarsals
• Weight transfer occurs along longitudinal arch
• Transverse arch

SECTION 8-3
Individual Variation in the Skeletal System
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Important Variation in the Skeletal System
• Medical history
• Weight
• Gender
• Body size
• Muscle mass
• Age
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Age related changes in skeletal system
• Begin about age one
• Continue throughout life
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
You should now be familiar with:
• The bones of the pectoral girdle and upper limbs,
their functions and their features.
• The bones of the pelvic girdle and lower limbs,
their functions and their features.
• The similarities and differences between the male
and female skeleton and pelvic structure.
• How the skeleton can reveal significant
information about the individual.
• The effect of aging on the skeleton.
