Chapter 6 The Skeletal System: Axial Division
Introduction The axial skeleton: Composed of bones along the central axis of the body Divided into three regions: Skull Vertebral column Thoracic cage
Introduction Functional anatomy of the axial skeleton: Framework that supports and protects organs in the dorsal and ventral body cavities Protects special sense organs for taste, smell, hearing, balance, and vision Attachment sites for muscles that: Adjust the posture of the head, neck, and trunk Move the thoracic cage for respiration Stabilize the appendicular skeleton

The Skull of an Infant Functional anatomy of the fontanels Allow flexibility of the skull bones during the birthing process These membranous areas are actually the dura mater of the brain, which is a thick membranous material that helps to protect the brain. You can feel the infant’s pulse in the area of the anterior fontanel. Blood vessels lie deep to the fontanel.
The Vertebral Column The adult vertebral column is made up of 26 bones: 24 vertebrae 7 cervical vertebrae 12 thoracic vertebrae 5 lumbar vertebrae 1 sacrum (5 fused vertebrae) 1 coccyx (3 to 5 fused vertebrae)
The Vertebral Column Functional anatomy of the vertebral column Encloses and protects the spinal cord Supports the skull Supports the weight of the head, neck, and trunk Transfers weight to the lower limbs Helps maintain the upright position of the body
The Vertebral Column There are 4 major curves of the vertebral column Cervical curve Thoracic curve Lumbar curve Sacral curve These curves, along with muscle attachment to the various vertebral processes, help to maintain balance
The Vertebral Column The developing infant lacks balance They lack the proper curvature They lack muscle coordination
The Vertebral Column Special features of the vertebrae Cervical number 1 is the atlas The atlas articulates with the occipital condyles of the skull Cervical number 2 is the axis The axis allows rotation of the head The ribs articulate with the 12 thoracic vertebrae The lumbar vertebrae support the weight of the torso
