Name and describe the arrangement of the bones of the arm (between the scapula and the carpal bones, not including the scapula or carpal bones) and the bones of the leg (between the hip bone and the tarsal bones, not including the hip bone or tarsal bones). You should of course use anatomical position as the reference point. And you should be using the appropriate anatomical directional terms.
The hand and foot are structurally similar in many ways; they also show clear differences in structure related to their different functions. Describe the structural features of the foot that are clearly related to its weight-bearing and locomotory functions.

It includes the following features: ● Sternal end: the blunt, medial extremity, which articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. Acromial end: the slightly flattened lateral extremity, which articulates with the acro- mion of the scapula. Scapula: A triangular bone with projections for muscle attachment. It contains many features, which include: Spine: the narrow ridge on the posterior side. Acromion: a flattened, prominent process at the lateral end of the spine. = Coracoid process: a beak-like process superior and medial to the glenoid cavity (corac = crow + -oid = resemblance to).
