Warm-Up Activity

• Fill in the names of the bones in the skeleton


diagram.
Warm-Up
1. What are the 4 types of bones? Give an
example of each.
2. Give 3 ways you can tell a female skeleton from
a male skeleton.
3. What hormones are involved in the skeletal
system?
Skeletal System
.
Skeletal System = bones, joints, cartilages, ligaments
• Axial skeleton: long axis (skull, vertebral column,
rib cage)
• Appendicular skeleton: limbs and girdles
Appendicular
Axial Skeleton
Skeleton
• Cranium (skull) • Clavicle (collarbone)
• Mandible (jaw) • Scapula (shoulder blade)
• Vertebral column (spine) • Coxal (pelvic girdle)
▫ Cervical vertebrae • Humerus (arm)
▫ Thoracic vertebrae • Radius, ulna (forearm)
▫ Lumbar vertebrae • Carpals (wrist)
• Metacarpals (hand)
▫ Sacrum
• Phalanges (fingers, toes)
▫ Coccyx • Femur (thigh)
• Sternum (breastbone) • Tibia, fibula (leg)
• Ribs • Tarsal, metatarsals (foot)
• Calcaneus (heel)
• Patella (knee)
Functions of the Bones
• Support body and cradle soft organs
• Protect vital organs
• Movement: muscles move bones
• Storage of minerals (calcium, phosphorus) &
growth factors
• Blood cell formation in bone marrow
• Triglyceride (fat) storage
Classification of Bones
1. Long bones
▫ Longer than they are wide (eg. femur, metacarpels)
2. Short bones
▫ Cube-shaped bones (eg. wrist and ankle)
▫ Sesamoid bones (within tendons – eg. patella)
3. Flat bones
▫ Thin, flat, slightly curved (eg. sternum, skull)
4. Irregular bones
▫ Complicated shapes (eg. vertebrae, hips)
Figure 6.2
Bones
• Adult = 206 bones
• Types of bone tissue:
▫ Compact bone: outer layer – dense & solid
▫ Spongy bone: inner layer - open spaces, marrow
• Features:
▫ Very hard (calcium salts)
▫ Light weight
▫ Ability to resist tension and forces (collagen
fibers)
Spongy vs. Compact Bone
Bone Development
• Osteogenesis (ossification): bone tissue formation

Stages:
• Begins at 8 weeks gestation
• Start as cartilage  replaced by bone
• Post-natal bone growth  early adulthood
• Epiphyseal plates: (growth plates) regions
where long bones lengthen
• Appositional growth: bones increase in
thickness
• Bone modeling and repair – lifelong
Formation of bony skeleton
Epiphyseal plates
Epiphyseal plates
Hormonal Control
• Growth hormones: stimulate longitudinal bone
growth
• Thyroid hormone: control activity of growth
hormone
• Testosterone & estrogens (at puberty):
• Adolescent growth spurt
• Close epiphyseal plates  end growth
Bone Cells
• Osteoblasts: bone-forming cells
• Osteocytes: mature bone cell (doesn’t divide)
• Osteoclasts: dissolve/break down bone (bone
resorption)
Fractures (Breaks)
Classified by:
1.Position of bone – nondisplaced (normal) or
displaced (bone out of alignment)
2.Completeness of break – complete (broken
through) or incomplete
3.Orientation to long axis of bone – linear
(parallel to bone) or transverse (perpendicular to
bone)
4.If bone penetrates skin – open (compound)
fracture or closed (simple) fracture
Male vs. Female Bone Structure
Male vs. Female Bone Structure
Male vs. Female Bone Structure
Bone Structure: Gender Differences
• Male Skull • Male pelvic bones
▫ Larger and heavier ▫ Heavier and thicker
▫ Forehead shorter ▫ Obturator foramen
▫ Face less round and acetabula are
▫ Jaw larger larger and closer
▫ Mastoid processes together
more prominent
Bone Structure: Gender Differences
• Male pelvic cavity
▫ Narrower and longer
▫ Less roomy and more
funnel shaped
• Male sacrum
▫ Narrower
▫ Sacral promontory projects forward
▫ Sacral curvature is less sharp posteriorly
• Male coccyx
▫ Less movable
The Skull
• 2 bone types:
▫ Cranial – form the
top, sides, and back of
the skull
▫ Facial – form the face
“Soft spots” felt on an infant's skull are
actually fontanelles
 Fibrous connective tissue that
connect the incompletely developed
flat bones
The Skull: Cranial Bones
• Frontal – anterior • Sphenoid and ethmoid
bones – floor
• Parietal – top and
most of the sides • Ear ossicles are the
smallest bones of the
• Occipital – back body
▫ Malleus
• Temporal – form the ▫ Incus
lower sides of the skull ▫ Stapes
The Skull (cont.)
• Mandible – forms the • Palatine – form the
lower jaw bone anterior portion of the
palate
• Maxillae – form the
upper jawbone • Vomer – a thin bone
that divides the nasal
• Zygomatic – form the cavity
prominence of the cheeks

• Nasal bones – fuse


together to form the
bridge of the nose
The Spinal Column
• 7 Cervical vertebrae
• 12 Thoracic vertebrae
• 5 Lumbar vertebrae
• Sacrum
• Coccyx
The Spinal Column (cont.)

• Cervical vertebrae • Thoracic vertebrae


▫ Smallest and lightest ▫ Join the 12 pairs of
▫ Located in the neck ribs
region
▫ C1 = Atlas
• Lumbar vertebrae
▫ C2 = Axis
▫ Have very sturdy
structures
▫ Weight-bearing
The Spinal Column (cont.)

• Sacrum
▫ Triangular-shaped bone  5 fused vertebrae
• Coccyx
▫ Small, triangular bone  3-5 fused vertebrae
▫ Considered unnecessary
▫ Also called the tailbone
Apply Your Knowledge
ANSWER:
Cervical – 7
Identify the sections
of the spinal column
and give the number Thoracic – 12
of vertebrae for each.

Sacrum –
Lumbar – 5
5 fused

Right! Coccyx –
3 to 5 fused
The Rib Cage
• Sternum
▫ Breastplate
▫ Forms the front middle
portion of the rib cage
▫ Joins with the clavicles
and most ribs
• Xyphoid process
▫ Cartilage tip in youth
▫ Ossified by age 40
The Rib Cage (cont.)

• 12 pairs of ribs • False


▫ All are attached ▫ Rib pairs 8-10
posteriorly to thoracic ▫ Attach to the costal
vertebrae cartilage of rib pair 7
• True • Floating
▫ First 7 pairs of ribs ▫ Rib pairs 11-12
▫ Attach to sternum by ▫ Do not attach
costal cartilage anteriorly to any
structure
Apply Your Knowledge

ANSWER:
True or False:
T The sternum forms the front middle portion of the rib cage.
___

F The xyphoid process is a boney tip of the sternum.


___
cartilaginous
F The true ribs are the first five pairs of ribs.
___
seven
T False ribs attach to the costal cartilage of rib pair seven.
___

F Floating ribs attach to the xyphoid process.


___
do not attach anteriorly to any structure.
