This indentation between the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus provides a secure location for the biceps tendon.
What is the bicipital groove of the humerus?

What is a scaphoid?
200

What are the occipital bone and 1st cervical vertebra? (Also known as the atlanto-occipital joint)
200
This bony feature articulates with the clavicles at the midline of the body.
What are the clavicular notches of the sternum?
200
This anterior feature of the scapula is a muscle and ligament attachment site. It is named after the Greek word for "raven's beak" because of its jutting appearance.
What is the coracoid process of the scapula?
200
This projection of the distal humerus is a muscle attachment site. The "funny bone" (ulnar nerve) is located posterior to it.
What is the medial epipcondyle of the humerus?
200
This carpal is a sesamoid bone.
What is the pisiform?
300
These neck bones are unique in being the only vertebrae with transverse foramina.
What are cervical vertebrae?
300
This feature of the rib is the indented inferior border of the blade that functions to protect intercostal nerves and blood vessels. it is very helpful in siding ribs.
What is the costal groove?
300
This blunt end of the clavicle articulates with the scapula laterally.
What is the acromial end of the clavicle?
300
The nutrient foramen of the ulna is where the blood vessels enter the diaphysis. From what direction does it enter?
What is distally (distal to proximal)?
300
This joint is the articulation between the 2nd and 3rd phalanges.
What is the DIP (distal interphalangeal joint)?
400
This painful and sometimes fatal fracture involves forward displacement of a vertebra, where the spinal cord is often damaged.
What is spondylolisthesis?
400
This feature of the rib articulates with the transverse costal facet on the transverse process of thoracic vertebrae.
What is the tubercle of the rib?
400
This bony feature is located along the posterior surface of the scapula. It extends obliquely, terminating in the acromion.
What is the spine of the scapula?
400
This bony feature of the distal humerus articulates with the semilunar notch of the ulna. It functions as a "pulley".
What is the trochlea of the humerus?
400
This boot-shaped bone is a component of the distal row of carpals.
What is the trapezoid?
500
Also known as lateral curvature of the spine, this debilitating condition can have neuromuscular, degenerative, or idiopathic origins.
What is scoliosis?
500
These supernumerary ribs can place pressure of the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, causing Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. The condition is seen in 0.05-3% of the population.
What are cervical ribs?
500
This concave area of the scapula is positioned below the spine of the scapula. It is the attachment site for muscles of the upper back.
What is the infraspinous fossa of the scapula?
500
This bony prominence is located at the distal end of the radius, palpable on the dorsum of the wrist. It serves as a pulley for a tendon of the thumb.
