Lecture 2: Skeleton System and Muscular System

Axial vs. Appendicular Skeleton

• The skeletal system is subdivided into axial (中轴骨) and appendicular (四肢骨) components
• The axial skeleton consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral (脊椎) column
• The appendicular skeleton consists of the pectoral girdle (胸带), upper limb bones, pelvic girdle (骨盆带), and lower limb bones

Classification of Bones by Shape

• Lone bones are tubular (管状的)
• Short bones are cube shaped
• Flat bones usually protect underlying organs
• Irregular bones have unique shapes
• Sesamoid (芝麻样) bones develop in tendons (肌腱) and are shaped like seeds
