Two Major Skeletal
System Parts
Axial Skeleton - skull, spine, ribs and sternum.
Appendicular Skeleton - appendages of the body, which are the shoulders, arms, hips, and legs.
Four basic bone
shapes
- Long- arms, legs and fingers
- Short- wrist and ankles
- Flat- skull and sternum
- Irregular- spine
Structure of Bone
(Typical Four Layers)
- Periosteum
- Compact Bone hard & dense, not solid)
- Spongy Bone (light weight)
- Bone Marrow (Soft connective tissue)
Covers Bones
Periosteum
- Lies inside the compact bone
- small spaces but strong, found at the ends of bones.
Spongy Bone (light weight):
____________ - hard & dense, not solid)- Lies beneath the
periosteum
- filled with holes and small canals for blood vessels and nerves
Compact Bone
stores fat for energy reserve
Yellow Marrow -
Fills the gaps between
the spongy bone
Bone Marrow (Soft connective tissue):
produces most of the body’s blood cells. RBC,
WBC
Red Marrow
Development of
Bones
- Cartilage – mostly in infants
- strong flexible tissue.
- Over time it is replaced by solid bone in growth development
- Not all cartilage is replaced in adults
- Coastal Cartilage - hyaline cartilage that serve to prolong the ribs forward
- Extension lang sa ribs
- both strong and light weight
- 20 % of an adult’s body weight is bone.
- Bone is made up of 2 minerals: Calcium, Phosphorus
How Strong are Bones
- holds the shoulder joint away from the rest of the upper body
- thick as your little finger
Clavicle or Collarbone
- on the back side of the ribcage
- helps provide part of the shoulder joint
- movement for the arms.
