What is the Skeletal System?
Skull
-consists of 22 bones of the :
8 Cranial bones
14 Facial bones
Cranial bones:
-Parietal
-Temporal
-Occipital
-Frontal
-Sphenoid
-Ethmoid
Facial bones:
-Mandible -Palatine
-Maxilla -Zygomatic
-Nasal -Vomer
-Inferior nasal
concha
-Lacrimal
Auditory ossicles
•True Ribs
•False Ribs
•Floating Ribs
Thoracic Cage
Sternum:
- also known as breastbone
-divided into three parts:
•Manubrium
•Body
•Xiphoid process
APPENDICULAR SKELETON
- includes the pectoral girdle, upper limb, pelvic girdle,
& lower limb
Pectoral girdle
-consists of four bones, two scapulas & two clavicles
Upper limb:
-consists of 30 bones
each side:
•Humerus
•Ulna
•Radius
•Carpal
•Metacarpal
•Phalanges
The carpals are made up of :
⚬Scaphoid
⚬Lunate
⚬Triquetrum
⚬Pisiform
⚬Trapezium
⚬Trapezoid
⚬Capitate
⚬Hamate
Pelvic Girdle
⚬Calcaneus
⚬Talus
⚬Navicular
⚬Cuboid
⚬Cuneiforms
Four Categories of Bone based on their shape:
Osteoblast
- cells that form bone tissue. Responsible for bone matrix
formation and growth.
Osteoclast
- responsible for bone reabsorption.
Osteocyte
-transmit signals to nearby osteocytes regarding bone stress.
Forming main bone tissues.
5 types of Bone tissue
Bone-lining cells
- also known as inactive osteoblasts, and have potential
to become active
a. Plane e. Condyloid
b. Hinge f. ball and socket
c. Saddle
d. Pivot
