CH 6 Skeletal System Part I Fun Bone Facts • When you were born you had over 300 bones. Now, you have 206 bones. • Over half the body's bones are in the hands and feet. • The only jointless bone in your body is the hyoid bone in your throat. • As your bones grow, you get taller (of course). Your growth in height is likely to stop by the time you are 16 if you're a girl and 18 if you're a boy. • Your bones are 50% water and 50% solid matter. • The smallest bone in the body is the stirrup (stapes) in the ear measuring about 3 mm in length. • The longest bone in the body is the femur. Bone • Osteology- The study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders Bone Functions: • Support- Provides points of attachment for muscle and other soft tissues • Protection- Protects organs from injury • Body Movement- As muscles contract, they pull and move bones • Stores Minerals- Especially calcium and phosphorous- When minerals are in demand by the body, they are released from bones to the bloodstream for distribution • Stores Chemical Energy- Yellow bone marrow is found in certain bones and contains adipocytes. This stored fat can be used for energy – Newborns do not have yellow bone marrow- just red bone marrow • Produces blood cells- Red bone marrow in certain bones produces all red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This process is called hematopoiesis – Red bone marrow is found in adults at the pelvis, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, skull and the ends of arm and thigh bones Though once used in various preparations, bone marrow has fallen out of favor as a food in the United States; However many other countries still feast on it. Diners in the US in the 18th century used a marrow scoop (or marrow spoon), often of silver and with a long thin bowl, as a table implement for removing marrow from a bone. “Bone” Appétit!! Parts of a Long Bone • Bones are either long, short, flat or irregular. Their shape is relative to their function. • Examples of long bones include the femur, humerus, tibia, fibula, radius and ulna. • The parts of a long bone are: • Diaphysis – The shaft of the bone (longest section) • Epiphyses – The distal and proximal ends of bones • Metaphyses- The 2 regions in a bone where the diaphysis meets the epiphyses • Each includes an epiphyseal plate (growth plate) made up of hyaline cartilage. This is where bones elongate. • Articular cartilage- Thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphyses. This is where the bone forms a joint with another bone. • Medullary cavity- Space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow in adults. • Endosteum- Lining of the medullary cavity that contains bone forming cells • Periosteum- Tough outer membrane that surrounds the bone surface where cartilage is not present. • Compact bone- Layer of the diaphysis inside the periosteum that gives bone its strength • Spongy bone- A lattice work of bone material that has many air spaces. Stores red bone marrow. The thin columns of spongy bone are called trabeculae Anatomy of a Long Bone Pop Quiz 1. What is the tough outer layer of a long bone? 2. What are the ends of long bone covered with? 3. What is the shaft of the bone called? 4. What material is found in the medullary cavity? 5. What does hematopoesis mean? Bone Cells • The formation of mature bone cells is as follows: Osteogenic cells Osteoblasts Osteocytes • Osteogenic cells undergo cell division in the inner portion of the periosteum and endosteum • Osteoblasts are developed osteogenic cells that do not have the ability to divide. They secrete collagen- gives bone some flexibility. • Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are trapped in collagen (matrix) and perform the daily metabolic activities of the bone. Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone • Perforating Canals (Volkmann’s Canals)Tunnels that extend transversely across the width of bones. These canals carry blood vessels and nerves. • Haversian Canals- Tunnels that run lengthwise through bone and connect with Perforating Canals • Lamellae- Concentric circles of hard, mineralized matrix (collagen strengthened with calcium and phosphorus • Lacunnae- Spaces between lamellae which contain osteocytes Structure of compact bone continued… • Canaliculi- Channels projecting outward from lacunnae. These channels connect lacunnae with each other. This allows many routes for nutrients and oxygen to reach bone cells. • Osteon- Each Haversian canal with its surrounding lamellae, lacunnae, osteocytes and canaliculi ANOTHER POP QUIZ…. 1.

