Zero To Finals・2 minutes read
The human skeleton consists of the skull, spine, upper limb, thorax, pelvis, and lower limb, each made up of specific bones that serve various functions in the body. Understanding the different bones and their composition is crucial in comprehending human anatomy and physiology.
Insights
- The human skeleton is divided into several regions, each with distinct bones and structures, such as the skull, spine, upper limb, thorax, pelvis, and lower limb.
- Detailed knowledge of the skeletal system is essential for understanding the human body's structure and function, as each region plays a unique role in supporting movement and protecting vital organs.

Human Skeleton: Bones and Their Names
- The skull consists of cranial bones like the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones, along with facial bones such as the nasal, maxilla, zygomatic, and mandible bones.
- The spine is composed of seven cervical, twelve thoracic, five lumbar vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx, with special names for the first two cervical vertebrae - atlas and axis.
- The upper limb includes the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpal bones, metacarpal bones, and phalanges in the fingers and thumb.
- The thorax features the clavicle, sternum, ribs, and costal cartilages, with floating ribs and specific parts like the manubrium and xiphoid process.
- The pelvis comprises the ileum, ischium, pubis bones, sacrum, pubic symphysis, and acetabulum, while the lower limb includes the femur, tibia, fibula, patellar bone, tarsal bones, metatarsals, and phalanges in the foot.
