  1. The Skeletal System

  2. The Bony Thorax • Forms a cage to protect major organs Figure 5.19a

  3. The Bony Thorax • Made-up of three parts • Sternum • Ribs • Thoracic vertebrae Figure 5.19a

  4. The Appendicular Skeleton • Limbs (appendages) • Pectoral girdle • Pelvic girdle

  5. The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle • Composed of two bones • Clavicle – collarbone • Scapula – shoulder blade • These bones allow the upper limb to have exceptionally free movement

  6. Bones of the Shoulder Girdle Figure 5.20a–b

  7. Bones of the Shoulder Girdle Figure 5.20c–d

  8. Bones of the Upper Limb • The arm is formed by a single bone • Humerus Figure 5.21a–b

  9. Bones of the Upper Limb • The forearm has two bones • Ulna • Radius Figure 5.21c

  10. Bones of the Upper Limb • The hand • Carpals – wrist • Metacarpals – palm • Phalanges – fingers Figure 5.22

  11. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • Hip bones • Composed of three pair of fused bones • Ilium • Ischium • Pubic bone • The total weight of the upper body rests on the pelvis • Protects several organs • Reproductive organs • Urinary bladder • Part of the large intestine
