The Skeletal System
• Overview of the skeleton
• The skull
• The vertebral column and
thoracic cage
• The pectoral girdle and
upper limb
• The pelvic girdle and
lower limb
Overview of the Skeleton
• Regions of the skeleton
– axial skeleton forms the central axis
• skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum and sacrum
– appendicular skeleton includes the limbs & girdles
• Number of bones
– 206 in typical adult skeleton
• varies with development of sesamoid bones (patella)
– start at 270 at birth, decreases with age as bones fuse
• Surface markings defined in Table 8.2
• 4 regions of the skeleton = skull, vertebral column &
thorax, upper and lower limbs and girdles

process of skull by
stylohyoid muscle and
ligament
– greater & lesser cornua
The Skull in Infancy & Childhood
• Spaces between unfused skull
bones called fontanels
– filled with fibrous membrane
– allow shifting of bones during
birth & growth of brain in
infancy
– fuse by 2 years of age
• 2 frontal bones fuse by age six
– metopic suture
• Skull reaches adult size by 8 or
9 causing heads of children to
be larger in proportion to trunk
General Features of the Vertebral Column
• 33 vertebrae & discs of
fibrocartilage between them
• Five vertebral groups
–
–
–
–
–
7 cervical in the neck
12 thoracic in the chest
5 lumbar in lower back
5 sacral fused into the sacrum
4 coccygeal fused into
coccyx
• Variations in number of
lumbar and sacral vertebrae
Newborn Spinal Curvature
• Spine exhibits one
continuous C-shaped
curve
• Known as primary
curvature
Adult Spinal Curvatures
• S-shaped vertebral column
with 4 curvatures
• Secondary curvatures
develop after birth
– lifting head as it begins to
crawl develops cervical
curvature
– walking upright develops
lumbar curvature
Abnormal Spinal Curvatures
• Result from disease,
posture, paralysis or
congenital defect
• Scoliosis from lack
of proper
development of one
vertebrae
• Kyphosis is from
osteoporosis
• Lordosis is from
weak abdominal
muscles
General Structure of a Vertebra
• Body
• Series of vertebral foramen
form the vertebral canal
• Neural arch
– 2 lamina
– 2 pedicles
• Processes
– spinous
– transverse
– articular (superior & inferior)
Intervertebral Foramen & Discs
• Intervertebral foramen
– formed from vertebral
notches of adjacent vertebrae
– passageway for spinal nerves
• Intervertebral discs
– bind vertebrae together
– absorb shock
– inner gelatinous nucleus
pulposus surrounded by
annulus fibrosus (ring of
fibrocartilage)
– herniated disc puts pressure
on spinal nerve or spinal cord
Typical Cervical Vertebrae
• Small body and larger vertebral foramen

– concave superior articular facet
• nod your head in “yes” movement
– ring surrounding large vertebral
foramen
• anterior & posterior arch
• Axis (C2)
– dens or odontoid process is held in
place inside the vertebral foramen of
the atlas by ligaments
– allows rotation of head -- “no”
Atlas & Axis Articulation
Typical Thoracic Vertebrae
• More massive body than cervical but smaller than lumbar
• Spinous processes pointed and angled downward

between adjacent vertebrae
• Rib attachment
– superior and inferior costal facets on vertebral body and transverse costal
facets at ends of transverse processes for articulation of ribs
Lumbar Vertebrae

• Superior articular processes face medially
– lumbar region resistant to twisting movements
Sacrum (Anterior View)
• 5 separate sacral
vertebrae fuse by age 26

fused into median sacral
crest
• Transverse processes fuse
into lateral sacral crest

sacroiliac joint
Coccyx
• Single, small, triangular bone

pectoral girdle and many
limb muscles

Numbered Rib Articulations
True and False Ribs
• True ribs (1 to 7) attach
to sternum with hyaline
cartilage

laterally to the scapula
– sternoclavicular joint

replace bone elsewhere
• Head is proximal end
• Lateral malleolus is distal
expansion
• Joined to tibia by
interosseous membrane
The Ankle and Foot
• Tarsal bones are shaped & arranged
differently from carpal bones due to
load-bearing role of the ankle

Foot Arches
• Sole of foot does not normally
rest flat on the ground

from heel to hallux
– lateral longitudinal arch extends
from heel to little toe
– transverse arch extends across the
middle of the foot
• Arches held together by short,
strong ligaments
