Study Notes
Unit 1: Osteology
- Osteology is the study of bones.
- The skeleton provides shape to the human body and has a longitudinal vertebral bony axis for flexibility.
- Two pairs of appendages are attached to the vertebral axis at the shoulder and pelvis to facilitate movements.
- The skeleton's primary role is to produce movement in conjunction with muscles.
- Individual bones are categorized as long, short, flat, or irregular.
- Bone is dynamic, vital, and constantly changing, known for hardness, plasticity, resilience, and regenerative capacity.
Divisions of the Skeleton
- The human skeleton has two main divisions: axial and appendicular.
- Axial division includes bones of the head, neck, and trunk.
- Appendicular division includes bones of the extremities or appendages.
- The axial skeleton is the body's main support.
- The appendicular skeleton provides a movable frame for the upper and lower limbs.
Vertebral Column
- The vertebral column provides flexible support for the trunk and spinal cord protection.
- The vertebral column has 33 vertebrae, with 26 distinct bones.
- Vertebrae are named by region: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.
- Five sacral vertebrae and four coccygeal vertebrae are fused.
- Each vertebra has an anterior vertebral body and a neural arch.
- The vertebral body bears weight, the neural arch forms the vertebral canal.
- Lumbar vertebrae have larger bodies to support greater mass.
- Vertebrae articulate via facets on neural arch processes (synovial joint) and intervertebral discs (cartilaginous joint).
- Intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers that allow slight movement.
- A well-aligned vertebral column has cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curves.
Abnormal Spinal Curvatures
- Scoliosis includes abnormal lateral curvature.
- Kyphosis ("hump back") includes exaggerated posterior thoracic curve
- Lordosis (“sway back”) contains an exaggerated anterior lumbar curve.
Distribution and Function of Bones
-
The axial skeleton has 80 bones.
-
There are 8 cranial bones, 14 face bones, 6 auditory ossicles, and 1 hyoid (throat) bone
-
There are 26 vertebrae, 1 sternum, and 24 ribs in the thorax
-
The appendicular skeleton contains 126 bones.
-
The upper skeleton has 4 shoulder girdle bones and 60 arm and hand bones.
-
The lower skeleton has 2 pelvic girdle bones and 60 leg and foot bones.
-
The skeletal system has 206 bones combined.
Main Functions of the Skeletal System
- It allows body movement by providing muscle attachment points for leverage. \
- It supports softer tissues and organs.
- The skeleton provides vital organ protection, storing minerals and producing blood cells through red bone marrow.
Structure of bone
- Epiphysis includes the end of a long bone, largely cancellous covered with articular cartilage.
- Smooth area of epiphyses is the area where bones come into physical contact.
- Diaphysis includes the shaft of long bone consisting of compact bone and a medullary cavity.
- The periosteum includes a fibrous sheath covering bone, not covering articular cartilage.
- Cancellous (spongy) bone contains masses of developing blood cells supported by fine fibers.
- Compact bone is ivory-like bone found in diaphysis.
- Nutrient blood travels via Haversian canals.
- Medullary cavity contains yellow marrow after childhood.
- It ceases blood cell production and contains fat.
Classifying Bone
- Long bones include most upper and lower extremity bones; they are longer than wide and have a compact bone hollow shaft with yellow marrow. The ends are spongy or cancellous with red marrow.
- Short bones include wrist and ankle bones, are spongy bone covered in shell of compact bone
- Flat bones include face, skull, scapula, ribs, sternum and ilium. It has a broad surface for attachments/protection with two compact bone plates sandwiching spongy bone.
- Sesamoid bones are small, round bones in tendons to protect compressive tendon forces, like patella.
- Irregular bones do not fit other categories include vertebrae, sacrum/coccyx, ear bones
Surface Features of Bones
- These present features which show relationship to other tissues by articulation or for attachments of ligaments or muscles
- Processes show bony prominence such as acromion process on scapula
- Heads are prominent rounded articulating proximal bone ends such as the head of femur
- Necks consist of the constricted area like the neck on femur
- Fossas include flattened or shallow surfaces such as subscapular fossa on the scapula
- Facets have flat surfaces like vertebrae
- Tuberosity are large roughened processes like radial tuberosity of radius
- Tubercle are small like greater tubercle of humerus
- Condyles includes rounded articular prominence like femoral condyles
- Epicondyle consists of the projection above a condyle like medial epicondyle of the femur
- Foramen is a hole such as foramina of the skull for passage of nerves and blood vessels
- Trochanter are massive processes ONLY on the femur such greater/lesser processes
Unit 2 - Human Torso Anatomy
- Have a basic understanding of the major organs and structures such as lungs, heart, vessels and muscle in the body
- Be able to identify listed structures in Table 2-1, describe the location of each structure, and give one major function for each structure on plastic models or pictures
