Classifications of Bones
- According to position (axial and appendicular)
- According to shape (long, short, flat, irregular, pneumatic, and sesamoid bones)
- According to development (membrane, cartilaginous, and membrano-cartilaginous bones)
- According to structural classification (compact and cancellous/spongy bones)
Bone Cells
- Osteogenic cells: Stem cells that develop into osteoblasts
- Osteoblasts: Bone-forming cells
- Osteocytes: Maintain bone matrix
- Osteoclasts: Bone-resorbing cells
Comparison Between Compact and Spongy Bone
- Nature: Compact bone is heavy and compact; spongy bone is light and spongy.
- Bone Marrow Cavity: Compact bone has a bone marrow cavity; spongy bone does not.
- Area: Compact bone fills outer layer; spongy bone fills inner layer.
- Made of: Compact bone composed of osteons; spongy bone composed of trabeculae.
- Forms: Compact bone forms shaft; spongy bone forms ends of bones.
- Work: Compact bone provides strength and support, bone marrow stores fat; spongy bone provides support, and bone marrow produces blood cells.
Structure of the Spine
- Cervical Vertebrae (C₁-C₇)
- Thoracic Vertebrae (T₁-T₁₂)
- Lumbar Vertebrae (L₁-L₅)
- Sacrum (fused vertebrae)
- Coccyx (tailbone)
Thoracic Cage
- Ribs
- Thoracic Vertebrae
- Sternum
- Costal Cartilages
- 7 true ribs are directly attached to the sternum
- 3 false ribs are joined to the 7th rib
- 2 floating ribs
The Appendicular Skeleton
- Upper Limb: One bone (humerus), two bones (radius and ulna), three sets of bones (carpals, metacarpals, phalanges)
- Lower Limb: One bone (femur), two bones (tibia and fibula), three sets of bones (tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges)
- Pectoral Girdle: Scapula and clavicle
- Pelvic Girdle: Hip bones and sacrum
Carpal Bones
- Carpal bones include proximal row and distal row
- Proximal: (Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, and Pisiform) - (She Looks Too Pretty Try To Catch Her) -Distal row: (Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate)
- Consist of 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges
Types of Cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage: Supports, flexibility
- Elastic cartilage: Strength, elasticity, and flexibility
- Fibrocartilage: Support and withstand heavy pressure
Summary of Joint Classes
- Fibrous (immobile): Bone ends joined by connective tissue
- Cartilaginous (immobile or slightly moveable): Joined by cartilage
- Synovial (freely movable): Has a synovial fluid filled capsule and articular cartilage.
Classification of Muscles
- By Structure: Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
- By Control: Voluntary, Involuntary
- By Location: Head & Neck, Body Muscles, Upper Limb Muscles, Lower Limb Muscles
- By Fiber Arrangement: Parallel, Pennate, Convergent, and Circular
