Skeletal System
CHAPTER 6
2
Skeletal System
• Human skeleton consists of 206 bones– Serves as supporting framework of body– Protects vital internal organs– Important role in movement = attachments for
muscles– Reservoir for storing minerals– Red bone marrow = blood cell formation
3
Bone Structure
• Diaphysis– Main shaft-like portion of a long bone– Compact bone
• Epiphysis– Located at each end of a long bone
• Epiphyseal line– Separates diaphysis from epiphysis
4
Bone Structure
• Periosteum– Covers the surface of the long bone
• Articular cartilage– Covers joint surfaces
• Medullary (marrow) cavity– Contains yellow marrow
5
Bone Structure
• Spongy bone (trabeculae)– Also called cancellous bone
• Red bone marrow– Site for blood cell production
• Yellow marrow– Stores fat
6
Bone Structure
7
Bone Markings
• Bone markings = specific features of bones– Enlargements that extend out from the bone– Openings within the bone– Hollow regions within the bone– Points of attachment for muscles and tendons– Points for joining one bone to another– Cavities and passage for nerves and blood
vessels
8
• Concave areas or openings in a bone– Help form joints– Serve as points of attachment for muscle
• Sulcus– Groove or depression in a bone
• Example = fissure
• Sinus– Opening or hollow space in a bone
• Example = frontal sinus
Bone Depressions
9
• Fossa– Hollow or shallow concave depression in bone
• Example = fossa of the iliac (hip) bone
• Foramen– Hole within a bone for blood vessels or nerves
to pass through• Example = Foramen magnum of the skull
Bone Depressions
10
Cranial Bones
• Cranium = bony skull – Envelops brain
• Composed of eight bones– Immovable bones
• Borders meet to form immovable joints – Immovable joints = sutures
11
Cranial Bones
12
Facial Bones
• Two bones provide distinctive shape to face– Maxillae (upper jaw bones)– Mandible (lower jaw bone)
• All facial bones connected by immovable joints (sutures)– One exception (mandible)
13
Facial Bones
14
Vertebral Bones
• Form long axis of the body– Referred to as spinal column or backbone– 24 vertebrae + sacrum + coccyx– Offer protection to spinal cord
15
• Cervical vertebrae– Vertebrae of the neck (cervic/o = neck)– Identified as C1 – C7
• Thoracic vertebrae– Vertebrae of the chest (thorac/o = chest)– Identified as T1 – T12
• Lumbar vertebrae– Vertebrae of lower back (lumb/o = lower back, loins)– Identified as L1-L5
Vertebral Bones
16
Vertebral Bones
• Sacrum– Singular, triangular shaped bone– Resulted from fusion of five individual sacral
bones in the child
• Coccyx– Also called “tailbone”– Resulted from fusion of four individual
coccygeal bones in the child
17
• True ribs (Ribs 1-7)– Attach to sternum in front and vertebrae in
back
• False ribs (Ribs 8-10)– Attach to vertebrae in back but attach to
cartilage of 7th rib in front – not the sternum
• Floating ribs (Ribs 11-12)– Attach to vertebrae in back– Completely free of attachment in front
Bones of the Thorax
18
Bones of the Upper Extremities
19
Pelvic Bones
20
• Femur– Thigh bone
• Patella– Knee bone or kneecap
• Tibia– Larger and stronger of the two lower leg
bones
• Fibula– More slender of the two lower leg bones
Bones of the Lower Extremities
21
• Ankle bones (Tarsals)– Calcaneus – Talus bone
• Foot bones– Metatarsals– Phalanges
Bones of the Ankle and Foot
PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Skeletal System
23
Osteomalacia
• Pronounced– (oss-tee-oh-mah-LAY-she-ah)
• Defined– Abnormal softening of the bones due to a
deficiency of calcium and phosphorus in the blood
• Which is necessary for bone mineralization
24
Osteomyelitis
• Pronounced– (oss-tee-oh-my-ell-EYE-tis)
• Defined– A local or generalized infection of the bone
and bone marrow– Resulting from a bacterial infection that has
spread to the bone tissue through the blood
25
Osteoporosis
• Pronounced– (oss-tee-oh-poh-ROW-sis)
• Defined– Porous bones– Bones that were once strong become fragile
due to loss of bone density
26
Osteoporosis
27
Ewing’s Sarcoma
• Pronounced– (YOO-wings sar-KOH-mah)
• Defined– Malignant tumor of the bones common to
young adults, particularly adolescent boys
28
Osteogenic Sarcoma
• Pronounced– (oss-tee-oh-JEN-ic sar-KOH-mah)
• Defined– Malignant tumor arising from bone– Also known as osteosarcoma
29
Osteochondroma
• Pronounced– (oss-tee-oh-kon-DROH-mah)
• Defined– Most common benign bone tumor– Most frequently involves the femur and tibia
30
Paget’s Disease
• Pronounced– (PAJ-ets dih-ZEEZ)
• Defined– Nonmetabolic disease of the bone– Characterized by excessive bone destruction
and unorganized bone formation by the osteoblasts
• Bone is weak and prone to fractures
31
Spinal Stenosis
• Pronounced– (SPIGH-nal stin-OH-sis)
• Defined– Narrowing of the vertebral canal, nerve root
canals, or intervertebral foramina • Openings of the lumbar spinal canal
– Causes pressure on nerve roots prior to their exit from the foramina
32
Talipes Equinovarus
• Pronounced– (TAL-ih-peez eh-kwine-oh-VAIR-us)
• Defined– Clubfoot
33
Talipes
34
Abnormal Curvature of the Spine
• Kyphosis– Outward curvature = humpback or hunchback
• Lordosis– Inward curvature = swayback
• Scoliosis– Lateral (sideward) curvature
35
Abnormal Curvature of the Spine
36
Fracture: Broken Bone
• Closed fracture– Break in the bone but no open wound in skin– Simple fracture
• Open fracture– Break in the bone, as well as an open wound
in skin– Compound fracture
37
• Complete fracture– Break extends through the entire thickness of
bone
• Incomplete fracture– One side of bone is broken and one side of
bone is bent considerably but not broken– Greenstick fracture
Fracture: Broken Bone
38
• Compression fracture– Caused by bone surfaces being forced
against each other
• Impacted fracture– Direct force causes bone to break– Forces broken end of smaller bone into
broken end of larger bone
Fracture: Broken Bone
39
• Colle’s fracture– Break occurs at lower end of the radius– Within one inch of connecting with wrist bones
• Hairline fracture– Minor fracture in which the bone continues to
be in perfect alignment– Also known as a stress fracture
Fracture: Broken Bone
40
• Pathological fracture– Bone is weakened by a preexisting disease– Break is in response to a force that would
not cause a normal bone to break
• Treatment of fractures– Closed reduction– Open reduction
Fracture: Broken Bone
DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES, TREATMENTS
AND PROCEDURES
Skeletal System
42
Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments, and Procedures
• Bone scan– Intravenous injection of a radioisotope, which
is absorbed by bone tissue– Followed by scanning of the skeleton
approximately three hours later to detect areas where the bone absorbs the isotope
43
Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments, and Procedures
• Bone marrow aspiration– Removal of a small sample of bone marrow
from a selected site with a needle– Specimen is examined under a microscope– Sterile technique
44
Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments, and Procedures
• Noninvasive procedures for evaluating bone density– Dual Photon Absorptiometry– Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
