5 type of bones
- long bone
- short bone
- flat bones
- irregular bones
- sesamoid
long bone
-slightly curved for strength
-ex. femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, phalanges
short bones
-cube shape, even width and length
-consists mostly of spongy bone, covered in thin layer of compact bone
-ex. carpal bone, tarsal bone
flat bone
-thin
-composed of 2 nearly parallel plates of compact bone tissue enclosing a layer of spongy tissue
irregular bones
-complex shapes
-both spongy and compact
-ex. vertebrae, hip bone, facial bones, calcaneus
sesamoid bones
-in certain tendons where there is friction, tension and physical stress
-protect the tendons from wear and tear, change the direction of pull of tendon which improves mechanical advantage
-# vary from person to person
-ex. patella
surface markings
depressions and openings
processes
depressions and openings
allows passage of soft tissue (nerves, blood vessels, ligaments. or tendons) or formation of joints
fissure
-narrow slit between adjacent parts of bones where blood vessels/ nerves pass
-ex. superior orbital fissure of sphenoid bone
foramen
-opening through which blood vessels, nerves or ligaments pass
-ex. optic foramen of sphenoid
fossa
shallow depression
-ex. coronoid fossa of humerus
sulcus
furrow along bone surface that accommodates blood vessels, nerves, tendons
-ex. inter-tubular sulcus of humerus
meatus
tubelike opening
-ex. external auditory meatus of temporal bone
processes
projections/outgrowths on bone that form joints/attachment point for connective tissue
processes for joints
condyle
facet
head
processes for attachment for connective tissue
crest
epicondyle
line
spinous process
trochanter
tubercle
tuberosity
condyle
large, round protuberance with a smooth articular surface at the end of the bone
-ex. lateral condyle of femur
facet
smooth, flat, slightly concave/convex articular surface
-ex. superior articular facet of vertebrae
head
usually rounded articular projection supported on neck of bone
-ex. head of femur
crest
prominent ridge/elongated projection
-ex. iliac crest of the hip
epicondyle
typically roughened projectile above condyle
-ex. medial epicondyle of femur
line
long, narrow ridge or border
-ex. linea aspira of femur
spinous process
sharp, slender projection
-ex.spinous process of vertebrae
trochanter
very large projection
-ex. greater trochanter of femur
tubercle
variably sized round projection
-ex. greater tubercle of humerus
tuberosity
variably sized projection that has rough, bumpy surface
-ex. ischial tuberosity of hip
how many bones in the skull
22
2 skull categories
cranial and facial
cranial bones
-protect the brain
-8 cranial= frontal, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid
facial bones
-14 facial
-2 nasal, 2 maxilla, 2 zygomatic, mandible, 2 lacrimal, 2 palatine, 2 inferior nasal conchae, vomer
function of skull
-stabilizes the positions of brain, blood vessels , lymphatic vessels and nerves through the attachment of their inner surface to membrane
-protect brain
-outer surfaces provide area for muscle attachment to move head
-form several smaller cavities: nasal cavity and orbits, paranormal sinus, middle ear cavity
what is frontal bone made of
-forehead
-roof of orbits
-most of anterior part if cranial floor
-frontal squama
-supraorbital margin
-frontal sinuses
how is frontal bone united
metopic suture which disappears after age 6-8
frontal squama
plate that forms forehead
supraorbital margin
superior border of orbits thicken
frontal sinuses
deep to frontal squama
parietal bones
-2 of them form the greater portion of sides of roof of cranial cavity
-internal surfaces contain protrusions and depressions that accommodate the blood vessels supplying the dua mater, superficial connective tissue covering the brain
temporal bone
form interior lateral aspects of cranium and part of cranial floor
temporal squama
forms anterior and superior part of the temple
zygomatic process
articulates with temporal process of zygomatic bone
zygomatic arch
zygomatic process and temporal process
mandibular fossa
inferior posterior surface of zygomatic process
tempormandibular joint
mandibular fossa and articular tubercle articulate with mandible
mastoid portion
posterior and inferior to external auditory meatus
mastoditis
middle ear infection spread to mastoid air cells
mastoid process
rounded projection of mastoid portion of the temporal, point of attachment for neck muscles
internal auditory meatus
opening where facial nerves and vestibulocochlear nerve pass
styloid process
point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of tongue and neck
