Study Notes
Axial Skeleton Overview
- The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body.
- It includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.
Skull
- Composed of cranial and facial bones.
- Protects the brain.
- Forms the face.
Vertebral Column
- Composed of vertebrae, sacrum, and coccyx.
- Encases the spinal cord.
- About 24 individual vertebrae.
Thoracic Cage
- Composed of the sternum and ribs (12 pairs).
- Protects organs like the heart and lungs.
- Provides a protective casing for the brain, spinal cord, and thoracic organs.
Appendicular Skeleton Overview
- The appendicular skeleton comprises the bones of the upper and lower limbs, plus the pectoral and pelvic girdles.
- It connects the limbs to the axial skeleton.
Pectoral Girdle
- Composed of the clavicle and scapula.
- Connects the upper limbs to the torso.
Upper Limbs
- Includes the humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
- Responsible for movement and leverage.
Pelvic Girdle
- Formed by the hip bones (fused ilium, ischium, and pubis).
- Supports the lower limbs.
Lower Limbs
- Composed of the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
- Facilitates movement and provides stability.
