Axial Skeleton

Bones along central body axis (skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, thoracic cage


includes 22 bones: most interlocked by sutures

Cranial bones

encloses brain: 8 bones

Facial bones

form cheekbones, nose, bridge, palate, orbits, mandible:14 bones

Ear ossicles

inside temporal bone: 6 bones

hyoid

overe larynx: 1 bone

Skull

cranial bones: 2 parietal, two temporal, 1 frontal, 1occipital, 1 sphenoid, 1 ethmoid

facial bones

2 nasal, 2 lacriminal, 2 zygomatic, 2 inferior nasal conchae, 1 mandible, 2 maxilla, 2 palantine, 1 vomer

appendicular skeleton

includes row bones of the upper limb and pectoral girdle and the bones of the lower limb and pelvic girdle

Nasal septum

vomer, perpendicular plate

Paranasal sinuses

Extensions of nasal cavity Frontal sinus, ethmoid, sphenoid sinus, maxillary sinuses

Vertebral column

26 bones


Vertebrae, sacrum, coccy

What are the function of the vertebral column

encloses/protect spinal cord


attachment of skull


supports weight of head

Thoracic cage

sternum, 12 pairs of ribs, costal cartilages

What are the functions of the thoracic cage

protects heart,lungs, thymus etc. within cavity

Appedicular skeleton

invloed in changing your position in the external environment

Pectoral girdle

2 clavivles, 2 scpulae


transmits force from upper limbs to axial skeleton

Special functions of the skeleton

wide female pelvis (childbirth)


heavier male skeleton (heavier muscles)


foot arches (for balance)


patella (fulcrum)


Ear ossicles (transmits sound waves)


Sinus cavities (clean, warm, humidify air; lighten skull


Fused sacrum (supports sitting and standing

Skeletal conditions

scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis

Articulations (joints)

connections between two bones that may or may not permit movement

How are articulation joints classified?

functionally and structurally

What are the functional classifications of the joints?

amount of movement


synostoses: completely immovable


synarthroses: little movement or immovable


amphiathroses: slightly moveable


diarthroses: freely moveable

What are sutures?

dense regular connective tissue

syndesmoses

ligaments

what are the suture types?

serrate, lap, plane

gomphosis

attachment of a tooth to its socket

Bony joints

complete ossification between two bones

Cartilaginous joints

2 bones linked by cartilage


synchondroses: bones connected by hyaline cartilage connective tissue


symphyses: bones separated by discs of fibrocartilage connective tissue

synovial joints

enclosed, fluid filled space

articular cartilages

hyaline cartilage


smooth gliding surface

Joint cavity

filled with synovial fluid


secreted by synovial fluid

synovial fluid functions

3: lubricates, nourished chondrocytes, and shocked absorption

compression

synovial fluid forced out of articular cartilages

re-expansion

synovial fluid pulled back into cartilages

What are the accessory structures

menisci (knee)-absorb shock and pressure


capsular ligaments: medial and lateral collateral ligaments


intracapsular ligaments -cross ligaments


muscles and tendons -motion


bursae- reduces friction between moving surfaces in tendons and sheaths



flexion

decreases angle between joining bones

extension

increasing angle between joining bones

hyperextensions

not bending a joint back beyond its normal range

abduction

movement of limb away from the body midline

adduction

movement of limb toward body midline

circumspection

movement of limb or finger so that it draws a circle

roation

turning movement of bone around the longitudinal axis

medial

rotation of limb toward media plane

lateral

rotation of limb toward lateral plane

elevation

lifting a body part superiorly

depression

moving elevated body part inferiorly

pronation

from SAP forearm rates medically until palm faces

supination

from probated position, forearm rotates laterally

inversion

turn some of feet medically

eversion

turn sole of foot laterally

lateral flexion

tilting head or trunk to right or left of the midline

dorsiflexion

lifting toes to shin

plantar flexion

lifitng heel and pointing toes

protraction

movement of body part posteriorly
