Transcript The Hyoid Bone
Regions of the Human Skeleton
Axial skeleton:
skull (cranium and facial bones)
hyoid bone (anchors tongue and muscles
associated with swallowing)
vertebral column (vertebrae and disks)
bony thorax (ribs and sternum)
Appendicular skeleton:
pectoral girdle (clavicles and scapulae)
upper limbs (arms)
pelvic girdle (sacrum, coccyx)
lower limbs (legs)
Articulation- where joints meet, connect, and are formed.
206 Bones in a Human Adult Skeleton
22 bones in skull
6 in middle ears
1 hyoid bone
26 in vertebral column
25 in thoracic cage
4 in pectoral girdle
60 in upper limbs
60 in lower limbs
2 in pelvic girdle
The Axial Skeleton
Forms the longitudinal part of the body
Divided into three parts

The Axial Skeleton
Bones of the Skull- Frontal View (10.4)
Cranium:
-8 sutured bones
-Encases brain
-Muscle attachment
-Sinuses
Facial bones:
-13 sutured bones
-1 mandible

The Fetal Skull: Superior View (10.9)
•Skull bones are still incomplete
•Fontanels (“little fountain”):
•Unossified remnants of fibrous membranes
•Pulse can be felt surging in these “soft spots”
•Allow infants head to be compressed slightly during birth
•Accommodate brain growth in fetus & infant
•Anterior fontanel
remains soft until 1.52yrs of age
•Others are replaced by
bone by the end of the
first year
Fetal Skull: Lateral View (10.9)
Paranasal Sinuses (10.6)
• Mucus lined, hollow, air-filled portions of bones surrounding the
nasal cavity
• Mucoase of sinus help to warm and humidify inspired air
The Hyoid Bone
The only bone that does not
articulate with another bone
Anchored by narrow
stylohyoid ligaments to
syloid process of temporal
bone.
Serves as a moveable base
for the tongue

The Vertebral Column
Vertebrae separated by
intervertebral discs
Spine has a normal curvature
Vertebrae vary in size and
morphology
Each vertebrae named according
to location:
7 cervical vertebrae
12 thoracic
5 lumbar
1 sacrum (5 fused)
1 coccyx (4 fused)
Structure of a Typical Vertebrae
Thoracic Cage
•Ribs, thoracic vertebrae, sternum, costal cartilages
•True ribs -directly attached to sternum (1st seven pairs
•Three false ribs are joined to the 7th rib
•Two pairs of floating ribs
Shoulder Girdle & Upper Limb
Pelvic Girdle
