Skeleton: Overview o Functions of the Skeleton • • • • • Support Protection of internal organs Blood cell production- in red marrow Storage- fat and minerals (calcium and phosphorous Movement Skeleton: Overview o Classification • Long – longer than they are wide • Short – cube shaped • Flat – plate-like, with broad surfaces • Irregular – varied shapes • Round – circular in shape Fig 6.1 Skeleton: Overview o Anatomy of a Long Bone • Periosteum – tough, connective tissue covering • Epiphysis – expanded portion at the ends of bones • Diaphysis – portion between the epiphyses • Medullary cavity – hollow portion of diaphysis containing yellow marrow • Articular cartilage – layer of hyaline cartilage where bones join together • Endosteum – lines the medullary cavity and the spaces of spongy bone Skeleton: Overview • Compact Bone • Lacunae – contain bone cells (osteocytes) Lamellae – concentric layers of matrix containing collagen fibers and mineral salts Blood vessels and nerves enter the central canal Spongy Bone Contains bony bars and plates called trabeculae Trabeculae follow lines of stress, giving bones strength Fig 6.2b Skeleton: Overview o Bone Growth and Repair • • • • Osteoprogenitor cells – unspecialized cells Osteoblasts – bone forming cells Osteocytes – mature bone cells Osteoclasts – break down bone Skeleton: Overview • Bone Development and Growth Ossification – formation of bone Epiphyseal plate Intramembranous ossification Bone forms between two sheets of fibrous connective tissue Form bones of the skull Endochondral ossification Form most bones of the human body Hyaline cartilage models are replaced by bone Band of cartilage in the epiphyses of long bones Long bone growth continues until plate is ossified Appositional growth – increase in bone diameter Fig 6.3 Skeleton: Overview • Remodeling of Bones Bone is continually being broken down and built up again Osteoclasts remove worn cells and deposit calcium in the blood Osteoblasts remove calcium from the blood and form new bone Three important hormones regulating bone growth Parathyroid hormone Calcitonin Growth hormone Skeleton: Overview • Bone Repair Required after it fractures (breaks) Steps involved in bone repair Hematoma Fibrocartilaginous callus Bony callus Remodelling Naming of fractures Complete – bone is broken through Incomplete – bone is not separated into two parts Simple – does not pierce the skin Compound – pierces the skin Impacted – broken ends are wedged into each other Spiral – ragged break due to twisting of bone Reduction – repair of a fracture Closed reduction – re-aligning bone fragments without surgery Open reduction – surgical repair of the bone using plates, screws, or pins Fig 6.4 Table 6.1 Fig 6.5 Axial Skeleton o o Lies in the midline of the body Bones of the axial skeleton • • • • • Skull Hyoid bone The vertebral column The thoracic cage Middle ear bones Axial Skeleton • Skull Formed by the cranium and the facial bones

Mandibular condyle Coronoid process Skeletal Muscles of the Body • Hyoid bone Superior to larynx Only bone in the body that does not articulate with another bone Anchors the tongue Site of attachment for muscles associated with swallowing Fig 6.5a Axial Skeleton • Vertebral Column (Spine) Supports rib cage Serves as a point of attachment for the pelvic girdle Protects the spinal cord Consists of a series of separate bones named for their location Seven cervical (neck) Twelve thoracic (chest) Five lumbar (lower back) Five sacral Three to five coccygeal Normal curvatures Fig 6.9 Axial Skeleton Normal curvatures Cervical and lumbar – convex anteriorly Thoracic and sacral – concave anteriorly Provide support and balance Abnormalities Lordosis – exaggerated lumbar curvature Kyphosis – increased roundness of the thoracic curvature Scoliosis – abnormal lateral curvature that occurs most often in the thoracic region Fig 6.10 Axial Skeleton • Intervertebral Disks • Prevent vertebrae from grinding against one another Absorb shock Allow motion between vertebrae Vertebrae Body – anterior portion Vertebral foramin – canal for spinal cord Bony projections serve as sites for muscle attachment Atlas (C1) – supports the head; allows head movement up and down Axis (C2) - serves as a pivot for the atlas; allows head movement from side to side Sacrum – fused sacral vertebrae; forms posterior wall of the pelvic cavity Coccyx – formed from a fusion of three to five vertebrae Fig 6.11 Axial Skeleton • The Rib Cage Protects the heart and lungs Provides support for the bones of the pectoral girdle The ribs Twelve pair that connect to the thoracic vertebrae True ribs – upper seven pairs connect directly to the sternum by costal cartilages False ribs – next five pair that attach indirectly to the sternum or not at all (“floating” ribs) The sternum Flat, blade-shaped bone Composed of three bones that fuse Manubrium Body Xiphoid process Fig 6.12 Appendicular Skeleton o Pectoral Girdle • Clavicles • Articulate medially with the manubrium Only attachment to the axial skeleton Serves as a brace for the scapula and stabilizes the shoulder Scapulae Spine Acromion process Coracoid process Glenoid cavity Fig 6.13 Appendicular Skeleton o Upper Limb • Humerus Long bone of the arm Head articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula Greater and lesser tubercles serve as attachments for muscles Intertubercular groove holds a tendon from the biceps brachii Deltoid tuberosity attaches the deltoid Capitulum articulates with the head of the radius Trochlea articulates with the ulna Coronoid fossa Olecranon fossa Fig 6.14 Appendicular Skeleton • Radius • Lateral side of the forearm Head articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and fits into the radial notch of the ulna Radial tuberosity attaches a tendon from the biceps brachii Ulnar notch articulates with the head of the ulna Styloid process attaches ligaments that run to the wrist Ulna Longer bone of the forearm Coronoid process articulates with the coronoid fossa when elbow is flexed Olecranon process articulates with the olecranon fossa when the elbow is extended Trochlear notch articulates with the trochlea of the humerus Head articulates with the ulnar notch of the radius Styloid process attaches ligaments that run to the wrist Fig 6.15 Appendicular Skeleton • Hand Wrist (carpus) contains eight small bones Metacarpal bones form the palm Phalanges Bones of the fingers The thumb has only two phalanges (proximal and distal) The other fingers have three phalanges each (proximal, middle, and

separated by a joint cavity Usually freely moveable Fig 6.21 Fig 6.22 Joints (Articulations) Types of synovial joints Saddle joint Ball-and-socket joint Pivot joint Hinge joint Gliding joint Condyloid joint Fig 6.23 Joints (Articulations) Movements permitted by synovial joints Angular movements Flexion- decreasing angle or bending Extension- increase angle or straightening Adduction- towards the midline of body Abduction- away from the midline of body Joints- articulations Circular movements Circumduction- conical movement Rotation- single plane along longitudinal axis Supination Pronation Special movements Inversion and eversion Elevation and depression Fig 6.24 Effects of Aging o Cartilage and bone tend to deteriorate Articular cartilage may not function properly, resulting in arthritis o • • • o Osteoarthritis – deterioration of the articular cartilage Rheumatoid arthritis – synovial membrane becomes inflamed Gout – excessive buildup of uric acid Osteoporosis is common Homeostasis o Functions of the Skeletal System • • • • • • Protection of internal organs Bones assist in all phases of respiration Bones store and release calcium Bones assist the lymphatic system and immunity Bones assist digestion The skeleton is necessary to locomotion Homeostasis o Functions of Other Systems • • • The integumentary and the muscles assist in protecting internal organs The digestive system absorbs calcium from food and the endocrine system regulates the storage of calcium in the bones Movement of the bones is only possible because of the contraction of skeletal muscle
