Human Skeleton and Torso (General Biology 2)

The human body is a complex machine, and its framework is provided by the skeletal system. The skeleton, along with the torso, forms the foundation for our structure, movement, and protection of vital organs. This comprehensive guide will delve into the components, functions, and importance of the human skeleton and torso.

SKELETON

- internal framework of the


human body.

- composed of bones and


cartilage, providing support,
protection, and movement.

- Also serves as protection

FIELDS INVOLVE IN
THE STUDY OF
BONES

Forensic Anthropology
vs.
Osteology
FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY

- the application of
osteological knowledge to
legal matters, specifically
criminal investigations.

- used to identify victims,


determine time of death, and
provide information about the
circumstances of death.
OSTEOLOGY
- overall study of bones,
including their structure,
function, development, and
variations across different
species.
SKELETON

- composed of bones

BONES - are the rigid, hard


structures that form the
framework of the human
body.
SKELETON

- composed of
CARTILAGES

CARTILAGE - is a strong,
flexible connective tissue
that plays a crucial role in
supporting and protecting
your joints and bones.
SKELETON
TWO MAJOR PARTS

1. Axial Skeleton: This is the


central core of the body and
includes the bones - skull,
vertebral column (spine), ribs,
and sternum (breastbone)
SKELETON
TWO MAJOR PARTS

2. Appendicular Skeleton:
consists of the bones of the
limbs (arms and legs) and the
girdles that attach them to the
axial skeleton.

Includes: shoulder girdle, pelvic


girdle, arms, and legs.
TORSO
- central part of the human body,
located between the neck and
the pelvis.

- Houses vital organs like the


heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and
intestines. The torso is primarily
supported by the axial skeleton,
especially the vertebral column
and rib cage.

DIFFERENT ORIENTATION OF THE RIB CAGE AND PELVIS
Any change to your rib cage and
pelvis will change your spine
orientation.
A tilted rib cage is A tilted rib cage can indicate underlying postural
issues, muscle imbalances, or even structural
NOT NORMAL problems in the spine.
common causes of a tilted rib cage

• Poor posture:
Slouching or
hunching over can
lead to a tilted rib
cage.
common causes of a tilted rib cage

• Muscle imbalances:
Tight muscles in the
chest and shoulders
can pull the rib cage
out of alignment.
common causes of a tilted rib cage

• Scoliosis: This is a
sideways curvature of
the spine that can also
cause the rib cage to
tilt.

• Other structural
abnormalities: In some
cases, a tilted rib cage
may be due to an
underlying structural
abnormality in the spine
or ribs.

posture and preventing a
