Skeletal System
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that are divided into the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum) and appendicular skeleton (limbs and their attaching girdles). Bones provide structure, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell formation, and are living tissues that undergo remodeling. The skeletal system includes various bone cell types and bone is composed of inorganic minerals and organic matrix. Common diseases include osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, and Paget's disease.

- 2. Bone • Bone isa strong and durable type of connective tissue, it consists of : • Water (25%) • Organic constituents including osteoid (the carbon containing part of the matrix) and bone cells (25%) • Inorganic constituents, mainly calcium phosphate (50%)
- 3. • Support- frameworkthat supports body and cradles its soft organs • Protection- for delicate organs, heart, lungs, brain • Movement- bones act as levers for muscles • Mineral storage- calcium & phosphate • Blood cell formation- hematopoesis
- 4. Parts ofthe skeletal system Bones (skeleton) Joints Cartilages Ligaments (bone to bone)(tendon=bone to muscle) Divided into two divisions Axial skeleton- skull, spinal column Appendicular skeleton – limbs and girdle
- 5. Divisions of theSkeletal System • The human skeleton consists of 206 named bones • Bones of the skeleton are grouped into two principal divisions: – Axial skeleton • Consists of the bones that lie around the longitudinal axis of the human body • Skull bones, auditory ossicles (ear bones), hyoid bone, ribs, sternum (breastbone), and bones of the vertebral column – Appendicular skeleton • Consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs (extremities), plus the bones forming the girdles that connect the limbs to the axial skeleton

- 7. • Long Bones-consists of a shaft & two extremities. Femur, humerus, ulna, radius, tibia, fibula • Short Bones- carpals, tarsals • Flat Bones- ribs, scapula, skull, sternum • Irregular Bones- vertebrae, some facial bones • Sesamoid- patella (knee cap)

Bone enclosed inperiosteum, which is continuous with tendons and ligaments, blood vessels in periosteum Epiphysis- ends, spongy bone contains red marrow, compact bone, articular cartilage Diaphysis- middle, compact bone, medullary cavity- contains yellow marrow (fat)lined with endosteum (squamous epithelium) Compact bone- osteocytes within lacunae arranged in concentric circles called lamellae This surround a central canal; complex is called Haversian system Canaliculi connect osteocytes to central canal and to each other
- 13. Microscopic Structure ofBone The skeleton has 206 bones Two basic types of bone tissue Compact bone Homogeneous Spongy bone Small needle-like pieces of bone Many open spaces
- 15. Types of BoneCells Osteocytes Mature bone cells. Osteoblasts Bone-forming cells that secrete collagen & other constituents of bone tissue. Osteoclasts Bone-destroying cells (resorption of bone) to maintain optimum shape. Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium Bone remodeling is a process by both osteoblasts and osteoclasts

- 20. Axial skeleton • Thispart consists of the skull, vertebral column, ribs & sternum. • Together the bones forming these structures constitute the central bony core of the body, the axis
- 22. Axial Skeleton- Skull Theskull rests on the upper end of the vertebral column and is divided into the cranium and the face. Cranium The cranium is formed by a number of flat and irregular bones that provides a bony protection for the brain. It has a base upon which the brain rests and a vault that covers and surround it. the periosteum inside the skull bones consists of the outer layer of dura matter. In mature skull the joints between the bones(sutures) are immovable. The bones have numerous perforations through which nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels pass.
- 23. Skull • Skull (cranium) •Consists of 22 bones • Bones of the skull are grouped into two categories: – Cranial bones • Eight cranial bones form the cranial cavity – Frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone – Facial bones • Fourteen facial bones form the face – Two nasal bones, two maxillae, two zygomatic bones, the mandible, two lacrimal bones, two palatine bones, two inferior nasal conchae, vomer
- 24. Skull • The cranialand facial bones protect and support special sense organs and the brain • Besides forming the large cranial cavity, the skull also forms several smaller cavities – Nasal cavity – Orbits (eye sockets) – Paranasal sinuses – Small cavities which house organs involved in hearing and equilibrium
- 25. Skull • Immovable jointscalled sutures fuse most of the skull bones together • The skull provides large areas of attachment for muscles that move various parts of the head • Skull and facial bones provide attachment for muscles that produce facial expressions • The facial bones form the framework of the face and provide support for the entrances to the digestive and respiratory systems
- 26. Skull (Cranial Bones) •Frontal Bone – Forms the forehead • Parietal Bones – Form the sides and roof of the cranial cavity • Temporal Bones – Form the lateral aspects and floor of the cranium • Occipital Bone – Forms the posterior part and most of the base of the cranium • Sphenoid Bone – Lies at the middle part of the base of the skull • Ethmoid Bone – Located on the midline in the anterior part of the cranial floor medial to the orbits – A major superior supporting structure of the nasal cavity – Contain thin projections called conchae which are lined by mucous membranes – Increased surface area in the nasal cavity helps to humidify inhaled air trapping inhaled particles
- 27. The bones ofthe cranium are 1 frontal bone 2 parietal bone 2 temporal bone 1 occipital bone 1 sphenoid bone 1 ethmoid bone

- 47. The Appendicular Skeleton •2 pairs of limbs and 2 girdles • Pectoral (shoulder) girdle attaches upper limbs • Pelvic (hip) girdle secures lower limbs • 3-Segmented limbs – Upper = arm • Arm • Forearm • Hand – Lower = leg • Thigh • Leg • Foot
- 49. Pectoral Girdle (Shoulder Girdle) • Clavicle– anterior: collar bone – Sternal end attaches to the manubrium medially – Acromial end articulates with the scapula laterally • Scapula – posterior: shoulder blade
- 50. Clavicle • Extend horizontallyacross the superior thorax • Sternal end articulates with the manubrium • Acromial end articulates with scapula • Provide attachment for muscles • Hold the scapulae and arms laterally • Transmit compression forces from the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
- 52. Scapulae • Lie onthe dorsal surface of the rib cage • Located between ribs 2 – 7 • Have three borders – Superior – Medial (vertebral) – Lateral (axillary) • Have three angles – Lateral, superior, and inferior

- 58. Arm • Region ofthe upper limb between the shoulder and elbow • Humerus – The only bone of the arm – Longest and strongest bone of the upper limb – Articulates with the scapula at the shoulder – Articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow – Many structures of the humerus provide sites for muscle attachment – Other structures of the humerus provide articulation sites for other bones
- 59. Structures of theHumerus of the Right Arm
- 60. Forearm • Formed fromthe radius and ulna • Proximal ends articulate with the humerus • Distal ends articulate with carpals • Radius and ulna articulate with each other – At the proximal and distal radioulnar joints • The interosseous membrane – Interconnects radius and ulna • In anatomical position – The radius is lateral and the ulna is medial

- 62. Ulna • Main boneresponsible for forming the elbow joint with the humerus • Hinge joint allows forearm to bend on arm • Distal end is separated from carpals by fibrocartilage • Plays little to no role in hand movement

- 65. Radius • Superior surfaceof the head of the radius articulates with the capitulum • Medially – the head of the radius articulates with the radial notch of the ulna • Contributes heavily to the wrist joint – Distal radius articulates with carpal bones – When radius moves, the hand moves with it
