Anatomy / Physiology Overview Skeletal System
Skeletal System n Composed of organs called bones that give form to the body and, with the joints, allow body motion. The human adult has 206 bones
Skeletal System n Bones must be rigid and unyielding to fulfill their function, but they must also be able to grow and adapt as the human body grows (bone growth is usually complete by late teens) n Bones are just as much living tissue as muscle and skin, a rich blood supply constantly provides the oxygen and nutrients that bones require, each bone also has an extensive nerve supply
BONE FUNCTION v FRAMEWORK: support the body’s muscle, fat & skin v PROTECTION: surround vital organs to protect them v LEVERS: attach to muscles to help give movement v BLOOD PRODUCTION: makes red & white blood cells & platelets v STORAGE: stores most of calcium
Functions n Framework n Bones are as strong or stronger than reinforced concrete. The skeletal system provides structural support for the entire body. n Protection n Delicate tissues and organs are surrounded by skeletal elements. n n The skull protects the brain The vertebral column protects the spinal cord The ribs and sternum protects the heart and lungs The pelvis protects the digestive and reproductive organs
Functions n Levers n Bones work together with muscles to produce controlled, precise movements. The bones serves as points of attachment for muscle tendons. Bones act as levers that convert muscle action to movement. n Storage n Bones store minerals that can be distributed to other parts of the body upon demand. Calcium and phosphorus are the main minerals that are stored in bones. In addition, lipids are stored as energy reserves in the yellow bone marrow.
Functions n Hemopoiesis/Blood Production n Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Classification of Bones n The bones of the human skeleton have four general shapes Long n Short n Flat n Irregular n n There is also one other category n Sesamoid
Classification of Bones Long Are longer than they are wide. Long bones are bones of the extremities. Short Equal in length & width, cube shaped- wrist, ankle
Flat Thin & broad as scapula, cranial, sternum, ribs Irregular Complex shapes as face & vertebrae
Sesamoid Small bones that are held in place by tendons as patella. Also called floating bones
Structure of Bones n Diaphysis – the long shaft of bone -Contains yellow bone marrow -Made of compact (dense) bone. n Epiphysis – two extremities or ends of bone -Contains the red bone marrow -Made of spongy (lighter) bone. n Epiphyseal line – known as the growth plate -this is the area where the diaphysis and epiphysis meet. In growing bone, it is where cartilage is reinforced and then replaced by bone.
MEDULLARY CAVITY a) Cavity in diaphysis b) Filled with Yellow Marrow YELLOW MARROW a) Inside the medullary cavity b) Mainly fat cells ENDOSTEUM a) Membrane that lines the medullary cavity b) Keeps yellow marrow intact c) Produces some bone growth
RED MARROW a) Found in certain bones such as vertebrae, ribs, sternum, cranium, and proximal ends of humerus and femur b) Produces red blood cells platelets, and some white blood cells c)Bone marrow is important in the manufacture of blood and is involved with the body’s immune systems. § Used in diagnosing blood diseases § Given as transplants to people with defective immune systems n
PERIOSTIUM a) Tough membrane covering on outside of the bone b)Contains blood and lymph cells c)Contains osteoblasts: special cells that form new bone tissue d)Necessary for bone growth, repair, and nutrition ARTICULAR CARTILAGE a)Thin layer covers the epiphysis b)Acts as a shock absorber when two bones meet to form a joint
Skeletal Terminology n Each of the bones in the human skeleton not only has a distinctive shape but also has distinctive external features. Theses landmarks are called bone markings or surface features. Foramen –a tunnel or hole for blood vessels and/or nerves (examples: pelvis, skull). n Fossa – a shallow depression (example: shoulder). n
Skeletal Terminology n Condyle – a smooth, rounded articular process; Knuckle like projection (example: femur, humerus). n Tuberosity – a small, rough projection (example: tibia, pelvis). n Crest- a prominent ridge (example: pelvis). n Sinus – a chamber within a bone, normally filled with air (example: skull).
Skeletal Divisions n The skeletal system consists of 206 separate bones and is divided into 2 DIVISIONS AXIAL- forms main trunk of the body -composed of skull, spinal column, ribs & sternum APPENDICULAR – forms extremities -composed of shoulder, arms, hip & leg bones
The 5 functions of the skeletal system are, support, protection, movement, storage & hemopoesis A. ) true B. ) false
Yellow marrow is used to diagnose blood diseases and is sometimes transplanted A. ) true B. ) false
The long shaft of the bone is the epiphysis A. ) true B. ) false
Where is the "growth plate" located? A. ) proximal end of a bone B. ) distal end of a bone C. ) where diaphysis & ephipysis meet D. ) center of bone
Axial Skeleton n Forms the long axis of the body. n The 80 bones of the axial skeleton can be subdivided into: n n n The 22 bones of the skull plus associated ones (6 auditory bones and the hyoid bone). The 26 bones of the vertebral column. The 24 ribs and the sternum.
Appendicular Skeleton n Forms the limbs and the pectoral and pelvis girdles. n Altogethere are 126 appendicular bones. 32 are associated with each upper limb. n 31 are associated with each lower limb. n

Joints n Joints or articulations exist wherever two bones meet. The function of each joint depends on its anatomy. Each joint reflects a workable compromise between the need for strength and the need for mobility. Ligaments – connect bone to bone. n Bursa – fluid filled sac the reduces friction between soft tissue and bones, also act as shock absorbers. n Meniscus – a cartilage disc between some complex joints for shock absorption, cushioning, and stability. n
Types of Movement n Flexion n Inversion n Extension n Eversion n Abduction n Dorsiflexion n Adduction n Plantar Flexion n Circumduction n Opposition n Rotation (IR /ER) n Protraction n Pronation n Retraction n Supination n Elevation n Depression
Joint Classification n Joints can be classified according to the range of motion they permit. Synathrotic n Amphiarthrotic n Diarthrotic n
Synarthrotic Joints n Immovable joints. n Bones are connected by fibrous tissue or cartilage. n Examples: sutures – found between bones in the skull.
