The Skeletal

System

Axial Division

© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Introduction

• Basic Features

• Skeleton is divided into two sections

• Axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton

• There are 206 separate bones

• Axial skeleton consists of 80 bones

• Composed of bones along the central axis of the

body

• Appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones

Introduction

• Basic Features

• Axial skeleton

• Consists of:

• skull bones/auditory ossicles/hyoid/vertebral

column/thoracic cage

• Appendicular skeleton

• Consists of:

• limbs/pectoral girdle/pelvic girdle

Introduction

• Function 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 Skull and Associated Bones

• Cranial and Facial Subdivisions of the Skull

• The skull consists of

• Face

• Cranium

• Associated bones

• The face: 14 individual bones

• The cranium: 8 individual bones

• The associated bones: 7 individual bones
