How many bones do humans have? • When you were born you had over 300 bones. As you grew, some of these bones began to fuse together. The result? An adult has only 206 bones! Factoids: • The human hand has 27 bones; your face has 14! • The longest bone in your body? Your thigh bone, the femur -- it's about 1/4 of your height. The smallest is the stirrup bone in the ear which can measure 1/10 of an inch. • Did you know that humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks? Giraffe neck vertebrae are just much, much longer! • You have over 230 moveable and semi-moveable joints in your body. The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system Bones (skeleton) Joints Cartilages Ligaments (bone to bone)(tendon=bone to muscle) Divided into two divisions Axial skeleton- skull, spinal column Appendicular skeleton – limbs and girdle Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Functions of Bones Support of the body Protection of soft organs Movement due to attached skeletal muscles Storage of minerals and fats Blood cell formation Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Bones of the Human Body The skeleton has 206 bones Two basic types of bone tissue Compact bone Homogeneous Spongy bone Small needle-like pieces of bone Figure 5.2b Many open spaces Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Bones are classified by their shape: 1. Long- bones are longer than they are wide (arms, legs) 2. Short- usually square in shape, cube like (wrist, ankle) 3. Flat- flat , curved (skull, Sternum) 4. Irregular- odd shapes (vertebrae, pelvis) Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape Figure 5.1 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Types of Bone Cells Osteocytes Mature bone cells Osteoblasts Bone-forming cells Osteoclasts Bone-destroying cells Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium Bone remodeling is a process by both osteoblasts and osteoclasts Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Changes in the Human Skeleton In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline cartilage During development, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone Cartilage remains in isolated areas Bridge of the nose Parts of ribs Joints Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Joints A joint, or articulation, is the place where two bones come together. • Fibrous- Immovable:connect bones, no movement. (skull and pelvis). • Cartilaginous- slightly movable, bones are attached by cartilage, a little movement (spine or ribs). • Synovial- freely movable, much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavities between bones are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate and protect the bones. The Synovial Joint Figure 5.28 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.51 Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shape Figure 5.29a–c Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.52a Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shape Figure 5.29d–f Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.52b Types of Joints Hinge- A hinge joint allows extension and retraction of an appendage. (Elbow, Knee) Ball and Socket- A ball and socket joint allows for radial movement in almost any direction. They are found in the hips and shoulders. (Hip, Shoulder) Gliding- In a gliding or plane joint bones slide past each other. Mid-carpal and mid- tarsal joints are gliding joints. (Hands, Feet) Saddle- This type of joint occurs when the touching surfaces of two bones have both concave and convex regions with the shapes of the two bones complementing one other and allowing a wide range of movement. (Thumb) Bone Fractures A break in a bone Types of bone fractures Closed (simple) fracture – break that does not penetrate the skin Open (compound) fracture – broken bone penetrates through the skin Greenstick- frays, hard to repair, breaks like a green twig Bone fractures are treated by reduction and immobilization Realignment of the bone The Axial Skeleton Forms the longitudinal part of the body Divided into three parts Skull Vertebral Column Rib Cage Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.20a The Axial Skeleton This is the main body including the pelvis, thorax, and skull (excluding the arms and legs).

The spine • Is divided into 5 main areas and each verebrae has a letter and number. – Cervical vetebrae C1 - C7 the neck region. C1 is the upper most vertebrae. (7 total) – Thoracic vertabrae T1 - T12 vertebrae of the upper body or thorax. (12 total) – Lumbar vertebrae L1 - L5 vertebrae of the lower back (5 total) – Bones of the sacrum S1 - S5 vertebra within the pelvic girdle. These bones fuse together between ages 16 and 18. (5 fused into 1) – The coccyx Co1 - Co4 The lower tip of the spine. These bones fuse together between ages 20 to 30.
