The Skeletal System
Overview
General
Describe the major classes of bone by shape.
Explain the structural components of bone.
The skeleton is made up of the axial and appendicular divisions. Describe these divisions.
Describe the connective tissues associated with bones and their role in the skeletal system.
Layers and Parts of Bones
o
Locate each of the following parts of a bone
and describe how its structure relates to its
function:
Compact bone
Spongy bone
o
What part of a long bone would
this be found in?
o
How does the structure of
spongy bone differ from that of
compact bone?
Medullary cavity
Bone marrow
o
There are two kinds of bone marrow, red and yellow. How do they differ?
o
Where is each found?
o
What are the types of bone?
Give an example of a
long bone
.
o
How does this differ from flat bones?
Give an example of a
flat bone
.
Describe the other types of bone and give an example of each:
o
Sesamoid
o
Irregular
o
Short
The Axial Skeleton
Locate and examine the
occipital
bone.
Locate and examine the
temporal
bone
.
Locate the
frontal
bone.
Examine the
sphenoid
bone.
Examine the
ethmoid
bone.
Examine the
maxilla
.
Examine the
mandible
.
Locate the
hyoid
. What attaches to the hyoid?
Axial Skeleton: Vertebrae and Ribs
Label the ribs as
false
,
floating
, or
true
.
What is the function of the vertebrae?
o
Describe the major structures of the
vertebrae.
Body
Vertebral arch
Vertebral foramen
Vertebral canal
Intervertebral foramina
Spinous process
o
What is the function of the spinal ligaments?
o
How many vertebrae do you have?
o
Name the vertebral regions from top to
bottom.
What are the shared features of each group that allow them to be easily
categorized?
o
How are the
atlas
and
axis
different from the rest of the vertebrae?
Explain the interrelation between the
atlas
and
axis
.
What is the function of the
thoracic cage
?
o
What are the parts of the
sternum
?
o
What are the differences among
true ribs, false ribs,
and
floating ribs
?
The Appendicular Skeleton
Appendicular Skeleton: Upper Limbs
Locate and identify the bones of the upper limb.
What are the divisions of the appendicular
skeleton?
Describe similarities between the upper and lower
limbs.
o
What are differences between the upper
and lower limbs?
o
How do these differences aid in the
function of the limbs?
Upper body
o
Name the bones of the
shoulder girdle
.
o
Name the bones of the
arm
and
forearm
.
o
Name the bones of the
hand
.
Examine the
shoulder girdle
.
Examine the
clavicle
.
o
What two bones does it attach to?
o
How does it attach to these bones?
o
Note that the joint between the humerus and the shoulder girdle does not surround the
entire humerus.
Examine the
humerus
.
o
Locate the head.
What is the purpose of this structure?
What bones articulate with the humerus here?
Examine the
forearm
.
o
Note the differences between the
radius
and
ulna
.
o
Examine the
radius
.
Locate the head.
What bone does this articulate with?
o
Examine the
ulna
.
o
How do these bones move during pronation? What about during supination?
How do these movements change the position of the bones relative to each
other?
Examine the wrist and hand.
