The Fetal Skeleton
35
Fontanels
Anterior or frontal Palpable for the first 1 ½ to 2 years of age
Posterior of occipitalCloses by the end of the first year of age
MastoidCloses by the end of the first year of age
SphenoidCloses by the end of the first year of age
36
Cranial bones
FrontalIt is parted
Temporal It is incompletely ossified
Presence of ossification centersConical protusions on the cranial bones
37
The Vertebral Column
38
7 cervical vertebrae 12 thoracic vertebrae 5 lumbar vertebrae5 sacrum fused vetebrae 3-5 fused coccyx vertebrae
Vertebral column
39
Vertebral column
Intervertebral discs- pads of fibrocartilage between the vertebraeNucleus pulposus- central soft regionAnnulus fibrosus- outer ring. Collagen fibersHerniated disc- protusion of the nucleus

Spinal curvatures
Figure 7.16
41
Four spinal curves- posterior viewPrimary curvatures – present at
birth Thoracic - convex Sacral- convex
Secondary curvatures – develops after birthCervical- concaveLumbar- concave
Spinal curvatures
42
Abnormal Curvatures of the Spine
43
Body- rounded portion. Anterior part Vertebral Foramen-for the spinal cordTransverse processSpinous process-single and posteriorIntervertebral foramina-it is seen when 2
vertebras are put together. Passage of the spinal nerves
Structure of a typical vertebra
44
Transverse foraminas- only present in cervical vertebrae
Atlas or C1No bodyJoin with the head and provides for range of
motion (when you nod yes)
Cervical vertebra
45
Cervical vertebra
Axis or C2Odontoid process or dens-allows rotation of
the head (when you nod no)
46
Thoracic vertebrae
Spinous process-long and downwardRib facet – for articulation with 1 rib
47
Massive bodyShort and thick and more horizontal spinous
processesNo rib facetsNo transverse foramemSuperior and inferior articular processes
Lumbar vertebrae
48
Medial sacral crest-remnant of the spinous processes
Alae- formed by fusion of the transverse processes. It articulates with the hip bones
Sacral foramina- passage for blood vessels and nerves
Sacral canal- continuation of the verterbral canal
Sacrum
49
Sacrum and coccyx
Sacral hiatus-inferior opening of the sacral canal
Sacral promontory- rim on the anterior and superior part of the sacrum
Coccyx Attached to the sacrum by ligaments
50
SternumManubrium-articulates with the clavicleBody Xiphoid process-inferior end. Made of
hyaline cartilage in children and is ossified in adults
Jugular notchSternal angle-between the body and the
manubrium
The bony thorax
51
Tubercle – is inferiorCostal groove –depression along the inferior
sideSternal end-articulates with sternum
The ribs
52
True Ribs 1-7 Attached to the sternum through their own
cartilage
Types of ribs
53
False8-12 8-10 are vertebrochondral ribs
Attaches to the sternum indireclty through the cartilage of the C7
11-12 are floating ribsNo attachment to the sternum
