Functions of Bone Support and Protection shape and form underlying tissue protection
7
Functions of Bone Body Movement Levers Blood Cell Formation hematopoiesis Storage of Inorganic Salts quantity of calcium phosphate initiates osteoblasts and osteoclasts osteoporosis
8
Functions of Bone
10
Organization of the Skeleton Axial Skeleton skull, hyoid, vertebral column, thoracic cage Appendicular Skeleton pectoral girdle and upper limbs pelvic girdle and lower limbs
12
Cranial Bones Frontal anterior; superior to eyes Parietal posterior to frontal bulge on head Occipital posterior and base of cranium Temporal lateral and base
13
Cranial Bones Sphenoid and ethmoid create sinuses sinusitis
14
Functions of the Cranium Enclose and protect the brain Paranasal sinuses reduce weight increase intensity of voice through resonance
15
Jaw Bones Maxillary bone upper jaw Mandible Movable Cleft Palate
16
Infantile Skeleton development - Skull Incomplete development Many fontanels (“soft spots”) permit movement between bones; allow skull to be compressed during birth Allow for continued brain growth Eventually fuse - sutures Proportions are quite different from those in an adult skull small face prominent forehead large orbits
17
Typical Vertebrae Drum shaped body Body and bony arch surround spinal cord Notches provide the foramen for spinal nerves
18
3 Types of Vertebrae Cervical first 7 Thoracic middle 12 Lumbar last 5 Scoliosis
20
Cervical Vertebrae Bony axis of neck Atlas 1st vertebrae supports and balances head Axis 2nd vertebrae provides pivot of head
21
Thoracic Vertebrae Larger than cervical Facets articulate with the ribs
22
Lumbar Vertebrae Large and strong Support most body weight Sacrum 5 fused vertebrae Coccyx (tailbone) 4 fused vertebrae lowest part of vertebral column
23
Infantile Skeleton development – Vertebral Column Spinal curvatures well developed – Primary curvatures Thoracic Sacral Cervical curvature Develops as baby learns to lift his/her head Lumbar curvature Develops during learning to sit and walk
24
Disorders Spina Bifida Vertebrae do not completely develop Genetic – quad screen test
25
Spina Bifida
27
Disorders Herniated Disk Elastic portion of disk degenerates Back pain; loss of muscular function
28
Thoracic Cage Shaped like an inverted cone Ribs Thoracic vertebrae Sternum Manubrium, body, xiphoid process Costal Cartilage attach ribs to sternum Why articulate with cartilage instead of bone?
29
Functions of the Thoracic Cage Support pectoral girdle and arms Protect organs –Heart and lungs Aid in breathing
30
Ribs 12 pairs –first seven are true –last five are false Curves around chest and slope downward Articulate with transverse process on vertebrae
31
Sternum Breast bone Articulates with the clavicle Red marrow produces RBC Sternal puncture thin compact bone so easy to obtain marrow for diagnosis
32
Pectoral Girdle Incomplete ring 2 Clavicles (collar bone) –slender, elongated –hold shoulders in place –attachment site for muscles of the arm, chest, back 2 Scapula (shoulder blade) –broad, triangular bones –articulates with humerus
33
Upper Limb Humerus articulates with radius & ulna Radius elbow to wrist articulates with humerus, ulna, wrist Ulna overlaps humerus articulates laterally with radius Hand carpals, metacarpals, phalanges
35
Pelvic Girdle Pelvis sacrum, coccyx, girdle 2 Coxal bones (3 fused bones) Ilium (hipbone) Ischium (“butt” bone tuberosity Pubis Fused at the symphysis pubis
36
Lower Limb Femur –knee to hip –longest bone in the body Tibia –shinbone Fibula –lateral to tibia –bears no weight Foot –Tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges –calcaneus
37
Male v. Female Skeleton Male larger hip bones more narrow more bone mass Female wider hip bones angle at symphysis pubis is greater less bone mass
