of muscle and ligament attachment

vessels

All bones possess distinctive landmarks that are

designed for specific functions, e.g. certain

landmarks are used as articulating surfaces to form

a joint (an articulation) with another bone on the

skeleton.

Examples of these include condyles, heads, and

facets.

A complete list of bony landmarks is shown in your

activities packet pg 89 Table 7.1

In your lab activities study sheet, it is suggested that

you create online study cards using “Quizlet”

The axial skeleton Has 80 bones & forms the vertical axis of

the body. It can be divided into three parts: the skull, the

vertebral column, & the bony thorax.

The skull: 8 cranial bones & 14 facial bones

– Bones associated with skull: 6 auditory ossicles & hyoid bone

The vertebral column: 24 vertebrae (singular = vertebra),

The sacrum, & The

coccyx

The thoracic cage:

24 ribs & The sternum

The Skull

Page 9: An Introduction to the Axial Skeletont1lara.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/3/2/1632178/skullnotes.pdfAn Introduction to the Axial Skeleton Terms: Structures of Bones ... The axial skeleton

The skull is composed of two sets of bones:

8 cranial bones:

Forms the walls and floor of the cranial cavity

Most of the bones are flat or slightly curved

14 facial bones:

Have irregular shapes. These bones form the face & the walls of orbital

and nasal cavities and provide bony sockets for the teeth.

Learning the bones of the skull can be challenging, thus you

must examine it’s 3-D. In addition to your drawings, note your

3-D paper skull and the iPad App.

All but one of the bones of the skull are joined by interlocking

joints called sutures. Only the mandible, or lower jawbone, is

attached to the rest of the skull by a freely moveable joint.

Lambdoid suture

Coronal suture

Sagittal suture

Squamous suture

Page 14: An Introduction to the Axial Skeletont1lara.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/3/2/1632178/skullnotes.pdfAn Introduction to the Axial Skeleton Terms: Structures of Bones ... The axial skeleton

For a suture, compare the uniting of two skull

bones with fibrous connective tissue to the

sewing together of two pieces of fabric with a

zigzag stitch. The word suture comes from

sutura, Latin for seam.

imagine the ethmoid as a capital letter “T.” (Make a “T” with

your hands, as you would if signaling a time-out.)

Page 16: An Introduction to the Axial Skeletont1lara.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/3/2/1632178/skullnotes.pdfAn Introduction to the Axial Skeleton Terms: Structures of Bones ... The axial skeleton

The knuckles of the hand that form the cross bar of the “T”

are analogous to the crista galli, which can only be viewed

from inside the cranial cavity.

Crista galli = rooster’s comb

The term ethmoid derives from “sieve-like”

and numerous ethmoid sinuses of the

ethmoid bone. Cribriform may remind

students of a corncrib.

If the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone

is displaced from its medial position narrowing

the nasal cavity (deviated septum), the result

can be chronic sinus problems

Associate the Latin adjective magnum with

the word magnify to indicate that this foramen

is BIG.

The parietal bones get their name because

they form the wall of the cranium, just as a

parietal membrane covers the wall of a body

cavity.

The squamous portion of a bone refers to the

flattened region, just as squamous epithelium

refers to flattened cells.

Sphenoid means “wedge-shaped.” The

sphenoid bone is “wedged” between the

cranial and facial bones. Trace the outline of

the “bat with wings” that the sphenoid

resembles.

Mastoid process: For muscle attachment Contains mastoid

air cells connected to middle ear

the word mastoid (mastos), referring to a breast-like shape

(recall mastectomy, removal of the breast).

Coronoid comes from the word corona, a

crown. Imagine this process as the point in a

king’s crown. The word coronation is related.

The hyoid bone “hides” behind the mandible.

Not really counted as a skull bone, located in

throat.

The hyoid bone is the only bone in the body

that doesn’t articulate with another bone. The

space between the muscular base of the

tongue and the soft tissue above the thyroid

cartilage (hyoid bone).

The vomer is probably the least famous skull

bone. It means plowshare (from its shape).

the zygomatic process is on the zygomatic

bone. Note the color coded diagram, that

demonstrates that this feature also belongs to

the temporal bone.

The maxilla holds the upper teeth, but it also

composes much of the face, including the

floor of the orbit and the roof of the mouth.

Andre the Giant (Andre Rene Roussimoff), world-renowned

professional wrestler and actor, suffered from pituitary

gigantism and acromegaly. Acromegaly develops in those for

whom hypersecretion of growth hormone continues past

epiphyseal closure. After closure, elongation of endochondral

bones is over, but appositional growth of these bones and

intramembranous bones continues. This leads to deformity of

the face, skull, and mandible; a coarsening of facial features;

and thickening of fingers and toes.
