The structure of the Human Skeleton

The skeleton consists of bones and constitutes the framework, which sustains the softer parts of the human organism. The backbone or the spine serves as the support to the body. It consists of thirty-three to thirty-four joints or vertebrae. In a man there are seven cervical vertebrae, twelve dorsal and five lumbar. Besides, there are false vertebrae consisting of five sacral (united to form one bone, the os sacrum), and four or five coccygeal or caudal vertebrae. The sacrum forms the basis of the vertebral column.

There is a foramen, or a hole in every vertebra, between its body (that is, the thickened front part) and processes. These foramina correspond with each other through all the vertebrae forming a long bony pipe, or canal, which contains the spinal marrow or the spinal cord. A substance (fibro-cartilage) forms a kind of partition the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae uniting them and lending a certain degree of flexibility to the vertebral column. The vertebrae and their processes afford attachments for a number of muscles and ligaments and also passages for the blood vessels, and for the nerves that pass out of the spine. Twelve pairs of elastic ribs extend outward and forward from the vertebral column forming the framework of the thorax, which affords protection to the heart, lungs and other internal organs. On the upper part of the back there are two triangular bones, the shoulder blades or scapulae. Each shoulder blade is connected with the clavicle or collarbone, which is jointed at the other end to the breastbone (sternum). The shoulder blades and the clavicles form a kind of arch inclosing the upper part of the breast, the thoracic girdle, to which the upper limbs are attached. The arch of the lower extremities is the pelvic girdle.

The skull, or the cranium, is a bony case that forms the framework of the head and encloses the brain. It consists of eight bones, namely, the frontal and occipital bones, upon the fore and back part; the two temporal and parietal bones, forming the temples and the sides of the skull; the sphenoid bone of the base of the skull; and the ethmoid bone at the top of the root of the nose, through which the olfactory nerves pass.
