  • Metacarpal bones
  • Phalangeal bones
• Supraglenoid tubercle


  Process near the cranial aspect of the glenoid cavity for the attachment of biceps brachii muscle
• Humerus articulates proximally with the scapula forming the shoulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna forming the elbow joint
• Humerus is the bone of the arm or brachium
• Greater tubercle (lateral or major tubercle)


  Large process craniolateral to the head of the humerus
• Intertubercular groove (bicipital groove)


  Sulcus between the greater and lesser tubercle through which the tendon of biceps brachii runs
• Infraspinous fossa


  Area caudal to the scapular spine for the attachment of the infraspinatus muscle
• Humeral condyle


  The entire distal end of the humerus
• Radial fossa


  Cranial excavation at the distal end of the humerus
• Radial tuberosity


  Lies distal to the neck on the medial border of the bone
• Trochlea of the radius

  Distal extremity of the radius
• Medial epicondyle (flexor epicondyle)

  Medial side of the humeral condyle
• Head of the radius

  Proximal part articulating with the capitulum of the humerus
• Interosseous space
• Olecranon of the ulna


  Proximal end acting as a lever for the attachment of extensor muscles of the forearm
• Anconeal process of the ulna


  Beak-like projection at the proximal end of the trochlear notch
• Coracoid process


  Small process on the medial side of the supraglenoid tubercle
• Subscapular fossa

  Most of the medial surface of the scapula
• Scapular notch


  Concavity at the cranial border of the scapula
• Scapular spine


  Long projection dividing the scapula’s lateral surface into two fossae
• Clavicle is present in cats and should not be mistaken for a bone in the esophagus on lateral radiograph
• Clavicle is known as the "collar bone"
• Lesser tubercle (medial or minor tubercle)


  Process at the medial side of the head of the humerus
• Humerus is the largest bone in the thoracic limb
• Deltoid tuberosity


  Large tuberosity at the lateral side of the humerus
• Supraspinous fossa


  Area cranial to the scapular spine for the attachment of the supraspinatus muscle
• Lateral epicondyle (extensor epicondyle)


  Lateral side of the humeral condyle
• Head of the humerus

  Round process articulating the glenoid cavity of the scapula
• Olecranon fossa


  Caudal excavation at the distal end of the humerus
• Ulna


  Articulates with the humerus and the radius, with the olecranon acting as a lever for the attachment of extensor muscles of the forearm
• Fovea capitis


  Articulates with the capitulum of the humerus
• Radius

  Main weight-bearing bone articulating with the humerus and the ulna, and with the carpal bones distally forming the anterobrachiocarpal joint
• Body of the radius

  Compressed and has a ligamentous attachment to the ulna
• Trochlear notch (semilunar notch) of the ulna

  Crescent-shaped concavity at the proximal end of the ulna
• Lateral and Medial coronoid process of the ulna

  Large distal end on the trochlear notch
• Interomedioradial carpal bone is located at the medial side of the proximal row and is the largest carpal bone
