Axial skeleton has how many types of bones?
5
long bones
longer than wide, compact and very rigid, do not bend. example is humerus
short bones
spongy except on the surface, wider than long, example is trapezius in wrist
flat bones
plates of compact bone that enclose spongy bone. example is sternum
irregular bones
variable, example is vertebrae
sesamoid bones
develop in tendon/ligament and is engulfed inside it. example is patella
how many bones in axial system?
80
what bones are include in axial system?
skull, hyoid, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, ear ossicles
appendicular skeleton includes what bones?
upper and lower extremities, pectoral and pelvic girdle
skull has how many bones and what two types?
22 bones, cranial and facial
paranasal sinus
mucous lined cavities in the skull
mandible
only moveable bone in the skull
sutures
immovable bones which hold skull bones together
frontal bone
forehead, roof of orbits, anterior cranial floor. ex black eyes
parietal
sides and roof of cranium
temporal
many pieces including temporal squama, zygomatic process, external auditory meatus, mastoid process, styloid process, manidibular fossa
number of cranial bones
8
what does the cranium do?
protects the brain, houses ear ossicles, muscle attachment of jaws and neck
number of facial bones
14
name the cranial bones
frontal, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid
2 nasal bones that are not doubled
vomer and mandible
zygomatic bones
cheek bones
lacrimal v inferior nasal conchae
inferiors are their own bones
pterygoid processes
attachment site for jaw muscles
ethmoid bone
part of the anterior portion of the cranial floor
the medial wall of the orbits
the superior portion of the nasal septum
most of the superior side walls of the nasal cavity.
It is a major superior supporting structure of the nasal cavity
concha
turbinates for filtering and warming the air
cleft palate
lack of union of the 2 maxillary bones
lacrimal bones
part of medial wall of the orbit
vomer
1 bone, it is posterior part of nasal septum, divides cavity into right and left
palatine
L shaped bone, back part is hard palate, other part connects with orbits. sits behind the maxilla
nasal septum
formed by vomer, and perpendicular part of ethmoid and septal cartilage
orbits are formed by
7 bones in the skull, have 5 foramina
foramen magnum
foramen of the skull, located in occipital bone, allows inferior brain to connect with spinal cord, spinal arteries pass thru here
optic foramen
foramen of the skull, located in sphenoid bone, allows optic and opthalmic artery to pass thru
mandibular foramen
mandible
carotid foramen
temporal bone between greater and lesser wings, internal carotid artery passes thru
stylomastoid foramen
foramen of the skull, located in temporal bone between mastoid and styloid process, works with CN facial nerves and stylomastoid artery
coronal suture
connects frontal bone with 2 parietals
sagittal suture
connects the 2 parietals
lambdoid suture
connects 2 parietals to occipital
squamous suture
connects temporals to parietals
4 fontanels
posterior, posteriorlateral, anterior and anterolateral
hyoid
doesnt articulate with any other bones in the body, superior to adams apple
vertebral column has how many vertebrae and how many regions
26 vertebrae, 5 regions
numbers of vertebrae for each region
cervical=7
thoracic=12
lumbar=5
sacrum=5 fused
coccyx=4 fused
2 parts of intervertebral discs
inner=annulus fibrosus
outer=nucleus pulposus
