7.1: Introduction Human skeleton is initially cartilages and fibrous membranes Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant cartilage By age 25 the skeleton is completely hardened 206 bones make up the adult skeleton (20% of body mass) 80 bones of the axial skeleton 126 bones of the appendicular skeleton
7.1: Introduction Bones are the organs of the skeletal system and are composed of many tissues, including bone tissue, cartilage, dense connective tissue, blood and nervous tissue. Bones functions include: Supporting and protecting softer tissues Providing points of attachment for muscles Housing blood-producing cells Storing inorganic salts

7.3: Bone Development and Growth Parts of the skeletal system begin to develop during the first few weeks of prenatal development Bones form when bone tissue replaces existing connective tissue in one of two ways: As intramembranous bones As endochondral bones
Intramembranous Bones Intramembranous Ossification These bones originate within sheetlike layers of connective tissues They are the broad, flat bones Flat bones of the skull, clavicles, sternum, and some facial bones Osteoblasts are bone forming cells
Endochondral Bones Endochondral Ossification Bones begin as hyaline cartilage Form models for future bones These are most bones of the skeleton

Factors Affecting Bone Development, Growth and Repair Deficiency of Vitamin A – retards bone development Deficiency of Vitamin C – results in fragile bones Deficiency of Vitamin D – rickets, osteomalacia Insufficient Growth Hormone – dwarfism Excessive Growth Hormone – gigantism, acromegaly Insufficient Thyroid Hormone – delays bone growth Sex Hormones – promote bone formation; stimulate ossification of epiphyseal plates Physical Stress – stimulates bone growth
7.1 Clinical Application Fractures
7.4: Bone Function Bones shape, support, and protect body structures
Support, Protection, and Movement Support, Movement & Protection Gives shape to head, etc. Supports body’s weight Protects lungs, etc. Bones and muscles interact when limbs or body parts move
Blood Cell Formation Blood Cell Formation Also known as hematopoiesis Occurs in the red bone marrow
Inorganic Salt Storage Most abundant salt is Calcium Phosphate Other salts include Magnesium ions Sodium ions Potassium ions Carbonate ions Osteoporosis is a condition that results from loss of bone mineral
