APHY 101 Bones

Bones and articulations

TermDefinition
clavicles cone-shaped sternal end articulates with sternum medially, anchors muscles, act as braces to hold the scapulae and arms out laterally
scapulae on dorsal surface of rib cage; flat and triangular, with 3 borders and 3 angles
how many bones form skeletal framework of each upper limb? 30 - arm-humerus, forearm-radius and ulna, hand- 8/5/14-carpal bones in the wrist, 5 metacarpal bones in the palm, 14 phalanges in the fingers
humerus longest, largest bone of upper limb
ulna medial bone in forearm that forms major portion of elbow joint with humerus
radius lateral bone in forearm
carpus (wrist) eight bones in two rows proximal to distal, lateral to medial: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate
metacarpus (palm) five metacarpal bones I to V from thumb to little finger form the palm
phalanges (fingers) fingers numbers I to V starting at thumb (pollex) - digit I pollex has 2 bones and no middle phalanx; digits II to V have 3 bones: distal, middle, and proximal phalanx
hip bones os coxae with 3 regions each: ilium, ischium, pubis (points anterior)
female pelvis adapted for childbearing: broad, shallow, and greater capacity
femur largest and strongest bone in the body, 1/4 of person's height in length, articulates proximally with acetabulum of hip and distally with tibia and patella
patella sesamoid bone in quadriceps tendon
tibia receives weight of body from femur
fibula not weight bearing
tarsus seven tarsal bones form posterior half of foot, body weight carried primarily by talus and calcaneus, other tarsal bones: cuboid, navicular, and medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bones
metatarsals: five metatarsal bones I to V from hallus to little toe, enlarged head of metatarsal I forms "ball" of the foot
phalanges (toes) 14 bones of toes, digit I hallux has 2 bones and no middle phalanx; digits II to V have 3 bones - distal, middle, and proximal phalanx
axial skeleton has how many bones? 80
axial skeleton has what 3 regions? skull, verterbral column, thoracic cage
skull is formed by what two sets of bones? cranial and facial bones
what are the eight cranial bones? octavia's palate tasted ethan's fried spaghetti - frontal bone, parietal (2), occipital, temporal (2), sphenoid, ethmoid
frontal forms the anterior portion of the cranium, articulates posteriorly with the parietal bones via the coronal suture
parietal 2 large, curved rectangular bones that form most of the superior and lateral aspects of the skull. 4 of the largest sutures are found here
coronal suture parietal meets frontal
sagittal suture parietal bones meeting in the middle
lambdoid suture parietal meets occipital
squamous suture parietal meets temporal
occipital bone forms most of the skull's posterior wall and base
temporal bone paired bones located on the lateral sides and base of the skull, just below the parietal bones and surrounding the ear canals, articulate with occipital, parietal, sphenoid, zygomatic and mandible
sphenoid bone butterfly-shaped bone that spans the width of the middle cranial fossa
ethmoid deepest skull bone; forms superior part of nasal septum, roof of nasal cavities, contributes to medial wall of orbits
mandible lower jaw, largest, strongest bone of face, with temporomandibular joint being the only freely movable joint in skull
maxillae medially fused to form upper jaw and central portion of facial skeleton, articulates with frontal bone
zygomatic bones irregularly shaped cheekbones that form the prominences of the cheeks and the inferolateral margins of the orbits
nasal bones thin medially fused bones that form the bridge of the nose
lacrimal bones contribute to the medial walls of the orbit and contain a deep groove called the lacrimal fossa that houses the lacrimal sac
palatine bones two bone plates that form portions of the hard palate, the posterolateral walls of the nasal cavity, and a small part of the orbits
vomer plow-shaped bone that forms part of the nasal septum
inferior nasal conchae paired, curved bones in the nasal cavity that form part of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity
hyoid not part of the skull, lies inferior to the mandible in the anterior neck; the only bone in the body that does not articulate directly with another bone; is the attachment point for neck muscles that raise and lower the larynx during swallowing and speech
vertebral column has how many bones? 26 irregular bones - 7/12/5 cervical, thoracic, lumbar, then sacrum & coccyx
C1-7 smallest, lightest vertebrae
C3-7 distinguished with an oval body, short bifid spinous processes, and large, triangular vertebral foramina; each transverse process contains a transverse foramen
the atlas C1 = no body and no spinous process, but consists of anterior and posterior arches, and two lateral masses; the superior surfaces of lateral masses articulate with the occipital condyles
the axis C2 = has a body, spine, and vertebral arches as do other cervical vertebrae; but uniquely has the dens or odontoid process. the dens is a pivot for the rotation of the atlas (atlantoaxial joint)
thoracic vertebrae 12 of them all of which articulate with ribs
lumbar vertebrae 5 of them, located in the small of the back and have an enhanced weight-bearing function; short, thick pedicles and laminae, flat hatched-shaped spinous processes, and a triangular-shaped vertebral foramen
sacrum consists of five fused vertebrae which shape the posterior wall of the pelvis; articulates with L5 superiorly and with the auricular surfaces of the hip bones
coccyx made of 4 or 3-5 fused vertebrae that articulate superiorly with the sacrum
sternum (breastbone) dagger-shaped, flat bone that lies in the anterior midline of the thorax
ribs 12 pairs form the flaring sides of the thoracic cage
true or false: all ribs attach posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae true
superior 7 pair "true ribs" aka vertebrosternal ribs attach directly to the sternum via costal cartilages
ribs 8-10 pair ("false" ribs or vertebrocondral ribs) attach indirectly to the sternum via constal cartilage
ribs 11-12 pair (floating, or vertebral ribs) do not attach to sternum
orbit club frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, zygomatic, lacrimal, palatine, maxillary
