THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF BONE
By Saraaz
, AGENDA
To introduce you to osteological
terminology
To consider the functions of the
skeletal system as a whole;
To study the microscopic and
macroscopic structure of bone;
To consider how bones are
classified;
To study the typical structure of a
long bone
SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 20XX
, THE SKELETON
Adult skeleton made up of 206 bones - 8 (cranial), 6
(auditory ossicles), 14 (facial) , 26 (vertebral column),
26 (hyoid, sternum & ribs), 64 (upper limb) & 62
(lower limb)
Bones – vary in shape and size
Each bone links with others to form a sturdy, flexible
framework
Structure of the skeleton designed to:
– give shape to the individual
– support the soft tissues of the body
– protection for vital organs
Specific groups of bones, powered by attached
muscles, provide leverage for making a wide range
of coordinated movements
