raised area on lateral surface of humerus to which deltoid muscle attaches

arm bone

bones of the shoulder girdle

forearm bones

scapular region to which the clavicle connects

shoulder girdle bone that is unattached to the axial skeleton

shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax

depression in the scapula that articulates with the humerous

process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment

the "collarbone"

distal condyle of the humerus that articulates with the ulna

medial bone of forearm in anatomical position

rounded knob on the humerus; adjoins the radius

anteriar depression, superior to the trochlea, which receives part of the ulna when the forearm is flexed

forearm bone involved in formation of the elbow joint

wrist bones

finger bones

heads of these bones form the knuckles

bones that articulate with the clavicle

Clavicle serves as an anterior base or strut to hold the arm away from the top of the thorax

Uterus, bladdar, rectum, small intestine, and reproductive organs

The true pelvis is small bowl-like shape containing the unrinary bladder and sexual organs. The false pelvis is the area been the alla or wings of the pelvis. This is a much larger area and contains some of the abdominal organs like part of the small intestine and part of the colon.

Female; It is adapted for childbearing, defines birth canal, Farther apart then a males, the sacrum is wider, shorter and less curved then a males. The pelvic inlet (brim) is wider; oval from side to side.

The pelvic bones of a two-legged animal such as a human have to carry his whole weight, divided by two. A four-legged animal such as a pig divides its weight over four legs, so each leg and each pelvic bone has to bear only a fourth of the animal's weight. As the strain on the bones is a half than in the two-legged case, the bones can be less massive.

To prevent a smaller target and also to protect the internal organs and genitalia.

Biologically, women have wider pelvises than men. The angle of their hips turn the legs slightly inward, making some to actually touch at the knees.

they can be more prone to knee related injuries, such as ACL tears due to high intensity straight knee landing or impact since the knee is already in a weak position.
