The shoulder girdle
 Clavicle
 Scapula
Clavicle
 medial (or sternal) end
 lateral (or acromial) end: medial 2/3 is
convex
Scapula
1.two surfaces ：
anterior surface: subscapular fossa
dorsal surface: spine of scapula
acromion
supraspinous fossa
infraspinous fossa
2. three borders:(superior,lateral,medial)
superior border → coracoid process
3. three angles (the superior, inferior and
lateral )
lateral angle → 　 glenoid cavity
inferior angle →the 7th rib

The bones of hand
Include three parts:

the carpal bones,
the metacarpal bones
and phalanges
The carpal bones ( the bones of
the wrist )
The proximal row ： scaphoid, lunate,
triquetral and
pisiform bones
The distal row :trapezium, trapezoid,
capitate and hamate bones
Mnemonics of the carpal bone mnemonics are
numerous and useful for memorising the order and
location carpal bones. They describe the position of
the carpal bones from lateral-to-medial in the
proximal row and then the distal row:
