Introduction
• The axial skeleton:
• Composed of bones along the central axis of
the body
• Divided into three regions:
• Skull
• Vertebral column
• Thoracic cage

Introduction
• Functional anatomy of the axial skeleton:
• Framework that supports and protects organs in the
dorsal and ventral body cavities
• Protects special sense organs for taste, smell,
hearing, balance, and vision
• Attachment sites for muscles that:
• Adjust the posture of the head, neck, and trunk
• Move the thoracic cage for respiration
• Stabilize the appendicular skeleton
• The connection between axial and appendicular skeleton in
the upper body is sternum-clavicle.

 Bones of the Cranium
 The cranial cavity is a fluid-filled chamber that supports and
protects the brain. It is made up of the
 Occipital: foramen magnum, hypoglossal canal, occipital
condyle.
 Parietal (2): coronal, lambdoid and sagittal surures.
 Frontal: supraorbital foramen, supraorbital arch, glabella,
frontal sinus.
 Temporal (2): squamous portion, petrose portion, mastoid
process, styloid process, external acoustic meatus.
 Sphenoid: sella turcica, clinoid process, optic groove,
dorsum sellae, pterigoid process.
 Ethmoid: perforating panel, crista galli, perpendicular plate,
ethmoid sinuses, superior portion of nasal septum.

The Nasal Complex
 Paranasal sinuses are the interconnected
hollow spaces inside the frontal, ethmoid,
sphenoid, and maxillary bones.
 These spaces reduce the weight of the skull,
produce mucus, and allow air to resonate for
voice production.
 These paranasal sinuses are called the frontal
sinus, maxillary sinus, sphenoidal sinus, and
the ethmoidal air cells.

SPINAL CURVES VERTEBRAL REGIONS
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Vertebral Column
Spinal Curves
Primary curves/accommodation curves are the
posteriorly sweeping curves of the thoracic and sacral
regions.
These curves develop before birth to allow the
abdominopelvic viscera more room.
Secondary curves/compensation curves develop in the
infant and toddler as anteriorly sweeping curves of the
cervical and lumbar regions.
These curves develop as the infant learns to hold up
his or her head (cervical) and begins to walk (lumbar).

• Vertebral Processes (Cervical Vertebrae)
• Vertebral body
• Vertebral foramen
• Spinous process
• Transverse process
• Transverse foramen
• Lamina
• Pedicle
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Vertebral Column
 Cervical Vertebrae
 7 total cervical vertebrae are the smallest, most
superior vertebrae.
 The spinous processes are relatively stumpy and may
be split, resulting in a bifid process.
 Costal processes are extra extensions of bone from
the ventrolateral body that attach to the transverse
processes.
 Transverse foramina result from the hole between the
costal process and the transverse process.

The Atlas (C1)
The atlas has no body and articulates cranially
with the occipital condyles.
The articulations with the occipital condyles
allow one to shake his or her head “yes.”
The atlas has two arches—the anterior and
posterior vertebral arches.
Superior and inferior articular facets do not
extend beyond the arches.

The Axis (C2)
The body of the atlas fuses with the body
of the axis during development to form the
dens (odontoid process).
Because of the dens, there is no
intervertebral disc.
The articulation between the atlas and
axis allows one to shake his or her head
“no.”

The vertebral column
Vertebra Prominens (C7)
 The last cervical vertebrae, and therefore
resembles the thoracic vertebra in structure
 This vertebra has a long, slender spinous
process, and enlarged transverse processes
that may or may not contain a transverse
foramen.
 An elastic ligament called the ligamentum
nuchae extends from the spinous process
cranially to the occipital crest.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Vertebral column
 Thoracic Vertebrae
 12 total thoracic vertebrae make up the posterior of
the rib cage.
 The bodies of the thoracic vertebrae have a heart
shape.
 The spinous process is long and slender and points
on a posterocaudal angle.
 The transverse processes point dorsolateral.
 The thoracic vertebrae articulate with ribs and
therefore contain extra facets.

 Lumbar Vertebrae
 5 total lumbar vertebrae are the largest vertebrae, and they
make up the lower back region.
 The body of lumbar vertebrae is very thick and oval
shaped.
 The relatively small vertebral foramen is triangular.
 The transverse processes point more laterally than the
thoracic vertebrae.
 The spinous process resembles a tail fin of a fish, stumpy
and flattened.

The Thoracic Cage
 The Thoracic cage has two functions:
 Made of sternum, 12 pairs of ribs and 12 thoracic vertebrae.
 Sternum is made of:
 Manubrium
 Body
 Xiphoid process
 12 pairs of ribs:
 1-7 are true ribs: attach to the sternum by separate cartilaginous extensions.
 8-10 are false ribs: attach to the sternum by one shared cartilaginous extension.
 11-12 are floating ribs: not attached to the sternum.
 Function:
 It protects the heart, lungs, thymus, and other structures within the cavity.
 It serves as the attachment site for muscles involved in
 Respiration
 Positioning the vertebral column
 Movements of the pectoral girdle and upper limb

  • 2. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Introduction • The axial skeleton: • Composed of bones along the central axis of the body • Divided into three regions: • Skull • Vertebral column • Thoracic cage

  • 4. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Introduction • Functional anatomy of the axial skeleton: • Framework that supports and protects organs in the dorsal and ventral body cavities • Protects special sense organs for taste, smell, hearing, balance, and vision • Attachment sites for muscles that: • Adjust the posture of the head, neck, and trunk • Move the thoracic cage for respiration • Stabilize the appendicular skeleton • The connection between axial and appendicular skeleton in the upper body is sternum-clavicle.
