THE SKELETAL SYSTEM CHAPTERS 6 & 7
2
The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system
Bones (skeleton) Joints Cartilages Ligaments Divided into two divisions Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton
3
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

Acro- -clast Lambd- -physis Arthro- Chondr- Lumb- Semi- Cap- Costa- Meta- Sterno- -blast Crist- Os-, Osteo- Sym- Cervic- Ethm- Peri- Synovi(o)-
5
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
6
Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape – pg 70 SG
Figure 5.1
7
Classification of Bones
Long bones Typically longer than wide Have a shaft with heads at both ends Contain mostly compact bone Examples: Femur, Humerus
8
Classification of Bones
Short bones Generally cube-shape Contain mostly spongy bone Examples: Carpals, tarsals
9
Classification of Bones
Flat bones Thin and flattened Usually curved Thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum
10
Classification of Bones
Irregular bones Irregular shape Do not fit into other bone classification categories Example: Vertebrae and hip
11
Gross Anatomy of the typical long bone – pg 72 of SG
Epiphysis Diaphysis Articular cartilage Epiphyseal line Spongy bone Compact bone Medullary cavity Periosteum
12
Components Mature bone cells are Osteocytes
13
Microscopic Structure of Bone
Haversian canal Lacunae Osteocytes Lamellae Canaliculi Volkmann’s canals Matrix Pg. text, 176 #A5 SG
17
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
18
Bone Markings Projections/sites of muscle and ligament attachment
Projections/sites that form joints Tuberosity Crest Trochanter Line Tubercle Epicondyle Spine Process Head Facet Condyle Ramus
19
More Bone Markings Cavities Depressions/Openings
allow blood vessels and nerves to pass Sinus Meatus Fossa Groove Fissure Foramen
20
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
21
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
22
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
23
Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton
24
Pg 73 SG Color Axial Skeleton Appendicular Skeleton With a key
25
THE AXIAL SKELETON
26
Forms the longitudinal part of the body Divided into three parts
The Axial Skeleton Forms the longitudinal part of the body Divided into three parts Skull Vertebral column Bony thorax
27
The Skull Text pg. 199 – 204 Color each of the bones of the skull
28
Bones are joined by sutures
The Skull Two sets of bones Cranium Facial bones Bones are joined by sutures Only the mandible is attached by a freely movable joint
33
Paranasal sinuses Paranasal sinuses Text pg. 211
35
The Vertebral Column Text pg. 213
36
Each vertebrae is given a name according to its location
37
Spinal abnormalities Lordosis Kyphosis Scoliosis Text pg. 226
38
Function determines Stucture

Bony thorax Rib cage Text pg. 223
45
Forms a cage to protect organs
46
Made up of 3 parts Sternum Ribs Thoracic vertebrae
47
THE APPENDICULAR SKELETON
48
The Appendicular Skeleton
Pectoral girdle Text pg. 232
49
Clavicle and Scapula
50
The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle Composed of two bones
Clavicle – collarbone Scapula – shoulder blade These bones allow the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement
51
Bones of the Shoulder Girdle

Upper limb Text Pg235
53
Wrist and hand Text pg 239
54
Bones of the Pelvic Girdle
Hip bones Composed of three pair of fused bones Ilium Ischium Pubic bone The total weight of the upper body rests on the pelvis Protects several organs Reproductive organs Urinary bladder Part of the large intestine

Lower limb Text pg 245
58
Bones of the feet Text pg 250, 251
59
Fractures text pg. 185
60
Bone Fractures A break in a bone Types of bone fractures
Closed (simple) fracture – break that does not penetrate the skin Open (compound) fracture – broken bone penetrates through the skin Bone fractures are treated by reduction and immobilization Realignment of the bone
61
Common Types of Fractures
62
Compound fracture
63
Repair of Bone Fractures
Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch
64
Stages in the Healing of a Bone Fracture
Figure 5.5
65
Diseases of the Skeletal System
66
Changes at around 60 years of age
Bones become porous Haversian canals and canaliculi become plugged Osteons Incompletely mineralized Hypermineralized Hypomineralized Number of empty lacunae increases Blood vessels inside bones are sclerotic Microinfractions in areas of strain or over-use Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts no longer in balance
67
Diseases/Disorders Osteoporosis Osteogenic sarcoma Osteomalacia
Osteomyelitis Osteopenia
68
Osteoporosis Decreased bone mass Increased fractures
Loss of Estrogen decreased Osteoblasts
69
Osteomalacia Osteogenic sarcoma
“soft” bones due to inadequate calcification Osteogenic sarcoma Malignant bone tumor
70
Osteopenia Decreased bone mass Osteomyelitis Bone infection
