Bones of the trunk
2
Skeletal system Your bones manufacture blood cells.
Our bones are held by our muscles The smallest bones are in our ears
4
Bones classified by shape: long, short, flat,
irregular, round Bone enclosed in periosteum, which is continuous with tendons and ligaments blood vessels in periosteum Epiphysis- ends spongy bone contains red marrow compact bone, articular cartilage Diaphysis- middle compact bone medullary cavity- contains yellow marrow (fat) lined with endosteum (squamous epithelium)
6
Compact bone osteocytes within lacunae arranged in concentric circles called lamellae This surround a central canal; complex is called Haversian system Canaliculi connect osteocytes to central canal and to each other
8
Prenatal development skeleton is mostly cartilaginous Cartilage cells and then osteoblasts start to deposit minerals Cartilaginous disk (epiphyseal disk) remains in epiphysis Cells eventually stop dividing
10
Bursae & Tendon Sheaths
Bursae: flat, fibrous sac w/synovial membrane lining Tendon Sheaths: elongated bursae that wraps around tendons 3 Factors in Joint Stability: Muscle Tone Ligaments Fit of Articular Surface pg 219
11
pg 224 Joint Shapes Hinge: cylindrical end of 1 bone fits into trough shape of other angular movement-1 plane (eg) elbow, ankle, interphalangal Plane: articular surface in flat plane Short gliding movement (eg) intertarsal, articular processes of vertebrae
12
Joint Shapes Condyloid: egg-shape articular surface + oval concavity
pg 225 Joint Shapes Condyloid: egg-shape articular surface + oval concavity side-to-side, back+forth movement (eg) metacarpophalangeal (knuckle) Pivot: round end fits into ring of bone + ligament rotation on long axis (eg) prox. radius/ulna, atlas/dens
14
Thoracic cage ribs thoracic vertebrae sternum costal cartilages True ribs are directly attached to the sternum (first seven pairs) Three false ribs are joined to the 7th rib Two pairs of floating ribs
16
Clavicles and scapulae
Help brace shoulders Attachment sites for muscles
18
Bones of upper limb Humerus (upper arm) Radius; ulna Carpals, metacarpals, phalanges Bones of lower limb Femur Patella Tibia, fibula Tarsals, metatarslas, phalanges
19
Radius and Ulna Radius on Top Ulna on Bottom
20
Carpals or (Wrist Bones)
21
Phalanges (Little Fingers)
22
Rib Cage
23
Sternum (Breastbone)
24
Characteristics - Ligaments
Ligaments hold the vertebral column in an upright position The broad Anterior Longitudinal Ligament prevents hyperextension and is quite strong The cord like Posterior Longitudinal Ligament prevents hyperflexion and is relatively weak
25
Characteristics - Ligaments
Ligaments also connect specific vertebra and support disc position Supraspinos ligament Ligamentum flavum Interspinous ligament
26
Intervertebral Discs Intervertebral discs are cushion like pads interposed between vertebra The discs provide elasticity and compressibility Compression flattens discs Discs are thickest in the cervical and lumbar to provide flexibility
27
Characteristics - discs
Annulus fibrosus surrounds the outer margin Collagen fibers Nucleus pulposus is the semi fluid substance which shifts under body weight & pressure Herniation of disc Herniation of disk
28
General structure of vertebrae
Common pattern Body or centrum Vertebral arch lamina pedicle Vertebral foramen Spinous process Muscles attach Transverse process
29
General structure of vertebrae
Interlocking pattern Superior and inferior processes interlock The inferior from above and the superior from the vertebrae below form a movable joint The movement contributes to spinal rotation Superior Articular Process
30
General structure Pedicles have notches on their superior and inferior borders Lateral openings are called intervertebral foramen Spinal nerves from spinal cord exit through these foramina
31
Regional Characteristic: Cervical
Body is oval, but wide side to side C3 - C7 Spinous process is short and bifid (split) except in C7 Vertebral foramen is triangular Transverse processes contain foramina for blood vessels leading to brain
32
Cervical Vertebrae C1 Lateral masses articulates with the occipital condyles of the skull
33
Cervical Vertebrae C1 Body of the Vertebrae is missing Inferior articular surface articulates with C2 below
34
Cervical Vertebrae C2 The axis has the odontoid process or dens is its unique feature The dens is the missing body of the atlas which fuses with the atlas during embryonic development
35
Regional Characteristic: Cervical
Spinous processes project directly posteriorly Superior facets directed superoposteriorly Inferior facets directed inferoanteriorly Flexion/extension, lateral flexion and rotation
36
Regional Characteristic: Thoracic
Body is larger than cervical; heart shaped Spinous process is long and sharp Vertebral foramen is circular Transverse processes project posteriorly and bear facets for ribs
37
Regional Characteristic: Lumbar
Body is massive and kidney shaped Spinous processes are short and blunt Vertebral foramen is triangular Transverse processes are perpendicular to spinous process but has no special features
38
Regional Characteristic: Lumbar
Spinous process projects posteriorly Superior facets directed medially Inferior facets directed laterally Flexion/extension, some lateral flexion, rotation prevented
39
Sacral Ala are fused remnants of transverse processes that articulate with hip bones to form the sacro iliac joints of the pelvis Sacral promontory Center of gravity is 1 cm posterior of this point Transverse line are sites of vertebral fusion Sacral foramina transmit blood vessels and nerves Ala Sacral promontory
40
Sacral On the posterior aspect median sacral crest are fused spinous processes The vertebral canal continues inside the sacrum as the sacral canal Sacral hiatus is at the inferior end of the sacral canal Superior articular surface form a joint with the spinal column
41
Coccyx Coccyx articulates with sacrum
42
Sternum Located on the anterior midline of the thorax
Consists of three fused bones; manubrium, body, and xiphoid process Manibrium articulates with clavicle & 2 ribs Body with ribs 2 - 7 Xiphoid attachment site for abdominal muscle
43
Thorax to Vertebral Column
44
Ribs
45
Ribs Ribs are bowed flat bones Long shaft
Tear drop shaped with a costal groove on inner surface Head of rib has 2 facets to articulate with its vertebrae as well as the one above
46
Ribs Tubercle of rib articulates with transverse process
Ligaments secure rib to transverse process Note how the transverse processes of thoracic vertebrae are angled posteriorly
47
Pelvis (Dancing Bone)
48
Femur (Largest Bone in the Body)
49
The Tibia and Fibula
50
Metatarsals
51
Phalanges
52
Calcaneous