What is in the center of an osteon? Haversian/central canal 3. What two things are found that run through #2? Blood vessel/nerve fibers 4. What are bone cells called? osteocytes 5. Where are they found (the space)? lacunae 6. What is bone matrix composed of? Collagen and minerals like calcium and phosphorus Bone Formation • The process by which bone forms is called ossification. This begins during the 6th or 7th month of fetal development and continues throughout adulthood. • During ossification, hyaline cartilage becomes bone. This happens by the following steps: 1. A membrane develops around the cartilage called the perichondrium (This eventually become the periosteum). 2. Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) trigger the uptake of calcium. Ossification continued… 3. Chondrocytes die because they can’t receive nutrients through the calcified matrix. 4. Osteogenic cells in the perichondrium develop into osteoblasts and ultimately osteocytes. 5. This continues until the hyaline cartilage of the epiphyseal plate is completely replaced with bone. The new bone in this area is called the epiphyseal line. Bone Surface Markings • The markings on bones serve as sites of attachment for muscles and/or ligaments. • Openings in bones serve as passageways for blood vessels and/or nerves. • Projections on bones take part in forming joints. Trochanter A trochanter is a smooth, rounded projection Femur Spine A spine is a sharp, slender, often pointed projection Fossa - a surface depression or concavity Facet A facet is a small, flat surface Condyle Condyle – a large, convex projection that usually contacts another bone Fissure A fissure is a deep cleft between adjacent parts of bone Meatus A meatus is a canal within a bone Foramen A foramen is a natural opening on a bone surface Tubercle – rough, rounded projection Suture A suture is a line at the junction of bones in the skull Sinus - a hollow space within bone Organization of the Skeleton • • The adult human skeleton has 206 bones. The skeleton can be divided into… • • Axial skeleton – Includes the bones of the skull, ear, hyoid, vertebral column, ribs and sternum Appendicular skeleton- Includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs, pectoral girdle and pelvic girdle – What is a girdle? Appendicular bone that connects to the axial skeleton Appendicular Skeleton Skull • The skull contains 22 bones – 8 cranial bones – 14 facial bones • Skull bones are held together by immovable joints called sutures: • Coronal suture- Unites the frontal bone with the 2 parietal bones • Sagittal suture- Unites the 2 parietal bones • Lamboid suture- Unites the parietal bones to the occipital bone • Squamous suture- Unites the parietal bones to the temporal bones Cranial Bones • The 8 cranial bones are as follows: Frontal bone, 2 Parietal bones, 2 Temporal bones, Occipital bone, Sphenoid bone, Ethmoid bone * Color these on the picture and label the sutures Facial bones • You need to be able to identify the following facial bones: Maxillae, Mandible, Nasal, Palatine, Zygomatic, Lacrimal, Vomer * Color these on the picture Sinuses • A hollow in a bone • Function in producing mucus (trap infection) and acting as resonating chambers for our speaking and singing. • Sinuses are continuous with the nasal cavity; therefore, infection in the nasal cavity can travel to the sinuses and cause membranes of the sinuses to become inflammed. • The 4 paranasal sinuses are: Frontal sinus, Sphenoid sinus, Ethmoid sinus, and Maxillary sinus Hyoid Bone • The hyoid bone does not attach to any other bone. It is suspended by ligaments and muscles. • The hyoid bone is in the neck between the mandible and larynx (voice box). • It is often fractured during strangulation. • It supports the tongue and provides attachment sites for tongue and neck muscles. Vertebral Column • The vertebral column extends from the skull to the pelvis • It protects the spinal cord and provides attachment sites for ribs and back muscles • It is composed of 26 vertebrae separated by intervertebral disks of cartilage • There are 5 vertebral regions: Cervical (7 vertebrae), Thoracic (12 vertebrae), Lumbar (5 vertebrae), Sacrum (5 fused vertebrae = 1 bone), and Coccyx (1 bone) Typical vertebra • A typical vertebra consists of a body and a vertebral arch that surrounds the spinal cord • The open part is the vertebral foramen through which the spinal cord runs • Vertebral processes (projections) are where muscles attach. When you feel your backbone, you are feeling the spines of the vertebra. Vertebral Arch Vertebral Foramen Cervical Vertebrae (C1-C7) • The top 2 cervical vertebrae are considerably different than the other 5. • Atlas (first vertebra – C1) supports and balances the