Study Notes
Parts of the Skeletal System
- Comprises bones, joints, cartilages, and ligaments.
- Divided into two main subdivisions:
- Axial skeleton
- Appendicular skeleton
Functions of the Bones
- Provides structural support to the body.
- Protects vital organs, including:
- Skull and vertebrae safeguard the brain and spinal cord.
- Rib cage shields thoracic cavity organs.
- Facilitates movement via attachment to skeletal muscles.
- Acts as a reservoir for minerals and fats:
- Stores calcium and phosphorus.
- Fat is stored in the internal marrow cavity.
- Engages in blood cell production (hematopoiesis).
Classification of Bones
- Adult skeleton consists of 206 bones.
- Two primary types of bone tissue:
- Compact bone: Dense, smooth, and homogeneous.
- Spongy bone: Composed of small, needlelike pieces with many open spaces.
Shape-Based Classification of Bones
- Bones are categorized into four groups based on their shape:
- Long bones
- Flat bones
- Short bones
- Irregular bones
Bone Structure
- Flat bones feature a layer of spongy bone situated between two thin layers of compact bone.
