Overview of the Skeleton
• Regions of the skeleton
– axial skeleton = central axis
• skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum and sacrum
– appendicular skeleton = limbs and girdles
• Number of bones
– 206 in typical adult skeleton
• varies with development of sesamoid bones (patella)
– start at 270 at birth, decreases with fusion

Major Skull Cavities
8-6
The Skull
• 22 bones joined together by sutures

– 8 bones in contact with meninges
• frontal, parietal,
– calvaria (skullcap) forms roof and walls
• Facial bones support teeth and form
nasal cavity and orbit
– 14 bones with no direct contact with brain
or meninges
– attachment of facial and jaw muscles
8-7
Cranial Fossa
• 3 basins that comprise the cranial floor or base
