Skeleton: Overview • The skeletal system consists of the bones and joints along with the cartilage and ligaments that occur at the joints. • Bones: Hard Tissue, mostly calcium, provides support and makes Red Blood Cells • Ligaments: Strong, white bands of tissue that connect two bones together at a joint
Skeleton: Overview • Cartilage: Hard tissue that prevents bones from grinding against each other. • Joints: Location of where two or more bones meet. • Tendon: Connects muscle to bone.
1. Functions of the Skeleton • The skeleton supports the body. • The skeleton protects soft body parts. • The skeleton produces blood cells. • The skeleton stores minerals and fats. • The skeleton (along with the muscles) permits flexible body movements.
2. Classification of bones • Bones are classified according to their shape. • Long (Longer then they are wide) • Short (Cube shapes, about equal lengths and widths) • Flat (Platelike and have a broad suface) • Irregular (Varied shapes with many connections) • Round (Circular shape)
2. Classification of bones • Long Bones- Longer then they are wide) • Longest bones providing support for the body giving it the rigidity (hardness) necessary to stand and move.
2. Classification of bones • Short Bones- (Cube shapted; lengths and widths are about equal. • Found in the joints and serve as hinges. They help cushion shock and protect long bones.
2. Classification of bones • Flat Bones(Platelike and have broad surfaces) EX: Skull
2. Classification of bones • Irregular Bones- (Varied shapes with many places for connections with other bones)
3. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Periosteum • Outer layer • Cushions the hard portion of the bone • Repair of broken bones
3. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Compact Bone • Beneath periosteum • Layer of hard mineral matter • Calcium • Gives bones strength
3. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Spongy Bone • Inside hard outer layer • Fills ends of bones • Lines hollow portions
3. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Red marrow • Inside cavities of spongy bone • Formation of red blood cells
3. Anatomy of a Long Bone • Yellow marrow • Located inside hollow portion • Fat storage cells • Energy storage
4. Axial and Appendicular Skeleton • The skeleton is divided into the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton
Important Terms Related to the Skeleton Skeletons can be divided into two sections, which include • Axial Skeleton. b. Appendicular skeleton
4. Axial and Skeleton • The axial skeleton lies in the midline of the body and contains the bones of the skull, the vertebral column, and the thoracic cage. (Colored Orange)
Cervical Vertebrae-The section in the neck from the skull to the first rib.
Thoracic-extends along the rib cage. Each of these has a rib attached to each side.
Lumbar-The area of the spinal column from the last rib to the pelvis. Also referred to as the loin.
Coccygeal- The vertebrae that continue from the pelvis to the end of the tail.
4. Appendicular Skeleton • Contains the bones of the fore and rear limbs.
5. Joints • Bones are joined together at joints. In most instances bones can articulate at the joints. • Classified by the way they move.
5. Joints • Joints serve as hinges for the skeletal system.
5. Joints • There are 4 types of joints we will discuss: • Hinge • Knee • Ball and Socket • Hip • Gliding • Vertebrae • Fixed ( Cartliaginous) • Skull
Formation of Bones • Bone is comprised of: • 26% minerals (mostly calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate) • 50% is water • 4% is fat • 20% is protein • Bone requires adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in the ration.
