“Anatomy" commonly refer to human anatomy.
Later same structures and tissues are found throughout the
rest of the animal kingdom and the term also includes the
anatomy of other animals.
Zootomy is used to specifically refer to animals.
The structure and tissues of plants are of a dissimilar nature
and they are studied in plant anatomy.

those of your family members.
Physical Educators/Sports Medicine/Coaching - when
working with students and athletes, it is important to know
anatomy in order to ensure quick assessment and treatment
of injuries, as well as promoting their prevention.
First Responders - Those who respond to emergencies, are
part of search and rescue or are just citizen bystanders are
the ones who will first come into contact with those needing
physical help. Advanced knowledge of anatomy and
physiology will make it easier to give or obtain them proper
treatment.

A cell is made of protoplasm.
Cell is differentiated into three principal parts.
I. Plasma Membrane (or) Cell Membrane
II. Cytoplasm
III. Nucleus

31. 8/21/2017 31
I. Plasma membrane or Cell membrane

protoplasm
Act as a selective permeable membrane (regulate the
passage of some substances through it)
•Glucose
•Water
•Oxygen
•Carbon di oxide pass through easily
Fatty acids, glycerol and urea pass through it less easily
While inorganic salts, proteins and carbohydrate do not pass
at all.

- rod like structure made-up of two layer
-outer layer is smooth and the inner layer has
many folding or projections called cristae
-space inside the inner membrane is filled with
a dense material called martrix
-martrix includes nearly 60 enzymes & hence
are called ‘enzyme pockets’.
-play an important role ‘cell respiration’ and
production of energy
-Power house of cell

39. 8/21/2017 39
4. Lysosomes
Small bags of enzymes
Contain about 40 digestive enzymes

50. Human Skeleton
is the internal framework of the body.
It is composed of 270 bones at birth –
this total decreases to 206 bones by
adulthood after some bones have fused
together.
The bone mass in the skeleton reaches
maximum density around age 30.

51. Classification
1. Axial Skeleton (80)
(Vertebral column, rib cage and skull)
2. Appendicular Skeleton (126)
(pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle and bones of
the upper and lower limbs)

52. Types of Bones
Long bones (Arms, hands, legs and feet)
Short bones {Bones of Wrist (Carpal bones) & Bones of ankles (Tarsal bones)}
Flat bones (Most of bones in skull & Bones of the thorax (chest)-rib, sterum)
Irregular Bones (vertebrae, pelvis)
Sesamoid bones (patella)

53. Gender difference in the skeleton
In general, female skeletal elements tend to be smaller and
less robust than corresponding male elements within a given
population.
In gender difference in the human skeleton is generally
observed in
• skull
•dentition
•sterum
•long bones
•pelves

58. Function of bones
Bones form an important component of the skeletal system They perform a wide
range of important functions that can be classified into three categories:
Mechanical Functions of bones:
Protection:
At numerous places inside the body, bones serve to protect important and delicate
organs. The best examples to be quoted here are those of brain (which is protected
by the skull) and heart (which is protected by the ribcage).
Shape:
Because of their rigid nature, bones provide a framework around which the body is
built. So bones are responsible for the shape and form of human body.
Movement:
Working with skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, the bones form the
moving machinery of human body. The major role of bones in movement is that they
act as levers, which make use of the forces generated by skeletal muscles in a
beneficial way.

59. Synthetic Functions of Bones:
Synthesis of blood cells:
The major synthetic role of bones is to produce blood
cells. The bones themselves are not capable of doing
this. Instead, they house the bone marrow, which
contains Hematopoieticstem cells, capable of
producing blood cells. In infants, bone marrow of all
long bones is capable of this synthesis, however, as a
person gets older, the red marrow turns into yellow
fatty marrow, which is no more capable of
hematopoiesis. The red marrow in adults and older
individuals is restricted to vertebrae and heads of
tibia and femur.

