    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.

    Formative Assessment (Answer Key)

    • Question 1: The view is anterior. This applies to multiple diagrams but the question needs more context to accurately link to a specific image.
    • Question 2: No context or content provided to answer this question.
