Function of Bone (6)
• Support – rigid framework
• Protection – enclose vital structures & viscera
• Body movement – anchoring attachments for most muscles;
act as levers with joints functioning as pivots when muscles
contract to cause movement
• Haemopoiesis – in red marrow
• Mineral storage – in bone matrix
• Lipid storage in emergencies – in yellow marrow
What types of matter are in bone?
Organic: Type I collagen confers flexibility and resistance to stress
Inorganic: Calcium hydroxyapatite crystals give strength
Classifications of Skeleton (2)
Axial
Appendicular
What is included in the Axial Skeleton? What is the main purpose?
Mainly protective
Bones lined up vertically along an axis for support
- Skull
- Vertebral Column
- Ribs
- Sternum
- Hyoid
What is included in the Appendicular Skeleton? What is the main purpose?
To provide motility
Everything that is not Axial Skeleton e.g. femur, fibula, tibia, humerus, ulna, radius
Classification of Bones (5)
- Long
- Short (cuboidal)
- Flat
- Irregular
- Sesamoid
What are Surface Markings of Bones?
They are various markings &/or irregularities (surface raised or roughened) found on bones where fascia, ligaments, tendons or aponeuroses are attached to bone
Surface Marking on Bone: Tuberosity
Roughened, rounded elevation
Surface Marking on Bone: Trochanter
Large projection of the femur
Surface Marking on Bone: Condyle
Large prominence or rounded surface
Surface Marking on Bone: Epicondyle
Smaller prominence above a condyle
Surface Marking on Bone: Tubercle
Smaller elevation
Surface Marking on Bone: Spine or Spinous Process
Slender projection
Surface Marking on Bone: Facet
Flattened surface for joint/muscle attachment
Surface Marking on Bone: Crest
Ridge
Surface Marking on Bone: Sinus
Hollow space
