The Skeleton From the Greek, meaning “dried up” 20% of body mass Bones, Joints, Cartilage, Joints, & Ligaments
Axial skeleton Skull Vertebral Column Thorax Cranial bones Facial bones Vertebral Column Thorax
Cranial bones Frontal Parietal (2) Occipital Temporal (2) Sphenoid Ethmoid
Frontal Frontal sinus supra-orbital ridge (margin) supra-orbital foramen (or notch) frontal suture (usually only present in fetal skull) coronal suture (between frontal and anterior border of parietals)
Parietal bones sagittal suture lambdoid suture squamous suture
Occipital occipital condyles foramen magnum nuchal lines
Temporal squamous portion external acoustic (auditory) meatus mastoid process styloid process petrous portion zygomatic process
Sphenoid greater and lesser wings pterygoid processes sella turcica sinuses
Ethmoid perpendicular plate crista galli cribriform (horizontal) plate superior and middle concha sinuses
Facial bones Unpaired bones Paired bones Mandible Maxillae Vomer Zygomatic Nasals Lacrimals Palatines Inferior conchae
nasal bones lacrimal bones
Zygomatic bones orbital process temporal process maxillary process
Maxilla & Palatine Bones sinus alveolar ridge (margin) infra-orbital foramen palatine processes
Mandible ramus condyle angle body Coronoid process Alveolar ridge
Facial Bones (continued) Vomer Inferior nasal conchae Sinuses
Hyoid bone
Ribs True Ribs – First 7 pairs (connect to sternum directly) False Ribs – last 5 pairs Floating ribs – the last two false ribs are called floating ribs because they don’t attach in the front at all
Sternum suprasternal (jugular) notch Manubrium sternal angle body xiphoid process clavicular notch
Vertebrae: Lamina Pedicles Centrum spinous process superior and inferior articulating processes vertebral foramen intervertebral foramen
Vertebrae: Continued Cervical Vertebrae (7) Thoracic (12) bifid spinous process transverse foramina C1 = atlas C2 = axis with odontoid process Thoracic (12) downward sharp spinous process articulating facets on centrum and transverse processes for ribs
