Types of Bone

bones fall into 1 of 5 main types based on
shape:
 Long
 Short
 Flat
 Irregular
 Sesamoid
Long Bones



longer than they are wide
may be slightly curved (to absorb stress of
weight at more points along the bone i.e.
straight bones would fracture more easily)
consist of:
 shaft
& variable #s of ends
 compact bone in diaphysis and spongy bone in
epiphysis
Long Bones
Short Bones



somewhat cube-shaped
nearly equal in length as width
consist of:
 spongy
bone except @ surface
Short Bones
Flat Bones

Composed of:
2
nearly parallel plates of compact bone
enclosing spongy bone inside

Function:
 give
considerable protection
 place for muscle attachment
Flat Bones
Irregular Bones


complex shapes (do not fit in other categories)
vary in amt spongy bone
Sesamoid Bones



develop w/in certain tendons where there is
considerable friction, tension, & physical
stress
function: protect tendon from excessive wear
& tear
vary in # person to person but everyone has 2
patella which develop in quadriceps femoris
tendon
Sesamoid Bone
Sutural Bones


classified by location (w/in a suture: a seam
between 2 cranial bones)
not everyone has them
Bone Surface Markings

1.
2 major types:
depressions & openings

2.
form joints or allow passage of vessels &
nerves
processes

projections or outgrowths that either help form
joints or serve as attachment points for
ligaments & tendons

Functions of Cranial Bones
1.
2.
3.
protecting brain
stabilizing position of brain, vessels, &
nerves through attachments to the meninges
outer surfaces provide large areas of
attachment for muscles that move parts of
the head & some for facial expression
Cranial Bones: Frontal Bone

forms:
 forehead
 upper part of eye socket
 most of anterior part of cranial floor
 in newborns: rt & lt which fuse shortly after
birth
Frontal Bone
Parietal Bones

form greater portion of sides & roof of
cranial cavity
Temporal Bones



form inferior, lateral aspects of the cranium
& part of the cranial floor
its zygomatic process forms the lateral half of
the zygomatic arch
mandibular fossa: where condylar process of
mandible forms TMJ (temporal mandibular
joint)
Temporal Bones
Temporal Bones


external auditory meatus: ear canal
mastoid: posterior & inferior to external
auditory meatus, contains “air cells”
(mastoiditis: inflammation in air cells)
Temporal Bone: Petrous Portion



base of skull between sphenoid & occipital
bones
houses middle & inner ear
Carotid foramen & Jugular foramen
Temporal Bones


internal auditory meatus: passage of Cranial
nerves VII (facial n.) and VIII
(vestibulocochlear n.)
styloid process: point of attachment for
muscles & ligaments of the tongue & neck
Temporal Bone: Internal Surface
Occipital Bone



forms back of head & most of base of skull
foramen magnum: large hole spinal cord
passes thru,
occipital condyles: articulate with 1st cervical
vertebra (atlas)
Occipital Bone
Sphenoid Bone



middle base of skull
*articulates with all other cranial bones
shape resembles a bat
Sphenoid Bone


sella turcica: (Turkish saddle) the “seat” of
the saddle is the hypophyseal fossa: where
the pituitary gland sits
optic foramen: between body & lesser wings,
cranial nerve II (optic n.) and opthlamic
artery pass thru
Sphenoid Bone
Ethmoid Bone




“like a sieve”
midline of anterior part of cranial floor,
anterior to sphenoid, posterior to nasal bones
cribiforme plate: forms roof of nasal cavity,
the holes of the sieve where olfactory nerves
pass from roof of nasal cavity to brain
crista galla: triangular process which serves
as pt of attachment for meninges of brain
Ethmoid Bone
Ethmoid Bone


perpendicular plate: forms superior portion
of nasal cavity
superior & middle nasal conchae: (or
turbinate) increase vascular & mucous
membrane surface area in nasal cavities: aids
in sense of smell, warms, filters & moistens
air being inhaled. Filters because the
turbinates cause air to swirl as a result
inhaled particles strike & become trapped in
mucus
Ethmoid Bone
“Sometimes when you study anatomy, you
start seeing others differently.”
Facial Bones

shape of face changes dramatically during 1st
2 yrs of life:
 brain & cranial bones expand
 1st set of teeth erupt
 paranasal sinuses enlarge
 growth of face stops ~16 years old

cavity, & most of the hard palate (bony roof
of mouth)
each one has large maxillary sinus
alveolar process is small arch that contains
the alveolar sockets for upper set of teeth
Maxillae
Cleft Palate & Cleft Lip


10-12 wks gestation the palatine processes of
maxillae typically join
not doing so  cleft palate +/- cleft lip
 speech
& swallowing can be affected
 many ear infections
 reparative surgery recommended 1st few wks of
life / surgery needs to be completed by 12 – 18
mos b/4 speech: speech therapy & orthodontic
care frequently necessary

thin, about the size of pinky fingernail
(smallest bones of face
part of medial wall of each orbit
each contain lacrimal fossa that houses
lacrimal sac: gathers tears  nasal cavity
Inferior Nasal Conchae


inferior to the middle nasal conchae of the
ethmoid bone forming part of lateral wall of
nasal cavity
same function as superior & middle conchae:
swirling inhaled air to deposit particulates
but not involved in sense of smell
Vomer
