explain the joints of the upper limb with detailed explanation and mnemonics to learn, secondly, explain the landmarks of the upper limb - quadrangular space, upper/lower triangular space, cubital fossa, ulnar tunnel, bicipital aponeurosis, anatomical snuff box, compartments & potential spaces of hand, and axilla. make sure to write their clinicals (if present) respectively, and if there are any distinction-scoring points, do explain them as well. all this for the level of MS1 so make it easy too

That is the full guide. Here is a quick orientation of what is covered and how to use it:
How to Use This Guide
Part 1 (Joints) covers all 8 joint groups in order from proximal to distal: Glenohumeral → AC → SC → Elbow → Wrist → CMC → MCP → IP. Each entry gives you joint type, bones, ligaments, movements, and clinicals.
Part 2 (Landmarks) covers the 10 landmarks/spaces you asked for, structured as: boundaries → contents → clinical significance.
Your Best Mnemonics to Learn First
| Mnemonic | What it remembers |
|---|---|
| SITS | Rotator cuff muscles (Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Subscapularis) |
| 1-2-3 | Branches of axillary artery parts (1, 2, 3 branches per part) |
| TAN | Cubital fossa contents lateral to medial: Tendon → Artery → Nerve |
| QTT | 3 posterior shoulder spaces: Quadrangular (Axillary n.) → Triangular (Scapular circumflex) → Triangular interval (Radial n.) |
| P-H (Pisiform-Hamate) | Ulnar tunnel/Guyon's canal walls |
| S-T | Snuff box floor = Scaphoid + Trapezium |
| DAB/PAD | Dorsal interossei Abduct, Palmar interossei Adduct |
