Study Notes
Skeletal System Functions
- The skeletal system provides support, protection, and movement for the body.
Types of Bones
- Short bones are approximately as broad as they are long.
- Irregular bones have shapes that do not fit into the categories of long, short, or flat bones.
Long Bone Anatomy
- The diaphysis is the shaft of long bones.
- The epiphyses are located at the ends of the bone and may likely be surrounded by articular cartilage if it articulates with another bone.
Bone Structures
- Foramina are openings in bones that allow for the passage of nerves and blood vessels.
- The vertebral foramen is a triangular opening in the vertebrae.
Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones.
- The cervical vertebrae have a wider transverse body and a triangular vertebral foramen.
Sternum
- The xiphoid process is the sword-shaped lower part of the sternum, composed of three parts.
Upper Limb
- The scapula is the bone that forms the shoulder girdle and has a coracoid process for muscle attachments.
- The forearm consists of two long bones.
- The carpal bones are a group of eight short bones in the wrist.
Vertebral Column
- The lumbar region has a normal curvature known as lumbar lordosis.
- The cervical vertebrae are characterized by small bodies, bifid spinous processes, and transverse foramina.
Scapula
- The glenoid cavity is a structure located in the superior lateral portion of the scapula and articulates with the head of the humerus.
- The coracoid process is attached to some shoulder and arm muscles via the scapula.
