Study Notes
Introduction to the Skeletal System
- The skeletal system provides support and protection for the body's soft tissues
- It is both internal (endoskeleton) and external (exoskeleton)
- The endoskeleton includes the skull, ribs, limbs, and girdles
- Axial skeleton includes parts like skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum
- Appendicular skeleton includes limbs and girdles
The Skull
- The skull is the anterior part of the axial skeleton
- It encloses the brain and sense organs
- It supports the nose and mouth
- Provides facial characteristics
- 29 bones in the skull overall
- 8 bones form the cranium
- 14 bones form the face
- 6 form the ear ossicles
- 1 is the hyoid bone
- Cranium is made of 1 frontal, 2 parietals, 2 temporals, 1 occipital, 1 sphenoid and 1 ethmoid
- Facial bones include zygomatic, maxilla, nasals, lacrimals, vomer, and mandible plus 2 turbinals
- The single frontal bone and 2 turbinals are present in both the face and cranium
