Introduction
Bones of the forelimb.
BONE
• FUNCTIONS:
– Protection:
• Brain, spinal cord, and internal organs
• Sites of attachment for muscles and
tendons
• Houses hemopoietic tissue
• Storehouse of calcium and
phosphorus
Classification of bone
Based on Location
Axial and Appendicular
Based on Shape
Long, short, flat, Sesamoid, irregular
Based on Ossification
Endochondral and Intramembranous
Based on location
Axial
Formed from ~80 named
bones
Consists of skull,
vertebral column, and
bony thorax
Appendicular
Remaining ~126
bones of
Thoracic girdle
Pelvic girdle
Attached limbs
5 classes based on shape
A. Long
B. Short
C. Flat bones-
D. Irregular bone
E- Sesamoids bone
Classification of Bones
1. Long bones –
longer than wide – a shaft
plus two ends – primarily
compact bone
2. Short bones –
roughly cube-shaped – mostly
spongy bone
Sesamoid bones – special
type of short bone embedded
within a tendon (patella)
Classification of Bones
3. Flat bones
•thin and flattened, usually
curved
•contain two roughly parallel
compact bone surfaces
with a layer of spongy bone
between
• 4. Irregular bones
• various shapes, do not fit
into other categories –
complicated shapes
• consist mainly of spongy
bone enclosed by thin
layers of compact bone
Sesamoid bone -usually small, round, flat, associated
with tendons (patella, proximal/distal sesamoid bones)
Anatomy of a long bone-
1. diaphysis (dy-AF-I-sis)-
2. epiphysis (e-PIF-I-sis)-
4. metaphysis (me-TAF-I-sis)-
The joining point of the diaphysis
and epiphysis in growing bone;
the part of the epiphyseal
cartilage being replace by bone.
5. nutrient foramen-
model
2. Endochondral Ossification-
perichondral
membrane
1. intramembranous ossification of
perichondral membrane I.B.2.
I.B.3
Skull
Vertebral column
Thoracic cage
Remaining bones of
Thoracic girdle
Pelvic girdle
Attached limbs
Appendicular skeleton
Consists of:
Thoracic girdles
Clavicle
Scapula
Attached limbs
Pelvic girdles
Pelvicbones
Attached limbs
Scapula
Is a flat triangular-
shaped bone
Have
3 borders
Cranial, caudal,
Dorsal
3 angles
Cranial, caudal,
Ventral
3 fossae
Supraspinous,
infraspinous,
subscapular
The humerus
Long bone
It is consist of
Proximal end (head)
Neck
Shaft
Distal end
The ulna and Radius
The two bones of the forearm
The proximal Ext. of ulna is medial to the radius
The distal Ext. of ulna is lateral to the radius
Ulna
Proximal end, shaft, distal end (head)

wrist)
The carpal bones (are
Seven in number).

1th , 2nd , 3rd , 4th Carpal
The metacarpal
Five in the number
The Phalanges
There are 14 phalanges
