Study Notes
Axial Skeleton
- Composed of cranium (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid) and facial bones (maxillae, mandible, zygomatic, vomer, palatine, inferior nasal concha, lacrimal, nasal)
- Includes hyoid bone and teeth
- Consists of vertebral column (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx) and thorax (sternum, ribs)
Appendicular Skeleton
- Contains pectoral girdle (clavicle, scapula), upper extremity (humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges), pelvic girdle (ilium, ischium, pubis), and lower extremity (femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges)
Pectoral Girdle
- Formed by clavicle (anterior) and scapula (posterior)
- Pectoral girdles do not connect to the vertebral column and are supported by large muscles extending from the vertebral column and rib cage
Functions of the Pectoral Girdle
- Attach free upper limbs to the axial skeleton, facilitating movement and support
Major Bone Markings of Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb
- Key markings include acromion, coracoid process, subscapular fossa, superior angle, superior border, and scapular notch
Bones of the Upper Limb
- Includes ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges, with specific articulations at joints facilitating movement
Pelvic Girdle Articulations
- Hip bones join at the pubic symphysis anteriorly
- Unite with the sacrum at the sacroiliac joints posteriorly
Functions of the Pelvic Girdle
- Provides strong, stable support for the vertebral column, pelvic, and abdominal organs
- Connects free lower limb bones to the axial skeleton and transfers forces during locomotion
Comparison of Male and Female Pelves
- Female pelvis is light, thin, and has an oval obturator foramen and wide pelvic brim; pubic arch forms an angle greater than 90 degrees
- Male pelvis is heavy, thin, with a round obturator foramen and narrow, heart-shaped pelvic brim; pubic arch forms a smaller angle
