What is the roughened line that runs along the length of the posterior femur?
More inferiorly, the gluteal tuberosity becomes continuous with the linea aspera (“rough line”). This is the roughened ridge that passes distally along the posterior side of the mid-femur. Multiple muscles of the hip and thigh regions make long, thin attachments to the femur along the linea aspera.
What is the name of the bony process that extends distally from the head of the ulna?
Distally, the ulna is much smaller and terminates with a rounded head that articulates with the ulnar notch of the radius to form the distal radioulnar joint. The styloid process of the ulna extends distally and is the site of attachment for ligaments found in the wrist.
What is the name of the little depression where the humerus fits into on the scapula?
The remaining corner of the scapula, between the superior and lateral borders, is the location of the glenoid cavity (glenoid fossa). This shallow depression articulates with the humerus bone of the arm to form the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint).
What is the name of the joint at the anterior junction of the pubic bone?
The pubis forms the anterior portion of the hip bone. The pubis curves medially, where it joins to the pubis of the opposite hip bone at a specialized joint called the pubic symphysis.
What is another name for the epiphyseal line of the humerus?
The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.
What is the name of the location where the head of the humerus fits into?
The glenohumeral joint is the one most people think of as the shoulder joint. It is formed where a ball (head) at the top of the humerus fits into a shallow cuplike socket (glenoid) in the scapula, allowing a wide range of movement.
What joins the two hip bones at the anterior junction?
The pubic symphysis joins the hip bones at the anterior junction.
What is epiphyseal fusion?
Epiphyseal fusion in primates is a process that occurs in a regular sequence spanning a period of years and thus provides biological anthropologists with a useful marker of maturity that can be used to assess age and stage of development.
What is the ball in your shoulder called?
Which Coxal bone contains the anterior and posterior gluteal lines?
The lateral surface of the ilium has 3 rough curved lines: the posterior, anterior, and inferior gluteal lines. Medially, the ilium has an iliac fossa. Posteriorly, the medial aspect of the ilium has an auricular surface. The ischium is the inferior aspect of the pelvis.
Which raised line extends superiorly and laterally along the superior ramus of the pubis eventually merging with the arcuate line of the ilium?
Flexor retinaculum, Trapezium., Pisiform. In the standard anatomical position, the _____ is the bone of the pelvis found the most superior. Which raised line extends superiorly and laterally along the superior ramus of the pubis eventually merging with the arcuate line of the ilium? the true pelvis.
