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
