- This diagram shows an arm and shoulder on the left and a leg on the right of the page, seen from the front. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.The shoulder is at the top and the hand at the bottom of the page.At the top is the thin collar bone, down from this is the shoulder blade. Attached the top left corner of the shoulder blade is the humerus (upper arm bone). This long bone goes down to the left middle of the page where the elbow can be found. The radius and ulna (lower arm bones) carry on down the page to the hand. The rounded carpal bones and the five longer metacarpal bones make up the palm of the hand. Continuing on from the metacarpal bones are the phalanx bones (finger bones). In the top right of the page is the head of the femur (thigh bone) where it would attach to the pelvis. This long bone goes down to the right middle of the page where the knee can be found. The patella (knee cap) is shown in front of the knee joint. The fibula and tibia (lower leg bones) carry on down the page to the foot. The ankle bones are down from the end of leg bones. The five longer metatarsal bones make up the body of the foot. Continuing on from the metatarsal bones are the phalanges bones (toe bones).
