Study Notes
Axial Skeleton Overview
- The axial skeleton includes bones of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, thoracic cage, and middle ear bones, and lies along the body’s midline.
Skull Anatomy
- Comprised of the cranium and facial bones, it protects the brain.
- Features immovable joints known as sutures.
- The cranium consists of eight bones: frontal (1), parietal (2), occipital (1), temporal (2), sphenoid (1), and ethmoid (1).
Sphenoid and Ethmoid Bones
-
Sphenoid Bone:
- Bat or butterfly-shaped, forms the base of the cranium.
- Supports the pituitary gland via the sella turcica and contains sphenoidal sinuses.
-
Ethmoid Bone:
- Comprises the roof and walls of the nasal cavity.
- Contains ethmoidal sinuses and contributes to the structure of the orbits.
Sinuses
- Air-filled spaces within bones lined by mucous membranes.
- Serve to reduce skull weight and provide voice resonance.
- Major paranasal sinuses include maxillary, frontal, sphenoidal, and ethmoidal.
Facial Bones
- Comprised of several bones including maxillae, palatine, zygomatic, lacrimal, nasal, vomer, inferior nasal conchae, and mandible.
Hyoid Bone
- Located superior to the larynx, it is the only bone not articulating with another.
- Anchors the tongue and serves as an attachment site for swallowing muscles.
Vertebral Column
- Provides support for the rib cage and serves as an attachment for the pelvic girdle, protecting the spinal cord.
- Contains 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (fused), and 3-5 coccygeal vertebrae (fused to form coccyx).
Vertebrae Structure
- Composed of body, vertebral foramen, and bony projections for muscle attachment.
- Unique cervical vertebrae include atlas (C1) for head support and axis (C2) for head rotation.
Rib Cage
- Protects heart and lungs and supports the pectoral girdle.
- Composed of 12 pairs of ribs; true ribs (7 pairs attached directly to the sternum) and false ribs (5 pairs, including floating ribs).
- Sternum consists of manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
Appendicular Skeleton
- Divided into pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, and lower limbs.
Upper Limb Anatomy
- Humerus: Arm's long bone, articulates with scapula.
- Radius: Lateral forearm bone, involved in elbow function.
- Ulna: Longer bone of the forearm, articulates with humerus at the elbow.
Foot Anatomy
- Comprised of seven tarsal bones, five metatarsal bones, and phalanges.
- Talus enables movement; calcaneus supports body weight.
Long Bone Structure
- Features periosteum, epiphysis, diaphysis, medullary cavity, articular cartilage, and endosteum.
- Structural unit is the Haversian system or osteon, essential for nutrient transport.
Bone Growth and Remodeling
- Epiphyseal Growth: Occurs at the growth plate until ossification.
- Appositional Growth: Increases bone diameter.
- Remodeling involves osteoclasts (bone resorption) and osteoblasts (bone formation), regulated by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and growth hormone.
Bone Repair Process
- Involves hematoma formation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and remodeling.
Joint Movements
- Includes angular movements (flexion, extension) and circular movements (circumduction, rotation).
Disorders of Bones and Joints
- Common issues: dislocations, sprains, strains, osteoporosis, tendinitis, rickets, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.
- Manifestations vary, including pain, swelling, and mobility issues.
Functions of the Skeletal System
- Protects organs, assists respiration, stores and releases calcium, supports immunity, aids digestion, and facilitates locomotion.
