Skeletal System
3
Bones – the organ of the skeletal system
4
Long Bones -Longer than they are wide -This bone classification reflects the elongated shape of these bones not the overall size.
5
Long Bones Epiphysis – the bone ends Diaphysis – the shaft that forms the long axis of a long bone Articular Cartilage – hyaline cartilage that coats the end of bones in synovial joints
6
Periosteum – a tough, vascular covering of fibrous tissue on the surface of the bone Long Bones Processes – sites for attachment of ligaments and tendons Grooves & openings – passageways for blood vessels and nerves Depressions – articulate with a process of another bone
7
Long Bones Medullary Cavity - The center of the diaphysis - Hollow chamber filled with yellow bone marrow Endosteum -The thin layer of cells that cover the internal bone structures
8
Long Bones Compact Bone -solid, strong, and resistant to bending -makes up wall of diaphysis Spongy Bone -bone made up of bars and plates separated by irregular spaces, which help reduce weight of bone, provide strength, and decrease compression -make up most of the epiphysis
9
Compact Bone Osteocyte – bone cells Osteon – long, cylindrical shaped structures that run parallel to the long axis of the bone Osteonic Canals – core of the osteon which contains 2 sm blood vessels that supply nutrients to the bone cells *The osteocytes are spider shaped cells that occupy the small matrix called the lacunae
11
Compact Bone Volkmann’s Canal – (perforating canals) extend longitudinally through bone tissue and connect the blood and nerve supply to the central canals and marrow cavity.
12
Intramembranous Bones -Flat bones that develop from sheet-like masses of connective tissue…..exp (bones in skull) Osteoblasts – bone forming cell that develops around week 8 of embryonic development
14
Fontanels... Soft spots in the baby's skull where the membrane has not yet been ossified.
15
Endochondral Bones -The formation of long bones …..Fig 7.5 p127 epiphyseal disk/plate – between the primary and secondary ossification centers *This cartilaginous disk thickens as a person grows and new cells divide. osteoclasts – stimulated to reabsorb bone tissue
17
Bone Function 1.Support & Protection 2.Body Movement – levers 3.Blood Cell Formation – hematopoiesis: process of blood cell formation *red marrow – functions in formation of red and white blood cells and blood platelets *hemoglobin – red oxygen carrying pigment *yellow marrow – functions in fat storage, and is inactive in blood cell production. It replaces red marrow with age.
18
Bone Function 4.Storage of Inorganic Salts – excess calcium and phosphorus is stored in intracellular matrix of the bone Read Osteoporosis in text
20
Organization Of The Skeleton I.Axial Skeleton – bony and cartilaginous bones that protect and support the organs of the head, neck, and trunk. 1. Skull 2. Hyoid Bone 3. Vertebral Column 4. Thoracic Cage
22
Organization Of The Skeleton II. Appendicular Skeleton 1.Pectoral Girdle (scapula and clavicle) 2.Upper Limbs (humerus, radius-outside, ulna-inside, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges) 3. Pelvic Girdle (coxal bones) 4.Lower Limbs (femur, tibia-inside, fibula-outside, patella, tarsals metatarsals, phalanges)
23
Skull Consists of 22 bones held together by sutures
24
Skull A. Cranium - surrounds and protects the brain, provides sites for muscles attachment (8 bones) 1. Frontal bone 2. Parietal bone (2) 3. Occipital bone 4. Temporal bone (2) 5. Sphenoid bone 6. Ethmoid bone
25
Facial Bones 1.Maxillae 2.Palatine 3.Zygomatic bones 4.Lacrimal bones 5.Nasal bones 6.Vomer 7.Inferior nasal conchae 8.Mandible
28
Sutures *Immovable joints *Form boundaries between skull bones 5 Sutures -Coronal (between frontal and parietal bones) -Sagittal (between parietal bones) -Lambdoid (between occipital and parietal bones) -Squamous (between parietal and temporal bones) -Frontonasal (between frontal and nasal bones)
30
Infantile Skull Fontanels – fibrous membranes or soft spots that permit movement as skull develops and also helps pass during delivery.
31
Vertebral Column -Vertebrae extend from the skull to the pelvis and are separated by intervertebral disks. 3. Pedicle : 2 short stalks 5. Laminae : 2 plates 6. Spinous process : the laminae fuse together 4. Transverse process: between the pedicles and laminae 2. Transverse foramen : * * * * *
32
Cervical Vertebrae Bony axis of the neck C 1 -C 7 The smallest and lightest vertebrae
33
Cervical Vertebrae
34
Thoracic Vertebrae 12 Vertebrae T 1 – T 12 All articulate with ribs
35
Lumbar Vertebrae Large strong bodies to support weight L 1 -L 5 Makes up the small of your back Receives the most stress
36
Lumbar Vertebrae
37
Sacrum A curved, triangular structure, that shapes the posterior wall of the pelvis S 1 -S 5 : fused
38
Coccyx Tailbone, small and triangular Normally consists of 4 fused bones (sometimes 3 or 5) Besides giving the pelvic organs little support it is almost useless
40
Thoracic Cage -The chest and its bony framework *Ribs True ribs (1-7) False ribs (8-12) Floating ribs (11-12)
41
Sternum 1.Manubrium 2.Body 3.Xiphoid process
42
Pectoral Girdle -Shoulder girdle: consists of the clavicles, and the scapulas 1.Clavicles – collarbones 2.Scapulae – shoulder blade a) acromion process – “apex of shoulder” b) coracoid process – “beak-like” c) glenoid cavity – “pit-shaped”
43
Upper Limbs -humerous, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges Humerous
44
Radius -outside (lateral bone) of forearm, or thumb side of the forearm -thin at its proximal end and widened at its distal end Ulna -inside (medial bone) of forearm, or little finger side of forearm -proximal end is a coronoid process, olecranon process, and trochlear notch - grips the humerus like a pliers
45
Hand -carpals: (8) wrist -metacarpals: palm -phalanges: fingers -proximal -middle -distal
49
Gliding joints Synovial joints
50
Don’t forget……. Always wear your……. HELMET!!!
