The skeletal system consists of bone, cartilage, and ligaments. The skeleton has 206 bones. It provides a framework, provides protection to the vital organs, provides locomotion, and it does this for attachment of bones, which is the soft tissue attachments. It provides production. Production takes place in the bones. It produces some red blood cells in some of the bones. And it also provides storage. And storage takes place also in the bones, where we can store calcium, and phosphorus, to be released into the system when needed.Now, we're going to look at the names of some of the bones within the skeleton. We'll start at the top of the body. Here we have the cranium. This is what protects the skull and the brain. We have the jaw. Now, as we move down the skeleton, the bone along here... This one here is called the clavicle. You have two clavicles, one each side. If I turn our skeleton around, you can see, at the back, we have scapula. There are two of this scapula. We're going to see the bones of the spine. These spinal bones are called vertebrae. We turn the skeleton back around again. We can see now we have the rib cage. There are seven pairs of ribs, two cartilaginous ribs, and then three floating ribs. That gives us a total of 12. Here we have the humerus. And if I lift this up here, we have the radius and the ulna. We always remember the radius as being thumb-side. Now, we move to the pelvis. See the pelvis here, and then attached to the pelvis, we have the femur, which is a nice, long bone. At the bottom end of the femur, we then have the tibia, which is the larger bone, and the fibula along the outside. We then have the bones of the feet.
An Overview of the Human Skeletal System
This guide provides an overview of the skeletal system, its functions, and the names of major bones in the human body.
Components and Functions of the Skeletal System
The skeletal system, comprising bones, cartilage, and ligaments, serves several key functions:
- Framework for the body
- Protection for vital organs
- Facilitation of movement
- Production of blood cells
- Storage of minerals like calcium and phosphorus
Major Bones of the Human Body
Identifying the key bones in the human skeleton:
- Cranium: Protects the brain.
- Jaw: Facial bone structure.
- Clavicles: Located on either side of the shoulder.
- Scapulae: Shoulder blades at the back.
- Vertebrae: Spinal bones.
- Rib Cage: Includes seven pairs of ribs, two cartilaginous ribs, and three floating ribs.
- Humerus: Upper arm bone.
- Radius and Ulna: Forearm bones, with the radius being thumb-side.
- Pelvis: Hip bone structure.
- Femur: Long thigh bone.
- Tibia and Fibula: Bones of the lower leg.
- Foot Bones: Bones forming the structure of the feet.
