  1. Anatomy of Skeletal Elements

  2. The Musculoskeletal system • 206 bones • grouped into the axial and appendicular skeletons • 650 muscles • approximately 40% of your body weight • also divided into an axial and an appendicular division

  3. Classification of Bones • 6 types - based on anatomical classification • Long bones = greater length than width • Short bones = cube-shaped, spongy bone except at surface • Flat bones = two parallel plates of compact bone sandwiching spongy bone layer

  4. Irregular bones = cannot be grouped • Sesamoid bones = develop in tendons where there is considerable friction, tension and stress • Sutural bones = located within joints between cranial bones

  5. Bone Markings (surface features) • Used to identify specific elevations, depressions, and openings of bones • Bone markings provide distinct and characteristic landmarks for orientation and identification of bones and associated structures.

  6. Bony Processes • Depressions and openings • Fissure – narrow slit • Foramen – hole for nerves, blood vessels • Fossa – cuplike depression • Sulcus – furrow on a bone surface, contains a nerve or blood vessel • Meatus – tubelike opening • Processes – projection or outgrowth on bone for attachment • Condyle – smoothened process at end of bone, forms a joint • Facet – smooth flat surface, forms a joint • Head – rounded condyle on a neck, forms a joint • Crest – prominent ridge or projection, for attachment of connective tissues • Epicondyle – projection above a condyle, for attachment of connective tissues • Line – long, narrow ridge (less prominent than a crest), for attachment of connective tissues • Spinous process – sharp, slender projection, for attachment of connective tissues • Trochanter – process of the femur, for attachment of connective tissues • Tubercle – process of the humerus, for attachment of connective tissues • Tuberosity – roughening on a bone surface, for attachment of connective tissues

  7. THE SKELETAL SYSTEM: AXIAL DIVISION Part A

  8. Skeletal system includes • Axial division • Skull and associated bones • Auditory ossicles • Hyoid bones • Vertebral column • Thoracic cage • Ribs sternum • Appendicular division • -Pectoral girdle • -Pelvic girdle

  9. The Axial Skeleton • Axial division • Skull and associated bones • Auditory ossicles • Hyoid bones • Vertebral column • Thoracic cage • Ribs sternum

  10. The Skull and Associated Bones

  11. The Adult Skull • skull = 22 bones • cranium = 8 bones: frontals, occipital, temporals, parietals, sphenoid and ethmoid • facial bones = 14 bones: nasals, maxillae, zygomatics, mandible, lacrimals, palatines, • inferior nasal conchae, vomer • skull forms a larger cranial cavity • -also forms the nasal cavity, the orbits, paranasal sinuses • mandible and auditory ossicles are the only movable skull bones • skull contains many holes for the passage of nerves and vessels = foramen/foramina • cranial bones also: attach to membranes called meninges • -stabilize positions of the brain, blood vessels • -outer surface provides large areas for muscle attachment that • move the head or provide facial expressions

  12. black eyes: superior to the supraorbital ridge is a sharp ridge -a blow will fracture the bone and result in bleeding & inflammation cleft lip and palate: palatine processes usually unite at embryonic weeks 10-12 -failure results in a hole = cleft palate -the palatine bones themselves may fail to fuse -a split in the upper lip may also result = cleft lip -complications: speech, swallowing, ear infections -> hearing loss -closure of cleft lip - few weeks after birth -closure of cleft palate - 12 to 18 months TMJ: associated with the temperomandibular joint -dull pain around ear, tenderness of jaw, difficulty chewing, headache -results from grinding of teeth and clenching of jaws -no permanent treatments deviated nasal septum: nasal septum divides the nasal cavity into right and left halves -three components: vomer, septal cartilage & perpendicular plate of the ethmoid -deviation results in a later deflection of the septum -severe deviation may affect breathin

  13. Sutures • Immovable joints • Form boundaries between skull bones • Four main sutures • Coronal • Sagittal • Lambdoid • Squamous • PLUS lots of smaller sutures • e.g Frontonasal • e.g. Temperozygomatic

  14. Skull: Posterior View • Occipital bone • Part of the base of the skull • Surrounds the foramen magnum • Forms part of the jugular foramen Mastoid notch

  15. Parietal bones • -Part of the superior and lateral surfaces of the cranium

  21. Skull: Interior View Figure 6.4 Sectional Anatomy of the Skull, Part I Tuberculum sellae Sella Turcica Cerebral surface of Greater wing of sphenoid Hypophyseal fossa Dorsum sella Lesser wing of sphenoid Foramen Rotundum

  22. Sphenoid bone • Contributes to floor of cranium • Bridges cranial and facial bones • Optic canal allows passage of optic nerve • Pterygoid processes sites of muscle attachment

  23. Ethmoid Bone • Irregularly shaped bone • Forms part of orbital wall • Forms roof of nasal cavity • Cribriform plate • Perforations for olfactory nerve • Perpendicular plate • Nasal septum

