Proximal Long Bones of the Limb

Return to:
Appendicular Main Page BIO 135 Main Page

In order to facilitate comparison between similar bones and to highlight similarities in structure and names of markings, I have put the two bones of the proximal portion of each limb (humerus and femur) together rather than featuring one limb at a time. Both anterior and posterior surfaces are shown. To examine one limb at a time, and how bones connect, review your lab manual and A Brief Atlas of the Human Body.
The markings for which you are responsible are listed in the lab handout. You will also need to be able to distinguish left from right for both of these bones.
