Study Notes
Cross Section of Human Bone
- The Haversian System (osteon) is the functional unit of compact bone.
- Bone matrix (lamella) is arranged in four types:
- Endosteal: Found on the endosteum
- Haversian: Found within Haversian Systems
- Interstitial: Found between Haversian systems
- Periosteal: Found on the periosteum
Overview of Skeletal Anatomy
- There are 206 bones in the adult human skeleton.
- Two main divisions:
- Axial: Skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
- Appendicular: Pectoral and pelvic girdles, upper and lower extremities
Classification of Bone Shape
- Long bones: Longer than they are wide
- Example: Bones of the upper arm, forearm, fingers, thigh, and leg
- Short bones: More or less equal in all dimensions.
- Example: Carpal and Tarsal Bones
- Flat bones: Thin, flattened shape, usually curved
- Example: Ribs, Scapulae, Cranium, Sternum
- Irregular bones: Shapes do not fit into other categories
- Example: Vertebrae, pelvic girdle, facial bones -Sesamoid bones: Located within a tendon
- Example: Patella
Skeletal Terminology
- Tubercle: Rounded projection
- Process: Sharp projection
- Foramen: Opening through which a nerve or blood vessel passes
- Sinuses: Found in some skull bones and contain air spaces
Axial Skeleton: Fontanels
- Larger membrane-covered spaces found between developing skull bones
- These fontanels usually close by two years of age.
Appendicular Skeleton: Pelvis
- Male pelvis: More massive to accommodate weight and size
- Female pelvis: Broader with a larger pelvic inlet and outlet for childbirth
- Pelvic Inlet: Heart-shaped in males, oval in females
- Pelvic Outlet: Broader in females
- Subpubic Angle: Less than 90 degrees in males, equal to or greater than 90 degrees in females
Skeletal System Overview
- The adult human skeleton is composed of 206 bones, with 2 main divisions: Axial and Appendicular
- Axial Skeleton includes:
- Skull (cranial and facial bones)
- Vertebral Column
- Ribs
- Sternum
- Appendicular Skeleton includes:
- Girdles (Pectoral and Pelvic)
- Appendages (upper and lower extremities)
Bone Structure and Classification
- Cross-Section of Human Bone:
- Contains the Haversian system (osteon), a structural unit of compact bone, responsible for nutrient and waste transport.
- Endosteum: Thin membrane lining the medullary cavity of bone
- Periosteum: Dense, fibrous membrane covering the external surface of bone, providing nourishment and facilitating bone repair.
- Bone Matrix (Lamella): Consists of collagen fibers and mineral salts, mainly calcium phosphate
- Types of Lamella: Endosteal, Haversian, Interstitial, and Periosteal
- Classification of Bone Shape:
- Long Bones: Longer than they are wide, e.g., bones of the limbs (upper arm, thigh, leg)
- Short Bones: Similar dimensions in length and width, e.g., carpal bones, tarsal bones.
- Flat Bones: Thin, flattened shape, often curved, e.g., ribs, skull bones, scapula, sternum
- Irregular Bones: Complex shape, e.g., vertebrae, facial bones.
- Sesamoid Bones: Found within tendons, e.g., patella.
Bone Markings
- Tubercle: Rounded projection
- Process: Sharp projection
- Foramen: Opening allowing passage for nerves or blood vessels
- Sinuses: Air-filled spaces within some skull bones.
Axial Skeleton: Fontanels
- Fontanels (Soft Spots): Membrane-covered spaces between developing skull bones, providing flexibility during childbirth.
- These spaces gradually close due to ossification and fuse together.
- All fontanels usually close by 2 years of age.
Appendicular Skeleton: Pelvis
- Differences in male and female pelvis:
- Male: More massive, broader, larger pelvic inlet and outlet
- Female: Designed for childbirth, with a wider, oval pelvic inlet and outlet, and a subpubic angle greater than 90 degrees.
