Classification Of Bones
Adult skeletons have 206 bones
Bones are made of two basic types of osseous tissue :
Compact Bone
Spongy Bone
Spongy bone
Small needle-like
pieces of bone
Many open spaces

Classification Of Bones
Compact bone is smooth, dense and appears
homogeneous.
Spongy bone is made of needle-like pieces of bone with
plenty of open space
Bones can also be classified by shape as well

Classification Of Bones
Long Bones :
Are longer than they are wide,
Have a shaft, with enlarged heads at both ends,
And are made mostly of compact bone

Sharpeys fibers
Secure periosteum to
underlying bone
Arteries
Supply bone cells with
nutrients

Classification Of Bones
All the bones of the limbs are long bones:
Arm:
Humerus, the upper bone of the arm, articulates
proximally at the shoulder, and distally at the elbow with
the proximal end of the ulna.
The Radius is the lateral bone of the lower arm
The Ulna is the medial bone of the lower arm
14
Classification Of Bones
Leg:
Femur, largest, strongest bone of the body. Articulates
proximally with the acetabulum of the hip, and distally with the
tibia to form the knee joint.
Tibia, larger of the two bones of the lower leg,
commonly called the shin bone; proximal end
atriculates with the distal end of the femur to form the
knee joint. The distal end articulates with the tarsals to
help form the ankle.
Fibula is the smaller of the bones of the lower leg; the
proximal end does not help form the knee, but the distal
end does help form the ankle.

Classification Of Bones
Short Bones:
Are generally cube shaped, and contain mostly spongy
bone.
The patella, or kneecap, and the bones of the
wrist(carpals) and bones of the ankle(tarsals) are
examples of short bones.
The patella is a sesamoid bone, which forms inside a tendon.
16
Classification Of Bones
Flat Bones:
Are thin, flat and usually curved.
Are composed as a sandwitch of spongy bone
between layers of compact bone.
Examples include most bones of the skull, the ribs, and
the sternum.
17
Classification Of Bones
Irregular Bones:
All bones that do not fit into any previous group are
irregular bones.
The vertebrae and the bones of the hip are examples.

Bone Growth
Epiphyseal plates allow for growth of long
bone during childhood
New cartilage is continuously formed
Older cartilage becomes ossified
Cartilage is broken down
Bone replaces cartilage
40
Figure41
5.4b
Bone Growth
Bones are remodeled and lengthened until
growth stops
Bones change shape somewhat
Bones grow in width
42
Bone Growth
Osteoblasts in the periosteum add new bone tissue
to the external surface of the bone.
Appositional growth is the process by which a
bone widens
Long bone growth is under hormonal control;
growth hormone and sex hormones
Bones are dynamic structures, and are remodeled
constantly in response to:
43
Bone Growth
Ca+ in the blood
Stress due to gravity
Force applied by skeletal muscles
When Ca+ levels drop the parathyroid gland
releases parathyroid hormone (PTH) which
stimulates osteoclast activity.
This releases Ca+ into the blood
44
Bone Remodeling
If Ca+ levels in the blood are too high, a condition
known as hypercalcemia, then Ca+ is deposited on
the bones.
Bone Remodeling
Bones maintain normal proportions during long
bone growth
Increased demands on the skeleton cause it
change in response
45
Bone Remodeling
Activity helps build strong bones
Inactivity causes bones to lose mass due to Ca
loss, (atrophy)
PTH determines when and if bones are broken
down.
Physical stress determines where bone is built

Bone Fractures
A break in a bone
Types of bone fractures
Closed (simple) fracture break that does not
penetrate the skin
Open (compound) fracture broken bone
penetrates through the skin

Fetal Skull
The fetal skull is large when compared to the body
of the fetus.
A newborns skull has regions that have yet to be
converted to bone.
These soft spots are called fontanels ( little
fountains)
The rhythm of the babys pulse can be felt in these
areas.
They are usually converted to bone 22 to 24 months
post partum.

