Overview of the Skeleton
1
The skeletal system includes
Bones of the skeleton
Cartilages, ligaments and other
connective tissues that stabilize and
connect
2
Functions of the skeletal system
Support
Storage of minerals and lipids
Blood cell production
Protection
Leverage
3
Subdivisions of the skeleton
Axial
Lies around the body’s center of gravity
Appendicular
Limbs
4
Bone structure = two types of bone
Compact bone (dense)
Spongy bone (cancellous)
trabecula
5
Classification of bones
By the shape
Long
Flat
Short
Irregular
Sesamoid
Sutural
6
Classification of bones
7
Bone Markings
(Surface Features)
8
Bone markings
Projection that are sites of muscle and ligament
attachment:
Tubercle (tubercle of the rib)
Tuberosity (tibial tuberosity)
Trochanter (femur)
Epicondyle (medial epicondyle-femur)
Line (line aspera-femur)
Crest (pubic crest)
Process (spinous process)
Spine (ischial spine)
9
Bone markings
Projections that help to form joints:
Head (femur)
Facet (costal facet)
Condyle (femur)
Ramus (mandible)
10
Bone markings
Cavities:
Sinus (maxillary)
11
Bone markings
Depressions and openings for blood vessels
and nerves to pass:
Foramen (ovale)
Meatus (acoustic meatus)
Fissure (orbital)
Fossa (posterior cranial fossa)
12
A typical long bone includes
Diaphysis
Periosteum
Perforating fibers (Sharpey’s)
Endosteum
Epiphyses
Epiphysial plate
Epiphysial line
13
A typical long bone includes
Articular cartilage
Marrow cavity
Filled with red or yellow marrow

The Histology of Compact Bone
18
Compact bone
Basic unit of compact bone is an osteon
Osteocytes
Lacunae
Perforating canals (Volkmann’s)
Central canal

Compact bone
Canaliculi
Lamella
