skeleton labeling as
the bones in the
body
Bones
 Living tissue (hard form of
connective tissue)
 Chief supporting tissue of
body
 Provide:
 PROTECTION for vital
structures
 SUPPORT for body
 Mechanical basis for
MOVEMENT
 STOREHOUSE for
minerals
 Continuous supply of
new blood cells
(PRODUCTION)
Skeleton System
 The skeletal system is broken into 2 categories
 Axial
 Skull
 Ribs
 Sternum
 Vertebral column
 Appendicular
 Upper extremity
 Lower extremity
Cranium
 Purpose: protect the brain
 Made up 0f 22 bones
 8 bones fused together make the
cranium



Frontal
Parietal
Temporal
Occipital
 14 bones make up the face
 Mandible
 Maxilla
 Zygomatic
 Nasal bones
 Only joint that moves in the skull is the
temporomandibular joint
 mandible forms a hinge with temporal
bone
Ribs
 Purpose: protect the heart and lungs
 There are 12 pairs of ribs
 Sternum
 Also called the “breastbone”

Xiphoid process
 landmark for CPR
Vertebral Column
 Spinal Column or vertebral column stretches
from the base of skull to coccyx
 Composed of bones called vertebrae
 Intervertebral disks separate the body of each
vertebrae
Sections of the Vertebral Column
 There are 5 sections to the vertebral column
 7 Cervical vertebrae

Smallest vertebra
 12 Thoracic vertebrae

Articulate with the ribs
 5 Lumbar vertebrae

Supports most of the body’s weight
 Sacrum

Composed of 5 fused vertebrae
 Coccyx


Composed 4 fused bones
Also called the “tail bone”



Also called the shoulder blade
Free floating bone between ribs 2 & 7 posteriorly

skeleton
 Transmits weight of upper
body to lower limb
 3 main bones



Ilium
 Largest part of pelvic girdle
Ischium
 Located posteriorly

 Consists of 4 bones
 Femur


Longest and strongest bone in the
body
Built for stability, not flexibility
 Patella

 Tibia
 Long bone on the medial aspect of
leg
 90% weight bearing
 Fibula
 Long bone on the lateral aspect of
leg
 10% weight bearing
Foot
 Consists of 26 bones
 Tarsals

7 bones that make up the
ankle
 Metatarsals
 5 long bones of the foot