60. Metabolic Functions of Bones
Mineral Storage:
Bones serve as an important store house of
minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
Fat storage:
The yellow bone marrow of long bones act as a
storage of fats.
Role in acid-base balance:
Bone buffers the blood against excessive pH
changes by absorbing or releasing alkaline salts

61. Functions
The human skeleton serves six major functions
•support
•movement
•protection
•production of blood cells
•storage of minerals
•endocrine regulation

65. Ribs
12 pairs all attached to the backbone.
First seven are true ribs joining also to the sternum.
Next three are the false ribs, which also join to the seventh
rib.
Last two are the floating ribs — only joined at one end to
the backbone.

67. The sternum or breastbone is a flat thin bone at the centre of the chest wall

68. Vertebral column
Backbone or spine
There are normally
33 vertebrae

69. Region and position - from top to bottom
•Cervical spine - 7
•Thoracic spine - 12
•Lumbar spine - 5
•Sacrum -5
•Coccyx - 4

70. Cervical spine
7 vertebrae (C1–C7)

71. Thoracic spine
12 vertebrae (T1–T12)

72. Lumbar spine
5 vertebrae (L1–L5)

73. Sacrum
5 (fused) vertebrae (S1–S5)

74. Coccyx
4 (3–5) (fused)
vertebrae (Tailbone)

75. The Upper Limb
The “Arm” bone is called the Humerus, the largest,
longest bone of the upper limb.
Bones of the Upper Extremity

76. The “Forearm” has two parallel long bones, called the Radius and the Ulna.

77. The “Hand” contains:
–8 “wrist” bones or Carpals
–5 “hand” bones or Metacarpals
–14 “finger” bones or Phalanges

78. Carpals
•Scaphoid/Navicular
•Lunate
•Triquetral
•Pisiform
These bones articulate
with the radius and ulna
•Trapezium
•Trapezoid
•Capitate
•Hamate
These bones articulate with the metacarpals

79. Metacarpals
•Form the palm of your hand
•Are numbered 1-5
•Each metacarpal has a:
–Base= proximal end, articulates with carpals
–Shaft= middle portion
–Head= distal end, form your knuckles

80. Phalanges
•Forms your fingers
•Each finger, except for the thumb, has three phalanges
–Proximal, middle, and distal
•Each one is numbered from 1-5
–#1= thumb, #2=index finger, #3=middle finger, #4=ring
finger, #5=little finger

81. Bones of the Lower Extremity
Bones of the Pelvic Girdle
Femur
Petalla
Tibia and Fibula
Tarsals, Metatarsals and Phalanges

82. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle

83. Femur

84. Petalla

85. Tibia and Fibula

86. Tarsals, Metatarsals and Phalanges

87. TYPES OF JOINTS
Joint is derived from Latin iunctus
A joint (articulation) is the point where
two or more bones meet.
Provide mechanical support / allow
movement in most of case expect few

88. The joints may be classified anatomically into the
following groups:
•Articulations of hand
•Elbow joints
•Wrist joints
•Axillary articulations
•Sternoclavicular joints
•Vertebral articulations
•Temporomandibular joints
•Sacroiliac joints
•Hip joints
•Knee joints
•Articulations of foot

89. Structural classification (binding tissue)
Functional classification (movement)
Biomechanical classification

90. Structural classification (binding tissue)
There are three main types of joints
Fibrous (immoveable)
Cartilaginous (partially moveable)
Synovial (freely moveable)

91. Functional classification (movement)
Joints can also be classified functionally according to the
type and degree of movement they allow:
synarthrosis – permits little or no mobility. Most
synarthrosis joints are fibrous joints (e.g., skull sutures).
amphiarthrosis – permits slight mobility. Most amphiarthrosis joints
are cartilaginous joints (e.g., intervertebral discs).
diarthrosis – freely movable. All diarthrosis joints
are synovial joints (e.g., shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, etc.),
and the terms "diarthrosis" and "synovial joint" are
considered equivalent by Terminologia Anatomica

92. Biomechanical classification
Joints can also be classified based on their anatomy or on
their biomechanical properties.
Simple joint: two articulation surfaces (e.g. shoulder
joint, hip joint)
Compound joint: three or more articulation surfaces
(e.g. radiocarpal joint)
Complex joint: two or more articulation surfaces and
an articular disc or meniscus (e.g. knee joint)
