SKELETON
The skeletal system includes all the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals.
The skeleton in an adult body is made up of 206 individual bones. These bones are classified into the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the shoulder girdle, upper extremity, pelvis and lower extremity.
The human vertebral column (spine or backbone) usually consists of 33 vertebrae. They are named by region:
Cervical (neck) 7 vertebrae
Thoracic (chest) 12 vertebrae
Lumbar (lower back) 5 vertebrae
Sacrum 5 fused vertebrae
Coccyx (tailbone) 3 (3-5) fused vertebrae
The spine encloses and protects the spinal cord.
Humans have 24 ribs (12 pairs). They are long curved bones surrounding the chest. The first seven pairs of ribs are connected with the sternum (breastbone) by costal cartilages.
The skull is composed of 22 bones that are fused together except for the mandible.
The bones of the superior portion of the skull are known as the cranium and protect the brain from damage. The bones of the inferior and anterior portion of the skull are known as facial bones (face) and support the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Red bone marrow produces red and white blood cells. Red bone marrow is found in the hollow space inside of bones. Children tend to have more the red bone marrow compared to their body size than adults do. The amount of red bone marrow drops off at the end of puberty, replaced by yellow bone marrow.
The skeletal systems primary function is to support and protect the body's organs and attaches the skeletal muscles. The bones of the axial skeleton protect the internal organssuch as the brain and the heartfrom damage caused by external forces. The bones of the appendicular skeleton provide support and flexibility at the joints and attach the muscles that move the limbs. Finally, bones act as the bodys warehouse for calcium, iron, and energy in the form of fat.
