Appendicular skeleton
- Main job? Movin' and groovin'! 💃
- 🌎 Real-world example: If the axial skeleton (your spine, ribs, etc.) is like the security guard at a concert, then the appendicular skeleton is the main performer dancing on stage!
The upperbody boogie 🙌
- Pectoral (shoulder) Girdles
- Made up of: Clavicles + Scapulae.
- Fun fact: Clavicles are the ONLY bones connecting the shoulder to the main (axial) skeleton.
- Scapulae are triangular and sit behind your ribcage. Think of them like the wings on a bird's back! 🐦
- Humerus
- A long bone in your upper arm.
- 🌎 Real-world example: Like a crane arm - it connects at the shoulder (with scapula) and at the elbow (with ulna).
- Ulna & Radius
- Two parallel "buddy bones" in your forearm.
- Cool part? They twirl around each other at the radioulnar joint!
- Hand Jive
- Wrist = Carpal bones (tiny and packed together).
- Hand = Metacarpals.
- Fingers = Phalanges (3 for fingers, 2 for thumbs).
- 🌎 Real-world example: Think of your hand like a Swiss army knife. Different tools (fingers) for different tasks!
