Skeletal System

Skeletal System 206 bones Functions Supports body and provides shape
Protects internal organs Movement and anchorage of muscles Mineral storage (Calcium and Phosphorus) Hemopoiesis (red marrow of the bone is the site of blood cell formation – red marrow is in long bones (epiphyses), sternum and ilia). Test question = provides mineral storage like calcium Test question = hemopoiesis – red marrow in long bones, sternum, & ilia produce RBC’s

Microscopic mature bone cells
Bone formation Osteocytes = mature bone cell Osteo = bone Cyte = cell Microscopic mature bone cells 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
4
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Bone formation Ossification – new minerals deposit to form bone Begins at 8 weeks gestation Minerals replace previously formed cartilage. 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
5
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Bone formation Infants bones are soft and pliable because of incomplete ossification. As bones ossify, they become hard. Long bones grow in length and ossify from the center to the ends. 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system

1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Know the following…. Osteocytes = mature bone cells Osteoblasts = cells that actually form bone Osteoclasts = cells that tear down old bone 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system

Types of Bones Long bones Found in the arms and legs Diaphysis – shaft
Epiphyses – ends Medullary cavity – center of shaft, filled with yellow bone marrow, which is mostly fatty cells, also cells that form white blood cells Endosteum- lines marrow cavity

Vertebral Column
17
Spine – Vertebral Column
Encloses the spinal cord Vertebrae – separated by pads of cartilage Intervertebral discs Cervical Vertebrae (7) Atlas – 1st cervical vertebrae Axis – 2nd cervical vertebrae Thoracic Vertebrae (12) Lumbar Vertebrae (5) Sacrum Coccyx

Appendicular Skeleton
Shoulder girdle Clavicle, scapula, humerus 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
19
Appendicular skeleton
Clavicle = collar bone Scapula = shoulder blade Humerus = upper arm Radius and ulna = lower arm (radius = thumb side) Carpals = wrist bones held together by ligaments
20
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Metacarpals = hand bones Phalanges = fingers Pelvis = 3 bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis) Femur = upper leg, longest and strongest bone in the body 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
21
Tibia and Fibula = lower leg (tibias touch – tibia is larger of the two bones)
Sternum = breast bone Patella = kneecap Tarsal bones = ankle bones Calcaneus = heel bone Metatarsals = foot bones
22
Appendicular Skeleton
Pelvis Pelvic girdle = ilium, ischium and pubis 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
23
Joints Joints are points of contact between 2 bones- classified according to movement: Diarthrosis – movable Amphiarthrosis – partially movable Synarthrosis – immovable Articular cartilage – covers joint surface Synovial Fluid – lubricating substance in joints
24
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
25
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Joints Ball and socket One bone has a ball at one end The other has a concave socket Allows for the greatest range of motion Ex: shoulder 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
26
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Joints Hinge joint Move in one direction 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
27
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Joints: Diarthroses Example of a hinge joint. Define uniaxial… permits movement in one axis only 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
28
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Joints Pivot joints Bones that rotate across each other 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
29
1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
Joints Gliding joint Bones with flat surfaces that slide across each other i.e. bones in ankle and hand 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
30

Joints Synarthroses Immovable joints Connected by fibrous connective tissue 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
32
Bursa and Synovial Membrane
Fluid-filled sac that contains the synovial membrane Lined by synovial membrane 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
33
Bursa and Synovial Membrane
Capsule that encloses a joint Lines the bursa Contains synovial fluid 1.02 Remember the structures of the skeletal system
34
Types of movement Flexion is a position that is made possible by the joint angle decreasing.
35
Extension A movement of a joint in which one part of the body is moved away from another. i.e. going from sitting to standing
36
Abduction A motion that pulls a structure or part away the midline of the body.
Adduction A motion that pulls a structure or part towards the midline of the body
37
Circumduction The circular or a more precise movement of a body part, such as a ball-and-socket joint or the eye.
38
Rotation A motion that occurs when a part turns on its axis.
i.e. shaking your head “no”
39
Pronation A rotation of the forearm that moves the palm from an anterior-facing position to a posterior-facing position, or palm facing down.
40
Supination The opposite of pronation, the rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly, or palm facing up.
41
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Arthritis Arthritis = An inflammation of one or more joints. Osteoarthritis- degenerative, occurs with aging, 80% of Americans suffer, joints become enlarged and painful
42
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis = A chronic, autoimmune disease = joints become swollen and painful, joint deformities common 1.03 Understand the functions and disorders of the skeletal system
43
Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis
44
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Gout Increase of uric acid deposited in joint cavity, mostly the great toe in men. 1.03 Understand the functions and disorders of the skeletal system
45
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Osteoporosis- most of those affected are women. Mineral density of bone is reduced 35% – 65%. The loss of bone mass leaves the bone thinner, more porous and more prone to fracture. (soft like a sponge)
47
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Osteoporosis How do you think osteoporosis treated?. Why is her height decreasing? 1.03 Understand the functions and disorders of the skeletal system
48
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Rickets Found in children, caused by lack of vitamin D, bones become soft. Is this a common problem in the US? Why or why not? Normal legs
49
Disorders of the Skeletal System
Abnormal spinal curvatures Kyphosis Lordosis Scoliosis swayback hunchback 1.03 Understand the functions and disorders of the skeletal system
50
Skeletal System Trauma
Dislocation Separation of bones in a joint Subluxation = partial separation (dislocation) 1.03 Understand the functions and disorders of the skeletal system
51
Skeletal System Trauma
Fracture- a break in a bone Treated by: Closed reduction- cast or splint applied Open reduction- surgical intervention with devices such as wired, metal plates or screws to hold bone in alignment Traction- pulling force used to hold the bone in place Used for fractures of long bones
52
Closed or simple Open or compound Greenstick Comminuted Spiral
bone broken, broken ends don’t break skin Open or compound broken bone pierce the skin, can lead to infection Greenstick in children, bone bent and splintered but never completely separates Comminuted splintered or broken into many pieces Spiral bone twists, resulting in one or more breaks
