SKELETAL SYSTEM

SKELETON, BONES, JOINTS, & CONNECTIVE TISSUES

FUNCTIONS, ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY,SYSTEM CARE, INJURIES & ILLNESSES

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON1.provides framework on which muscles can act.

2.supports and protects vital internal organs.

AXIAL vs. APPENDICULAR

Axial Skeleton:

Appendicular Skeleton:

FUNCTIONS OF THE BONE

1. principal storage center for essential body minerals i.e. calcium and phosphorus

2. manufactures body’s blood cells

BONE STRUCTURE

TYPES OF BONESWhat do they do?

LONG-

SHORT-

IRREGULAR-

FLAT-

TYPES OF BONESWhere are they found?

LONG BONES SHORT BONES

IRREGULAR BONES

FLAT BONES

Found in:Arms-

Legs-

Hands-Feet-

Found in:Wrists-Ankles-Digits-Tail Bone-

Found in:Mouth-Spine-

Found in:Cranium-

Thorax-

Pelvic Girdle-

CARE OF OUR SKELETAL SYSTEM

PROBLEMS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

Result from Poor Nutrition, Infection, Sport/ Recreational Mishap, Accidents, and/or Poor

Posture.

INJURIES

DISLOCATIONSFRACTURES

CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURESFracture: Any Kind of Break in the Bone

OPEN Fracture CLOSED Fracturea.k.a. COMPOUND a.k.a. SIMPLE-> causes a break ->does not break in the skin through the skin

-> can cause deformation in the

area of the break

TYPES OF FRACTURESHAIRLINE:

Always Simple, Break is Incomplete, Two parts of bone do not separate.

TRANSVERSE:Can be Simple or Compound, Break is completely through the bone, Can result from sharp blow or stress

COMMINUTED:Usually Compound; although it can be closedBone breaks into more than two piecesCommonly results from severe force

ILLNESSESDegenerative Disease: A breakdown of health over a period of time, a gradual

progression of illness.

OSTEOPOROSIS SCOLIOSIS *Degenerative in Nature *Lateral curvature of the Spine *Loss of bone mass as a result *Affects adolescents & pre-teens of the aging process. during growth spurts. *A condition in which bone density *Cause is usually unknown (idiopathic) decreases causing bones to *Can be exacerbated by poor posture, become brittle & easily fractured. back alignment issues, wearing *Women affected often hunch forward. bookbag over same shoulder repeatedly *Can be prevented by eating healthy *Good idea to eat diet high in Calcium. diet high in Calcium *Treatment depends on Severity: from *There is no cure. Exercises to back brace to surgery.

JOINTS

Where two or more bones come together.

Functions, Classifications, Types, Injuries & Illnesses

FUNCTIONS OF THE JOINTS

Provides protection to Vital Organs (fixed).

Provides movement to the skeleton (mobile).

Allows functionality to the body (mobile).

CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS

FIXED: Immobile; does not bend or allow movement; two or more bones fused together for organ protection

MOBILE: Movable; bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, nerves & blood vessels are all present

TYPES OF JOINTSHinge Joint

Two directional:Open & Closed

Ball & SocketJoint

Allows widest range of movement:

Backward, Forward,Sideways, Circular

Pivot JointTwo directional:

Left/ Right-or-

Up/ DownCan work together for circular motion

Elipsoidal JointMany bones working together to allow all movement except

pivotal/ upside-down

INJURIES TO THE JOINTS

DISLOCATION: *When bone slips out from its normal position at a joint *Not only affects bones involved, but also can injure cartilage & ligaments *Treatment includes visiting physician immediately or an ER Visit

replacing bones into proper position at the joint (popping it into place)immobilization of bones & muscles surrounding injured joint

SUBLUXATION: *Partial Dislocation *Not only affects bones involved, but also can injure cartilage & ligaments *Treatment includes visiting physician immediately or an ER Visit

replacing bones into proper position at the joint (popping it into place)immobilization of bones & muscles surrounding injured joint

TORN CARTILAGE: *Results from sharp blow or severe twisting of joint *Treatment includes visiting physician or a visit to the ER

arthroscopic surgery is most common way to repair torn cartilage

ILLNESSES TO THE JOINTSARTHRITIS:Inflammation of a joint resulting from wear & tear on the jointsCharacterized by pain, swelling, stiffness, & rednessMost common in older adultsNo Cure; although treatment of symptoms is available.

BUNIONS:Inflammation of a joint caused from ill fitting shoesCharacterized by pain, swelling, stiffness & redness where the big toe meets the ball of the foot; can displace alignment of the toeCan affect people at any age.Surgical procedures can remove bunion and repair toes alignment.

SKELETAL SYSTEM REVIEW1. What is the Importance of Skeletal System?2. What is the Importance of Bones?3. What does the bone do?4. How does the bone grow?5. How does a bone harden/ repair itself?6. What are the parts of the bone?7. What are the types of bone?8. Where does one find each type of bone?9. Three key ways to take care of the skeletal system.10. What body parts are found in a joint?11. If one breaks their bone, what can one determine by looking at the injured area?12. What does the victim of a broken bone need to rely on an x-ray for?13. What are the types of fractures?14. What are the classifications of joints?15. What is each type of joint do?/ Why is each important?16. Who suffers from Osteoporosis? Scoliosis? Arthritis?17. How can one tell the difference between a dislocation and a subluxation?18. The Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular Skeleton are different. How?19. What does a tendon do?20. What does a ligament do?
