Study
- study of bones that make up the skeleton or framework of the body
Osteology
Osteology functions:
- Protection of vital organs
- Act as levers and attachments
- Give rigidity and form to the body
- Formation of blood cells
- Source of minerals in the body
- DIVISIONS OF SKELETON.
Axial skeleton:
- Skull
- Vertebral column
- Ribs and sternum
- DIVISIONS OF SKELETON.
Appendicular skeleton:
- Thoracic limb
- Pelvic limb
- DIVISIONS OF SKELETON.
Heterotopic bones:
- Os penis
- Os rostri
- Os cordis
CLASSIFICATION OF BONES:
- Short bones
- Long bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
- Sesamoid bones
- Pneumatic bones
Cuboid, equal in all dimensions.
Short Bones
Absorbs concussion, found in complex joints.
Short Bones
Cylindrical, longer in one dimension with shaft/body.
Long bones
Functions mainly as levers and in support locomotion and prehension.
Long bones
Thin and expanded in two
dimensions.
Flat Bones
For protection of vital organs.
Flat Bones
Unpaired bones on the median plane, features prominent processes
Irregular Bones
offer protection, support and
muscular attachment
Irregular Bones
Resembles sesame seed
Sesamoid Bones
Reduce friction, increase leverage or change direction of pull
Sesamoid Bones
Contains air spaces in sinuses that communicate with
the exterior
Pneumatic Bones
Usually found in the bones of birds
Pneumatic Bones
Hard layer covers most bones
and forms the entire shaft of
long bones.
Compact (dense/cortical) bone
Composed of spicules
arranged to form a porous
network
Cancellous (spongy) bone
PARTS OF A TYPICAL LONG BONE:
- Medullary cavity
- Epiphysis
- Diaphysis
- Metaphysis
- Epiphysial cartilage/disk
- Periosteum
- Endosteum
- Articular cartilage
- Space surrounded by cortex of a long
bone
-mRed marrow-young - Yellow marrow-mature
Medullary cavity (marrow cavity)
Medullary cavity also known as?
marrow cavity
End of long bone
Epiphysis
Cylindrical shaft between two epiphyses
Diaphysis
- Flared area adjacent to epiphysis.
- Widest part.
Metaphysis
- Layer of hyaline cartilage.
-mSeparate the diaphysis and epiphysis. - Area where bone lengthens.
Epiphysial cartilage/disk (physis)
- Fibrous membrane.
- Covers surface of the bone except articular surface.
- Osteoblast (bone producing cells) responsible for increase in diameter.
Periosteum
- Lines the marrow cavity.
Endosteum
(bone destroying cells)
deteriorates the size of marrow
cavity
Osteoclast
- Thin layer of hyaline cartilage.
- Covers articular surface of bone.
Articular cartilage
is avascular?
Cartilage
ARTICULAR PROJECTIONS IN A BONE:
- Head
- Condyle
- Trochlea
- Facet
spherical projection (head of femur)
Head
more or less cylindrical mass (condyles of distal femur)
Condyle
pulley – like mass found at distal end of femur, where patella slides
Trochlea
flat surface found between adjacent carpal bones
Facet
NON- ARTICULAR PROJECTION IN A BONE:
- Process
- Tuberosity
- Tubercle
- Spine
- Crest
- Neck
- Line
bony projection (spinous and transverse process of vertebra)
Process
large non-articular projection (lateral tuberosity of humerus)
Tuberosity
small projection
Tubercle
scapula
Spine
sharp ridge
Crest
cylindrical part where head is attache
Neck
small ridge or mark on a bone
Line
ARTICULAR DEPRESSIONS IN A BONE:
- Glenoid cavity
- Cotyloid cavity
- Notch
shallow articular depressions or concavity (scapula)
Glenoid cavity
deep articular depression (acetabulum of the hip it.)
Cotyloid cavity
articular indentation
Notch
NON – ARTICULAR DEPRESSIONS IN A BONE:
- fossa
- fovea
- foramen
- canal
large non-articular depression (infraspinous fossa of scapula)
Fossa
small non-articular depression (fovea capitis on head of femur)
Fovea
hole in bone (foramen magnum)
Foramen
tunnel through one or more bones (vertebral canal)
Canal
THE AXIAL SKELETON:
- The Skull
- The Vertebrae
- The Ribs
- The Sternum
Fxn: enclose the brain form
the caudal and dorsal
walls of the cranium
Cranial bones (cranium)
- Fxn: support the sense
organs - Form passage for the
digestive and respiratory
systems
Facial bones
Horns developed on the frontal bones
Occipital, parietal, interparietal, frontal bones
- Forms the lateral and dorsal wall of the cranium.
- Fxn: contains the middle and inner ear
Temporal bone
- Forms the lateral and ventral walls of the cranium
- Fxn: support the brain and pituitary gland
Sphenoid bone
- Rostrally located, presence of opening for the passage of olfactory nerves- for the sense of smell
Ethmoid bones
CRANIAL BONES.
Paired bones:
- Parietal
- Frontal
- Temporal
CRANIAL BONES.
Unpaired bones:
- Occipital
- Sphenoid
- Ethmoid
- Interparietal
- Forms the bony socket
- Fxn: protects the eye
Orbital Region
Form the dorsal border of orbit
Frontal bones
Form the rostral border of orbit
Lacrimal bones
Form the ventral border of orbit
Zygomatic bones
FACIAL BONES – ORBITAL REGION:
- frontal bones
