    • Inferior Angle 
    • The point of the scapula
  8. Lateral Border
    • Coracoid Process
    • C shape protrusion important for muscle attachment
    • Glenoid Cavity
    • Where the arm articulates like the acetabulum
    • Subscapular fossa
    • Fossa=Large divot
    • Sign you are looking at the front of the scapula
    • Supraspinous Fossa
    • Fossa above the spine of scapula
    • Acromion
    • Where the spine ends into a large blunt surface
    • Behind caracoid
    • Spine of scapula 
    • Signifies the back
    • Infraspinous fossa
    • Below the spine
    • Anterior/Posterior view of the Humerous
    • Articulates w/scapula
    • Greater tubercle
    • Lateral muscle attachment
    • Lesser tubercle
    • Comes straight at us when looking at the anterior
    • Head of humerus
    • Goes into the glenoid cavity
    • Intertubercular sulcus
    • Grove in between the tubercle
    • Coronoid fossa
    • Small groove above the trochlea
    • Medial Epicondyle
    • Bone protrudes 
    • "Funny bone"
    • Trochlea Condyle
    • Medial
    • Looks like a spool of thread
    • Capitulum Condyle
    • Lateral
    • Looks like a bead
    • Radial Fossa
    • Small groove
    • Forearm articulates here when you flex
  9. Anatomical Neck
    • Surgical Neck
    • Where the bone thins out
    • Place where the bone breaks most often
    • Where the growth plate was
    • Deltoid tuberosity
    • Roughened on shaft 
    • Comes out laterally
    • Olecranon fossa
    • Large groove
    • Ulna fits in here when arm is extended
    • Glenohumeral Joint
    • Shoulder joint
  10. Anterior/posterior view of Radius & Ulna

    • Ulna is medial and "eats the trochlea
    • Allows movement

    Radius is lateral
    • Olecranon Process
    • The top of the "C"
    • Trochlear notch
    • Cut out for trochlea
    • Curve of "C"
    • Coronoid Process
    • Bottom part of "C"
    • Head of ulna
    • More distal
    • Styloid process of Ulna
    • Comes off of the head
    • Head of Radius
    • Flat
    • Radial Tuberosity
    • Biceps attach here
    • Styloid process of Radius
    • More lateral
    • Similar to the ankle
