THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Chapter 7
START
SWBAT: Analyze the necessary parts needed for
the axial skeleton system to provide support for
the whole body
 SW analyze how each part of the axial skeleton
system provides support to the body.

AXIAL SKELETON
-SKULL, VERTEBRAL COLUMN, BONY
THORAX
APPENDICULAR SKELETON
THE SKULL

Two Types
Cranial
 Facial

CRANIUM
CRANIAL BONES
All individual bones are united by immovable
junction lines called sutures
 Frontal- forms the forehead, roof of nasal cavity
and orbits
 Parietal- form superior and lateral walls
 Temporal- lie inferior to parietal bones
 Occipital- Most posterior bone of the cranium and
forms floor and back wall of skull

CRANIUM


Four sutures of the cranium

Coronal suture: parietal bone meets the frontal bone, runs in the
coronal plane

Squamous suture: each parietal bone meets a temporal bone inferiorly

Sagittal suture: right and left parietal bones meet superiorly

Lambdoid suture: parietal bones meet the occipital bone posteriorly
Jugular formanen
A foramen is a type of opening
 At junction of occipital and parietal bones

TEMPORAL BONES
Lower sides and base of cranium
 Encloses ear and connects with mandible
 Irregular shape
 4 parts: external acoustic meatus,styloid process,
zygomatic process, mastoid process (behind ear)


A process is a projection from a structure
FACIAL BONES
Mandible
 Maxilla
 Palatine Bones
 Zygomatic bone
 Nasal bone
 Lacrimal bone
 Sphenoid
 Ethmoid bone

FACIAL BONES

Maxillaetwo maxilla fuse to form upper jaw
 All facial bones except mandible join to maxilla


Palatine Bones


Posterior to palatine processes and form the posterior
part of the hard palate
Mandible
Lower jaw
 Joins temporal bones on each side of the face to form
only movable joints in skull

Nasal bone- joins in a suture to form the bridge
 Vomer


Forms nasal septum

Bones of the upper and lower limbs

Pectoral girdle attaches upper limbs to
axial skeleton

Pelvic girdle attaches lower limbs to axial
skeleton
Functions: upper and lower limbs
differ in function

But share the same structural plan

Lower limbs = locomotion

Upper limbs = more-mobile nonlocomotor

THE PECTORAL GIRDLE


Clavicle and scapula:

Provides attachment for many muscles that move the
upper limb

Very light allows upper limbs to be mobile

Joint: shallow socket of glenoid cavity good for
flexibility but bad for stability
Clavicle
AcromioScapula
clavicular
joint
Pectoral girdles do not completely encircle
the body

Medial end of each clavicle articulates with the
manubrium and first rib

Laterally, ends of the clavicles join the scapulae

Scapulae do not join each other or axial skeleton

Held in place by muscle
(a) Articulated pectoral girdle
CLAVICLES (‘LITTLE KEYS’)
 Aka
collarbones – slender and S-shaped
 Extend
horizontally across the superior thorax
 Flattened
acromial end articulates with the scapula
laterally
 Cone-shaped
medially
sternal end attaches to the manubrium
CLAVICLES

Provide attachment for muscles

Brace: holds the scapulae and arms
laterally from the thorax


Fractured clavicle will cause the entire
shoulder region to collapse
Transmit compression forces from the
upper limbs to the axial skeleton

