    Study Notes

    Bone Structure

    • Haversian system or osteon: Contains concentric lamellae, a central canal with blood vessels and nerves, and lacunae with osteocytes.
    • Endosteum: Lines the medullary cavity, containing osteogenic cells that can differentiate into bone cells.
    • Periosteum: Tough fibrous membrane that surrounds the outer surface of the bone, responsible for bone growth and repair.
    • Bone matrix (lamellae):
      • Endosteal or inner circumferential lamellae: Located at the endosteum.
      • Haversian or concentric lamellae: Found within Haversian systems.
      • Interstitial lamellae: Located between Haversian systems.
      • Periosteal or outer circumferential lamellae: Located at the periosteum.

    Skeletal System Divisions

    • Axial skeleton: The central axis of the body, including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
    • Appendicular skeleton: Includes the girdles (pectoral and pelvic) and the upper and lower extremities.

    Bone Shape Classification

    • Long bones: Length is greater than width. Examples: bones of the upper arm, forearm, fingers, thigh, and leg.
    • Short bones: Roughly equal dimensions in all directions, round or cube-shaped. Examples: carpals and tarsals.
    • Flat bones: Compressed in one dimension, thin, flattened, and usually curved. Examples: ribs, scapula, cranium, and sternum.
    • Irregular bones: Unconventional shapes that do not fit into other categories. Examples: vertebrae, pelvic girdle, and facial bones.
    • Sesamoid bones: Found within tendons. Example: patella.

    Skeletal Terminology

    • Tubercle: Rounded projection.
    • Process: Sharp projection.
    • Foramen: Opening that allows nerves or blood vessels to pass through.
    • Sinuses: Air-filled cavities found in some skull bones.

    Axial Skeleton: Fontanels

    • Fontanels or soft spots: Membrane-covered spaces between developing skull bones that haven't ossified. They eventually fuse as the bones grow.
    • Closure: Typically close by the age of two years.

    Appendicular Skeleton: Pelvis

    • General comparison between males and females:
      • Males: More massive to accommodate weight and size of male body.
      • Females: Broader and larger pelvic inlet and outlet to facilitate childbirth.
    • Pelvic inlet / outlet:
      • Males: Heart-shaped inlet and outlet.
      • Females: Oval inlet and a broader outlet.
    • Subpubic angle:
      • Males: Less than 90 degrees.
      • Females: Greater than or equal to 90 degrees.

    Cross-Section of a Human Bone

    • Consists of the Haversian system (osteon)
    • Contains lamella: 4 types
      • Endosteal or inner circumferential: Located at the endosteum
      • Haversian or concentric: Within the Haversian systems
      • Interstitial: Found between Haversian systems
      • Periosteal or outer circumferential: Located at the periosteum

    Overview of Skeletal Anatomy

    • The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones
    • Two major divisions:
      • Axial: Longitudinal axis of the body including the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum
      • Appendicular: Contains girdles (pectoral and pelvic) and appendages (upper and lower extremities)

    Bone Shape Classification

    • Long bones
      • Longer than they are wide
      • Examples: Bones of the upper arm, forearm, fingers, thigh and leg
    • Short bones
      • Equal in all dimensions, round or nearly cube shaped
      • Examples: Carpal bones, tarsal bones
    • Flat bones
      • Compressed along one dimension, relatively thin and flattened; usually curved
      • Examples: Ribs, scapulae, sternum, cranium
    • Irregular bones
      • Shapes do not fit any other category
      • Examples: Vertebrae, pelvic girdle, facial bones
    • Sesamoid bones
      • Found within a tendon
      • Example: Patella

    Skeletal Terminology

    • Tubercle: Rounded projection
    • Process: Sharp projection
    • Foramen: Opening for nerves and blood vessels to pass through
    • Sinuses: Found in skull bones; contain air spaces

    Axial Skeleton: Fontanels

    • Fontanels (soft spots): Larger, membrane-covered spaces between the developing skull bones
    • These bones have not yet ossified
    • Bones eventually grow together
    • All fontanels usually close by 2 years of age

    Appendicular Skeleton: Pelvis

    • General:
      • More massive to accommodate greater body weight in males
      • Broader and larger pelvic inlet and outlet for childbirth in females
    • Pelvic inlet: Heart-shaped in males, oval in females
    • Pelvic outlet: Broader in females
    • Subpubic angle: < 90 degrees in males, ≥ 90 degrees in females
