Bone Structure and Growth
Structure of Bone Compact bone Haversian canals Osteocytes and lacunae Canaliculi Volkmann’s canals
Spongy (cancellous)bone Light weight and strong Trabeculae Canaliculi Contain red marrow
Features of a Long Bone
Bone Development & Growth Osteogenesis/ossification Osteoblast Osteoclast Osteocyte
Intramembranous ossification Sheet-like connective tissue is replaced with bone Flat bones of skull and some irregular bones
Endochondral ossification Replaces hyaline cartilage with bone Forms most bones in body Growth in bone length is created through a similar process
Endochondral Ossification
Bone Growth Growth only occurs at epiphyseal plate Growth ends in the early 20s Bone growth is controlled by growth and sex hormones Appositional growth continues throughout life
Functions of the Skeleton Support Protection Movement Storage Hematopoiesis
Articulations Any place where two bones meet Synarthroses Amphiarthroses Diarthroses
Synarthroses Immovable joints
Amphiarthroses Slightly movable joints Bones connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Diarthroses Freely movable joints Ends of bone covered in hyaline cartilage Bones separated by a joint cavity Cavity lined with synovial membrane Bursae
Ball and socket joint
Condyloid (condylar) joint
Saddle Joint
Pivot joint
Hinge joint
Gliding (plane) joints
