Skeletal organization • Axial Skeleton • Skull • Hyoid bone • Vertebral column • Thorax • Appendicular Skeleton • Pectoral girdle • Upper limbs • Pelvic girdle • Lower limbs
Axial Skeleton • Longitudinal axis of body • 80 bones • Strong • restricted movement
Functions of Axial Skeleton • Support and protect organs • Attach to muscles that support head, neck, and trunk • Attach to breathing muscles • Attach to muscles of appendicular skeleton
Skull • 8 cranial bones • 14 facial bones • Bones associated with skull • 6 auditory • Hyoid bone • Vertebral Column • 24 vertebrae • Sacrum • Coccyx (tail bone) • Thoracic Cage • 24 ribs • Sternum
The skull • 22 bones of the skull • 8 cranial bones • Encloses and protects the brain • Provide attachment for muscles • Air-filled sinuses to reduce weight • 14 facial bones • 7 Associated Bones • Infantile Skull • Incompletely developed • Fontanels: soft spots that aid for birth
The Skull Bones: CRANIUM • 8 Cranial bones • Occipital • Foramen magnum • Parietal • 2- Right and Left • Frontal • Temporal • 2-Right and left • Mastoid Process • Sphenoid • Ethmoid
The Skull Bones: SUTURES OF THE CRANIUM • 8 Cranial bones • Coronal Suture • Mid-Sagittal Suture • Lambdoidal Suture • Squamous Suture
The Skull Bones: FACIAL • 14 Facial bones • 2 each for the following (Rt/Lt): • Maxilla • Palatine • Nasal • Inferior Nasal Concha • Zygomatic • Lacrimal • 1 of the following: • Mandible • Vomer
The Skull Bones: ASSOCIATED BONES • 7 Associated bones • 6 Auditory ossicles • Found within temporal bone • External Auditory Canal • Malleus (hammer) • Incus (anvil) • Stapes (stirrup) • 1 Hyoid bone
The vertebral column • Stretches from skull to pelvis • Composed of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs • Cervical (C1-C7) • Smallest of all • Comprise the neck • Atlas • Axis • Thoracic (T1-T12) • Articulate with the ribs • Lumbar (L1-L5) • Largest of all • Support the weight of the body • Sacrum (5 fused) • Coccyx
Vertebrae Components Scoliosis Kyphotic Lordosis
Thoracic cage • Ribs • 12 total ribs • 7 true rubs • Directly articulate with the sternum • 5 false ribs • Do not articulate with the sternum • 2 are floating
Function of Thoracic Cavity • Protection of heart, lungs, and others • Attachment of muscles for respiration, vertebral column, pectoral girdle, and upper limbs
Thoracic cage • Sternum • Anterior midline of thoracic cage • 3 parts • Manubrium • Body • Xiphoid process
Sternum Manubrium Articulates with collar Bone and first rib Attaches to ribs 2-7 Attaches to diaphragm and an abdominal muscle
Angle Tubercle Neck Head (Vertebral end) Tubercular Body Sternal End (attaches to Costal Cartilage)
