The human skeleton anatomy study notes detail the composition, functions, and classification of the skeletal system, a complex framework comprising 206 bones in adults.

The skeletal system consists of bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, working together to provide structure and protection
The functions of skeletal system explained include support, protection of vital organs, movement facilitation, mineral storage, and blood cell production
Bone classification types and examples are divided into axial and appendicular skeletons, with five distinct bone categories: long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones
The skeletal system undergoes significant changes from infancy to adulthood, with bones fusing during development
Bone marrow plays a crucial role in producing millions of red blood cells per second

The Human Skeleton: Components and Functions

This section explores the fundamental components and functions of the human skeletal system. The skeletal framework consists of various interconnected elements that work together to maintain body structure and facilitate movement.

Definition: The skeletal system comprises bones, ligaments (connecting bone to bone), tendons (connecting bone to muscle), and cartilage.

Highlight: While infants are born with over 300 bones, these fuse during development, resulting in 206 bones in adult bodies.

Example: The femur (thigh bone) is the longest bone in the human body, while the stapes (located in the ear) is the smallest.

The five primary functions of the skeletal system are:

Structure and support through leg bones, pelvis, and vertebrae
Protection of vital organs (skull protects brain, ribs and sternum protect heart and lungs)
Movement facilitation through muscle attachment
Storage of calcium and fat
Blood cell production in bone marrow

Vocabulary: Red Blood Cells (RBCs) - Specialized cells produced in bone marrow at a rate of millions per second.

Bone Classification and Types

This section details the classification of bones within the skeletal system, organizing them into major groups and specific types based on their characteristics and functions.

Definition: The skeletal system is divided into two major groups: the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, and rib cage) and the appendicular skeleton (bones of upper and lower limbs).

The five types of bones are:

Example: Long bones - Found in limbs except for the patella and wrist/ankle bones; includes the clavicle Example: Short bones - Cube-shaped bones found in wrists and ankles Example: Flat bones - Thin, slightly curved bones including the scapula, sternum, ribs, and most skull bones Example: Irregular bones - Uniquely shaped bones including vertebrae, hip bones, and jaw bones Example: Sesamoid bones - Specialized bones embedded in tendons, such as the patella

Highlight: The axial skeleton primarily focuses on protection and support, while the appendicular skeleton is crucial for locomotion.
