  1. Skeletal System Axial Skeleton Chapter 7

  2. Divisions of the Skeletal System • The adult human skeleton consists of 206 named bones. • Infants have more bones because not all bones have fused. • Axial skeleton – 80 bones • Longitudinal axis (center of the body) • Bones arranged along the axis: skull bones, auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, ribs, breastbone, and backbone • Appendicular skeleton – 126 bones • Upper and lower limbs (extremities), girdles (connect limbs to axial skeleton)

  3. Axial Skeleton • Skull • Cranium 8 • Face 14 • Hyoid 1 • Auditory Ossicles 6 • Vertebral Column 26 • Thorax • Sternum 1 • Ribs 24 • Total 80

  4. Appendicular Skeleton • Pectoral (Shoulder) girdles • Clavicle 2 • Scapula 2 • Upper limbs (extremities) • Humerus 2 • Ulna 2 • Radius 2 • Carpals 16 • Metacarpals 10 • Phalanges 28

  5. Appendicular Skeleton • Pelvic (hip) girdle • Hip, pelvic, or coxal bones 2 • Lower limbs (extremities) • Femur 2 • Fibula 2 • Tibia 2 • Patella 2 • Tarsals 14 • Metatarsals 10 • Phalanges 28 • Total 126

  6. Types of Bones • Long Bones • Short Bones • Flat Bones • Irregular Bones • Sesamoid Bones • Sutural

  7. Types of Bones Based on Shape

  8. Bone Surface Markings • Depressions and Openings • Sites allowing the passage of soft tissue (nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons) or formation of joints. • Processes • Projections or outgrowths on bone that form joints or attachment points for connective tissue, such as ligaments and tendons).

  9. Depressions and Openings • Fissure – narrow slit • Foramen – opening (hole) • Fossa – shallow depression (trench) • Sulcus – furrow (groove) • Meatus – tubelike opening (passageway)

  10. Processes • Processes that form joints • Condyle – Large, round protuberance at the end of a bone (knuckle) • Facet – smooth, flat articular surface • Head – rounded articular projection supported on the neck of a bone

  11. Processes • Processes that form attachment points • Crest – prominent ridge or elongated projection • Epicondyle – projection above a condyle • Line – long narrow ridge or border • Spinous process – sharp, slender projection • Trochanter – very large projection • Tubercle – small, rounded projection • Tuberosity – large, rounded projection

  12. Mastoiditis • Inflammation of the mastoid air cells subsequent to a middle ear infection. • The infection may spread to the brain.

  13. Cleft Palate and Cleft Lip • Failure of the palatine processes of the maxillary bone to unite during embryogenesis. • Cleft lip is a split in the upper lip. • Speech and swallowing may be affected. • Children with this may be prone to many middle ear infections.

  14. Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome • TMJ • Dull pain around the ear • Tenderness of the jaw • A clicking or popping noise when opening or closing the mouth • Limited or abnormal opening of the mouth • Headache • Tooth sensitivity

  15. TMJ Treatment • Applying moist heat or ice • Chiropractic • Eating a soft diet • Pain relievers • Muscle retraining • Adjusting or reshaping the teeth • Orthodontic treatment • Surgery

  16. Principle Foramina of the Skull • Carotid • Hypoglossal • Infraorbital • Jugular • Lacerum • Magnum • Mandibular

  17. Principle Foramina of the Skull • Mastoid • Mental • Olfactory • Optic • Ovale • Rotundum • Stylomastoid • Supraorbital

  18. Fontanels • Membrane-filles spaces between the cranial bones • “soft spots” • Allow the skull to change shape as it passes through the birth canal

  19. Fontanels • Anterior fontanel • Between the parietal bones and the frontal bone • Posterior fontanel • Between the parietal bones and the occipital bone • Anterolateral fontanels • Between the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones • Posterolateral fontanels • Between the parietal, occipital, and temporal bones

  20. Medical Terminology • Kyphosis – exaggeration of the thoracic curve • Lordosis – an exaggeration of the lumbar curve or cervical curve • Lumbar spine stenosis – narrowing of the spinal canal • Scoliosis – lateral bending of the vertebral column
