Skeletal System
General Info
• Organs called bones
• Adult human has 206
bones
Functions of Bones
• Framework
– Supports muscle, fat and skin
• Protection
– Surrounds vital organs
– EX: skull, ribs, pelvis
• Levers
– Muscles attach to bones to provide movement
• Production of blood cells
– Red and white blood cells and platelets
• Storage
– Calcium
Bone Anatomy
• Long Bones
Shaft – diaphysis
2 ends – epiphysis
Layers
Periosteum
Medullary canal
red marrow
yellow marrow
Endosteum
Skeleton Sections
• Axial
– Main Trunk
• Composed of skull, spinal column, ribs and
breastbone
• Appendicular
– Extremities
• Shoulder girdle, arm bones, pelvic girdle, leg
bones
Bones of the Body
• Skull
Fontanels
Soft Spots – allow the skull to
enlarge as the brain grows
Sinuses
• Air spaces in the
bones
• Act as resonating
chambers for the
voice
• Lined with mucous
membranes
Ribs
• 12 Pairs
• True ribs
– First 7 pairs
– Attach to thoracic
vertebrae and sternum
• False ribs
– Next 5 pairs
– Attach to the cartilage of
the ribs above
– Floating ribs
• Last 2 pairs of false ribs
• Have no attachment in
the front
Sternum
