The Basic Functions of the Skeletal System
• Hematopoiesis – process of
producing blood cells in the red
bone marrow
• Structure / support– Provide rigid
framework that supports the soft
tissues of the body and maintain
the body shape.
Fuctions of the skeletal system
• Muscle Attachment and
Movement – bondes serve as
levers to convert muscular
contraction to movement.
• Mineral Storage – bones store
calcium in bone matrix
Axial vs. Appendicular
• The Axial Skeleton
– Contains the bones that are along
the long axis of the body, or the
bones of the head and trunk
• The Appendicular Skeleton
– Contains the bones of the
extremities (or appendages)
– Includes the pectoral girdles, pelvic
girdles, and the bones of the arms
and legs
Bones of the Cranium
•
•
•
•
•
•
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
Maxillae
Mandible
Frontal Bone
• Forms the forehead
• Forms the roof of the eye sockets
Parietal Bones
• Consists of two bones
• Forms the sides and roof of the
cranial cavity
Temporal Bones
• Consists of two bones
• Forms the lower sides of the
cranium and part of the cranial
floor
Occipital Bone
• The base of the cranial cavity
• Prominent posterior portion
Maxillae
• The upper jaw
Mandible
• Lower jaw bone
The Vertebral Column
• Composed of 33 bones
• Encloses and protects the spinal
cord
• Supports the head
Bones of the Vertebral Column
• Cervical Vertebrae—7 bones
located in the neck
• Thoracic Vertebrae—12 bones
connected to the ribs
• Lumbar Vertebrae—5 bones in
the lower back
• Sacral Vertebrae—5 pelvic bones
• Coccygeal Vertebrae—4 tailbones

Metacarpals
Phalanges
Bones of the Upper Extremities
Bones of the Pelvis
• Ilium
• Ischium
• Pubis
• Together these three bones are
fused and are called the os coxae
• The fused os coxae articulate with
the sacrum
Pelvic Girdle

Femur

Bones of the Lower Extremeties
Joints
• Any location where two bones
articulate (meet)
• The points of contact between
bones
• Freely moving joints
– Hinge Joints
– Gliding Joints
– Ball and Socket Joints
Hinge Joints
• Allows for extension and flexion
Gliding Joints
• Bones slide past each other
Ball and Socket Joints
• Allows for rotational movement
in almost any direction
Joints
• Types cont.
– Some joints allow little to no
movement such as the sutures of
the skull
Ligaments
• Ligaments attach bone to bones
• They provide much of the support
for our freely movable joints
Disease and Disorders

•
•
•
•
Fractures
Scoliosis
Kyphosis
Lordosis
Osteoarthritis
Sprains
Fractures
• Types of fractures
– Closed or simple fracture
• The bone is broken and the skin is
intact
– Open or compound fracture
• The bone is broken and the skin is cut
by the bone
Scoliosis
• Abnormal lateral curvature of
the spine
Scoliosis
• Signs & Symptoms
– One hip or one shoulder higher than
the other
– Back pain
– Muscle spasms
• Cause
– An imbalance of muscles
– A leg length discrepancy
• Treatment
– Bracing, physical therapy, shoe
inserts, surgery
Kyphosis and Lordosis
• Kyphosis- abnormally enlarged
thoracic curve (humpback)
• Lordosis- abnormally enlarged
lumbar curve (swayback)
Osteoarthritis
• Arthritis that is caused by the
breakdown and loss of cartilage
in the joints
Osteoarthritis
• Cause: normal wear and tear on
the joints
– May be specifically causes by:
• Obesity
• Injury to a joint that is not cared for properly
• Signs & Symptoms
– Joint soreness, aching, stiffness, and swelling
– Bone spurs may develop which increases pain and
loss of motion
• Treatment includes:
– pain relievers, steroids, and surgical joint
replacement
Sprain
• The stretching or tearing of a
ligament.
Sprain cont.
• 1st degree
– The stretching of a ligament causing
micro-tears in the tissue
• 2nd degree
– A partial tear
• 3rd degree
– A complete rupture
• Signs & Symptoms include pain,
swelling, joint laxity, instability
• Treat with RICE
rest, ice , compression, elevation
Three Degrees of Sprains
