Chapter 5 Upper limb anatomy Bones and joints Scapula Costal Surface The costal (anterior) surface of the scapula faces the ribcage. It contains a large concave depression over most of its surface, known as the subscapular fossa. The subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) originates from this fossa. Originating from the superolateral surface of the costal scapula is the coracoid process. It is a hook-like projection, which lies just underneath the clavicle. Three muscles attach to the coracoid process: the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis, the short head of biceps brachii. Acromion Coracoid process Glenoid fossa Subscapular fossa © teachmeanatomy Lateral surface • Glenoid fossa - a shallow cavity, located superiorly on the lateral border. It articulates with the head of the humerus to form the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. • Supraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately superior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the biceps brachii. • Infraglenoid tubercle - a roughening immediately inferior to the glenoid fossa. The place of attachment of the long head of the triceps brachii. Supraglenoid tubercle Glenoid fossa Infraglenoid tubercle gn teachmeanatomy Posterior surface • Spine - the most prominent feature of the posterior scapula. It runs transversely across the scapula, dividing the surface into two. • Acromion - projection of the spine that arches over the glenohumeral joint and articulates with the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint. • Infraspinous fossa - the area below the spine of the scapula, it displays a convex shape. The infraspinatus muscle originates from this area. • Supraspinous fossa - the area above the spine of the scapula, it is much smaller than the infraspinous fossa, and is more convex in shape.The supraspinatus muscle originates from this area.

Radius — Medial Epicondyle Trochlea Ulna Forearm bones, are radius and ulna. • Carpal bones (Proximal) - A set of eight irregularly shaped bones. These are located in the wrist area. • Metacarpals - There are five metacarpals, each one related to a digit. • Phalanges (Distal) - The bones of the fingers. Each finger has three phalanges, except for the thumb, which has two.
