Skeletal Organization

Number of Bones

• Average number of bones is 206– People may have varying numbers of bones• Ex – sutural bones, sesamoid bones in tendons

Divisions of the Skeleton

• Axial skeleton– Bony and cartilaginous parts that support and

protect the organs of the head, neck, and trunk• Appendicular skeleton– Bones of the upper and lower limbs and the bones

that anchor the limbs to the axial skeletion

Axial Skeleton

• Skull– Includes cranium and facial bones

• Hyoid Bone– Located in neck between lower jaw and the larynx– Does not articulate with any other bones (held in

place by muscles and ligaments)– Supports the tongue– Serves as an attachment point for muscles

associated with the tongue

Axial Skeleton

• Vertebral Column– Consists of vertebrae separted by cartilaginous vertebral discs– Five vertebrae near the distal end are fused to form the

sacrum (part of the pelvis)– Four vertebrae are fused to form the tailbone (coccyx) below

the sacrum• Thoracic Cage– Protects the organs of the thorax and upper abdomen– Consists of 12 pairs of ribs (which articulate with the thoracic

vertebrae) and the sternum (with which most ribs articulate anteriorly)

Appendicular Skeleton

• Pectoral Girdle– Formed by the scapula and the clavicle– Connects the bones of the upper limbs to the axial

skeleton– Aid in upper limb movements

• Upper Limbs– Consists of humerus, radius, ulna, and hand bones

• The humerus, radius, and ulna articulate at the elbow joint• The hand consists of 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14

phalanges

Appendicular Skeleton

• Pelvic Girdle– Formed by two hipbones (coxae) which attach to the

sacrum posteriorly and each other anteriorly– Connects the bones of the lower limbs to the axial skeleton– Forms the pelvis with the sacrum and coccyx

• Protects the lower abdominal and reproductive organs

• Lower Limbs– Consists of the femur, tibia, fibula, and foot

• The femur and tibia articulate at the knee joint which is covered by the patella

• The foot contains 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and 14 phalanges
