  Superior angle, lateral angle, inferior angle
• What does the term "coracoid process" mean?

  Crow's beak
• What does the term "fossa" refer to in bone terminology?

  A shallow depression
• What is the supraspinous fossa located above?

  The spine of the scapula
• What is the infraspinous fossa located below?

  The spine of the scapula
• What is the subscapular fossa?

  A shallow depression below the scapula
• What is the glenoid fossa or cavity?

  A shallow depression for articulation with the head of the humerus
• What does the term "glenoid" refer to in the context of the scapula?

  It refers to the shallow depression for the shoulder joint
• What is the supraglenoid tubercle?

  A bump above the glenoid process
• What is the infraglenoid tubercle?

  A bump below the glenoid fossa
• What is the head of the humerus?

  The spherical portion forming the shoulder joint
• What is the anatomical neck of the humerus?

  The natural constricted portion below the head of the humerus
• What is the surgical neck of the humerus known for?

  It is the most common site where fractures occur
• What are the two types of tubercles on the humerus?

  Lesser tubercle and greater tubercle
• What is the intertubercular sulcus?

  The groove between the greater and lesser tubercles
• How can you differentiate between the greater and lesser tubercle?

  The greater tubercle is larger and located more laterally
• What is the deltoid tuberosity?

  A perforated rocky type of bump on the humerus
• What is the difference between epicondyles and condyles?

  Epicondyles are marks on the condyle
• Where does the deltoid muscle insert on the humerus?

  At the deltoid tuberosity
• What does the term "condyle" refer to?

  A knob-like structure on a bone
• How can you differentiate between the medial and lateral epicondyle?

  The medial epicondyle is larger than the lateral epicondyle
• What is the lateral supracondylar ridge?

  A ridge above the lateral epicondyle
• What are the key terms related to the bones of the upper limb discussed in the screencast?

  • Clavicle
  • Scapula
  • Humerus
  • Tubercle
  • Fossa
  • Epicondyle
  • Condyle
  • Process
• What does the term "condyle" refer to in anatomy?

  A condyle refers to a knob-like structure, similar to a doorknob.
• What does the prefix "epi" in "epicondyle" mean?

  "Epi" means upon or on.
• How can you differentiate between the medial and lateral epicondyles?

  The medial epicondyle is larger and the head of the humerus faces medially.
• What is the function of the groove for the ulnar nerve?

  The groove allows the ulnar nerve to course around the medial epicondyle.
• What is the radial fossa and where is it located?

  The radial fossa is a shallow depression on the lateral condyle for the head of the radius.
