Adult Bones Adult humans have 206 bones Accounts for ~12-15% of body mass Some areas have a higher concentration of bones than others: 54 bones in wrists, palms and fingers 52 bones in ankles and toes 14 facial bones 1 throat bone (hyoid) More than half the bones of the body are in the hands and feet
3
Adult Bones Found throughout body Within softer bodily tissues Variety of sizes, shapes and functions Inner ear bones vs. femur Provides framework of body 2 divisions of bone Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton
4
Axial Skeleton 80 bones Skull Vertebral column Ribs Maintains upright posture of human body Protects vital organs
5
Appendicular Skeleton 126 bones Shoulder girdles Upper limbs Pelvic girdle Lower limbs Makes movement possible Protects major organs of digestion, excretion and reproduction
6
Types of Bone Long bones Length>diameter Short bones Length similar to width, depth and diameter Flat bones Irregular bones Complicated shapes Sesamoid bones
7
Movement of the Body Bones and muscles work together to allow the body to move Various shapes and sizes of bone create different movement Joints Where 2 or more bones come together
8
Joints of the Body Pivot Rotation Ball and Socket Almost all planes Hinge Flexion and extension Ellipsoid Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction Saddle Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction Gliding
9
Structure of Bone Consists of two main components Organic- produced as a result of the body Inorganic- “bone mineral” The combination creates both the strength and flexibility of bone
10
Organic Component of Bone Primarily collagen Protein Triple helix= tensile strength About 90-95% of organic component Other 5-10% is a homogenous liquid called ground substance Mixture of water and proteins Similar to an extracellular matrix, but for the fibers
11
Inorganic Component of Bone Primarily formed from salts of calcium and phosphate Major salt is hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) Other trace minerals Magnesium Sodium Potassium Carbonate Provides compressional strength of bone
12
Chemical Composition of Bone The exact percentages depend on a variety of factors: Age, gender, ethnicity, health status and bone site
