Ch. 7 The Skeleton

Skeletal System

• Composed of bones, cartilage, joints, and ligaments

• Accounts for 20% of body mass• 30 lbs in a 160 lb person• Bones – most of skeleton• Cartilage – isolated areas – nose, parts of ribs,

joints• Ligaments – connect bones and reinforce joints• Joints – allow for motility

Axial Skeleton

• 80 bones segregated into 3 major regions• Skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage• Forms:

1. Longitudinal axis of body2. Supports head, neck, and trunk3. Protects brain, spinal cord, and organs of the

thorax

Skull

• Body’s most complex bone structure• Formed by cranial and facial bones – 22 in all• Cranium – cranial bones• Enclose and protect the brain• Attachment sites for head and neck muscles

Skull

• Facial Bones 1. Form framework of the face2. Contain cavities for special sense organs –

sight, taste, and smell3. Provide openings for air and food passage4. Secure the teeth5. Anchor facial muscles of expression

Skull

• Bones• Most are flat bones except for mandible• firmly united by interlocking joints – sutures• Major sutures –

1. Coronal2. Sagittal3. Squamous4. lambdoid

Skull - Overview

• Lopsided, hallow, bony sphere• Anterior – facial bones• Rest – cranium• Cranium – divided into vault and base• Cranial vault – calvaria – forms superior, lateral, and

posterior aspects• Cranial base or floor – inferior aspect - internal bony

ridges – anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae• Brian fits in snuggly

Skull - Overview

• Smaller cavities – – Middle and inferior ear– Nasal cavities and orbits

• 85 names openings – – Formina– Canals– Fissures, Etc.

• Passageway for spinal cord, blood vessels, and cranial nerves (I-XII)

Cranium

• 8 bones• 1. Frontal Bone – anterior cranium• Articulates posteriorly with paired parietal bones via – coronal

suture• Anterior part – vertical squamous part – forehead• Extends posteriorly forming superior walls of orbits and most

of anterior cranial fossa – supports frontal lobes of the brain• Subraorbital margin – pierced by supraorbital forman (notch)

which allows artery and nerve to pass to forehead• Smooth portion between orbits – glabella• Just inferior – meets nasal bones at frontonasal suture• Frontal sinuses

2. Parietal Bones• 2 large bones• Curved, rectangular bones form most of the superior

and lateral aspects• Bulk of the cranial vault• 4 largest sutures where parietal bones articulate

1. Coronal suture – parietal meets frontal2. Sagittal suture – parietals meets superiorly3. Lambboid suture – parietal meets occipital posteriorly4. Squamous suture – parietal and temporal meet at lateral

aspect

3. Occipital Bone• Internally – forms walls of posterior cranial fossa –

supports cerebellum• Base – foramen magnum – through which brain

connects with spinal cord• Flanked laterally by 2 occipital condyles – aciculate with

first vertebrae – permits nodding• Hypoglossal canal – cranial nerve XII passes• External occipital protuberance – median protrusion• Other ridges and crests mark bones

Abnormal Spinal Curvatures

• some present at birth• Others disease, poor posture, unequal muscle pull1. Scoliosis – “twisted disease” abnormal lateral curvature in the

thoracic region– Treated with braces or surgically

2. Kyphosis – hunchback– Dorsally exaggerate thoracic curvature– Common in elderly or from tuberculosis of spine, rickets, or

osteomalacia

3. Lordosis – swayback, accentuated lumbar curvature– Spinal tuberculosis or osteomalacia– Common in people with large belles, pregnant women

Ligaments

• Elaborate system of cable like supports• Strap like ligaments• Major – anterior and posterior longitudinal

ligaments• Run down back and front surfaces of

vertebrae• Posterior – prevents hyperextension

Intervertebral Discs

• Cushion like pad• 2 parts – inner gelatinous nucleus pulposus –

rubber ball – gives elasticity and compressibility

• Surrounded by – anucleus fibrosus – limits expansion when spine is compressed

• Woven strap• Withstands twisting and tension

Median section of three vertebrae, illustrating the composition of the discs and the ligaments

