Anatomy 1: The Final Material Flashcards
- PROTECTION (rib cage, cranium, vertebrae)
- STORAGE AREA (99% of CA is stored in the bones)
- MOVEMENT (by means of tendons)
- SUPPORT ( framework were the soft tissues & bones attach themselves)
- HEMOPOESIS ( the formation of all cells in the blood)
Functions of the skeletal system
Osteology
The study of bones
Hemopoesis
The formation of all cells in the blood
Shape
Individual names
Bones are classified by…
206 in total, with the exception of 2:
How many bones make up the skeletal system?
Sutural (WORMIAN) bones
And
Sesamoid bones
Two bones not included in the 206 bones of the body
Sutural bones
“WORMIAN”
Are small irregular shaped bones that sometimes form along the line of fusion of the cranial bones
Sesamoid Bones
Any bone embedded in the tendon of a muscle
- Axial Skeleton
2. Appendicular Skeleton
Divisions of the skeleton
Axial Skeleton
Consists of 80 bones out of the 206 that make up the skeletal system
Skull
Consists of 28 bones of the 80 bones found in the axial skeleton
Houses the organs of sight and the brain
Part of the axial skeleton
Cranium
Consist of 8 distinct bones, that fuses together to protect the brain
Part of the skull
Face
Consists of 14 classified bones of the 80 bones of the AXIAL SKELETON
In the skull
Auditory Ossicles
“Ear Bones”
6 bones in total
Hyoid
Horseshoe shaped single bone located between the middle of the lower jaw and the voice box
Vertebrae
26 bones that make up the adult spinal column.
Houses the spinal cord
Sternum
“Breast Bone”
1 bone in total
Ribs
Consists of 24 individual bones
Or
12 pairs
Appendicular Skeleton
Consists of 126 of the 206 Bones that make up the skeletal system
Upper extremities & Pectoral Joint
appendages & shoulder joints
Consists of 64 bones
Lower extremities & Pelvic Girdle
appendages & hip joints
Consists of 62 bones
Frontal Bone
“Fore head bone”
1 bone
Supraorbital Margin
“Orbital Cavity”
Superior boundary of the eye sockets
Superciliary Arches
Prominent ridge off the frontal bone, located posterior to the eye brows or “supercillia”
Glabella
Slight elevation located at the medial ends of the superciliary arches.
Middle of the eye brows
Frontal eminences
Two rounded protuberances which give roundness and fullness to the forehead
Frontal air sinuses
Air spaces of the forehead
Parietal Bones
Forms the roof and sides of the cranial vault
Occipital Bone
Bone in which the brain stem passes
Base of the cranial vault
Foramen Magnum
Large opening on the occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes
Occipital Condyles
Two prominences off the occipital bone on both sides of the foramen magnum.
Only part of the skull that has direct contact with the spinal column.
Articulates with the 1st cervicle vertebrae
External Occipital Protuberance
“inion”
Single boney prominence on the base of the skull
Serves as a point of muscle attachment
Temporal Bones
Thickest bone in the left & right temple regions
Helps to form the sides if the cranial vault
Squamous Portion
“Squama”
Thin shell shaped upper portion of the temporal bone
Petrous Portion
Part of each temporal bone that projects into the cranial cavity
3 Auditory Ossicles
Malleus “HAMMER”
Incus “ANVIL”
Stapes “STIRRUP”
Carotid Canal
Passageways through each temporal bone through which the internal carotid arteries pass
Mastoid Portion - Air Cells
Massive part of the temporal bone located directly behind the ear
Mandibular Fossa
Two shallow depressions off the temporal bone through which the mandible or lower jaw articulates
External Auditory Meatus
Passageway through the temporal bone through which sound waves initially pass
Zygomatic Process
Is the boney projection off each temporal bone which goes anteriorly or to the front.
Forms the widest part of the face
Sphenoid Bone
Bat shaped bone inside the skull
Helps to form the middle cranial fossa
