  1. Chapter 7The Skeletal System: The Axial Skeleton

  2. Skeletal SystemGross Anatomy Chapter 7

  3. Skeletal System • Provides framework • Without skeleton, muscles couldn’t move body • Components • Bones • Cartilage • Ligaments • Tendons • Relationships among bones and soft tissues

  4. Skeleton • Axial skeleton • Skull • Hyoid bone • Vertebral column • Thoracic (rib) cage • Appendicular skeleton • Limbs • Girdles

  5. The Complete Skeleton

  6. Terms Body: Main part Head: Enlarge end Neck: Constriction between head and body Margin or border: Edge Angle: Bend Ramus: Branch off body Condyle: Smooth rounded articular surface Facet: Small flattened articular surface Projections Process: Prominent projection Tubercle: Small rounded bump Tuberosity: Knob Trochanter: Tuberosities on proximal femur Epicondyle: Near or above condyle Anatomic Bone Features

  7. Ridges Line or linea: Low ridge Crest or crista: Prominent ridge Spine: Very high ridge Openings Foramen: Hole Canal or meatus: Tunnel Fissure: Cleft Sinus or Labyrinth: Cavity Depressions Fossa: General term for a depression Notch: Depression in bone margin Fovea: Little pit Groove or sulcus: Deeper, narrow depression Anatomic Bone Features

  8. The Skull or Cranium • Functions • Protects brain • Supports organs of special senses • Provides foundation for structures that take air, food , water into body • Superior view of skull • Parietal bones • Frontal bone • Sagittal suture • Coronal suture

  9. Posterior View of Skull • Occipital bone • Lambdoid suture • Sutural bones • External occipital protuberance • Ligamentum nuchae: Helps keep head erect • Nuchal lines: Neck muscle attachment points

  10. Lateral View of Skull • Squamous suture • External auditory meatus • Mastoid Process • Temporal lines • Sphenoid bone • Zygomatic bones • Maxilla • Mandible

  11. Frontal View of Skull • Frontal bone • Zygomatic bones • Maxillae • Mandible • Orbits • Nasolacrimal canal • Optic foramen

  12. Bones of Nasal Cavity

  13. Paranasal Sinuses • Functions • Decrease skull weight • Resonating chambers • Names • Frontal • Maxillary • Ethmoidal • Sphenoidal

  14. Inferior View of Skull • Foramen magnum • Occipital condyles • Jugular foramina • Styloid processes • Vomer bone • Hard or bony palate

  15. Hyoid Bone • Unpaired • No direct bony attachment to skull • Attachment point for some tongue muscles • Attachment point for neck muscles that elevate larynx during speech and swallowing

  16. Vertebral Column • Supports weightof head and trunk • Protects the spinal cord • Allow spinal nerves to exit the spinal cord • Provides site for muscleattachment • Permits movement of head and trunk

  17. Vertebra • Body • Vertebral foramen • Vertebral arch • Pedicle • Lamina • Transverse process • Spinous process • Articular processes

  18. Intervertebral Disks • Located between adjacent vertebrae • Functions • Provide support • Prevent vertebrae rubbing • Consist of • Annulus fibrosus • Nucleus pulposus

  19. Herniated or Ruptured Disk

  20. Spina Bifida

  21. Vertebral Column • Regions • Cervical (7 vertebrae) • Thoracic (12 vertebrae) • Lumbar (5 vertebrae) • Sacral bone (1) • Coccygeal bone (1) • Major Curvatures (4) • Abnormal curvatures • Lordosis • Kyphosis • Scoliosis

  22. Cervical Vertebrae • Atlas • First vertebra • Axis • Second vertebra • Dens or odontoid process • Vertebral prominens

  23. Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebrae

  24. Sacrum and Coccyx

  25. Thoracic or Rib Cage • Functions • Protects vital organs • Forms semi-rigid chamber for respiration • Parts • Thoracic vertebrae • Ribs (12 pair) • True or Vertebrosternal • False or Vertebrochondral • Floating or vertebral • Sternum

  26. Sternum • Breastbone • Parts • Manubrium • Body • Xiphoidprocess • Sternal angle • Important landmark for counting ribs to locate areas of the heart
