Skeletal System Day 1
2
Interesting facts Adults have 206 bones Babies born with more than 300 Did you know that our bones are 6 times stronger than steel? Did you know that the size of the smallest bone is about the size of a grain of rice? Did you know that of the 206 bones in our body, 52 of the bones make up our feet? Did you know that the largest bone is the hip bone? Did you know that the longest bone is the femur? Did you know that the smallest bone is the sturrup? Did you know that when dead, cartalige rots faster than bone?
3
Structure and Function The skeletal system works directly with the muscular system to perform the following functions: Provide shape and support Protect internal organs Store minerals and fat Produce blood cells and platelets Assist in movement
4
Common Skeletal Bones
5
Bones Bone tissue contains Inorganic salts (calcium phosphate) Water Organic material (bone cells, blood vessels, nerves, and collagen) Bone cells must continually receive food and oxygen. Bone cells die and are replaced by new ones. Bones continue to grow for the first 18 to 20 years of life. 99% calcium found in bones & teeth
6
Bones Bones may have cartilage. Bones are attached to other bones by ligaments. Bones are joined to muscles by tendons.
7
Types of Bones Two major groups of bones Axial skeleton Includes 80 bones of the head and trunk Appendicular skeleton Includes 126 bones of the pelvis, shoulders, arms, and legs
8
Bones of the Body
9
Bones by Shape
10
Skull Includes bones of the Cranium Eight bones Face 13 bones Ear The mandible is the only movable bone of the skull.
11
Teeth Adults have 32 teeth. Each tooth has parts. The crown is the white section above the gum. The root is below the gum. Enamel, the hardest substance in the body, covers the crown. Cementum is the hard, bonelike substance covering the root. Dentin is located between the enamel and the pulp. The pulp is the soft living portion of the tooth, containing the nerves and blood vessels.

14
Types of Teeth Four major types of teeth (each has a different shape and function): Incisor Cuspid Bicuspid Molar

Teeth Types
16
Thorax Thorax includes Ribs Seven pairs of true ribs, five pairs of false ribs, and two pairs of floating ribs Sternum Vertebral bones Protect the lungs and heart

Vertebral Column Five parts (total of 26 vertebrae) Cervical vertebrae (7 vertebrae) Thoracic vertebrae (12 vertebrae) Lumbar vertebrae (5 vertebrae) Sacrum Coccyx Curvature gives it strength and flexibility. Cartilage between vertebrae cushions bones and allows movement.

21
Long Bones of the Extremities Long bones of the arms and legs contain marrow, which produces blood cells. Long bones grow and lengthen from a layer of cartilage (epiphyseal plate). Shaft of the long bone (diaphysis) contains fatty tissue and yellow marrow. Fatty tissue provides stored energy.
22
Long Bones of the Extremities End of the long bone contains red marrow that produces red blood cells. Red marrow destroys old red blood cells, forms white blood cells, and produces platelets. Periosteum (membrane) Covers the bone Contains osteoblasts Medullary cavity Contains osteoclasts that enlarge the diameter of the cavity by removing bone cells.
23
Anatomy of a Long Bone
24
Bone Markings Four major types of bone markings Projections bulge from a bone and attach to muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Openings are holes or spaces in bones. Depressions include openings and cavities in bone. Ridges are lines on a bone surface.

Bone Markings
26
Joints Articulation Two or more bones join together at a joint. Joints are named by the bones that are joined.
27
Types of Joints Three types of joints Immovable (synarthrosis) Example: sutures of the cranium Slightly movable (amphiarthrosis) Example: pelvic bones Freely movable (diarthrosis) Example: hip joint
28
Six Types of Diarthrotic Joints Ball-and-socket joints of the shoulders and hips Hinge joints of the elbow and knee Gliding joints of the wrists Pivot joint at the base of the skull Saddle joint of the thumb Gomphosis, such as the attachment of a tooth in its socket in the jaw