  24. Cranial Fossae

  25. Cranial Fossae • Depressions in cranial floor • Anterior cranial fossa • Frontal bone, ethmoid, lesser wings of sphenoid • Middle cranial fossa • Sphenoid, temporal bones, parietal bones • Posterior cranial fossa • Occipital bone, temporal bones, parietal bones

  26. Bones of the Face • Maxillae • Paired bone • Largest facial bones • Form upper jaw

  27. Mandible • Entire lower jaw • Articulates with temporal bone • Temporomandibular joint

  28. Nasal bones • Paired bones • Articulate with frontal bone • Extend to superior border of external nares • Vomer • Forms inferior portion of nasal septum • Articulates with maxillae and palatines • Inferior nasal concha • Located on each side of nasal septum • Increase epithelial surface • Create turbulence in inspired air • Zygomatic bone • Temporal process articulates with zygomatic process of temporal bone • Forms zygomatic arch • Lacrimal bones • Smallest bones in skull • Forms nasolacrimal groove leading to nasolacrimal canal • Delivers tears to nasal cavity

  30. The Nasal Complex • Bones and cartilage that enclose the nasal cavity • Paranasal sinuses • Hollow airways • Frontal bones, sphenoid, ethmoid and maxillae

  31. Skull: Sagittal View

  32. The Paranasal Sinuses

  33. The Hyoid Bone • Suspended by stylohyoid ligaments • Consists of a body, greater horns and lesser horns • Base for muscles of the tongue and larynx

  34. The Skulls of Infants, Children and Adults

  35. Fontanels • Fibrous connections • Permit infant skulls to pass through birth canal • Permit the skulls of infants and children to continue growth • The flat bones in the infant skull are separated by fontanels, which allow for cranial expansion and the distortion of the skull during birth.

  36. Adult Vertebral Column • strong, flexible rod • average male = 71 cm (28 inches) • average female – 61 cm (24 inches) • capable of moving • anteriorly • posteriorly • laterally • also rotation • supports the head • encloses and protects the spinal cord • allows for the exit of 31 pairs of spinal nerves – through intervertebral foramina

  37. Adult Vertebral Column • 26 vertebrae • 24 individual vertebrae • Sacrum – 5 fused vertebrae • Coccyx – 4 fused vertebrae • Seven cervical vertebrae • Twelve thoracic vertebrae • Five lumbar vertebrae

  38. Adult Vertebral Column • vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs • discs of fibrocartilage made up of an outer ring and a softer inner region • found between C1 and C2 and all the way down to between L5 and the sacrum • form the joints of the vertebral column • absorb shock – flatten, broaden and bulge outward • weakening in the outer ring can allow the herniation of the inner material

  39. Spinal Curvature • Four curvatures: increase the strength of the column • Thoracic (primary) – forms fetally and retain the curve of the fetus • Sacral (primary) – forms fetally and retain the curve of the fetus • Cervical (secondary) – forms when the baby holds its head erect • Lumbar (secondary) – forms upon walking

  40. Every vertebrae has the following: • 1. body – weight bearing part of the vertebra • separated by the discs • 2. vertebral arch – surrounds the spinal cord • surrounds a hole called a vertebral foramen • 3. processes – seven of them • 1. Spinous (1) – muscle attachment • 2. Transverse (2) – muscle attachment • 3. Superior articular (2) – forms joint with upper vertebra • 4. Inferior articular (2) – forms joint with lower vertebra Cervical Vertebra

  41. Thoracic Vertebra Lumbar

  42. Fused Vertebrae: The sacrum & coccyx • Sacrum - Union of 5 vertebrae (S1 - S5) – completely fused by age 30 • median sacral crest = spinous processes • sacral ala = fused transverse processes • sacral canal ends at sacral hiatus • Coccyx = Union of 4 vertebrae (Co1 - Co4) – completely fused by age 30

  43. Sternum & Rib Cage • sternum is comprised of three portions: • manubrium • body • xiphoid process • 12 pairs of ribs • -three kinds of ribs: • 1. True – separate & direct connection to the sternum via costal cartilage • 2. False – no direct connection to the sternum – joined via a composite piece of costal cartilage • 3. Floating – no connection to the sternum

  44. Sternum & Rib Cage • several muscles and muscle groups either originate from the sternum and/or ribcage (or costal cartilages) or insert onto these structures • sternum: • sternocleidomastoid • sternohyoid & sternothryoid – depresses hyoid bone and larynx • ribcage: • intercostals – external and internal • serratus anterior & posterior • numerous muscles of the vertebral column • pectoralis major & minor • 4 muscles of the abdominal wall

  45. THE SKELETAL SYSTEM: APPENDICULAR DIVISION Part A

  46. Appendicular Skeleton • Bones of upper and lower limbs • Pectoral and pelvic girdles • Connect limbs to trunk

  47. Shoulder Girdle • Includes • Scapula (shoulder blade) • Clavicle (collarbone) • Squares shoulders • Helps move the upper limb • Provides a base for muscle attachment

  48. Clavicle • S-shaped bone • Connects manubrium of sternum to the acromion process of scapula • Only direct connection between pectoral girdle and axial skeleton
