Study Notes
Skeletal System Overview
- Composed of 206 individual bones
- Connected by articulations, ligaments, and tendons
Types of Bones
- Long bones: Clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, femurs, tibia, fibula, metatarsals, phalanges
- Short bones: Carpal and tarsal bones, patellae, sesamoid bones
- Flat bones: Skull, mandible, scapulae, sternum, ribs
- Irregular bones: Vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, hyoid bone
Axial Skeleton
- Primarily composed of the skull and trunk
- Skull:
- Neurocranium: Houses and protects the brain
- Viscerocranium: Maxilla and mandibles
- Trunk:
- Vertebral column: Protects spinal cord (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 fused sacrum, 4 fused coccyx)
- Rib cage: Sternum and 12 pairs of ribs (10 true, 2 floating)
- Skull:
Appendicular Skeleton
- Attached to the axial skeleton
- Upper bones:
- Pectoral girdle (clavicle and scapula)
- Bones of the upper limb (humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges)
- Lower bones:
- Pelvic girdle (pelvis)
- Bones of the lower limb (femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges)
