PROF. ROBERTO B. AGRAVANTE JR RN. Class Instructor ASSESSMENT OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
At birth the human skeleton is made up of around 300 bones . By adulthood , some bones have fused together to end up with 206 bones . Human bones grow continually from birth till our mid 20's. Our skeleton's bone mass is at its maximum density around the age of 30. The longest bone in the human body is the thigh bone called the femur. elc
What is a Skeleton? Greek Word: “Skeletos” = Dried Up It is the supporting structure (framework) of the human body SKELETAL SYSTEM elc
Functions of Skeletal System Support Protection Movement Storage Blood Cell Production Triglyceride (fat) storage Hormone production Osteocalcin
Gross Anatomy of the Skeletal System elc
How many bones does an average adult has? Head 22 Ears 6 Neck 1 Spine 26 Chest 25 Upper limb +Girdle 64 Lower Limb + Hips 62 Total 206
Bone Classification: accdg to SHAPE Long Flat Irregular Short elc
Divisions of the Skeletal System elc
Axial Skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate In the human skeleton, it consists of 80 bones in total composed of six parts the skull bones the ossicles of the middle ear he hyoid bone the rib cage sternum and, the vertebral column
Appendicular Skeleton
Appendicular Skeleton The appendicular skeleton is the portion of the skeleton of vertebrates consisting of the bones that support the appendages / limbs. composed of 4 regions of bones pectoral girdle (clavicle and scapula) Upper limbs (arm, forearm, hand) pelvis Lower limbs (thigh, leg, foot)
Pectoral Girdle Girdle Something that surrounds or circles around something else Pectoral Girdle Shoulder girdle It supports your shoulder, encourages a full range of motion, and protects your nerves and blood vessels that pass between the trunk of your body and your upper limbs. Your clavicle provides the only direct connection between your pectoral girdle and axial skeleton. elc
elc
Upper Limbs / Upper Extremities Humerus Radius and Ulna Carpal,Metacarpals and Phalanges Function: Movement Composed of three parts: Brachium (Arm) Antebrachium (Forearm) Manus (Hand) elc
elc
Pelvis the entire structure formed by the two hip bones, the sacrum, and, attached inferiorly to the sacrum, the coccyx Function: protects the delicate organs of the abdominopelvic cavity while anchoring the powerful muscles of the hip, thigh, and abdomen elc

Male Pelvis Female Pelvis (Android) (Gynecoid) elc
Difference of Male and Female Pelvis elc

