Study Notes
Functions of Bones
- Provide framework for the body
- Offer protection for vital organs
- Serve as levers for movement
- Produce blood cells within bone marrow
- Store minerals and energy reserves
Bones of the Cranium
- Comprised of eight bones:
- One frontal bone
- Two parietal bones
- Two temporal bones
- One occipital bone
- One ethmoid bone
- One sphenoid bone
Vertebral Column
- Consists of twenty-six vertebrae:
- Seven cervical vertebrae
- Twelve thoracic vertebrae
- Five lumbar vertebrae
- One sacrum
- One tailbone (coccyx)
Rib Classification
- True ribs: attach directly to the sternum
- False ribs: connect to the sternum via cartilage
- Floating ribs: do not attach to the sternum or cartilage
Xiphoid Process
- The small piece of cartilage located at the bottom of the sternum
Os Coxae Regions
- Each os coxae has three regions:
- Ilium
- Ischium
- Pubis
Types of Joints
- Diarthrosis: freely movable joints (e.g., ball-and-socket joints of shoulder and hip)
- Amphiarthrosis: slightly movable joints (e.g., ribs)
- Synarthrosis: immovable joints (e.g., joints of the cranium)
Function of Ligaments
- Ligaments connect long bones at joints, providing stability
Joint Conditions
- Arthritis: inflammation of the joints
- Osteomyelitis: inflammatory condition of the bone caused by pathogens
- Osteoporosis: metabolic disorder leading to decreased bone density due to hormone deficiency or calcium lack
- Sprain: injury caused by twisting action that tears ligaments at a joint
- Bursitis: inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints
- Dislocation: displacement of a bone from its joint
Spinal Conditions
- Scoliosis: abnormal lateral curvature of the spine
