THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Parts of the skeletal
system
Bones (skeleton)
Joints
Cartilages
Ligaments
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Divided into two divisions
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton –
limbs and girdle
FUNCTIONS
OF THE
SKELETAL
SYSTEM
1. Movement: Skeletal
system provides points of
attachment for muscles.
Your legs and arms move
when the muscles pull on
the bones.
2. Support: The backbone
is the main support center
for the upper body. It
holds your head up and
protects your spinal cord.
3. Protection: The bones
of your skull protect your
brain. Your ribs protect
your lungs and heart from
injury.
4. Makes Blood: Red and
white blood cells are
formed by tissue called
marrow, which is in the
center of the bone.
5. Storage: Bones store
minerals, such as calcium
and phosphorus, for use
by the body
BONES OF THE HUMAN BODY
The skeleton has 206
bones
Two basic types of bone
tissue
BONES OF THE HUMAN BODY
Compact bone
Homogeneous
Spongy bone
Small needle-like pieces
of bone
MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF BONE
Bones areclassified by their
shape:
•long
•short
•flat
•irregular
Classification of Bones on the Basis of
Shape
Long bones
Typically longer than
wide
Have a shaft with heads
at both ends
Contain mostly compact
bone
GROSS ANATOMY OF A
LONG BONE
Diaphysis
Shaft
Composed of compact
bone
GROSS ANATOMY OF A
LONG BONE
Epiphysis
Ends of the bone
Composed mostly of
spongy bone
STRUCTURES OF A LONG
BONE
Periosteum
Outside covering of the
diaphysis
Fibrous connective tissue
membrane
Sharpey’s fibers
Secure periosteum to
underlying bone
Arteries
Supply bone cells with
nutrients

Secure periosteum to
underlying bone
Arteries
Supply bone cells with
nutrients
CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
Short bones
Generally cube-shape
Contain mostly spongy
bone
Examples: Carpals,
tarsals
CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
Flat bones
Thin and flattened
Usually curved
Thin layers of compact
bone around a layer of
spongy bone
CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
Irregular bones
Irregular shape
Do not fit into other
bone classification
categories
TYPES OF BONE CELLS
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells
Osteoblasts
Bone-forming cells
Osteoclasts
Bone-destroying cells
Bone remodeling is a
process by both
osteoblasts and
osteoclasts
CHANGES IN THE HUMAN
SKELETON
In embryos, the skeleton
is primarily hyaline
cartilage
During development,
much of this cartilage is
replaced by bone
CHANGES IN THE HUMAN
SKELETON
Cartilage remains in
isolated areas
Bridge of the nose
Parts of ribs
Joints
BONE GROWTH
Epiphyseal plates allow
for growth of long bone
during childhood
New cartilage is
continuously formed
BONE GROWTH
Older cartilage becomes
ossified
Cartilage is broken down
Bone replaces cartilage

BONE FRACTURES
A break in a bone
Types of bone fractures
Closed (simple) fracture –
break that does not
penetrate the skin
BONE FRACTURES
Open (compound)
fracture – broken bone
penetrates through the
skin
COMMON TYPES OF FRACTURES
Stages in the Healing of a Bone Fracture
Axial skeletonsupports
and protects organs of
head,neck and trunk
Appendicular skeleton
includes bones of limbs
and bones that anchor
them to the axial skeleton
22 bones in skull
6 in middle ears
1 hyoid bone
26 in vertebral column
25 in thoracic cage
4 in pectoral girdle
60 in upper limbs
60 in lower limbs
2 in pelvic girdle
= 206 bones in all

THE AXIAL SKELETON
Forms the longitudinal
part of the body
Divided into three parts

True ribs are directly
attached to the sternum
(1st 7 pairs)
Three false ribs are joined
to the 7th rib two pairs of
floating ribs

Joints
•Fibrous joints connect
bones without allowing any
movement. The bones of
your skull and pelvis are
held together by fibrous
joints.
Joints
•Cartilaginous joints are
joints in which the bones
are attached by cartilage.
These joints allow for only
a little movement, such as
in the spine or ribs.
Joints
•Synovial joints allow for
much more movement
than cartilaginous joints.
Cavities between bones in
synovial joints are filled
with synovial fluid.
• A joint, or articulation,
is the place where two
bones come together.
• There are three typesof
joints classified by the
amount of movement
they allow:
Types of Joints
Hinge- A hinge joint allows
extension and retraction
of an appendage. (Elbow,
Knee)
Types of JointsHinge- A hinge joint allows extension and retraction of
an appendage. (Elbow, Knee)
Ball and Socket- A ball
and socket joint allows for
radial movement in almost
any direction. They are
found in the hips and
shoulders. (Hip, Shoulder)
Ball and Socket- A ball
and socket joint allows for
radial movement in almost
any direction. They are
found in the hips and
shoulders. (Hip, Shoulder)
Pivot joints enable
rotating the forearm at
the elbow and turning the
head from side to side.

Gliding- In a gliding or
plane joint bones slide
past each other. Mid-
carpal and mid- tarsal
joints are gliding joints.

WHAT IS THE
STRUCTURE OF
BONE?
Bones are complex living
structures that undergo
growth and development.
Beneath the outer
membrane is a layer of
compact bone (hard and
dense, but not solid – it is
filled with holes and has
small canals for blood
vessels and nerves).
Inside the compact bone is
a layer of spongy bone.
It has many small spaces,
is light weight, but strong.
Spongy bone is also found
at the ends of bones.
–In the spaces of many
bones there is a soft
connective tissue called
marrow.
–Two types of Marrow:
►Red
►Yellow
–Red Marrow produces
most of the body’s
blood cells.
–Yellow Marrow stores
fat that can serve as
an energy reserve.
The structure of bones
make it both strong and
light weight.
20 % of an adults body
weight is bone.
Bone is made up of 2
minerals:
►Calcium
►Phosphorus
HOW DO BONES DEVELOP?
–As an infant, most of
your skeleton is
cartilage.
–Cartilage is a strong
flexible tissue.
CLAVICLE OR COLLARBONE
►The clavicle, or collar
bone, holds the shoulder
joint away from the rest of
the upper body and is only
as thick as your little finger.
Skeletalsystem 111027103336-phpapp01
►The scapula is located
on the back side of the
ribcage and helps provide
part of the shoulder joint
and movement for the
arms.
1) The cervical region
(neck bones)
2) The thorasic region
(what the ribs attach
to)
3) The lumbar region
(the lower part of the
back)
1) The cervical region (neck bones)
2) The thorasic region (what the ribs attach to)
3) The lumbar region (the lower part of the back)

WHAT ARE JOINTS?
• A joint is a place where
two bones come
together.
• Joints allow the bones
to move in different
ways.
• Two types of joints:
• Immovable
• Movable
WHAT ARE IMMOVABLE JOINTS?
• A joint that allows
little or no
movement
WHAT ARE MOVABLE JOINTS?
• Most of the joint are
movable joints.
• Allow the body to move in
a wide range of
movements.
• Bones in movable joints
are held together by
strong connective tissue
called ligaments.
• Four types of movable
joints:
• Hinge
• Ball-and-socket
• Pivot
