Classification of Bones
•Irregular bones
•Irregular shape
•Do not fit into other
bone classification
categories
•Example: Vertebrae
and hip
Gross Anatomy of a Bone
•Diaphysis
•Shaft
•Composed of compact
bone
•Epiphysis
•Ends of the bone
•Composed mostly of
spongy bone
Structure of a Long Bone
•Periosteum
•Outside covering of the
diaphysis
•Fibrous connective tissue
membrane
Serves as an attachment for
muscle
•Arteries
•Supply bone cells with
nutrients
Structure of a Long Bone
•Articular cartilage
•Covers the external
surface of the
epiphyses
•Made of hyaline
cartilage
•Decreases friction at
joint surfaces
Structure of a Long Bone
•Medullary cavity
•Cavity of the shaft
•Contains yellow
marrow (mostly fat) in
adults
•Contains red marrow
(for blood cell
formation) in infants
Changes in the Human Skeleton
• In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline
cartilage
• During development, much of this cartilage
is replaced by bone
• Cartilage remains in isolated areas
• Bridge of the nose
• Parts of ribs
• Joints
Bone Growth
• Epiphyseal plates allow for growth of
long bone during childhood
• New cartilage is continuously formed
• Older cartilage becomes ossified
• Cartilage is broken down
• Bone replaces cartilage
Bone Growth
• Bones are remodeled and lengthened until growth
stops
• Grow longitudinally for height
• Bones grow in width to support weight
Epiphyseal Disc
•Growth plate
•The cartilage near the
epiphyseal disc multiplies
and eventually becomes
ossified (turns to bone)
•As long as new cartilage
continues to form the bone
continues to lengthen.
Epiphyseal Disc (cont.)
•When the growth plate hardens
and becomes ossified, growth
stops
•Hormones play a big part in this
•Growth hormone stimulates
growth
•Sex hormones stop growth
Bone Width
•8 bones
•Frontal Bone -forehead/upper
part of the bony structure
surrounding the eyes.
The Cranium
•14 bones
•Most of these bones come in pairs
•Only the mandible and vomer are
single bones
Facial Bones
•Mandible ~ the lower jaw bone
•Carries the lower teeth
•The anterior portion forms the
chin
•Only freely movable joint in the
skull
Facial Bones
•Maxilla (2) ~ Upper jaw
•Two bones fused together
•Roof of the mouth
•Also form parts of the nasal cavity and
eye orbits
Facial Bones
•Palantine Bones (2) ~ form the posterior
part of the hard palate and the floor of
the nasal cavity.
•Failure of the palatine and/or
maxillary bones to fuse causes a cleft
palate.
The Facial Bones
•Zygomatic Bones (2) ~ the cheekbones
•Also forms a part of the orbits of the
eyes
Facial Bones
• Serves as a moveable
base for the tongue Figure 5.12
Hyoid Bone
Middle Ear
•3 Tiny bones ~
transmit vibrations
•All derived from
Latin words
•Malleus (hammer)
•Incus (anvil)
•Stapes (stirrup)
• Smallest bone in
the body
Middle Ear and Hyoid Bones
•That’s it!
•The backbone
or spine
•Consists of 26
bones called
vertebrae
The Vertebral
Column
• Vertebrae separated by
intervertebral discs (act as
shock absorbers)
• The spine has a normal
curvature
• Each vertebrae is given a
name according to its
location
•C1-C7 ~ in the neck
region
• 7 cervical vertebrae
•T1-T12 ~ located in
the chest region
• 12 thoracic vertebrae
•L1-L5 ~ located in
the lower back
• 5 lumbar vertebrae
•Sacrum ~ curved
bone of the lower
back (posterior wall
of the pelvis)
•fused sacral
vertebrae
• 5 vertebrae at birth
•Coccyx ~ the tailbone
• 4 vertebrae at birth
Vertebral Column
•The vertebrae
become larger as the
vertebral column
descends…..WHY?
•Vertebral foramen ~
opening for spinal
cord.
•What is the opening
for the spinal cord in
the skull called?
Vertebral Column
•154 bones
- 24 ribs -1
sternum =
129 bones

The Appendicular Skeleton
• Limbs (appendages)
• Pectoral (shoulder) girdle
• Pelvic girdle

The Pectoral
(Shoulder) Girdle
• Composed of two bones
• Clavicle – collarbone
• Scapula – shoulder blade
• These bones allow the
upper limb to have
exceptionally free
movement
Bones of the Shoulder Girdle
Bones of the Upper Limb
• The arm is
formed by a
single bone
• Humerus
• Head of
humerus
allows for
rotation
Figure 5.21a, b
Bones of the Upper Limb
• The forearm
has two bones
• Ulna
• Radius
Radius
•Radius ~ locate
on the lateral
or thumb side
when the palm
of the hand is
facing forward.
Ulna
•Ulna~ the longer
of the two
forearm bones.
•Located on the
medial or little
finger side of the
forearm.
Bones of the Upper Limb
• The hand
• Carpals – wrist
• Metacarpals –
palm
• Phalanges –
fingers
Figure 5.22
Bones of the Pelvic Girdle
• Composed of two coxal bones (hip bones)
• Composed of three pair of fused bones
• Ilium
• Ischium
• Pubis
• The total weight of the upper body rests on the
pelvis

Synovial Joints
• Articulating
bones are
separated by a
joint cavity
• Synovial fluid
is found in the
joint cavity
• Reinforced by
ligaments
6 Types of Synovial Joints
•Hinge joint
•Movement is like two boards
joined together by a hinge
•Movement in one direction
•Elbow, knees, fingers
•Ball and Socket
Joint
•When ball-shaped
end of one bone
fits into the cup-
shaped socket of
another
•Bones can move in
many directions
•Shoulder, hip
•Pivot Joint
•Allows for rotation
around the length of a
bone.
•Allows only for
rotation
•Head (side to side
“no” action)
•Forearm joints (palms)
supination/pronation
•Saddle Joint
• When the surfaces
of both articulation
bones are saddle-
shaped
• Concave/convex
• Thumb
• Wide range of
motion
•Gliding Joint
•Interaction of
flat surfaces of
articulating
bones
•Limited but
complex
movement
•Wrist, ankle
•Condyloid Joint
• Oval-shaped
articular surface
of one bone fits
into the oval-
shaped
depression of
another
• Mandible,
knuckles