head • Axis- second vertebra- C2 • Odontoid process – projection of the axis that provides a pivot for the atlas Odontoid Process THORAX • The skeletal part of the thorax is called the thoracic cage which includes the sternum, costal cartilages, and ribs. • The sternum is divided into the upper part (manubrium), middle part (body) and lower part (xiphoid process) • The manubrium attaches the clavicles and 1st and 2nd ribs • The body attaches the 2nd through 10th ribs • The xiphoid process does not attach any ribs only abdominal muscles. THORAX continued… • There are 12 sets of ribs. • Each rib attaches posteriorly with its corresponding thoracic vertebra (Rib pair #1 attaches to T1). • The first 7 ribs attach anteriorly to the sternum by coastal cartilage. • The coastal cartilage of ribs 8-10 does not attach to the sternum but to the cartilage of rib 7. They are called false ribs. • The coastal cartilage of the 11th and 12th pairs does not attach to anything; therefore, they are called floating ribs. PECTORAL GIRDLE • The pectoral girdle attaches the upper limbs to the axial skeleton. • It includes the clavicle and scapula. • The clavicle (collarbone) attaches to the sternum and the acromion of the scapula • The scapula (shoulder blade) has 5 parts: • • • • • Acromion- high point of the shoulder Body- Flattened triangular part Spine- Runs diagonally across the body Glenoid cavity- Depression Coracoid process- Where muscles attach UPPER LIMB • Each upper limb consists of 60 bones: 1 humerus, 1 ulna, 1 radius, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals and 14 phalanges – Humerus: • Proximal end articulates with the Glenoid cavity of the scapula • The body contains a “v” shaped area called the deltoid tuberosity which is where the deltoid muscle attaches • The distal end has a rounded knob called the capitulum that articulates with the radius. Also is the trochlea that articulates with the ulna. – Ulna- On the medial side (pinky side) of the forearm (in anatomical position) – Radius- On the lateral side (thumb side) of the forearm UPPER LIMB continued…… • Carpals- • Metacarpals- • Phalanges- Pelvic (Hip) Girdle • The pelvic girdle consists of 2 hip bones called coxal bones. • The coxal bones are connected anteriorly by the pubic symphysis joint. They are connected to the sacrum posteriorly by the sacroiliac joint. • The pelvic girdle is divided superiorly and inferiorly by the pelvic brim. – Above the pelvic brim is the false (greater) pelvis and below the brim is the true (lesser) pelvis. Pelvic (Hip) Girdle continued…. • The false pelvis is called this because it does not contain any pelvic organs except the bladder (when it is full) and the uterus (during pregnancy). • Each coxal is composed of 3 parts: – Illium – Largest of the 3 divisions. Its top is called the illiac crest – Ischium- Lower, posterior portion – Pubis- Anterior, inferior portion * These 3 parts together create the largest foramen in the skeleton- obturator foramen How is the male and female pelvis different? Female Male General Structure Light and thin Heavy and thick False Pelvis Shallow Deep Pelvic Inlet Larger and more oval Smaller and heart shaped Pelvic Outlet Wider Narrower Obturator Foramen Oval Round Pubic Arch Greater than 90º angle Less than 90º angle Lower Limb • The 2 lower lower limbs are each composed of 30 bones: – Femur, patella, tibia, fibula, 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and 14 phalanges. – Femur is the longest, strongest and heaviest bone in the body. – The distal end expands into the medial and lateral condyle which articulate with the tibia. – The patella (kneecap) is a triangular bone in front of the joint between the femur and tibia. It functions in protecting that joint. Lower Limb continued…. • The tibia (shin bone) is the larger, medial bone of the lower leg. – Its proximal end expands into a lateral and medial condyle which articulate with the femur. – On the anterior surface is the tibial tuberosity where the patellar tendon attaches. – On the distal, medial surface is the medial malleolus which articulates with the talus of the ankle and can be felt as a projection of the medial surface of the ankle. Lower Limb continued…. • The fibula is parallel and lateral to the tibia. – The head of the fibula articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia – The distal end of the fibula is the lateral malleolus which articulates with the talus. – The distal end also articulates with the tibia at the fibular notch • The ankle bones are called tarsals. • The most posterior are the talus and calcaneus (heel) • Each foot contains 5 metatarsals and 14 phalanges. The big toe has 2 while the other toes have 3. Know the bones of the general Skeleton…
