Introduction
This book is particularly useful when used with the A to Z of Peripheral Nerves and The A to Z of Skeletal Muscles, parts of the material is also covered in the A to Z of the Head & Neck bones & muscles but all the A to Zs are cross-referenced and together are forming a set covering the all structural elements of the human body. Now as an adjunct to this book the first in the series of the new The A to Z offailure books is the The A to Z of Bone and Joint Failure, which builds upon the knowledge of the material in this book. Eventually there will be a companion book to each of the current and future A to Zs - the sick and the well. So... If there is a structure / subject you want to see in the A to Zs let us know, as the feedback often determines the order of the new books. The A to Zs may be viewed on 2 sites www.amandasatoz.com and http://www.aspenpharma.com.au/atlas/student.htm

How to use this book

The first section consists of the basic anatomical concepts, movement planes, classification and definitions of all terms discussed in this book. Additional images of articulated bones are included to help with regionalization, and colour tags added to the base of each page to remind the reader where the bone or joint is located. Bones, Joints and Ligaments are then listed alphabetically and cross referenced with their common names (e.g. the SHOULDER
A. L. Neill 3
JOINT is the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT and the COLLAR BONE is the CLAVICLE). Each bone and joint is shown from at least 2 aspects. Throughout the book, bones or groups of bones are also shown in situ, or as an overview to relate them to the whole body structure, in other words as they lay in body or cavity anatomically. For example the RIBS together form the RIB CAGE and anatomically this bony structure is the way the ribs function. There is a separate section at the back to discuss the BACK! And even the back cover has been modified so that there is an additional fold over which serves as a means of identifying the book on the shelf (i.e. the fold over has the title down the spine). Books can now be placed on the shelf and still identified. The fold over is also a fold in if not used as a book mark it can be folded in on itself and lays flat on the cover.
Thank you A. L. Neill

Structure of Bone Tissue

Bone is a tissue. It contains osteocytes (mature bone cells -1), osteoblasts (new bone cells -2), osteoclasts (resident monocytes) which may combine to form GIANT cells (3) to remodel bone which occurs constantly. The tissue may be packaged as COMPACT bone = dense bone for major weight-bearing areas as in the Long bones or as CANCELLOUS bone = spongy bone = trabechular bone, which is present in the axial skeleton and at the heads of most Long bones. The density of bone is changing all the time. It is one of the most dynamic tissues in the body constantly forming and reforming its structure. Its repair capacity is extensive, but changes in body demands, diet and disease states will affect its integrity. Loss of bone = Osteoporosis Excess deposition of bone = Osteopetrosis Deposition of bone in ectopic sites = Ossification
COMPACT BONE - A
It is surrounded by an outer fascial layer Periosteum (4) and an inner fascial layer Endostium (5) and has a central cavity filled with Bone Marrow (BM) either filled with fat cells YELLOW BM or haemopoietic tissue (cells related to forming the blood and its component cells) RED BM. The bone is laid down in circular layers or lamellae (6L) with a central core (6c) for the BS, called HAVERSION systems (7).
CANCELLOUS BONE - B
This consists of long trabeculae or spicules of bone laid along pressure lines surrounded by haemopoietic tissue RED BM (8). It is highly mobile; the first to be mobilized for mineral needs or changing body function, and gives support to the compact bone.

Classification of Bones
Flat bones Thin flattened and usually curved bones: most Skull bones, Scapula, Manubrium generally surrounded by a layer of compact bone with cancellous or spongy bone in b/n.
Irregular bones Various shapes not easily classified Sphenoid, Vertebrae, Hip, Ear Bones irregular growth centres. Long bones These bones are long with a shaft = diaphysis and 2 ends epiphyses. They have growth centres at each end and grow lengthwise over years via their growth plates at the metaphyses, e.g.: most limb bones: Femur, Fibula Humerus, Radius, Tibia, Ulna, & digits Phalanges. See diagram.
Pneumatic bone/Alveolar bones Bones filled with air to lighten their weight Maxilla, Frontal, Mandible, Ethmoid and bones with sinuses.
Sesamoid bones are completely surrounded by soft tissue w/o joints e.g. Hyoid. small bones around the thumb and big toe. Short bones Sutural bones Roughly cubic in shape. Most wrist Carpal and ankle Tarsal bones; many of the bones at the base of the skull. = Wormian bones are small bones which occur w/in the skull sutures. They are sometimes called extra-sutural if the main part f the bone is outside of the suture. They are unnamed, except the Incus - the largest extra-sutural bone.
There are:
There are:
There are between 600 and 620 bones in the body including the various sesamoid and Wormian bones and other areas where there may be separate or ossified joints. 22 paired skull bones including the ear ossicles / not including the teeth. 5 single bones mainly on the base of the skull. 1 mandible. 1 hyoid. variable sutural & extra-sutural bones (generally between 3-5). 56 digit bones or Phalanges plus an additional 3 to 4 small sesamoid bones in the foot over the big toe and the thumb.

Each limb has a single long bone proximally (arm and thigh), a hinge joint and 2 bones distally (the forearm and shin) joined by an interosseous upper membrane ligament. Each pair of limbs is supported by a GIRDLE of supporting bones the PECTORAL GIRDLE and the lower PELVIC GIRDLE.

Paranasal sinuses = Sinuses

Coronal
The paranasal sinuses are generally the sinuses referred to when discussing sinus pain etc - they are the air filled spaces which empty into the nasal cavity. They may swell, become infected and fill with fluid, causing pain and pathology. A number of bones contribute to this space, as indicated.

Teeth overview
There are many different methods used to name teeth, define their positions and dentitions and describe their surfaces. This overview shows the 1o & 2 o dentitions, describes their positions and tooth types using some of the better known methods. Teeth are labeled XY on the Left and Right - X is the quadrant of the teeth and dentition type - adult or child - Y is the tooth type (devised by the Federation Dentaire Internationale)

The Back
The Back generally refers to as the lumbar region of the VC and its muscles. This section also includes: the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the VC and associated bony structures. The primary function of the VC is to house and protect the SC, allow exit and entrance of the SNs and act as an axis for the bodys skeleton. ALL THINGS HANG FROM THE BACK. As the Back is more than just the bony components of the VC, pathology includes muscle spasm as well as bone demineralization and failure OSTEOPOROSIS and a consideration of the consequences of mal-alignment of its individual bony units, the Vertebrae. These consequences include: damage to the SNs, which is also dealt with in the A to Z of Peripheral Nerves and changes which may occur with malalignment or changes in the musculature of the VC examined also in the A to Z of Skeletal Muscles.
The VC has 5 segments at the top of which is the Skull. Vertebrae fuse at the Sacrum which also acts as part of the pelvic girdle
1 The cervical VC consists of the 7 cervical vertebrae. The special vertebrae - the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) & their associated joints craniovertebral & atlanto-axial, are listed in the main section of this book. 2 The thoracic VC consists of the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-12). The costovertebral joints (rib joints) are listed in the main section of the BJL and overviewed in Chest overview. 3 The lumbar VC consists of the 5 lumbar vertebrae (L1-5). The Sacrum, Iliosacral joints & the Pelvic girdle are also listed in the main section. 4 The Sacrum consists of 5 fused vertebrae & acts as a major component of the Pelvic girdle as such it is listed in the main section of this book. 5 The Coccyx consists of 3-5 small vestigial vertebrae which in other animals goes on to form the Tail but has little to no function in the human. Typical VB of each region, their joints & associated ligaments are listed in order in this section of the book. Anatomical movements of the back are listed along with other anatomical movements in the front, but testing and examination of the component parts are in this section.
