THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Focus on the Skull
Review Anatomical Terms
Anterior/Posterior
Dorsal/Ventral
Medial/Lateral
Superior/Inferior
Bone Markings - Review
Projections for attachment of muscles, ligaments and tendons
(Process, trochanter, tuberosity, tubercle, crest, line, spine)
Processes for articulation with other bones
(Head, neck, condyle, trochlea, facet)
Openings = holes or spaces in bone for nerves and vessels
to pass (Foramen, canal, meatus, fissure, sinus)
Depressions = indentations (Fossa, sulcus)
Axial Skeleton
Includes bones of the skull, vertebral column and
thoracic cage
Creates a framework of support and protection for
internal organs
Provides sites of attachment of muscles
The Skull
Protects the brain and supports delicate sense organs
Bones that form the skull include
8 cranial bones
14 facial bones
6 auditory ossicles (tiny bones in the ears)
Hyoid bone (the only freely moveable bone)
Bones are joined by sutures
Bones of the Cranium
Frontal bone (1)- forms the forehead and roof of the ocular orbits
Parietal Bone (2) – posterior to the frontal bone; forms the sides and roof of skull
Occiptal Bone (1) – most posterior part of the cranium
foramen magnum = large opening for spine
Temporal Bone (2) – form the sides and base of the skull; a number of distinct anatomical landmarks
Sutures of the Cranium
Sagittal Suture – midline suture; between parietal bones
Coronal Suture – between frontal bone and parietal
bones
Lambdoid Suture – between occipital and parietal bones
Squamous Suture– between the temporal bones and the
parietal bones

THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Continue with the vertebrae
Vertebral Column
Consists of 26 bones
24 vertebrae
Sacrum
Coccyx
Vertebrae separated by
cartilage (intervertebral
discs)
Subdivided based on
vertebral structure
Vertebrae Anatomy - general
Vertebral body – massive weight bearing portion
Vertebral foramen – the opening through which the
spinal cord passes
Articular processes – extensions of the vertebrae that
articulate with other bones or provide attachment for
muscles
Transverse processes
Superior articular processes
Inferior articular processes
Vertebrae Anatomy - General
Vertebrae Anatomy by region
Cervical Region
Seven cervical vertebrae (C1 to C7)
The first cervical vertebrae (C1; atlas) articulates
with the occipital condyle

Sacrum Region
sacrum
Single bone formed by the fusion of 5 embryonic
vertebrae
Sacrum
Protects reproductive, digestive and excretory organs
Attaches the axial skeleton to the appendicular skeleton
Broad surface – attachment of leg muscles
Bones fuse shortly after puberty
Prominent bulge (sacral promontory) is an important
landmark in females during labor and delivery
Coccyx
Coccyx
Series of small fused vertebrae
Coccyx
Attachment site for muscle that closes that anal opening
Fusion of the bone is not complete until late in adulthood
May eventually fuse with the sacrum
Normal Spinal Curvature
Four spinal curves (seen in lateral view)
Primary curves
Thoracic and sacral curves
Appear late in fetal development
Secondary curves
Cervical curve as baby holds head up
Lumbar curve as baby learns to stand
Normal Spinal Curvature
Spinal curvature development
Cervical curvature develops as a baby learns to
hold its head
Spinal curvature development
Lumbar curvature develops as a baby learns to
stand
Abnormal spinal curvature
Several abnormal conditions can arise during
childhood and adolescence
Kyphosis – exaggerated thoracic curvature
Lordosis – exaggerated lumbar curvature
Scoliosis – abnormal lateral curvature
Kyphosis
Lordosis
Scoliosis
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Continue with the Thoracic Cage
Thoracic Cage
Consists of the thoracic vertebrae, the ribs and the
sternum
Ribs + sternum = rib cage
Provides bony support for the walls of the thoracic cavity
Protects heart and lungs
Serves as base for muscles involved in respiration
Ribs
AKA costal bones
Elongated flattened bones
12 pairs
Ribs 1-7 = true ribs attach to the sternum by separate
cartilage extensions
Ribs 8-10 = false ribs; do not attach directly to the sternum;
cartilages fuse before attachment
Ribs 11-12 = floating ribs; do not connect to sternum at all
Sternum
AKA breastbone
3 parts
1. Manubrium = Broad triangular part
articulates with clavicle
2. Elongated body articulates with ribs
3. Ziphoid process
Damage to this process can puncture the liver
CPR training places special emphasis on location of this part of the
sternum to reduce damage during compressions
