SKELETAL
SYSTEM

Introduction to Human Skeletal System:
• Skeletal system is the system of bones, associated
cartilages and joints of human body. Together these
structures form the human skeleton.
• Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of
human body around which the entire body is built.
• Joints are very important because they make the
hard and rigid skeleton allow different types of
movements at different locations. If the skeleton
were without joints, no movement would have taken
place and the significance of human body; no more
than a stone.
Components of Human Skeleton:
1. Bones:
Bone is a tough and rigid form of connective tissue. It is
the weight bearing organ of human body and it is
responsible for almost all strength of human skeleton.
Types of Bones
1.LONG BONES
These bones typically have an elongated shaft
and two expanded ends one on either side of
the shaft. The shaft is known as diaphysis and
the ends are called epiphyses.
(cont.) Types of bones
2. SHORT BONES
These bones are short in
posture and can be of any
shape. Most of them are
named according to their
shape. In fact all the
carpal and tarsal bones
are included in this
category.
Carpal Bones

3. FLAT BONES
These bones are flat in
appearance and have two
prominent surfaces. They
resemble shallow plates
and form boundaries of
certain body cavities.
Examples include scapula,
ribs, sternum etc.
Scapula
(cont.) Types of bones
4. IRREGULAR
BONES
The shape of these bones
is completely irregular and
they do not fit into any
category of shape.
Examples of this type of
bones are vertebrae, hip
bone and bones in the
base of skull. Hip Bone
(cont.) Types of bones
5. SESAMOID
BONES
These are not like the
other types of bones
because they are in the
form of nodules
embedded in tendons and
joint capsules. Examples
of this type of bones are
patella, pisiform and
fabella. Patella
The Histology of Bone
Two types of Bone Tissue:
1. Compact or dense bone is strong and
solid.
2. Cancellous or spongy bone has many
open spaces filled with bone marrow.
(cont.)Components of Human Skeleton:
2. Cartilages:
Cartilage is also a form of connective tissue but
is not as tough and rigid as bone. The main
difference in the cartilage and bone is the
mineralization factor. Bones are highly
mineralized with calcium salts while cartilages
are not.
Types of cartilage
There are three types of
cartilage;
• Hyaline cartilage
• Fibrous cartilage
• Elastic cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
This type of cartilage has
very thin fibers having
same refractive index as
the matrix of the cartilage
and thus these fibers are
not seen. Hyaline cartilage
is the articular cartilage of
long bones, sternum, ribs
etc. Its color is bluish
white and it is flexible.
Fibrous cartilage
This type of cartilage
has numerous white
fibers. It is present in
the symphysis pubis,
and sternoclavicular
joint etc. Its color is
glistening white and
the appearance is
opaque.
Elastic cartilage
This type of cartilage has
numerous yellow elastic
fibers. It is present in the
ear pinna, external
auditory meatus,
Eustachian tubes, and
epiglottis etc. Its color is
yellowish and the
appearance is opaque.
(cont.)Components of Human Skeleton:
3. Joints:
Joints are important components of human
skeleton because they make the human skeleton
mobile. A joint occurs between “two or more
bones”, “bone and cartilage” and “cartilage and
cartilage”.
A typical Joint
Divisions of Human Skeleton:
Axial Skeleton:
Axial skeleton forms
the axis of human
body. It consists of
Skull, vertebral column
and thoracic cage.
Axial Skeleton
• Skull: Skull is that part of human skeleton that
forms the bony framework of the head.
• Vertebral Column: It is a flexible column of
vertebrae, connecting the trunk of human
body to the skull and appendages.
• Rib Cage: It is a bony cage enclosing vital
human organs formed by the sternum and
ribs.
Divisions of Human Skeleton:
Appendicular
Skeleton:
It is the skeleton of
appendages of human
body. It consists of
Shoulder girdle,
Skeleton of upper limb,
Pelvic girdle and
Skeleton of lower limb.
Appendicular Skeleton
• Shoulder Girdle: It attaches the upper limb to
body trunk and is formed by two bones:
clavicle and scapula.
• Skeleton of Upper limb: The skeleton of each
upper limb consists of 30 bones. These bones
are: Humerus, Ulna, Radius, Carpals (8),
Metacarpals (5), Phalanges (14).
Appendicular Skeleton
• Pelvic Girdle: There are two pelvic girdles (one
for each lower limb) but unlike the pectoral
girdles, they are jointed with each other at
symphysis pubis. Each pelvic girdle is a single
bone in adults and is made up of three
components.
• Skeleton of Lower limb: The skeleton of each
lower limb consists of 30 bones. These bones are;
Femur, Tibia, Patella, Tarsals (7), Metatarsals (5),
Phalanges (14).
Functions of human skeleton:
1. STRENGTH, SUPPORT AND SHAPE: It gives
strength, support and shape to the body. Without a
hard and rigid skeletal system, human body cannot
stand upright, and it will become just a bag of soft
tissues without any proper shape
2. PROTECTION OF DELICATE ORGANS: In areas like
the rib cage and skull, the skeleton protects inner
soft but vital organs like heart and brain from
external shocks. Any damage to these organs can
prove fatal, therefore protective function of
skeleton is very important
3. LEVERAGE FOR MOVEMENTS: Bones of the
human skeleton in all parts of body provide
attachment to the muscles. These muscles provide
motor power for producing movements of body
parts. In these movements the parts of skeleton
acts like levers of different types thus producing
movements according to the needs of the human
body.
4. PRODUCTION OF RED BLOOD CELLS: Bones like
the sternum, and heads of tibia have hemopoeitic
activity (blood cells production). These are the sites
of production of new blood cells.
