THE SKELETAL SYSTEM G9
| Ribs
+ 12 pairs / 24 total
+ 11% and 12" pair are called ~~
floating ribs as they are not
attached to bone
The Skeletal System
* Parts of the skeletal system
* Bones (skeleton)
+ Joints
*Cartilages
+ Ligaments (bone to bone)
+ (tendon=bone to muscle)
APPENDICULAR,
AXIAL
SKELETON DIAGRAM, SKELETON DIAGRAM
Appendicular Skeleton
+ Composed of 126 bones in
the human body
+ Appendicular is an
adjective derived from the
noun appendage
* This means that these
structures are joined to
something larger
| Functions of Bones
+ 1. Support of the body
+ 2. Protection of soft organs
* 3. Movement due to attached skeletal
muscles
* 4. Storage of minerals and fats
* 5. Blood cell formation
Axial Skeleton
* Consists of 80 bones along
the central axis of the
human body
+ Itis composed of six parts;
the skull, the ossicles (in
middle ear), the hyoid
bone, the rib cage, the *"~
sternum, and the vertebral
column

Functions of Bones
+ 1, Support of the body
= Internal framework that supports the body and
cradles its soft organs
*+ 2. Protection of soft organs
— Ex, skull - brain, rib cage ~lungs and heart
Functions of Bones
+ 1. Support of the body
— Internal framework that supports the body and
cradles its soft organs
+ 2. Protection of soft organs
— Ex. skull — brain, rib cage — lungs and heart
Functions of Bones
+ 3. Movement due to attached skelétal muscles
— Skeletal muscles attached by tendons use the
bones as levers to move the body and its parts
+ 4, Storage of minerals and fats
Fat is stored in the internal cavities of bone
— Stores minerals such as calcium and phosphorus
Functions of Bones
* 5, Blood cell formation
— Hematopoiesis
— Occurs within the marrow cavities of certain
bones
Bones of the Human Body
* The skeleton has 206 bones
+ Two basic types of bone tissue
* Compact bone
+ Homogeneous ‘Spongy bone
= Spongy bone
* Small needle-like
pieces of bone
+ Many open spaces
Bone Marrow
Types of Bone Cells
+ Osteocytes
+ Mature bone cells
+ Osteoblasts
+ Bone-forming cells
* Osteoclasts
+ Bone-destroying cells,
+ Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release
of calciumBone Fractures The Vertebral Column
+ Abreak in a bone The human spinal
+ Types of bone fractures column is made up of
33 bones -
* Closed (simple) fracture — break that does not 7 vertebrae in the

+ Open (compound) fracture — broken bone the thoracic region, 5 in
penetrates through the skin. the lumbar region, 5 in
the sacral region and 4
“in the coceygeal region.
The Skull The Vertebral Column
+ Two sets of bones .
-7 cervical region,
*Cranium -12 thoracic region,
+ Facial bones -5 lumbar region
5 sacral region
* Bones are joined by sutures -4 coceygeal region.

| Bones of the Skull Inflammatory Conditions
Associated with Joints
+ Arthritis — inflammatory or degenerative
diseases of joints
The Vertebral Column Clinical Forms of Arthritis
* Vertebrae =e * Osteoarthritis
separated by = Most common chronic arthritis,
intervertebral discs + Probably related to normal aging processes
* Rheumatoid arthritis
= An autoimmune disease ~ the immune system
+ The spine has a
normal curvature
* Each vertebrae is attacks the joints
given aname + Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of
according to its certain joints
location + Often leads to deformitiesClinical Forms of Arthritis
* Gout Arthritis
+ Inflammation of joints is caused by a
deposition of uric acid crystals from the
blood
*Can usually be controlled with diet
| Names of some famous bones
* Knee — Patella
* Thigh — Femur
+ Ankle — Tarsal
* Fingers — Phalanges
+ Wrist — Carpals
* Upper arm — Humerus
+ Palm — Meta carpal
