Chapter 20 The Axial Skeleton
Skeletal system includes both: • Axial skeleton • Skull • Vertebral column • Thoracic cage • Appendicular skeleton • Pectoral and pelvic girdles • Upper and lower limbs
The cranium • Cranial vault or calvaria • Superior, lateral, and posterior walls of the skull • Cranial floor or base • Anterior fossa • Middle fossa • Posterior fossa
The skull • Consists of the cranium and the bones ofthe face • Sutures • Lambdoid-between occipital and parietal bones • Coronal-between parietal and frontal bones • Sagittal-between parietal bones • Squamous-between parietal and temporal bones
Cranial Bones • one occipital bone • foramen magnum • two parietal bones • one frontal bone • frontal sinuses • glabella • two temporal bones • auditory ossicles • one sphenoid • one ethmoid
Occipital and Parietal Bones • Occipital bone • Foramen magnum • Occipital condyle • External occipital protuberance • Parietal bone • Frontal bone • Supraorbital foramen • Glabella
Temporal bone • Squamous suture • Zygomatic process • Zygomatic arch • Mandibularfossa • External auditory meatus • Styloid process
Temporal bone is divided in regions • Mastoid process • Mastoiditis • Meningitis • Stylomastoid foramen • Passage for cranial nerve VII • Internal acustic meatus • Passage for cranial nerves VII and VIII
Sphenoid bone • Greater wings • Sellaturcica • For the pituitary gland
Ethmoid bone • Crista galli • Attachment of the dura mater • Cribiform plate • Passage of olfactory nerves
Ethmoid bone • Perpendicular plate • Forms the superior part of the nasal septum • Superior and middle nasal conchae (turbinates) • Covered by mucosa • Warms and humidifies the air
Facial bones • Maxillary bones • Mandible • Palatine bones • Nasal bones • Vomer • Inferior nasal conchae • Zygomatic bones • Lacrimal bones
Maxillae • Alveolar margim • Palatine process- anterior hard palate • Incisive fossa- passage for nerves and blood vessels
Vomer, Zygomatic and Lacrimal bones • Zygomaticbone • articulates with zygomatic process of temporal bone forming the zygomaticarch
Mandible • Body- horizontal portion • Ramus-vertical portion • Mandibular condyle- articulates with temporal bone • Coronoid process • Angle • Alveolar margin- with sockets for the teeth • Mandibular foramen – site of Novocain injection
Cranial Foramens to identify • External view: • Supraorbitalforamen-for blood vessels and nerves • Infraorbital foramen-blood vessels and nerves • Mental foramen-blood vessels and nerves • Stylomastoidforamen- nerve VII • Carotid canal-for carotid artery • External auditorymeatus-leads to eardrum • Incisivefossa-for blood vessels and nerves
Cranial Foramens to identify • Internal view • Optic canal-for optic nerve • Superior and inferior orbital fissure • “ROS” • Rotundum- for a branch of V • Ovale-for a branch of V • Spinosum-for middle meningeal artery
Cranial Foramens to identify • Foramen lacerum-internal carotid • Jugularforamen-for jugular vein; IX, X,XI cranial nerves • Internal acusticmeatus-for VII,VIII • Hypoglossal canal-for XII • Foramen magnum-for spinal cord
Vertebral column • 7 cervical vertebrae • 12 thoracic vertebrae • 5 lumbar vertebrae • 5 sacrum fused vetebrae • 3-5 fused coccyx vertebrae
Vertebral column • Intervertebral discs- pads of fibrocartilage between the vertebrae • Nucleus pulposus- central soft region • Annulus fibrosus- outer ring. Collagen fibers • Herniated disc- protusionof the nucleus pulposus
Spinal curvatures Figure 7.16
Spinal curvatures • Four spinal curves- posterior view • Primary curvatures – present at birth • Thoracic - convex • Sacral- convex • Secondary curvatures – develops after birth • Cervical- concave • Lumbar- concave
Structure of a typical vertebra • Body- rounded portion. Anterior part • Vertebral Foramen-for the spinal cord • Transverse process • Spinous process-single and posterior • Intervertebral foramina-it is seen when 2 vertebras are put together. Passage of the spinal nerves
Cervical vertebra • Transverse foraminas- only present in cervical vertebrae • Atlas or C1 • No body • Join with the head and provides for range of motion (when you nod yes)
Cervical vertebra • Axis or C2 • Odontoid process or dens-allows rotation of the head (when you nod no)
Thoracic vertebrae • Spinous process-long and downward • Rib facet – for articulation with 1 rib
Lumbar vertebrae • Massive body • Short and thick and more horizontal spinous processes • No rib facets • No transverse foramem • Superior and inferior articular processes
Sacrum • Medial sacral crest-remnant of the spinous processes • Alae- formed by fusion of the transverse processes. It articulates with the hip bones • Sacral foramina- passage for blood vessels and nerves • Sacral canal- continuation of the verterbral canal
Sacrum and coccyx • Sacral hiatus-inferior opening of the sacral canal • Sacral promontory- rim on the anterior and superior part of the sacrum • Coccyx • Attached to the sacrum by ligaments
The bony thorax • Sternum • Manubrium-articulates with the clavicle • Body • Xiphoid process-inferior end. Made of hyaline cartilage in children and is ossified in adults • Jugular notch • Sternal angle-between the body and the manubrium
The ribs • Tubercle – is inferior • Costal groove –depression along the inferior side • Sternal end-articulates with sternum
Types of ribs • True • Ribs 1-7 • Attached to the sternum through their own cartilage
Types of ribs • False • 8-12 • 8-10 are vertebrochondral ribs • Attaches to the sternum indireclty through the cartilage of the C7 • 11-12 are floating ribs • No attachment to the sternum
