The skeletal system includes bones, joints, cartilage, and ligaments. It is divided into the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. Bones provide structure, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell production, and storage. There are four types of bones: long, short, flat, and irregular. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The appendicular skeleton includes the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and limbs.
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that are divided into the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum) and appendicular skeleton (limbs and their attaching girdles). Bones provide structure, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell formation, and are living tissues that undergo remodeling. The skeletal system includes various bone cell types and bone is composed of inorganic minerals and organic matrix. Common diseases include osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, and Paget's disease.

A long bone has two parts: the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone.
The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which is filled with yellow marrow.
The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone.
The wider section at each end of the bone is called the epiphysis (plural = epiphyses), which is filled with spongy bone.
The medullary cavity has a delicate membranous lining called the endosteum (end- = “inside”; oste- = “bone”), where bone growth, repair, and remodeling occur.The outer surface of the bone is covered with a fibrous membrane called the periosteum (peri- = “around” or “surrounding”). The periosteum contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels that nourish compact bone.Flat bones, like those of the cranium, consist of a layer of diploë (spongy bone), lined on either side by a layer of compact bone .Four types of cells are found within bone tissue: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts .Compact bone is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue ,spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, contains osteocytes housed in lacunae, but they are not arranged in concentric circles. Bones of the axial skeleton protect internal organs that includes skull (22), vertebral column (26), thoracic cage (25), ear bones (6) & Hyoid (1) TOTAL = 80
Bones of the appendicular skeleton facilitate movement with TOTAL 126 (64 in the upper & 62 in the lower) appendicular skeleton.
126+80=206.Skull bones:
The adult skull comprises 22 bones. These bones can be further classified by location:
Cranial bones: The 8 cranial bones form the bulk of your skull. They help to protect your brain.
Facial bones: There are 14 facial bones. They’re found on the front of the skull and make up the face.
Vertebral column:
The vertebral column is made up 33 bones.
Cervical vertebrae: These 7 bones are found in the head and neck.
Thoracic vertebrae: These 12 bones are found in the upper back.
Lumbar vertebrae: These 5 bones are found in the lower back.
The sacrum (5) and coccyx (4) are both made up of several fused vertebrae. Thoracic cage: The thoracic cage is made up of the sternum (breastbone) and 12 pairs of ribs.
These bones form a protective cage around the organs of the upper part, including the heart and lungs & gives attachment to muscles involved in respiration and upper limb movement.
The sternum consists of the manubrium, body of the sternum, and xiphoid process.
Ribs 1-7 are called true ribs because they attached directly to the sternum in front and vertebrae at back
Ribs 8-12 are known as false ribs.
the last two false ribs (11 & 12), have no anterior attachment, are called floating, fluctuating or vertebral ribs.
Ear bones (6):
Bones of the inner ear: Inside the temporal bone are the 3 smallest bones of the body:
Malleus
Incus
Stapes ( the smallest bone in the body) etc..
The document summarizes the division of the skeletal system into the axial and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. It forms the vertical axis of the body. The appendicular skeleton has 126 bones and includes the limbs and their attachments via girdles. The skull is made up of 28 cranial bones including the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones, as well as 14 facial bones such as the maxilla, zygomatic, and mandible.

2. The Skeletal System
• Parts of the skeletal system include:
– Bones (skeleton)
– Joints
– Cartilages
– Ligaments
• Divided into two divisions:
1. Axial skeleton – 80 bones
2. Appendicular skeleton – 126 bones
3. Functions of Bones
• Framework
– Supports muscle, fat and skin
• Protection
– Surrounds vital organs like skull, ribs, pelvis
• Movement
– Muscles attach to bones to provide movement
• Mineral homeostasis
– Stores and maintain minerals (Calcium & phosphorus)
• Production of blood cells
– Red bone marrow – produes Red and white blood cells and platelets
• Storage
– Calcium
– Yellow bone marrow – has adipocytes – stores fat.
4. Classification of Bones
• Long bones
– Typically longer than wide
– Have a shaft with heads at both ends
– Contain mostly compact bone
• Examples: Femur, humerus
• Short bones
– Generally cube-shape
– Contain mostly spongy bone
• Examples: Carpals, tarsals
5. Classification of Bones
• Flat bones
– Thin and flattened, usually curved
– Thin layers of compact bone around a layer
of spongy bone
• Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum
• Irregular bones
– Irregular in shape
– Do not fit into other bone classification
categories
• Example: Vertebrae and hip
6.
7. Gross Anatomy
of a Long Bone
• Diaphysis
– Shaft
– Composed of compact
bone
• Epiphysis
– Ends of the bone
– Composed mostly of
spongy bone
9. The Axial Skeleton
• Forms the longitudinal part of the body
• Divided into three parts
– Skull
– Vertebral column
– Bony thorax
10. Skull (Cranium)
• Consists of 22 bones
• Bones of the skull are grouped into two categories:
– Cranial bones - Eight cranial bones form the cranial cavity
– Frontal bone,
– two parietal bones,
– two temporal bones,
– the occipital bone,
– the sphenoid bone,
– ethmoid bone
– Facial bones - Fourteen facial bones form the face
– Two nasal bones,
– two maxillae,
– two zygomatic bones,
– the mandible,
– two lacrimal bones,
– two palatine bones,
– two inferior nasal conchae and vomer
11. Skull
• The cranial and facial bones protect and support
special sense organs and the brain.
• Besides forming the large cranial cavity, the skull
also forms several smaller cavities
– Nasal cavity
– Orbits (eye sockets)
– Paranasal sinuses
– Small cavities which house organs involved in hearing
and equilibrium
13. Skull
• Immovable joints called sutures fuse most of the skull
bones together.
• The skull provides large areas of attachment for
muscles that move various parts of the head.
• Skull and facial bones provide attachment for muscles
that produce facial expressions.
• The facial bones form the framework of the face and
provide support for the entrances to the digestive and
respiratory systems.
14. Skull (Cranial Bones)
• Frontal Bone
– Forms the forehead
• Parietal Bones
– Form the sides and roof of the cranial cavity
• Temporal Bones
– Form the lateral aspects and floor of the cranium
• Occipital Bone
– Forms the posterior part and most of the base of the cranium
• Sphenoid Bone
– Lies at the middle part of the base of the skull
• Ethmoid Bone
– Located on the midline in the anterior part of the cranial floor medial to
the orbits
– A major superior supporting structure of the nasal cavity
– Contain thin projections called conchae which are lined by mucous
membranes
– Increased surface area in the nasal cavity helps to humidify inhaled air
trapping inhaled particles
16. Skull (Facial Bones)
• Nasal Bones
– Form the bridge of the nose
• Maxillae
– Form the upper jawbone and most of the hard palate
– Separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity
• Zygomatic Bones (Cheek bones)
– form the prominences of the cheeks
• Lacrimal Bones
– Form a part of the medial wall of each orbit
• Palatine Bones
– Form the posterior portion of the hard palate
• Inferior Nasal Conchae
– Form a part of the inferior lateral wall of the nasal cavity
17. Skull (Facial Bones)
• Vomer
– Forms the inferior portion of the nasal septum
• Mandible
– Lower jawbone and the only movable skull bone

articulates with the head of the humerus
44. Skeleton of the Arm - Humerus
• Longest and largest bone of the free part
of the upper limb
• The proximal ball-shaped end articulates
with the glenoid cavity of the scapula
• The distal end articulates at the elbow with
the radius and ulna
45. Bones of the Upper Limb
• The arm is formed by a single bone- Humerus
46. Skeleton of the Forearm - Ulna
