Shoulder girdle. The shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle is the set of bones in the appendicular skeleton which connects to the arm on each side. In humans, it consists of the clavicle and scapula; in those species with three bones in the shoulder, it consists of the clavicle, scapula, and coracoid. Some mammalian species (such as the dog and ...
The forearm (Latin: antebrachium), [5] composed of the radius and ulna; the latter is the main distal part of the elbow joint, while the former composes the main proximal part of the wrist joint. Most of the large number of muscles in the forearm are divided into the wrist, hand, and finger extensors on the dorsal side (back of hand) and the ...
The forearm is the region of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist. [1] The term forearm is used in anatomy to distinguish it from the arm , a word which is used to describe the entire appendage of the upper limb, but which in anatomy, technically, means only the region of the upper arm, whereas the lower "arm" is called the forearm.
Cross-section of shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the scapula and the humerus. The socket of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is itself quite shallow, but it is made deeper by the addition of the glenoid labrum. The glenoid labrum is a ring of cartilaginous fibre attached to the circumference of the cavity.

35290. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The distal radioulnar articulation[1] (also known as the distal radioulnar joint, [2] or inferior radioulnar joint [1][3]) is a synovial pivot joint between the two bones in the forearm; the radius and ulna. It is one of two joints between the radius and ulna, the other being the proximal ...
TA2. 1773. FMA. 38854. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The humeroulnar joint (ulnohumeral or trochlear joint[1]) is part of the elbow-joint. It is composed of two bones, the humerus and ulna, and is the junction between the trochlear notch of ulna and the trochlea of humerus. [1] It is classified as a simple hinge-joint, which allows ...
38411. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The posterior compartment of the forearm (or extensor compartment) contains twelve muscles which primarily extend the wrist and digits. [2] It is separated from the anterior compartment by the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna.
