Chapter 19 Overview of the Skeleton
The skeletal system includes • Bones of the skeleton • Cartilages, ligaments and other connective tissues that stabilize and connect
Functions of the skeletal system • Support • Storage of minerals and lipids • Blood cell production • Protection • Leverage
Subdivisions of the skeleton • Axial • Lies around the body’s center of gravity • Appendicular • Limbs
Bone structure = two types of bone • Compact bone (dense) • Spongy bone (cancellous) • trabecula
Classification of bones • By the shape • Long • Flat • Short • Irregular • Sesamoid • Sutural
Bone markings • Projection that are sites of muscle and ligament attachment: • Tubercle (tubercle of the rib) • Tuberosity (tibialtuberosity) • Trochanter (femur) • Epicondyle (medial epicondyle-femur) • Line (line aspera-femur) • Crest (pubic crest) • Process (spinous process) • Spine (ischial spine)
Bone markings • Projections that help to form joints: • Head (femur) • Facet (costal facet) • Condyle (femur) • Ramus (mandible)
Bone markings • Cavities: • Sinus (maxillary)
Bone markings • Depressions and openings for blood vessels and nerves to pass: • Foramen (ovale) • Meatus (acoustic meatus) • Fissure (orbital) • Fossa (posterior cranial fossa)
A typical long bone includes • Diaphysis • Periosteum • Perforating fibers (Sharpey’s) • Endosteum • Epiphyses • Epiphysial plate • Epiphysial line
A typical long bone includes • Articular cartilage • Marrow cavity • Filled with red or yellow marrow
Compact bone • Basic unit of compact bone is an osteon • Osteocytes • Lacunae • Perforating canals (Volkmann’s) • Central canal
Compact bone • Canaliculi • Lamella • Circumferential • Interstitial • Concentric
Cartilages of the skeleton • Articular cartilages • Cover movable joints • Costal cartilages • Connects ribs to sternum • Laryngeal cartilage • Nasal cartilage • Tracheal and bronchial cartilages • Intervertebral discs
Cartilages of the skeleton • Classification of cartilages • Hyaline • Elastic • Pina, Epiglotis • Fibrocartilage • Pubis, intervertebral discs, meniscus
