Study Notes
- The skeletal system includes bones of the skull, vertebrae, sacrum, sternum, pectoral girdle, upper arm, forearm, hand, pelvic girdle, lower limb, and foot.
Skull Bones
- The skull consists of the frontal bone, parietal bone, temporal bone, zygomatic bone, sphenoid bone, maxillae, mandible, nasal bones, vomer, inferior nasal conchae, ethmoid bone, and optic foramen.
- Bones of the orbit include the frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, maxilla, lacrimal, and ethmoid bones.
- The skull also has the sagittal suture, squamos suture , lamboid suture, temporal bone, mastoid process, external auditory meatus, coronoid process, mandibular condyle and zygomatic arch.
- The internal view of the skull includes the olfactory, cribriform plate, crista galli, optic foramen, sella turcica, sphenoid bone, mandibular fossa, occipital condyles, foramen magnum (great hole).
Vertebrae
- Cervical vertebrae are described as upside down elephants and have a transverse foramen.
- Features include the spinous process, body, facet (superior articular process), and transverse process.
- Only cervical vertebrae have a transverse foramen and articulate with the skull at the occipital condyles.
- C1, the Atlas, articulates with the occipital condyles of the skull.
- C2, the Axis, includes the dens.
Thoracic cage
- Lumbar vertebrae include the vertebral foramen
- The sacrum articulates with the coxa to form the sacroiliac joint and contains the sacral canal, sacral ala, sacral foramen, and sacral hiatus.
- The sternum consists of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
- True ribs (1-7) attach to the sternum via vertebrosternal connections, and false ribs (8-10) are vertebrochondrial.
- The rib articulates with vertebrae; key parts are head , tubercle, costal groove, and it articulates with the costal cartilage.
Upper extremity
- The pectoral girdle includes the clavicle and scapula
- The scapula features the coracoid process, subscapular fossa, glenoid fossa, spine, supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, and acromion process.
- Bones of the upper arm consist of medial and lateral aspects.
- The humerus features the greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, intertubercular groove, lateral epicondyle, medial epicondyle, capitulum, trochlea, and olecranon fossa.
- Bones of the forearm that make the elbow include the radius and ulna.
- The radius features the radial head, and ulna includes the olecranon process, trochlear notch, and ulnar head
- The hand consists of the carpals (8), metacarpals, and phalanges.
Lower extremity
- The pelvic girdle connects to the legs including the hip bone.
- The pelvis consists of the sacrum, coccyx, ilium, ischium, and pubis, and pelvic girdle has the sacroiliac joint.
- The anterior interior iliac spine is a feature of note.
- Important features include the iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, posterior interior iliac spine, ischial spine, greater sciatic notch, ischial tuberosity, acetabulum, pubis, Obturator foramen and the joint where the symphysis pubis occurs
- The femur has a head, neck, shaft, greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle, medial condyle, lateral condyle, patellar groove, and intercondylar fossa.
- The lower leg consists of the tibia and fibula; the tibia joins with the medial and lateral condyles in the femur.
- Distal features include the medial malleolus, lateral malleolus, tibial tuberosity, and tibial crest.
- The foot has 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and phalanges, forming 5 digits.
- Calcaneus and Talus are features of the foot.
