The Skeletal System • Parts of the skeletal system • Bones (skeleton) • Joints • Cartilages • Ligaments • Divided into two divisions • Axial skeleton • Appendicular skeleton
Bones of the Human Body • The adult skeleton has 206 bones • Two basic types of bone tissue • Compact bone • Homogeneous • Spongy bone • Small needle-like pieces of bone • Many open spaces Figure 5.2b
Functions of Bones • Support of the body • Protection of soft organs • Movement due to attached skeletal muscles • Storage of minerals • Blood cell formation • Storage of fats
Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape – pg 70 SG Figure 5.1
Classification of Bones • Long bones • Typically longer than wide • Have a shaft with heads at both ends • Contain mostly compact bone • Examples: Femur, Humerus
Classification of Bones • Short bones • Generally cube-shape • Contain mostly spongy bone • Examples: Carpals, tarsals
Flat bones Thin and flattened Usually curved Thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum Classification of Bones
Irregular bones Irregular shape Do not fit into other bone classification categories Example: Vertebrae and hip Classification of Bones
Epiphysis Diaphysis Articular cartilage Epiphyseal line Spongy bone Compact bone Medullary cavity Periosteum Gross Anatomy of the typical long bone – pg 72 of SG
Mature bone cells are Osteocytes Components

Bone Markings • Surface features of bones • Sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and ligaments • Passages for nerves and blood vessels • Categories of bone markings • Projections and processes – grow out from the bone surface • Depressions or cavities – indentations
Bone Markings Projections/sites of muscle and ligament attachment Projections/sites that form joints Head Facet Condyle Ramus • Tuberosity • Crest • Trochanter • Line • Tubercle • Epicondyle • Spine • Process
More Bone Markings Cavities Depressions/Openings allow blood vessels and nerves to pass Meatus Fossa Groove Fissure Foramen • Sinus
Table 7.2 pg 198 • Head – rounded articular process at the proximal end of a bone • Condyle – rounded articular process at the distal end of a bone • Epicondyle – a small raised area above a condyle for joint capsule attachment • Foramen – a short passageway through bone for vessels and nerves • Meatus – a long canal like passageway
Fossa – a depression in bone • Sinus – a cavity in bone lined by a mucous membrane • Trochanter – very large projection • Tuberosity – a large rounded projection for muscle attachment • Tubercle – a small rounded projection • Fissure – a slit like opening through bone • Facet – smooth flat articular surface
Crest – prominent ridge or elongated projection • Sulcus – furrow along a bone surface where a blood vessel, nerve or tendon is located • Spine – sharp, slender often pointed projection • Using an Anatomy Atlas, see if you can identify bone surface markings on the skeleton and unarticulated bones at the front of the room
Color Axial Skeleton Appendicular Skeleton With a key Pg 73 SG
The Axial Skeleton • Forms the longitudinal part of the body • Divided into three parts • Skull • Vertebral column • Bony thorax
Text pg. 199 – 204 Color each of the bones of the skull The Skull
The Skull • Two sets of bones • Cranium • Facial bones • Bones are joined by sutures • Only the mandible is attached by a freely movable joint
Paranasal sinuses Text pg. 211 • Paranasal sinuses

Bony thorax Rib cage Text pg. 223
Forms a cage to protect organs
Made up of 3 parts Sternum Ribs Thoracic vertebrae
Pectoral girdle Text pg. 232 The Appendicular Skeleton
The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle • Composed of two bones • Clavicle – collarbone • Scapula – shoulder blade • These bones allow the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement
