Study Notes
The Skeletal System
- The skeletal system comprises bones, joints, cartilages, and ligaments.
- It's divided into two main parts: axial and appendicular skeletons.
- The axial skeleton forms the body's longitudinal axis.
- The appendicular skeleton includes the limbs and their supporting girdles.
- Bones provide support, protection, leverage for movement, mineral storage, and blood cell formation.
- A human skeleton consists of 206 bones.
- Bone types include long, short, flat, and irregular bones.
- Compact bone and spongy bone form the structural units of a bone.
- Compact bone is dense, while spongy bone consists of a network of trabeculae.
- Osteons, also called Haversian systems, are the structural units of compact bone.
- Osteons are elongated cylinders oriented parallel to the bone's long axis.
- Trabeculae in spongy bone align precisely along lines of stress.
- Five primary cell types compose bone tissue: osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, bone-lining cells, and osteoclasts.
Bone Markings
- Bone markings serve as points for muscle and ligament attachments.
- Markings include tuberosities—large rounded projections; crests—narrow ridges; lines—narrow ridges, less prominent than crests; trochanters—very large, blunt projections; tubercle—small rounded projection; epicondyles—raised areas above condyles; spines—sharp, pointed projections; and processes—any bony prominence.
- Protrusions like heads, facets, condyles, and rami are also bone markings.
- Depressions and openings are the sites that blood vessels and nerves pass through.
- These are commonly found as grooves, furrows, fissures, foramina, meatus, and sinuses.
Bones of the Upper Limb
- The hand is composed of carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
Bones of the Lower Limb
- The foot is composed of tarsus, metatarsals, and phalanges.
The Skull
- The skull comprises the cranium (braincase) and facial bones.
- Sutures are the joints between skull bones.
- Only the mandible connects to the skull by a freely movable joint.
Paranasal Sinuses
- Hollow regions within bones surrounding the nasal cavity.
- These cavities include frontal, ethmoidal, sphenoidal, and maxillary sinuses.
The Hyoid Bone
- The only bone that doesn't connect to another bone in direct contact.
- This bone acts as the movable base for the tongue.
The Vertebral Column
- Vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs.
- The spinal column displays natural curves.
- Each vertebra has a name based on its location (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx).
- Each vertebra has important structural features like the vertebral body, vertebral arch with processes, and foramina.
The Bony Thorax
- The bony thorax (rib cage) is characterized by true ribs (1-7), false ribs (8-12), and floating ribs (11-12).
- The structures include the sternum (manubrium, body, xiphoid process), ribs, intercostal spaces, costal cartilages, and related structures.
The Appendicular Skeleton
- The appendicular skeleton includes the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle), pelvic girdle, and the upper and lower limbs.
Joints
- Joints are the articulations of bones.
- Joint functions include holding bones together and enabling mobility.
- Joints are categorized structurally into fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints, or functionally into immovable, slightly mobile, and freely moveable joints.
- Synovial joints contain cartilage, synovial fluid, ligaments, and more (articular capsule).
Types of Synovial Joints
- Based on shape, synovial joints include plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket joints.
- These joints permit varying degrees of movement, e.g., gliding, angular, rotational, circumduction, and other types of movements.
Gender Differences in the Pelvis
- There are differences between male and female pelvis structures linked to reproductive functions.
