  1. Skeletal System – Part 6

  2. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • Pelvic Girdle - Formed by two coxal bones, or ossa coxae, commonly called the hip bones. • Bony Pelvis – Hip bones + coccyx + sacrum

  3. Bones of the Pelvic Girdle • Large and heavy bones, and they are attached to the axial skeleton. • The sockets, which receive the thigh bones, are deep and heavily reinforced by ligaments that attach the limbs firmly to the girdle. • Functions of the Girdle: • Bearing weight is the most important function. • Protect the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and part of he large intestine.

  4. Structure of the Hip Bones • Each hip bone is formed by the fusion of three bones: • Ilium • Ischium • Pubis

  5. Ilium • Ilium – Large, flaring bone that forms most of the hip bone. • Connects posteriorly with the sacrum at the sacroiliac joint. • When you put your hands on your hips, they are resting over the winglike portion of the ilia. • Iliac Crest – The upper edge of the winglike portion of the ilium.

  6. Ischium • Ischium – “Sitdown bone”; Forms the the most inferior part of the coxal bone. • Pubis – Most anterior part of a coxal bone.

  7. Acetabulum • Acetabulum – Deep socket that receives the head of the thigh bone. • Formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

  8. Regions of the Bony Pelvis • False Pelvis – Superior to the true pelvis; The area medial to the flaring portions of the ilia. • True Pelvis - Surrounded by bone; Lies inferior to the flaring parts of the ilia and the pelvic brim. • Dimensions of the true pelvis of a woman are very important because they must be large enough to allow the infant’s head to pass during childbirth.

  9. Differences Between a Male and Female Pelvis • The pelvis of a female tends to be: • Inlet is larger and more circular. • As a whole is shallower, and the bones are lighter and thinner. • Ilia flare more laterally. • Sacrum is shorter and less curved. • Ischial spines are shorter and farther apart; thus the outlet is larger. • Pubic arch is more rounded because the angle of the pubic arch is greater.

  10. Bones of the Lower Limbs • The lower limbs carry our total body weight when we are erect. • Hence, it is not surprising that the bones of the lower limbs are much thicker and stronger than the comparable bones of the upper limb. • The 3 segments of the lower limbs: • Thigh • Leg • Foot

  11. Thigh • Femur – Thigh bone. • Only bone in the thigh. • The heaviest, strongest bone in the body. • It slants medially as it runs downward to join with the leg bones. • This brings the knees in line with the body’s center of gravity. • The medial course of the femur is more noticeable in females because of the wider female pelvis.

  12. Structure of the Femur Bone • Its proximal end has a: • Ball-like head • The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone in a deep, secure socket. • A neck • Common site of fractures, especially in old age.

  13. The Distal Femur • Anteriorly on the distal femur is the smooth patellar surface, which forms a joint with the patella (kneecap).

  14. Leg • Two bones form the skeleton of the leg: • Tibia • Fibula • The tibia and fibula are connected along their length by an interosseous membrane.

  15. Tibia and Fibula • Tibia – Shinbone; Larger and more medial. • At the proximal end, the tibia articulates with the distal end of the femur to form the knee joint. • Fibula – Lies alongside the tibia; Thin and sticklike. • Forms joints with the tibia both proximally and distally. • Has no part in forming the knee joint. • The distal end of the fibula forms the outer part of the ankle.

  16. Foot • The foot is composed of the: • Tarsals • Metatarsals • Phalanges • Two important functions of the foot: • Supports our body weight • Serves as a lever that allows us to propel our bodies forward when we walk or run.

  17. Foot: Tarsals • Tarsus – The posterior half of the foot. • Composed of 7 tarsal bones. • Body weight is mostly carried by the two largest tarsals: • Calcaneus - Heelbone • Talus – Tarsal that lies between the tibia and the calcaneus.

  18. Foot: Metatarsals and Phalanges • The sole of the foot: • Composed of 5 metatarsals. • The toes of the foot: • Composed of 14 phalanges. • Like the fingers of the hand, each toe has three phalanges, except the great toe which has two.

  19. Arches of the Foot • The bones in the foot are arranged to form three strong arches: • Two longitudinal (medial and lateral) • One Transverse • Ligaments (bind the foot bones together) and tendons: • Help to hold the bones firmly in the arched position but still allow a certain amount of give or springiness.

  20. Joints • Every bone in the body (except the hyoid bone of the neck) forms a joint with at least one other bone. • Joints (Articulations) – Sites where two or more bones meet.