elc
Lower Limbs / Lower Extremities Function: Movement, Weight Bearing, Support Composed of: Thigh Knee Leg Foot Femur Patella Fibula and Tibia Tarsals, Metatarsals and Phalanges elc
In Summary… The appendicular skeleton is the portion of the skeleton of vertebrates consisting of the bones that support the appendages / limbs. composed of: pectoral girdle (clavicle and scapula) Upper limbs (Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Carpal, Metacarpal, Phalanages) Pelvis Lower limbs (Femur, Patella, Tibia and Fibula, Tarsal, Metatarsal and Phalanges) elc
Joints elc
Joints Articulation / Arthrosis is the connection made between bones in the body which link the skeletal system into a functional whole. Function: connect bones within the body bear weight enable mobility Provides stability elc
Joint Classification Function based on the amount of movement allowed at the joint Synarthrosis Amphiarthrosis Diarthrosis Structure Classified according to the type of connective tissue that binds the bones together and if there is a fluid Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial elc
Joint Classification accdg to FUNCTION Synarthrosis syn = together, arthro = joint Immovable joint Amphiarthrosis amphi = on both sides Slightly movable joint Diarthrosis dia = through, apart Movable joint elc
Joint Classification accdg to Structure: FIBROUS JOINT Bones are joined by the collagen fibers of connective tissue. No joint cavity is present. The amount of movement allowed depends on the length of the connective tissue fibers. Most fibrous joints are immovable, a few are slightly movable. elc
Joint Classification accdg to Structure: CARTILAGINOUS JOINT Unite two bones by means of cartilage lacks a joint cavity not highly movable elc
Joint Classification accdg to Structure: SYNOVIAL JOINT are joints in which the articulating bones are separated by a fluid-containing cavity This arrangement permits substantial freedom of movement Most joints of the appendicular skeleton are synovial joints elc
Types of Synovial Joint elc
6 types of Synovial Joints Plane Joint (Gliding) Hinge Joint Pivot Joint Saddle Joint Ellipsoid Joint (Condyloid) Ball-and-socket Joint elc
Plane Joint Gliding Joint Consists of two articular surfaces that glide over each other. Movement: Uniaxial (Gliding) Slipping movement only, no axis around which movement can occur. Examples: Vertebral Articular Surfaces Intercarpal Joints Intertarsal Joints elc
Hinge Joint Consists of a convex cylinder of one bone applied to a corresponding concavity of the other bone Movement: Uniaxial (Flexion and Extension) Occuring around one axis, movement only in one plane. Examples: Elbow and Knee joint Interphalangeal joint elc
Pivot Joint Consists of a cylindrical bony process that rotates within a ring composed partly of bone and ligament Movement: Uniaxial (Rotation) Occuring around one axis, movement only in one plane. Examples: Proximal Radioulnar joints Antlantoaxial joint elc
Saddle Joint Consists of two saddle-shaped articulating surfaces oriented at right angles to each other Movement: Biaxial (Adduction, abduction, flexion and extension) Occuring around 2 axes at right angles to each other. Examples: Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb Intercarpal joints elc
Ellipsoid Joint Condyloid Joint Articular surfaces are ellipsoid instead of spherical; range of motion limited almost to hinge and restricts rotation Movement: Biaxial (Adduction, abduction, flexion and extension) Examples: Metacarpophalageal Joint Wrist Joint elc
Ball-and-Socket Joint Consists of a ball (head) at the end of one bone and a socket in an adjacent bone into which a portion of a ball fits Movement: Multiaxial (Adduction, abduction, flexion and extension) Examples: Shoulder (glenohumeral) Joint Hip (coxal Joint elc
Types of Movement elc
Types of Movement Gliding Angular Rotation Special Movements Gliding occurs when one flat, or nearly flat, bone surface glides or slips over another without appreciable angulation or rotation. Gliding occurs at the intercarpal and intertarsal joints, and between the flat articular processes of the vertebrae elc
Types of Movement Gliding Angular Rotation Special Movements Flexion Dorsiflexion Plantar Flexion Extension Hyperextension Abduction Adduction Circumduction elc
Types of Movement Gliding Angular Rotation Special Movements The turning of a bone around its own long axis. elc
Types of Movement Gliding Angular Rotation Special Movements Supination and Pronation Inversion and Eversion Protraction and Retraction Elevation and Depression Opposition and Reposition Excursion elc

In Sumarry… Articulation / Arthrosis is the connection made between bones in the body which link the skeletal system into a functional whole. Function: connect bones within the body bear weight enable mobility Provides stability elc
Muscles came from the Latin word “ mus” = little mouse Muscles make up about 40-50% of body weight Muscles are distinguished by their ability to transform chemical energy (ATP) into directed mechanical energy. elc

What happens when there is a fracture? elc
elc
Fracture Broken Bone Can be: Closed or Open (Compound) Simple or Comminuted Complete or Incomplete Impacted elc

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps. Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” elc
Calcium Homeostasis elc
Vitamin D Deficiency Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin Vitamin D is commonly known as ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3).Vitamin D2 and D3 are broken down to their active form, calcitriol, in the body. Calcitriol works by increasing absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It is produced by the body in response to skin being exposed to sunlight. It is also occurs naturally in a few foods -- including some fish, fish liver oils, and egg yolks -- and in fortified dairy and grain products. elc
Vitamin D Deficiency: Rickets Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children due to poor bone mineralization, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. elc
