Bones & its types
By,M. Thiru murugan
Define Bones & write its types
Bones:
Bone are specialized forms of strong connective tissue that forms the skeleton of the body.
It is composed of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.
It also serves as a storage area for calcium
The smallest bone in the human body is called the stirrup or stapes bone, located deep inside the ear & The longest bone & strongest bone in the human is called the femur.
Classification or types of bones:
Bones are divided into 5 types.
Long Bone
Short Bone
Flat Bone
Irregular Bone
Sesamoid Bone
1. Long Bone:
A long bone is one that is cylindrical in shape, being longer than it is wide.
Shape of a bone, not its size.
Long bones are found in: Arms (humerus, ulna, radius) & fingers (metacarpals, phalanges) and also Legs (femur, tibia, fibula), and toes (metatarsals, phalanges).
Long bones function as levers; they move when muscles contract.
2. Short bones:
cube-like in shape, equal in length, width, and thickness.
Example: Carpals of the wrists & Tarsals of the ankles.
Short bones provide stability and support as well as some limited motion.
3. Flat Bones:
The term “flat bone” is somewhat of a misnomer because, although a flat bone is typically thin, it is also often curved.
Examples include the cranial bones, the scapulae, the sternum, and the ribs.
Flat bones serve as points of attachment for muscles and often protect internal organs.
4. Irregular Bones:
An irregular bone is one that does not have any easily characterized shape and therefore does not fit any other classification.
These bones tend to have more complex shapes, like the vertebrae, Many facial bones, particularly the ones containing sinuses.
5. Sesamoid Bones:
A sesamoid bone is a small, round bone that, as the name suggests, is shaped like a sesame seed.
These bones form in tendons where a great deal of pressure is generated in a joint.
The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces.
Sesamoid bones vary in number and placement from person to person but are typically found in tendons associated with the feet, hands, and knees.
The patellae (singular = patella) are the only sesamoid bones found in common with every person.
The document provides an overview of the anatomy of the lower limb, organized by region. It describes the bones, muscles, nerves, arteries and other structures found in the lower limb. Key points include:
- There are 31 bones in the lower limb including the hip, femur, tibia, fibula and bones of the foot.
- The lower limb is divided into regions including the gluteal region, thigh, knee, leg, ankle and foot.
- The thigh contains the anterior compartment with quadriceps and hip flexors, and the medial compartment with adductor muscles.
- Major nerves include the femoral nerve to the anterior thigh and obturator nerve to the adductors. The
The knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the body. It consists of three joints: the medial and lateral condylar joints between the femur and tibia, and the patellofemoral joint between the femur and patella. The knee joint contains numerous ligaments that connect the femur, tibia, and patella, including the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, and medial and lateral menisci. The knee joint also contains bursae that reduce friction between bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments during movement.
The knee is the largest and most complicated joint in the human body. It consists of two condylar joints between the femur and tibia, as well as the patellofemoral joint. The stability of the knee relies primarily on soft tissues like ligaments rather than bony structure. The knee joint is divided into the medial and lateral compartments by the menisci. It contains several important ligaments like the ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL that provide stability. The muscles that act on the knee include the quadriceps, hamstrings, pes anserine group and iliotibial band.
The document describes the muscles of the thigh and gluteal region. It discusses:
1. The thigh region is divided into four compartments - anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral. The anterior compartment contains muscles that flex the hip and extend the knee. The medial compartment contains adductor muscles. The posterior compartment contains hamstring muscles that extend the hip and flex the knee.
2. The gluteal region contains the gluteal muscles - gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. It also contains smaller lateral rotator muscles.
3. Several important structures pass through openings in the pelvis. The sciatic nerve passes through the greater and lesser sciatic foramina.
The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the body. It has an upper end that connects to the hip bone, a shaft, and a lower end with two condyles. The upper end contains a head that articulates with the hip bone, a neck, and two trochanters. The shaft widens in the upper third and lower third. It has ridges and lines that muscles attach to. The lower end forms the knee joint with the tibia.
The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the body. It has an upper end that connects to the hip bone, a shaft, and a lower end with two condyles that connect to the tibia and patella. Key features include the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, linea aspera, medial and lateral epicondyles, and the intercondylar fossa between the condyles. The femur transmits body weight from the hip to the knee and provides attachments for muscles of the thigh.

Anatomy of the GLUTEAL REGION........ By Shapi.pdfShapi. MD
The gluteal region contains important muscles and structures. It is bounded superiorly by the iliac crest, medially by the intergluteal cleft, and inferiorly by the gluteal fold. The main muscles are the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle and extends the hip. The medius and minimus are important abductors of the hip. Other short rotator muscles include the piriformis, obturator internus, gemelli, and quadratus femoris. Major nerves are branches of the sacral plexus and vessels are branches of the internal iliac artery.

1. Hemoglobin:
• Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs of the body.
• It consists of four protein subunits, each containing a heme group with an iron atom that binds to oxygen.
• Hemoglobin also helps in the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
• The function of hemoglobin is vital for the body's oxygen transport system and overall metabolism.
2. Myoglobin:
• Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissues and serves as an oxygen reservoir for muscle cells.
• It contains a single heme group that binds to oxygen, similar to hemoglobin.
• Myoglobin stores oxygen in muscle cells and releases it when needed, helping in the supply of oxygen during muscle activity.
• This protein helps muscles sustain aerobic metabolism and endurance during physical activities.

pit, fovea capitis for
ligament of head
5. Femur
• Neck
• Trapezoidal in shape
• Is narrower near the
head
• Forms an angle of about
126 degrees with the
shaft, so it is a common
site of fractures.
• The angle of inclination
(angle measured b/n the
long axis of neck and
shaft) is less in females
because of wider pelvic
diameter
6. Clinical
• Normal: angle of
inclination between 120
and 135
• Coxa valga: if the angle
of inclination >135
degrees.
• coxa vara: if the angle of
inclination <120 degrees.

placing the person in the
prone position with the
knee flexed to relax the
popliteal fascia and
hamstrings
78. Popliteal vein

terminal branch of the
sciatic nerve
• In the fossa, the
tibial nerve gives
branches to the
