Skeletal system function

- support. The lower extremities


support the weight of the body.


- support and protection to the soft organs.


- posture


- stores a number of minerals


( the most important; phosphorus, calcium)

Skeletal system clasification

Theyvare clasified according the size & shape.


- long bones


- short bones


- flat bones


- irregulars


Section

Section of the vertebral column

Cervical ( C1-C7)


Thoracic ( T1-T12)


Lumbar ( L1-L5)

Parts of the long bone

-Epiphysis


- Epiphyseal disc


- Diaphysis


- Medullary cavity


- Periosteum

Epiphyseal disc


Also know as " the growth plate"

Is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone. As long the cartilage continous to form the bone continous to lengthen. When this is ossified and fused the growth on length of the person stop.

Types of joint

- Immovable joint


- slighly movable


- freely movable ,"sinovial joint".

Immovable joint

In the skull

Slightly movable

Permitd limited movement such as flexion & extencion.


Exsmple; spine.

Freely movable " sinovial joint"

Provide more flexibility & movement.


Example; arms, legs

Types of freely joint;

- hinge ( like a hinge movement


Example; the elbow &


Knee.)


- ball & socket joint. (Formed when the ball shape of a bone fits in the cup-shaped socket of the 2dn bone.


- pivot joint. ( allow rotation around the lengt of a bone. Example; side to side mov. Of the head indicating NO.


- saddle joint. Both bone's surface forme a saddle shape. One bone is saddle concave and the other saddle shape is convex.


- gliding joint. Formed by the interaction of the flat surface of articulation bone. Example; the wrist ( intercarpal joint), ankle, vertebral column.


- condyloid joint. An oval articulation of a bone fits in an oval depresion of the second bone. Example; the wrist, the metacarpophalanges.

Type of movement

- flexion


- extension ( limbs extended out the body)


- hyperextencion ( an excesive extension)


- plantar flexion (the foot and toes flex downward toward the sole)


- dorsification ( foot bending up)


- adduction ( returning back to the midle line of the body)


- abduction ( taking away, separate the limb from the middle line of the body)


- supination ( the palm of the hands up)


- pronation ( the palm of the hands down)


- circumduction ( circular movement)

Sutures


Joing together the bones of the skull, looks much as a zipper.

- Coronal suture( separates the frontal from the parietal)


- lambdoidal suture( separtes the occipital from the parietals)


- squamosal suture( separates the temporal from the rest)

Fontanels


"The soft spots"

The unfused sutures in the baby skull.


We can read the baby's pulse at the soft spots. Also is a fragile spot where the baby can be severely injured.

Types of muscle

- skeletal


- smooth


- cardiac

Types of muscle

- skeletal


- smooth


- cardiac

Skeletal muscle

- voluntary


- stratied/ striped


- produce movement, posture, & stabilize joints.


Also produce considerable heat


Therefore help maintain the body temperature.

Smooth muscle


" visceral muscle"

- involuntary ( function automatically)


- nonstriated


- it tone the Blood vessels that helps mantain the blood presure.


- the great stretching propierties allows the walls of the organs to expand to hold content. Example;


Urinary Bladder, stomach & uterus.

Cardiac muscle


( only in the heart)

- involuntary stratied


- it has intercalated disc ( promote the rapid conduction of the electrical signal throughout the heart)


- has no capacity for regeneration. ( can not repair it self).
