Reduce bone mass


Add resonance to voice

Ethmoid Bone

Adult vertebral column

Vertebra

Intervertebral Disc




Padding for weight bearing. Can change shape.


Allows for movement between vertebrae. Movement is small with 2 but increase as they all move.

Fibrocarilaginous pad


Thin in cervicle thicker in lumbar.

Sacrum & Coccyx

5 sacral vertebrae fused


after 20 yr of age



Thoracic Vertebrae

Distinguised by spinous process. Long and projects downward. Has articulation sites (facets) on the body and  a transverse process for rib attachment.

Thoracic Cage




Pg 293

12 ribs anchored posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae. 
Sternum anchors anterior thoracic cage.

12 ribs anchored posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae.


Sternum anchors anterior thoracic cage.

Development of skull

Bones not ossified. Separated by fontanelles filled with fibrous connective tissue.  Disappear by 2 yrs. 

Bones not ossified. Separated by fontanelles filled with fibrous connective tissue. Disappear by 2 yrs.

Development of Vertebral Column/Thoracic Cage

Begins with mesenchyme cells.


The differentiate into cartilage model then ossify into bone.

Adult Bones

206

Kid Bones

Kids have a higher number of bone because they fuse together as they grow.

Axial and Appendicular Skeleton



Protects internal organs, provides support, and movement of body.


Primary storage of minerals (ex.calcium and phosphate)


Bone marrow stores fat and houses the blood cell producing tissue of the body.



Axial Skeleton




80 bones (skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage)

Forms the vertical central axis of the body.


Includes head, neck, chest, & back.


Protects brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs.


Serves as attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, back, hip joints, shoulders.

Vertebral Column

24 bones

Thoracic Cage

Includes 12 pairs of ribs, sternum, and the flat bone of the anterior chest.

Appendicular Skeleton




126 bones

Upper/Lower Limbs including bones that attach each limb to the axial skeleton.

Nasal Concha

Surperior/Middle are ethmoid bone.




Inferior are a independent bone of the skull.

Hyoid Bone

Independent bone that does not contact any other bone and is NOT part of the skull


U shapped.


Attached to the larynx below and the pharynx posteriorly.


Held in place by muscles.
