• Many organs are named for their relationships to nearby bones • Understanding muscle movements also depends on knowledge of skeletal anatomy • Positions, shapes, and processes of bones can serve as landmarks for clinicians

Metatarsal bones Tarsus Figure 8.1 Phalanges 8-3 (a) Anterior view (b) Posterior view Bones of the Skeletal System
• Number of bones – 206 in typical adult skeleton • Varies with development of sesamoid bones – Bones that form within tendons (e.g., patella) • Varies with presence of sutural (wormian) bones in skull – Extra bones that develop in skull suture lines – 270 bones at birth, but number decreases with fusion
8-4 Anatomical Features of Bones
• Bone markings—ridges, spines, bumps, depressions, canals, pores, slits, cavities, and articular surfaces
• Ways to study bones – Articulated skeleton: held together by wire and rods, shows spatial relationships between bones – Disarticulated bones: taken apart so their surface features can be studied in detail

• Humans are only animals habitually bipedal – 3.6-million-year-old human footprints indicate upright walking • Adaptations – Strong, springy foot arches – Great toe not opposable – Femurs angle inward so knees are closer together— erect posture requires less muscular effort – Viscera supported in bowl-shaped pelvis – Insertions of gluteal muscles differ from other primates