Vertebral Column
Is formed by 26 irregular bones
Is a flexible, curved structure extending
from the skull to the pelvis
Protects the delicate spinal cord
Transmits the weight load of the body to
the lower limbs
78
Figure79
5.14
Vertebral column
There are 33 separate vertebrae at birth
Nine of these fuse to for the composite
bones of the sacrum and the coccyx
From superior to inferior the bones are
designated by location and number

The number of bones in each group can

7 Cervical

5 Lumbar
Individual vertebrae are separated by
flexible fibrocartilage intervertebral disks
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
81
Vertebral column
The intervertebral disks absorb shock, and
are highly compressible.
They are 90% water
As we age, the water content decreases
and the disks become less flexible
This helps explain why some elderly
people seem to shrink with age.
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
82
Vertebral column
Herniated, or slipped disks can press
against the spinal cord or nerves that exit
the spinal cord..
This can result in extreme pain, and loss
of function
Spinal Curvatures
The spine is curved to help absorb shock.
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
83
84
Vertebral column
The thoracic and sacral curves are called
primary curves because they are present
at birth.
The secondary curves develop later.
The cervical develops when the baby
begins to raise its head, and the lumbar
when the child begins to walk.
85
Structure of Vertebrae
All vertebrae have a similar structural pattern.
Some common features:
Body or centrum: the weight bearing part of the
vertebra, and it faces anteriorly.
Vertebral arch: formed by the joining of all the
posterior extensions from the body of the
vertebrae.
Vertebral foramen: canal through which the
spinal cord passes.
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
86
Structure of Vertebrae
Transverese Process: Two lateral projections
from the vertebral arch
Spinous Process : Single projection arising from
the posterior aspect of the vertebral arch.
Superior and Inferior Articular Processes : paired
projections that allow vertebra to form joints with
adjacent vertebrae
Vertebral arch: formed by the joining of all the
posterior extensions from the body of the
vertebrae.

The Sacrum
Formed by 5 fused vertebrae
Superior aspect articulates with the inferior
aspect of L5
Laterally the wing-like alae articulate with
the hip bones to form the sacroiliac joints
It forms the posterior wall of the pelvis
The vertebral canal continues inside the
sacrum as the sacral canal
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
98
The Sacrum
99
The Coccyx
Formed by the fusion of 3 to 5 tiny
irregular vertebrae
It is the vestigial tail in humans
The Thorax
The sternum, ribs and thoracic vertebrae
make up the thorax, or thoracic cage
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
100
The Thorax
The Thoracic cage surrounds and protects
the heart, lungs and major blood vessels.
The Sternum
Is a flat bone composed of the fusion of 3
bones. Superior to inferior they are:
Manubrium
Body ( Gladiolus)
Xiphoid process
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S

The Thorax
102
The Sternum
The sternum articulates with the first 7
pairs of ribs.
The sternum has 3 important landmarks
The jugular notch
The sternal angle
The xiphisternal joint
103
104
The Sternum
The jugular notch: the concave upper part of the
manubrium, usually at the level of T3
The sternal angle : site where the manubrium
and the gladiolus meet to form a slight angle.
It is the reference point for locating the second
intecostal space for listening to the heart valves
Xiphisternal joint : Where the sternal body and
the xiphoid process meet. Used as a landmark
to locate the level of T9
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
105
The Ribs
12 Pairs of ribs form the thoracic cage
Men and women have the SAME number
of ribs
All ribs articulate with the vertebral column
posteriorly
The first 7 pairs are known as true ribs
because they attach directly to the
sternum by costal cartilage
NORHIZAN ZAINOL i3p, S
keleton
106
The Ribs
The next 5 pairs are false ribs because
they either attach indirectly to the sternum,
or not at all
The last 2 pairs of false ribs lack sternal
attachment, and are called floating ribs
107
Appendicular skeleton
Composed of 126 bones
Shoulder girdle
Also known as the pectoral or shoulder
girdle, consists of 2 bones
Clavicle
Scapula

Scapulae
Also called the shoulder blades
Flat, triangular in appearance, has 2
important processes
Acromion process: the enlarged end of the
spine of the scapula
Coracoid process : points over the top of
the shoulder and helps anchor the
muscles of the arm

Scapulae
The scapula does not attach directly to the
