Study Notes
Axial vs Appendicular Skeleton
- The human skeleton has 206 bones.
- Two divisions:
- Axial: along the body's longitudinal axis; Includes skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
- Appendicular: Includes pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper and lower appendages
Bone Types
- Long bones: Longer than wide; e.g., bones of the arm, forearm, fingers, thigh, leg
- Short bones: Roughly equal in all dimensions; e.g., carpal bones, tarsal bones
- Flat bones: Thin, flattened, usually curved; e.g., ribs, scapulae, cranium, sternum
- Irregular bones: Do not fit into other categories e.g., vertebrae, pelvic girdle, facial bones
- Sesamoid bones: Found within a tendon; e.g., patella
Bone Markings
- Tubercle: Rounded projection
- Process: Sharp projection
- Foramen: Opening for nerves and blood vessels
- Sinuses: Air spaces in skull bones
Axial Skeleton: Fontanels
- Fontanels are membrane-covered spaces between developing skull bones.
- They are larger in infants as these bones have not yet ossified.
- Bones grow together, and all fontanels are usually closed by 2 years of age.
Appendicular Skeleton: Pelvis
- Male: More massive due to body size and weight bearing, Pelvic inlet and outlet are smaller because of the different roles of the pelvis.
- Female: Pelvic inlet and outlet are broader to accommodate childbirth, subpubic angle is greater than 90 degrees.
Vertebral Column
- Contains 5 regions: Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.
Sternum
- Has 3 parts:
- Manubrium
- Body
- Xiphoid process
Ribs
- True ribs: Attached directly to the sternum via costal cartilage.
- False ribs: Indirectly attached to the sternum through costal cartilage.
- Floating ribs: No connection to the sternum, they are short and attached only to the vertebral column.
