1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKELETONS

The three main types of skeletons are:

Hydrostatic skeletons (lack hard parts)Exoskeletons (external hard parts)Endoskeletons (internal hard parts)

Page 3: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

Hydrostatic Skeletons

A hydrostatic skeleton consists of fluid held under pressure in a closed body

This is the main type of skeleton in most cnidarians, flatworms, nematodes, and annelids

Annelids use their hydrostatic skeleton for peristalsis, a type of movement on land produced by rhythmic waves of muscle contractions.

Exoskeletons

An exoskeleton is a hard encasement deposited on the surface of an animal

Exoskeletons are found in most molluscs and arthropods

Arthropod exoskeletons are made of cuticle and can be both strong and flexible

The polysaccharide chitin is often found in arthropod cuticle

ENDOSKELETONS

An endoskeleton consists of hard supporting elements, such as bones, buried in soft tissue

Endoskeletons are found in sponges, echinoderms, and chordates

A mammalian skeleton has more than 200 bones

Some bones are fused; others are connected at joints by ligaments that allow freedom of movement.

2. THE HUMAN SKELETON

Page 11: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

a. AXIAL SKELETON: i)Human Skull Consist of 28 bones It consists of flat bones that are connected

on the sides by immovable joints called sutures.

In babies not all the bones of the skull make contact with each other and fontanels are formed.

The lower jaw bone (Mandible) is the only movable bone of the skull – Upper jaw (Maxilla) is not moveable.

The large opening at the base of the skull is called the foramen magnum – it is where the spinal cord enters the skull.

Page 12: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

Human Skull

Page 13: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

a. AXIAL SKELETON: ii)VERTEBRAL COLUMN Consists of 33 bones called vertebrae. 24 vertebrae are individual single bones. 9 vertebrae are fused to form the sacrum and

coccyx. Cartilage disks are found between vertebrae. The s-shaped structure of the vertebral column

and the disks absorb shock and help to protect the spinal cord.

The first vertebrae – Atlas – carry the weight of the skull, allows the head to nod.

2nd vertebrae – Axis – allows head to move to the side

Page 14: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

a. AXIAL SKELETON:ii) VERTEBRAL COLUMN

Vertebrae is divided into 7 Cervical vertebrae

12 Thoracic vertebrae

5 Lumbar vertebrae

5 fused vertebrae = sacrum

4 fused vertebrae = coccyx

Page 15: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

a. AXIAL SKELETON: iii) THORAX Consists of the sternum, 12 pairs of ribs and

thoracic vertebrae. It protects the heart and lungs. First 7 pairs of ribs are directly attached to the

sternum by cartilage – called true ribs. Next 5 pairs – false ribs – last 2 pairs of false

ribs are not attached to the sternum – called floating ribs

Intercostal muscles found between ribs – aid in breathing process.

Made up of the shoulder (pectoral girdle), arms, hips (pelvic girdle) and legs.

3. FUNCTIONS OF A SKELETON

Support Movement Protection Blood cell production Storage Endocrine regulation

Page 21: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

a. Support

The skeleton provides the framework which supports the body and maintains its shape.

The pelvis, associated ligaments and muscles provide a floor for the pelvic structures.

Without the ribs, costal cartilages, and intercostal muscles, the heart would collapse.

Page 22: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

b. MOVEMENT

The joints between bones permit movement.

Movement is powered by skeletal muscles, which are attached to the skeleton at various sites on bones.

Muscles, bones, and joints provide the principal mechanics for movement, all coordinated by the nervous system.

Page 23: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

c. Protection

The skeleton protects many vital organs e.g.:

The skull protects the brain, the eyes, and the middle and inner ears.

The vertebrae protects the spinal cord.

The rib cage, spine, and sternum protect the lungs, heart and major blood vessels.

Page 24: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

d. Blood cell production

• The skeleton is the site of haematopoiesis, which takes place in red bone marrow.

• Haematopoiesisis the formation of blood cellular components.

Page 25: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

e. Storage

• Bone matrix can store calcium and is involved in calcium metabolism.

• The bone marrow can store iron and is involved in iron metabolism.

• Bones are not entirely made of calcium, but a mixture of chondroitin sulfate and hydroxyapatite, the latter making up 70% of a bone.

Page 26: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

f. Endocrine regulation

• Bone cells release a hormone called osteocalcin, which contributes to the regulation of blood sugar (glucose) and fat deposition.

• Osteocalcin increases both the insulin secretion and sensitivity.

4. STRUCTURE OF A LONG BONE

A long bone is an elongated bone consisting of a body (diaphysis) and

two terminal parts (epiphyses), such as found in the leg and arm bones (femur, radius, phalanges

and others).

5. DIFFERENT JOINTS In the human body, there are joints

where two or more bones meet in the skeleton.

Immovable joints do not allow movement and

Synovial joints are movevable joints and allow movement of the bones.

Ligaments hold bones together. Tendons attach muscle to bone,.

Page 30: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

STRUCTURE OF A SYNOVIAL JOINT

Page 31: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

Different types of synavial joints are:• Ball and socket joint• Hinge joint• Pivot joint• Gliding joint

Page 32: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

BALL AND SOCKET JOINT:• Joints of the hips and shoulders• Allows rotating movement of arms

and legs

Page 33: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

HINGE JOINT:• Joints of the elbows, knees, fingers

and toes• Only allows movement in one

direction.

Page 34: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

PIVOT JOINT:• Joints between atlas and axis• One bone turns on another

Page 35: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

GLIDING JOINT:• Joints of the wrist and ankles• The flat surface of one bone glides

over the surface of a bone next to it.

Page 36: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

JOINT DISORDERSDo research (self study) on the following disorders, you have to be able to briefly explain what each of them are (will not be marked but there will be question in the exam and semester test about it)

Dislocation Sprains Arthritis Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid arthritis

6. MACRO STRUCTURE OF SKELETAL MUSCLES

Epimysium: Surrounds entire muscle Perimysium: Surrounds bundles of

muscle fibres (Fascicles) Endomysium: Surrounds individual

muscle fibres

Page 38: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

6. STRUCTURE OF SKELETAL MUSCLES

Page 39: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

MICRO STRUCTURE OF SKELETAL MUSCLES

Sarcolemma: Muscle cell membrane Myofibrils: Threadlike strands within

muscle fibres Actin (thin filament) Myosin (thick filament)

Page 40: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals
Page 41: Ls2 afet unit 6 support systems in animals

SKELETAL MUSCLES Muscles are attached to bones by

means of tendons. Skeletal muscles produce movement

by contracting. This exerts a force on tendons, which

in return, pulls on bones. Muscles occur in pairs which work

antagonistic against each other. When one contracts the other relaxes.
