THE AXIAL SKELETON
• The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones in
three regions:
– The skull
– The vertebral column
– The bony thorax
• The axial skeleton supports the head and
trunk and protects important organs.
– Brain
– Heart
– Lungs
7-3
THE SKULL
• The skull is the most complex skeletal
structure consisting of 22 bones.
– The cranium protects the brain
– The facial bones:
•
•
•
•
•
Form the facial features
Place for special sense organs
Passages for air and food
Secure the teeth
Attachment sites for facial muscles
• With the exception of the mandible, all skull
bones are connected to each other thru
sutures.
7-4
The skull
• Consists of the cranium and the bones of the face
– The cranium encloses cranial cavity
– Facial bones surround and protect the entrances to the
respiratory and digestive tracts
• Superficial landmarks include the sutures

Skull Cranial Bones
• one occipital bone
– foramen magnum
• two parietal bones
• one frontal bone
• two temporal bones

Infant Skull
• Contains cartilaginous soft spots called
fontanelles.
• What function do fontanelles serve?
7-11
The Hyoid Bone
• The hyoid bone is the
“adam’s apple”
• It serves as a point of
attachment for
muscles that perform
the act of swallowing,
or deglutition.

Appendicular Skeleton
• Girdles
– Pectoral or shoulder
– Pelvic
• Upper Limbs
– Arm (brachial)
– Forearm
(_antebrachium_)
– Wrist (carpal)
– Hand (manual)
• Lower Limbs
– Thigh (femoral)
– Leg (__crural_)
– Foot (pedal)

7-15
THE PECTORAL GIRDLE
• The pectoral girdle is formed by the clavicle
and the scapula.
• Only the clavicle actually attaches to the
thorax.
• The scapula “floats” on the back of the ribs.
• The humerus attaches loosely to the sockets
formed by the scapula and clavicle.
– This is good for freedom of movement.
– This is not as good for stability.

THE PELVIC GIRDLE
• The pelvic girdle attaches the lower limbs to
the axial skeleton.
• The attachment of the pelvis to the sacrum
is an incredibly stable and strong
attachment, unlike the pectoral girdle.
• The socket for the femur (acetabulum) is
deep & holds the femur extremely well.
– Less mobile ball & socket joint than the
shoulder.
• Each wing of the pelvic girdle is formed
from a bone called the coxal bone.
7-24
Pelvis
• Coxae: Right and Left
– Ilium- larger
– Ischium- smaller
– Pubis
• _pubic arch or pubic
symphisis______
• Acetabulum
• Obturator foramen
• Sacrum

FEMALE VS. MALE PELVIS
7-27
Female vs. Male Pelvic Girdle
• What purpose do the differences between
the female and male pelvic girdles serve?
7-28
THE LOWER LIMB
• The bones of the lower limb must support
the weight of the entire body, thus, these are
the largest and heaviest of the bones.
• The lower limb consists of:
– The thigh
– The leg
– The foot
• The lower limb is formed by 30 bones.
– 1 patella
– -1 tarsal vs carpal
7-29
Thigh
• Femur
– Head
– Neck
– Trochanters
• Greater and lesser
– Condyles
• Medial and lateral
– Epicondyles
• Medial and lateral

Leg
• Tibia
– Larger and supports
most of weight
– Tibial tuberosity
– Medial malleolus
• Fibula
– Articulates with tibia
not femur
– Lateral malleolus

Points to Remember
• Appendicular skeleton includes bones of
upper and lower limbs and pectoral and
pelvic girdles
• Pectoral girdle and upper limb held in place
largely by muscles
• Pelvic girdle has strong articulation with
sacrum to help support weight of body
