This document provides labeled diagrams of the bones that make up the appendicular skeleton. Over 30 diagrams show the bones of the shoulder girdle (clavicle, scapula), upper limb (humerus, radius, ulna), pelvic girdle (iliac, ischium, pubis bones), and lower limb (femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals). Each bone is labeled with its anatomical features such as tubercles, condyles, and processes. Captions provide the name of the bone and an anatomical orientation such as anterior or posterior view.
