Lecture 5
The Skeletal System: Axial & Appendicular Divisions
(based on chapters 6, 7 and 8)
Skeletal System: Introduction
The skeleton is divided into 2 portions:
the axial skeleton and the
appendicular skeleton
o It is a rigid framework of 206 bones ,
muscles and organs are attached by
tendons and
ligaments
o Bones act as levers (with joints acting
as pivots) when muscles contract and
move body
The Axial Skeleton: - composed of bones along the
central axis of the body – 80 bones
Essentially from the head to the tail
Divided into three
regions:
o Skull
(cranium, face)
o Vertebral column
o Thoracic cage
(ribs [directly attach
to the vertebral
column in the back],
sternum; joined
together by
cartilage)
Functions of the axial skeleton:
o Framework that supports and
protects organs in the dorsal and
ventral body cavities o Protects
special sense organs for taste,
smell, hearing, balance, and
vision
o Attachment sites for muscles
that:
o Adjust the posture of the head,
neck, and trunk
o Move the thoracic cage for
respiration
o Stabilize the appendicular
skeleton

The Skull and Associated Bones
Cranial and Facial Subdivisions of the Skull (most bones
fuse during puberty)
The skull consists of
oFace: 14 individual bones
oCranium: 8 individual bones
oAssociated bones: 7 individual bones (auditory
ossicles – 3 per ear and hyoid bone)
Cranial bones – form cranium, encase and protect brain (8
bones)
oFrontal bone – (1) forehead, roof of orbits
oParietal bones – (2) either side of the top of head
oTemporal bones - (2) temples on either side of the head, protect sense organs of ear,
extensive area for attachment of
muscles that close the jaw and
move the head (help attach the
jaw; different muscle help bring
jaw down while others bring it
back up; takes many fewer
muscles to open the jaw, takes
many more and stronger
muscles to bring it down esp. for
chewing)
oOccipital bone – (1) back of head,
foramen (opening) magnum
connects cranial cavity with spinal cavity
oSphenoid bone – (1) butterfly shaped, keystone
of skull (connects facial bone to bones of the
cranium), unites cranial and facial bones and base
of cranium

oEthmoid bone – (1) between obits/walls, floor of cranium, part of nasal cavity and nasal
septum, part of nasal conchae (air bounces through the conchae; gets turbulent, gets
warmed by the body temp.; things in it will
stick to the mucousy sides) involved with
movement of air through sinouses
 3 diff. conchae in
sinus; have superior and
middle spinal conchae
found in the ethmoid
bone; the inferior is a
bone itself
Facial bones – form bone framework of oral cavity and jaw (14 bones)
oNasal bones - (2) base of nose, cartilage forms the flexible portion (bone is just the small
nasal bones at the base
oLacrimal bones – (2) (lacrima
=tear), encloses tear duct and
drains tears into nasal cavity
oVomer - (1) means plowshare
(looks like part of a plow from the
front), inferior part of
nasal septum (sep.the 2 diff.
sinuses; from the side looks like a
long, flat plate)
oMaxilla – (2) the largest of the
facial bones, together form the
upper jaw, articulate with all other
facial bones except mandible, oral
margins form the alveolar
processes that contain the upper
teeth (the ones where our upper
teeth are attached to, part of
upper jaa, articulate with all bones
except the mandible)
oMandible – (1) forms the entire
lower jaw, teeth are supported by
the mandibular body,
articulates with the temporal bone
(tempomandibular joint) for jaw movements
when talking or eating, high mobility but
makes it easy to dislocate the jaw
oZygomatic bones – (2) cheek bones (also
protect eyes, from outside of the ey socket,
and protect ears a little bit)
