  • How many bones are in the axial?

    80
  • How many bones are in the appendicular?

    126
  • What is the total number of bones in adults compared to newborns?
    Adults - 206
    Newborns - 270
  • Enumerate the unpaired cranial bones.
    Frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid
  • Enumerate the sections of the vertebral column. Include the number of bones in each section.
    Cervical vertebrae - 7 bones (C1-C7)
    Thoracic vertebrae - 12 bones (T1-T12)
    Lumbar vertebrae - 5 bones (L1-L5)
    Sacrum - 1 bone
    Coccyx - 1 bone
  • The cranial bones are connected by immovable joints called sutures.
  • The skull consists of 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones, a total of 22 bones.
  • There are four principal sutures: (1) coronal, (2) sagittal, (3) lambdoid, and (4) squamous.
  • Sutures in skull
    A) Zygomatic Bone\
    B) Frontal Bone
    C) Coronal Suture
    D) Sagittal Suture
    E) Parietal Bones
    F) Sutural Bone
    G) Occipital Bone
    H) Lamboid Suture
  • This suture is located at the top of the skull, and it separates the right and left parietal bones. 
    Sagittal Suture
  • It separates the occipital bone from the both the right and left parietal bones. Located at the back of the skull.
    Lambdoid Suture
  • This suture separates the frontal bone from both the left and right parietal bones.
    Coronal Suture
  • S - Scaphoid
    L - Lunate
    T - Triquetrum
    P - Pisiform
    T - Trapezium
    T - Trapezoid
    C - Capitate
    H - Hamate
  • Joints are classified structurally as (1) fibrous, (2) cartilaginous, or (3) synovial, according to the major connective tissue type that binds the bones together and whether a fluid-filled joint capsule is present.
  • Joints can also be classified in functional categories according to their degree of motion as (1) synarthroses, which are nonmovable joints; (2) amphiarthroses, which are slightly movable joints; or (3) diarthroses, which are freely movable joints. In general, fibrous and cartilaginous joints have little or no movement and are synarthroses and amphiarthroses joints; synovial joints have considerable movement and are mostly diarthroses joints
  • Synarthroses - immovable
  • Amphiarthroses - slightly movable
  • Diarthroses - Freely movable
  • Fibrous joint - Tend to be immovable
  • Synovial joint - Tend to be freely movable
  • Cartilaginous joint - Exhibit a range of mobilities.
  • Fibrous
    • Suture
    • Syndemoses - ligaments
    • Gomphoses
  • Cartilaginous
    • Synchondrosis
    • Symphesis
  • Synovial
    • Most of our joints
  • Atlantoaxial joint - Synovial (pivot) joint - Diarthrosis (rotation of head and neck)
  • Costochondral joint - Cartilaginous (synchondroses) joint - Synarthrosis (immovable)
  • Distal tibiofibular joint - Fibrous (Syndemosis) joint - Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable)
  • Radiocarpal - Synovial - Diarthrosis (flexion, extension, etc)
  • Carpometacarpal joint - Synovial (Saddle) joint - Diarthrosis (movable in thumb)
  • Acromioclavicular joint - Synovial (Plane) - Diarthrosis (Slightly gliding motion)
  • Coronal suture - Fibrous (Suture) - Synarthrosis (immovable)
  • Knee joint - Synovial (hinge) joint - Diarthrosis (Freely movable, flexion and extension)