Intervertebral Discs

• Shock absorbers• Allow to spine to bend and flex• Thickest in lumbar region• 25 % of the height of the column• Flatten during day – slightly shorter at night• Sudden trauma – herniated disc – rupture of

anulus fibrosus and protrusion of nucleus pulposus• Treatment – heat, massage, exercise. • If not must remove protruding disc and fuse

vertebrae

Structure of Vertebral Column

• Vertebrae – body (centrum) and vertebral arch• Enclose opening – vertebral foramen• Successive vertebrae – vertebral canal = spinal cord• Vertebrae arch – pedicles and laminae• Pedicles – bony pillars on inside of arch• Laminae – flattened plates• Processes from arch – spinous process, transverse

process, superior and inferior articular arches

Regional Characteristics

• Variation among groups• Allow different functions and movements• General movements –

1. Flexion and extension – straightening of spine2. Lateral flexion – upper band right or left3. Rotation – rotation on long axis of spine

Ribs

• Increase in length – 1 7• Decrease in length – 8 12• Bowed flat bone• Bulk shaft – transverse process of vertebrae• Head, neck, and tubercle• 1st pair flattened superiorly horizontal table

Appendicular Skeleton

• Bones of limbs and their girdles• Appended to axial skeleton• Pectoral girdles – attach to upper limbs• Pelvic girdles – secure lower limbs• Limbs – same plane – 3 major segments

connected by moveable parts

Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle

• Clavicle and scapula• Girdle – usually signifies belt like structure – pectoral

does not• Girdles attach to upper limbs to axial skeleton and

provide attachment points for muscles• Light and allow motility1. Only clavicle attaches to axial skeleton – scapula

move freely2. Socket of shoulder – shallow and poorly reinforced,

does not restrict movement, good for flexibility, bad for stability

Clavicle - collarbones

• Slender, doublely curved bones• Cone shaped at medial sternal end• Flattened on lateral – acromial end• Anchor muscles• Braces – hold scapula and arms out laterally• Not very strong, likely to shatter • Fracture outward – protect subclavian artery• Sensitive to muscle pull• Larger and stronger in those who perform manual labor

or athletics

• Must be large enough to allow infants head to pass • False (greater) pelvis and true (lesser) pelvis1. False bound by alea of ilia – really part of abdomen –

helps support viscera2. True pelvis – region inferior to brim that is surrounded

by bone – deep bowl containing pelvic organs- Pelvic inlet – pelvic brim – labor – head enter inlet first- Then pelvic outlet

Comparison of Male and Female PelvesCharacteristic Female Male

Bone thickness Lighter, thinner, and smoother

Heavier, thicker, and more prominent markings

Pubic arch/angle 80˚– 90˚ 50˚– 60˚

Acetabula Small; farther apart Large; closer together

Sacrum Wider, shorter; sacral curvature is accentuated

Narrow, longer; sacral promontory more ventral

Coccyx More movable; straighter Less movable; curves ventrally

Lower Limb

• Carry entire weight of body• Subjected to exceptional force• Thicker and stronger than upper limbs

Thigh - Femur

• Single bone of thigh• Largest, longest, strongest bone in body• Clothed in bulky muscles• Articulates with hip bone and knee• Ball like head, neck, and shaft• Ends in wheel like lateral and medial condyles –

articulate with tibia• Patella – triangular seasmoid bone – enclosed in

quadriceps – tendon secures thigh muscles to tibia

Arch

• 3 arches – 2 longitudinal – medial and lateral and 1 transverse

• Maintained by bones, ligament, and pull of tendons• Provide springiness• Makes running and walking more economical in terms of

energy use• Medial – well above ground• Lateral – very low• Transverse – other way• Standing immobile – long periods – strain on tendons and

ligaments – flat feet