  21. Functions of Joints • Joints have two functions: • Hold the bones together securely • Give the rigid skeleton mobility • Joints are classified in two ways: • Functionally (focuses on the amount of movement allowed by the joint) • Structurally

  22. Functional Classification of Joints 1. Synarthroses: Immoveable joints;Allows no movement. - Example: Bones in the skull 2. Amphiarthroses– Slightly moveable joints; Allow a small amount of restricted movement. - Example: Vertebrae and the joints between the two bones of the lower leg. 3. Diarthroses - Freely Moveable; Permit movement in one or more directions - Example: Shoulder, neck, and knee

  23. Structural Classification of Joints • Structurally, there are three types of joints: • Fibrous Joints • Cartilagenous Joints • Synovial Joints

  24. Fibrous Joints • Fibrous Joints – The bones are united by fibrous tissue; As a general rule, these are immoveable. • Bones are bound tightly together by CT fibers, allowing essentially no movement. • Example: Sutures of the skull.

  25. Cartilagenous Joints • Cartilagenous Joints – Bone ends are connected by cartilage. • Slightly Moveable Examples: • Pubic symphysis of the pelvis • Intervertebral joints of the spinal column (connected by discs of fibrocartilage) • Immoveable Examples: • The Epiphyseal plates of growing long bones • Joints between the first ribs and the sternum. • Most cartilagenous joints are slightly moveable.

  26. Synovial Joints • Synovial Joints – Joints in which the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid.

  27. All synovial joints have four distinguishing characteristics: 1. Articular cartilage • Covers the ends of the bones forming the joint. 2. Fibrous articular capsule • Joint surfaces are enclosed by a sleeve or capsule of fibrous CT • The capsule is lined with a smooth synovial membrane (the reason these joints are called synovial joints).

  28. All synovial joints have four distinguishing characteristics (continued): 3. Joint cavity • The articular capsule encloses a cavity, called the joint cavity, which contains lubricating synovial fluid. 4. Reinforcing ligaments • The fibrous capsule is usually reinforced with ligaments.

  29. Bursae and Tendon Sheaths • Not strictly part of synovial joints, but they are often found closely associated with them. • Bursae – Flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and containing a thin film of synovial fluid. • Common where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together. • Tendon Sheath – An elongated bursae that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction. • Like a bun around a hot dog.

  30. Types of Synovial Joints: Based on Shape • Plane • Hinge • Pivot • Condyloid • Saddle • Ball-and-socket

  31. Plane Joint • Plane Joint – The articular surfaces are essentially flat, and only short slipping or gliding movements are allowed. • Movements are nonaxial (does not involve rotation around any axis). • Examples: Intercarpal joints of the wrist.

  32. Hinge Joint • Hinge Joint – The cylindrical end of one bone fits into a trough-shaped surface on another bone. • Angular movement is allowed in just one plane, like a mechanical hinge. • Classified as uniaxial (they allow movement around one axis only). • Examples: elbow joint, ankle joint, and the joints between the phalanges of the fingers.

  33. Pivot Joint • Pivot Joint – The rounded end of one bone fits into a sleeve or ring of bone. • Because the rotating bone can turn only around its long axis, pivot joints are also uniaxial joints. • Examples: • Proximal radioulnar joint • Joint between the atlas and the dens of the axis

  34. Condyloid Joint • Condyloid Joint – The egg-shaped articular surface of one bone fits into an oval concavity in another. • Both of these articular surfaces are oval. • Allow the moving joint to travel (1) from side to side and (2) back and forth. • But the bone cannot rotate around its long axis. • Movement occurs around two axes, hence these joints are biaxial.

  35. Saddle Joint • Saddle Joint – Each articular surface has both convex and concave areas, like a saddle. • These biaxial joints allow essentially the same movements as condyloid joints. • Example: Carpometacarpal joints in the thumbs

  36. Ball-and-Socket Joint • Ball-and-Socket Joint - the spherical head of one bone fits into a round socket in another. • These multiaxial joints allow movement in all axes, including rotation and are the most freely moving synovial joints. • Examples: Shoulder and hip

  37. Dislocations • A dislocation happens when a bone is forced out of its normal position in the joint cavity. • Reduction – The process of returning the bone to its proper position. • Should be done only by a physician. • Attempts by an untrained person to “snap the bone back into its socket” are usually more harmful than helpful.

  38. Sprains • Sprains – The ligaments or tendons reinforcing a joint are damaged by excessive stretching, or they are torn away from the bone. • Since tendons and ligaments get poor blood supply, sprains heal slowly and are extremely painful.
