  • Musculo-Skeletal System
    Musculo-Skeletal System (Trunk, Limbs, and Head) somite: ectoderm dermatome General Statements: myotome Bilaterally, paraxial mesoderm become sclerotome neural crest somites and somitomeres. (Somitomeres develop ros- intermediate tral to the notochord in the head. They are like somites, but mesoderm neural tube smaller and less distinctly organized.) The mesoderm somatic mesoderm comprising each somite differentiates into three notochord regions: endoderm aorta — dermatome (lateral) which migrates to form dermis of the skin coelom — sclerotome (medial) forms most of the splanchnic mesoderm axial skeleton (vertebrae, ribs, and base of the skull). Mesoderm Regions — myotome (middle) forms skeletal mus- culature. Individual adult muscles are produced by merger of adjacent myotomes. Note: Nerves make early connections with adjacent myotomes and dermatomes, establishing a segmental innervation pattern. As myotome/dermatome cells migrate to assume adult positions, the segmental nerve supply must follow along to maintain its connection to the innervation target. (Recurrent laryngeal & phrenic nerves travel long distances because their targets migrated far away.) Skin. Consists of dermis and epidermis. Epidermis, including hair follicles & glands, is derived from ectoderm. Neural crest cells migrate into epidermis and become melanocytes. (Other neural crest cells become tactile disc receptors.) Dermis arises from mesoderm (dermatomes of somites). Each dermatome forms a continu- ous area of skin innervated by one spinal nerve. Because adjacent dermatomes overlap, a locus of adult skin is formed by 2 or 3 dermatomes, and innervated by 2 or 3 spinal nerves. Muscle. Muscles develop from mesoderm, except for muscles of the iris which arise from optic cup ectoderm. Cardiac and smooth muscles originate from splanchnic mesoderm.

  • Lab Manual Axial Skeleton Atla
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled.

  • BODY MOVEMENTS and LOCOMOTION in HUMAN BEINGS Locomotion Is the Main Characteristic Feature That Distinguishes Animals from Plants
    CHAPTER 8 MODULE 2 RECAP Movement is when a living organism moves a body part or parts without changing the position of the organism Animals carry out many activities which involve the displacement of an organism from its original position. This activity carried out by the organism is called locomotion. MOVABLE JOINT- Joints where bones can move IMMOVABLE JOINT-Joints where bones cannot move. Types of movable joints: Pivot joint, Ball and Socket joint , Hinge joint, Gliding joints BODY MOVEMENTS AND LOCOMOTION IN HUMAN BEINGS Locomotion is the main characteristic feature that distinguishes animals from plants. In human beings, various body movements and locomotion are controlled by skeletal system and muscular system.. The skeletal system is made of bones and muscular system is made of muscles. SKELETAL SYSTEM SKELETAL SYSTEM CONTINUED…. The system that supports the overall body by providing a definite shape and helps in the movement is known as skeletal system. Skeleton is the framework of bones in the body. The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones. They are very hard on the outer side and soft on the inner side. FUNCTIONS OF SKELETON FUNCTIONS OF SKELETON Protection to vital organs. Support to body. Shape to body. Movement of body organs HUMAN SKELETAL SYSTEM CONTINUED…. AXIAL SKELETON The axial skeleton is made of following parts. Skull Vertebral column(backbone) Sternum(breast bone) AXIAL SKELETON APPENDICULAR SKELETON The appendicular skeleton consists of upper and lower limbs and girdles. The bones that provide support and space for the movement of limb bones are known as girdles. Pectoral girdle is located on upper part of body.

  • Axial Skeleton •The Basic Features of the Human Skeleton Have Been Shaped by Evolution, but the Detailed Characteristics of Each Bone Reflect the Stresses Put on It
    The Axial Skeleton •The basic features of the human skeleton have been shaped by evolution, but the detailed characteristics of each bone reflect the stresses put on it . As a result, the skeleton changes during its lifetime. The skeletal system is divided into: 1. Axial Division: bones of the body’s axis (skulll, ribs, vertebrae) 2. Appendicular Division: bones appended to the axial bones of the body (arms, legs, shoulders, hands, feet, etc.) There are roughly 80 bones in the Axial skeleton, and they form the bones of the longitudinal axis of the body (roughly 40% of the bones in the human body) Skull Bones: 8 cranial, 18 facial Associated Skull Bones: 6 auditory ossicles, 1 hyoid bone Thoracic Bones: 1 sternum, 24 ribs Vertebral Bones: 24 vertebrae, 1 sacrum, 1 coccyx 1 The functions of the axial skeleton are: 1. Create a framework to support and protect organs in the dorsal and ventral cavities 2. Provide extensive surface area for the attachment of muscles that: a. adjjpust the position of the head, neck and trunk b. perform respiratory movement c. stabilize or position the appendicular skeleton • The joints of the axial skeleton are limiting in terms of movement, but are VERY strong and heavily reinforced with ligaments. The Skull •The bones of the skull protect the brain and guard the entrances to the digestive and respiratory systems. The skull contains 22 bones. Eight bones form the majority of the cranium or braincase: a. occipital b. parietal (L-R) c. frontal d. temporal (L- R) e. sphenoid (L-R) •These bones along with the ethmoid (a facial bone) completely enclose the brain case.

  • The Human Axial Skeleton
    BIOL 2401 Lab The Human Axial Skeleton Objectives 1. List the two division of the human skeleton 2. Distinguish between the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. 3. Name and list the number of bones in the axial and appendicular skeleton 4. Define the terms used to describe bone markings. INTRODUCTION The adult skeletal system consists of 206 bones and it is divided into axial and appendicular skeleton. Besides supporting and protecting organs of the body, the skeletal system provides sites for skeletal muscle attachments, stores lipids, calcium, and phosphorus, and blood cell formation goes on within the red marrow cavities. The axial skeleton consists of bones that protect the head, neck, and trunk. Specifically, the bones that make up the axial skeleton are: 1. Skull: made of the cranium (encases the brain) and facial bones. 2. Auditory ossicles: located in the middle ear region. 3. Hyoid bone: located in the neck region; it supports the tongue and muscles that move the tongue. 4. Vertebral Column: consists of several vertebrae protecting the spinal cord. 5. Thoracic Cage: protects the organs of the thoracic cavity; made of ribs and sternum. The appendicular skeleton consists of bones of the arms, legs, and the bones that anchor the arms and legs to the axial skeleton. Specifically, the appendicular skeleton is composed of the following bones: 1. Upper limbs: bones in the arms and hands. 2. Pectoral girdle: formed by the scapula and the clavicle. 3. Lower limbs: bones in the legs and feet. 4. Pelvic girdle: formed by 2 coxae. NOTE: the sacrum, coccyx, and coxae together make up what is called the pelvis.
