    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.
