Axial Skeleton – Brief explanation
• Provides support and protection for the brain, spinal cord and
organs in the ventral body cavity
• Attachment points of muscles, directs respiratory movements,
and stabilizes portions of the appendicular skeleton
• Consists of the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage
Axial Skeleton
- Diagram
Appendicular Skeleton
• Supports the attachment and functions of the upper and lower
limbs of the human body, consists of the pectoral girdle, and the
pelvic girdle
• Pectoral girdle acts as an attachment point of the upper limbs of
the body
• Pelvic girdle acts as an attachment point of the lower limbs,
bears the weight of the body, and is responsible for locomotion
in a way
• Upper limbs – arm, forearm, wrist and hand
• Lower limbs – thighs, legs and feet

Types of Bones in the Human Body
• flat bones
• long bones
• short bones
• irregular bones
• sesamoid bones
FLAT BONES
• Function as protection for internal organs
• Acts like a “shield”
• Large area can provide muscle attachment points
Flat Bones Examples
• Some bones in the skull (occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal,
lacrimal and vomer)
• Thoracic cage (sternum and ribs)
• Pelvis (ilium, ischium, and pubis)
Long Bones
• Function to support the weight of the body and facilitate
movement
• Mostly located in the appendicular skeleton
• Mainly lower and upper limbs of the body
Short Bones
• About as long as they are
wide
• Wrist and ankle joints
• Provide stability and some
movement
Irregular Bones
• Vary in shape and structure, don’t fit into any other category
• Often fairly complex in shape, and help protect internal organs
• Vertebrae protect the spinal cord
• Sacrum and Coccyx
Sesamoid Bones
• Bones embedded in tendons
• Small round bones usually found in the tendons of the hands,
knees and feet.
• Function to protect the tendons from stress and wear
• Best Example is the Patella (kneecap)