Amphiarthrotic Joints n Slightly movable joints. n Examples: joints between tibia and fibula, joints between vertebrae.
Diarthrotic Joints n Freely moveable joints permitting a wide range of motion. n Ends of the bones are covered by cartilage and held together by synovial capsules filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps to lubricate the joint and permits smooth movement. n Examples are hips, shoulder, knee, wrist, ankle
Areas where the cranial bones have joined together are called A. ) fontenels B. ) foramina C. ) sutures D. ) sinuses
Spaces or soft spots in the cranium that allow for enlargement of the skull as brain growth occurs are A. ) fontanels B. ) foramina C. ) sutures D. ) sinuses
Exercise and the Skeletal System n Bone is dynamic and changes with the stress put on it. Bone has the ability to alter its strength in response to stress placed on it. n Bones that are positively stressed will increase their density and become stronger over a period of time. Conversely, bones that are adversely stressed will become weakened over time.
Exercise and the Skeletal System n Exercise enables bone to n Increase its deposition of mineral salts and collagen fibers n Become considerably stronger than bones of sedentary individuals n Maintain its strength and integrity
Diseases of skeletal system n ARTHRITIS: Osteoarthritis/ DJD § Group if diseases involving an inflammation of the joints § Two main types: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis § Osteoarthiritis § Chronic disease that occurs with aging § Symptoms: joint pain, stiffness, aching limited range of motion § Treatment: rest, heat/cold applications, aspirin, antiinflammatory medications, steroid injections, special exercises
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS § Rheumatoid arthritis § Chronic inflammatory disease of connective tissues and joints § Three times more common in women § Often begins between ages of 35 and 45 § Progressive attacks cause scars tissue formation and atrophy of bones and muscle tissue, which results in permanent deformity and immobility § Treatment: n Rest and prescribe exercise n Anti-inflammatory medications: n Surgery, or arthroplasty, to replace damaged joints such as hip or knees
OSTEOMYELITIS Inflammation of bone usually caused by pathogenic organism Pathogens causes formation of abscess within bone and accumulation of pus in medullary canal § Symptoms: pain at site, swelling, chills, fever § Treatment is antibiotics for infection § Can result in amputation
Common Disorders of the Skeletal System n Osteoporosis n A condition that produces a reduction in bone mass great enough to compromise normal function. Because bones are more fragile, they break easily and do not repair well.
Osteoporosis n Causes include n n n Decreased estrogen levels (postmenopausal women at greater risk) Poor Nutrition (Vitamin D and Calcium deficiency) Low activity levels Smoking (decreases estrogen levels) Race (Caucasians are at greater risk) Heredity
Fractures n A fracture is a break in a bone. n Fractures are classified according to their external appearance, the sit of the fracture, and the nature of the break in the bone. Some fractures fall into more than one category.
Types of Fractures q n n n Types of fractures § Greenstick: bone is bent and splits causing a crack or incomplete break; common in children § Simple: complete break with no damage to the skin Compound: break in bones that ruptures through skin; increased chance of infection Comminuted: bone fragment or splinters into more than two pieces § Spiral: severe twisting of the bone causes one or more breaks; coming in skiing and skating accidents Depressed: broken piece of skull bone moves inward: common with severe head injuries
Types of Fractures n Comminuted – n Greenstick – a fracture in which one side of the bone is broken and the other side bends; this usually occurs in children whose bones have yet to fully ossify
Types of Fractures Stress fracture – hairline cracks resulting from repeated stress to a bone, and can lead to other fractures Non-Displaced fracture – the bones remain in normal anatomical alignment Displaced fracture – the bones are no longer in anatomical alignment
Fracture Signs and Symptoms n Any athlete who complains of musculoskeletal pain must be suspected of having a fracture. n Deformity – use the opposite limb to provide a mirror image for comparison. n Tenderness – usually sharply localized at the site of the break. n Guarding – inability or refusal to use the extremity because motion increases pain.
Fracture Signs and Symptoms n Swelling and Ecchymosis – fractures are virtually always associated with swelling and bruising of surrounding soft tissues, however these signs are present following almost any injury and are not specific to fractures. n Exposed fragments – in open fractures, bone ends may protrude through the skin or be seen in the open wound.
Fracture Treatment n If a fracture is suspected, appropriate splinting and referral for an x-ray should be accomplished.
REDUCTION Process by which bone is put back into proper alignment n Closed reduction; position bone in alignment, usually with traction, and apply cast or splint to maintain position n Open reduction; surgical repair of bone, and times, insertion of pins, plates and other devices n n
Dislocations n Disruption of a joint so that the bone ends are no longer in contact or in normal anatomical alignment. Joint surfaces are completely displaced from one another. The bone ends are locked in the displaced position, making any attempted joint motion very difficult and very painful. n Frequently, the ligaments at the joint are torn at the time the joint dislocates. Bones is forcibly displaced from joint/ usually in shoulders, fingers, knees & hips
Dislocation Signs and Symptoms n Marked deformity of the joint n Swelling of the joint n Pain at the joint, aggravated by any attempt at movement. n Marked loss of normal joint motion (a “locked” joint)
Dislocation Treatment n All dislocations should be splinted before the athlete is moved. n Immediate transportation to a medical facility. A physician is required to reduce a dislocation.
