DESCRIPTION
The Skeletal System
Composed of the 206 bones in the human body!!
Skeletal System
Functions:1. Support – bears the weight of
the body
2. Protection- skull the brain, ribs=lungs
3. Movement – muscles attach
Skeletal System
Functions:4. Storage *minerals such as calcium & phosphorus are stored and released from bone*fat in yellow bone marrow
5. Hemopoiesis – makes blood cells in red bone marrow
Skeletal System
5 Types of bones categorized by shape:
1. Long bones Longer than wide Bear weight Ex. femur
Skeletal System5 Types of bones categorized by shape:
2. Short bones About same lengthas width Bear weight Ex. Carpels of wristand tarsals of ankle
Skeletal System5 Types of bones categorized by shape:
3. Flat bones Thin and usually curved Protect brain and thoracic
organs Provide wide area muscle
attachment Ex. Ribs, skull, shoulder
blades, sternum,pelvis
Skeletal System5 Types of bones categorized by shape:
4. Sesamoid Small and round Ex. Patella of knee
Skeletal System5 Types of bones categorized by shape:
5. Irregular Odd shaped and doesn’t fit
other categories Ex. vertebra
Skeletal System
Parts of the long bone:
Two main parts:
1. Epiphysis *Found on the ends*Spongy/Cancellous bone
Skeletal System
Parts of the long bone:
Two main parts:
2. Diaphysis• Shaft or long part• Is compact bone
Skeletal System
Types of bone tissue:
1. Spongy bone/Cancellous bone contains networks of bony plates
with spaces - trabeculae not as dense a compact bone
Skeletal System
Types of bone tissue:
2. Compact bone dense and hard Shaft of bone
Skeletal System
Other parts of long bone:
Epiphyseal plate or growth plate:Is hyaline tissue where growth
originates in those under 25 yrs
Epiphyseal line – in adults the epiphyseal plate ossifies or hardens to bone tissue
Skeletal System
Other parts of long bone:
Sheaths – cover the bonea. endosteum – inner most; lines the medullary cavityb. periosteum – outer most; which contains blood vessels and nerves
Skeletal System
Medullary cavity – central cavity of long bone where you find yellow or red bone marrow.
Types of Marrow:
1. Yellow bone marrow – stores fat
2. Red bone marrow – produces red and white blood cells
Skeletal system is divided into two major sections:
1. Axial skeleton – • bones of central axis • Includes 80 bones
• Includes: the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage

Skeletal system divided into two major sections:
2. Appendicular skeleton – bones of upper and lower appendages and bones that attach them to the axial skeleton
Upper appendages and girdles
Lower appendages and girdles
The Skeletal System
Appendicular Skeleton includes:
1. Pectoral girdle joins the upper limbs to the axial
skeleton Includes the clavicle (collar bone)
and scapula(shoulder blade)

Bones of Lower Appendage
Appendicular skeleton includes:
Lower appendages include:
4. Patella Knee capActs as a lever to help move the leg
Appendicular skeleton includes:
5. Bones of ankle and foot:
•7 tarsus (ankle)•5 metatarsus (foot)•5 digits (foot) each with 3 phalanges – proximal, middle and distal phalanges except the big toe that has only 2 phalanges only proximal and distal
Ankle and foot:
TarsusTarsals

Appendicular skeleton includes:
Upper appendage includes:1. Humerus – upper bone that
attaches limb to pectoral girdle
2. Radius – small bone of lower arm that attaches to the thumbs
3. Ulna – small bone that attaches to the little finger and the humerus
Bones of upper appendage
Humerus
Appendicular skeleton includes:
Upper appendage includes:4. Bones of wrist and hand• 8 carpals
• 4 distal carpals• 4 proximal carpals• Articulation of carpals allows
you to move the wrist
5 Bones of the wrist and hand
Carpels
Appendicular skeleton includes:
Upper appendage includes:4. Bones of wrist and hand• 8 carpals
• Metacarpals – 5 long bones of the hand numbered I-V from the medial to lateral
(thumb to little finger)• Digits – made of phalanges
• Three phalanges/finger except thumb has only 2
• Proximal, middle, distal

Terminology:
Proximal – means nearest the body
Distal – means distant (away) from the body

The Skeletal System
Differences between skeleton of child and adult:More bones in youth and fuse together as adult
Epiphyseal plate becomes lineRed bone marrow to yellowArticular cartilage thickens
The Skull or Cranium
The skull protects the brain and entrances to respiratory and digestive systems.
The skull has 28 bones.

A few more things:
Foramen – a hole
Mental foramen – is in the mandible and where the mental nerve passes through.
Sinus – a hollowed out space in the bone.
Nasal cavity – hollowed out, fluid filled regions covered with a thin mucous membrane divided by the vomer and ethmoid bone (septum).
Paranasal sinuses – air-filled spaces connected to the nasal cavities.
Sinuses reduce the weight of the skull, warm air entering body, and affect sound of the voice.
Orbits = eye sockets, house and protect the eye.

Vertebral Column
Functions:•Protects the spinal cord•Supports the head and neck•Bears body weight
Vertebral Column
It is “S” shaped and acts as a spring or shock absorber to absorb the impact when we walk.
Vertebral Column
It is composed of a series of bones called vertebrae
Vertebral Column
It is marvelously designed to provide strength yet flexibility.
The way the vertebrae fit together the column
is strong yet one can bend and rotatethe back.
Vertebral Column
It is marvelously designed to provide strength yet flexibility.
The way the vertebrae fit together or interlock gives it strength
flexibility so can bend and rotate.
Vertebral Column
It is composed of 5 sections:7 cervical vertebrae12 thoracic vertebrae5 lumbar vertebraeSacrum – 5 fused vertebraeCoccyx – 3 fused vertebrae

Superior and inferior articular processes – interlock the vertebrae
Intervertebral Disc - fibrous cartilage found between the vertebrae distributing pressure evenly across the disc.
Herniated Disc - when a disc pushes outside its normal area. Often pinching the nerves causing pain and numbness.
Thoracic Cage
Commonly called the rib cage
Protects the heart, lungs, and other organs of the thoracic cavity
Encloses the thoracic cavity
