Terms to know • Abduction – motion away from the midline of the body • Adduction- motion toward the midline of the body • Flexion – decrease in the angle between two bones at their joint • Extension – movement that straightens bones at their joint. • Joint – point of juncture of two or more bones • Ligaments – tissue which connects bones to bones at a joint • Synovial fluid – lubricating fluids • Tendon – tissue which connects muscles to bone Skeletal System Terms • • • • • • • • arthr/o………….joint burs/o…………bursa carp/o………...carpels chondr/o……cartilage clavicul/o……clavicle coccyg/o………coccyx cost/o……………rib crani/o…………skull (wrist) (collar bone) (tailbone) • femor/o………femur • fibul/o…………fibula (thigh bone) (thinner lower leg bone) • • • • humer/o …….humerus (upper arm bone) ili/o…………..ilium (part of the pelvis) ischi/o………….ischium (part of the pelvis) mandibul/o……mandible (lower jaw) • maxill/o ………..maxilla (upper jaw) • metacarp/o…….metacarpus • metatars/o……..metatarsus (hand bones) • • • • • • muscul/o………muscle my/o…………...muscle myel/o…bone marrow oste/o…………bone patell/o……….patella Phalang/o…phalanges (foot bones) (knee cap) (fingers and toes) • pub/o………….pubis • • • • • (part of the pelvis) radi/o………. radius (part of the forearm) sacr/o……….sacrum scapul/o……..scapular (shoulder blade) spondyl/o…….vertebra stern/o ……..sternum (breast bone) • tars/o……….tarsals • ten/o………..tendon (ankle) • tendin/o………tendon • tibi/o………….tibia • uln/o…………..ulna (shin, larger lower leg bone) (part of the forearm) • vertebr/o……..vertebra The Skeletal System • The adult body consists of 206 bones. Functions of the Skeleton – Support • Provides a framework for the body – Protection • Protects vital organs – Movement – Storage areas • Stores calcium – Production – produces blood cells in the marrow • Categories of Bones long bones • Arms and legs (humerus, femur). Long Bones • The longest portion of a long bone is called the “shaft”. The outer portion is compact bone. Oxygen and nutrients are brought from the bloodstream to the compact bone. • The shaft is also called the diaphysis. Each end of the shaft has an area shaped to connect to other bones by means of ligaments and muscles. These ends are called epiphysis Short Bones Are small, cubeshaped bones • Examples: Wrists, ankles, and toes (carpals, tarsals). Flat Bones • Usually have large flat surfaces that cover organs. The shoulder blades, ribs, pelvis, and skull have flat bones Irregular Bones •Irregular bones are specialized bones with specific shapes. •The bones of the ears, face, and vertebrae are irregular bones. Sesamoid Bones – Sesamoid bones are formed in a tendon near joints. • The knee cap (patella) is a sesamoid bone. Sesamoid bones are also found in the hands and feet. • Bone Marrow – Soft connective tissue is important in the production of blood cells. – Red bone marrow is found in infants’ bones and in flat bones of adults. – Yellow bone marrow is found in most other adult bones and is made up of connective tissue filled with fat. Divisions of skeleton • Axial Skeleton: – Skull • Cranium • Face – Vertebral column – Thorax Bones of the Head (Skull) – Frontal bone. – Ethmoid bone. – Parietal bone. – Temporal bone. – Occipital bone. – Sphenoid bone. • The Spinal Column – Consists of 5 sets of vertebrae. • Cervical vertebrae – 7 bones. • Thoracic vertebrae – 12 bones. • Lumbar vertebrae – 5 bones. • Sacrum – 5 fused bones. • Coccyx – the tailbone, formed from 4 fused bones. The Vertebral Column • Bones of the Chest – Clavicle, or collarbone. – Sternum, or breastbone. – Twelve pairs of ribs. • Bones of the Pelvis – Pelvic girdle – large bone that forms the hips and supports the trunk of the body. – Cartilage connects the 2 pubic bones. Appendicular Skeleton – Upper extremities – Arms • • • • • • Humerus Radius Ulna Carpals Metacarpals Phalanges Radius and Ulna Bones of the Hand and Wrist Appendicular Skeleton – Lower extremities – Legs • • • • • • • Femur Patella Tibia Fibula Tarsals Metatarsals Phalanges The Femur The Patella Bones of the Foot Joints • Points where bones connect • Connected with ligaments which are bands of fibrous tissue Types of Joints • Fixed Joints – allow no movement of bones (example: bones in the skull) • Partially moveable joints – allow some movement of bones (example: vertebrae) Moveable Joints • Allows full movement of bones • Different types of movable joints: – Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in any direction. Moveable Joints • Hinge Joints – allow movement in only one direction • Examples: elbow and knee Moveable Joints • Pivot Joints – allows rotating movement from side to side Movable Joints • Gliding joints allows sliding movement back and forth (example: wrist) Diseases and Disorders of the Skeletal System • Fractures – breaks or cracks in the bone Compound Fracture • Also known as an open fracture, is a break with an open wound Compound fx of the ankle Comminuted fx • A break in which the bone is fragmented or shattered Spiral fx • This occurs when a bone is twisted apart. Osteoporosis • Softening of the bones due to lack of calcium and exercising Osteomyelitis • Caused by bacteria in bone tissue Arthritis • It is an inflammation of the joints causing pain, stiffness, aching, and limited range of motion. The three common types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Osteoarthritis is degeneration of the joints and erosion of the joint cartilage Rheumatoid Arthritis • A systemic disease affecting the connective tissue. Gout • An accumulation of uric crystals in the joints. It usually affects the big toe. Sprain • An injury or trauma to the joints that tears the ligaments. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, pain, and an inability to move the area. Scoliosis • Side-to-side (lateral) curvature of the spine Kyphosis also known as a humpback • Rounding forward at the thoracic vertebrae Lordosis also known as a swayback • An abnormal inward curvature of the lumbar spine Bursitis • Inflammation of the bursa Herniated Disc • Also called a slipped or ruptured disc • One or more of the spinal discs bulges out from inside the bony part of the vertebrae
