The Skeletal System
9
Skeletal System Introduction Introduction Functions of the skeleton Functions of the skeleton Framework of bones Framework of bones The skeleton through life The skeleton through life
10
Functions of the Skeleton Support Support Framework for attachment of soft tissues Framework for attachment of soft tissues Protection Protection Delicate structures, especially flat bones Delicate structures, especially flat bones Movement Movement Storage areas Storage areas Minerals Minerals Lipids Lipids Hemopoiesis - blood cell production Hemopoiesis - blood cell production Red marrow Red marrow
11
Anatomy of a Long Bone Diaphysis - shaft Diaphysis - shaft Epiphysis – extremity of bone Epiphysis – extremity of bone Articular cartilage – covers epiphysis Articular cartilage – covers epiphysis Periosteum – covering around surface of bone Periosteum – covering around surface of bone Medullary cavity – marrow cavity in diaphysis Medullary cavity – marrow cavity in diaphysis Endosteum – lines medullary cavity Endosteum – lines medullary cavity
12
Anatomy of a Long Bone
13
The Periosteum
14
The Endosteum
15
Structure of Tissue Pores Pores Living cells Living cells Channels for blood vessels Channels for blood vessels Decrease weight of bone Decrease weight of bone Degree of porosity Degree of porosity Spongy bone Spongy bone Compact bone Compact bone
16
Internal Structure of a Long Bone
17
Compact Bone Haversian system Haversian system Location Location Outer surfaces of all bones Outer surfaces of all bones Most tissue of long bones Most tissue of long bones Function Function Support Support Protection Protection Movement Movement
18
Spongy bone Contains large spaces filled with red marrow Contains large spaces filled with red marrow Location Location Most tissue of short, flat, irregular bones Most tissue of short, flat, irregular bones Epiphyses of long bones Epiphyses of long bones Function Function Storage area for red marrow Storage area for red marrow Hemopoiesis Hemopoiesis
19
Microscopic Structure of Spongy Bone
20
Bone Development and Growth
21
Ossification Embryo skeleton Embryo skeleton Begins as cartilage & membrane Begins as cartilage & membrane 2 types 2 types Intramembranous ossification Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification Endochondral ossification
22
Intramembranous Ossification Mostly in flat bones Mostly in flat bones Connective tissue cells in membranes become osteoblasts Connective tissue cells in membranes become osteoblasts Begin to deposit bone matrix Begin to deposit bone matrix Matrix becomes mineralized Matrix becomes mineralized Formation of spongy bone Formation of spongy bone Original layer of connective tissue remains as periosteum Original layer of connective tissue remains as periosteum
23
Intramembranous Ossification
26
Endochondral Ossification Occurs within a hyaline cartilage model Occurs within a hyaline cartilage model Occurs in most bones of the body Occurs in most bones of the body Periosteum forms at about week 8 Periosteum forms at about week 8 Calcification begins in center of diaphysis Calcification begins in center of diaphysis Primary ossification center Primary ossification center Secondary ossification centers at epiphyses Secondary ossification centers at epiphyses Medullary cavity forms Medullary cavity forms
27
Endochondral Ossification

31
Remaining Cartilage Articular cartilage Articular cartilage Epiphyseal plate Epiphyseal plate Bone grows in length Bone grows in length
32
Epiphyseal Plates and Lines
33
Homeostasis Remodeling Remodeling Different rates in body Different rates in body Balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts Balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts Factors affecting bone growth Factors affecting bone growth Calcium & phosphorus in diet Calcium & phosphorus in diet Osteoporosis Osteoporosis Vitamins A, C, & D Vitamins A, C, & D Hormones Hormones Growth hormone – stimulates bone growth Growth hormone – stimulates bone growth Sex hormones – stimulate osteoblasts Sex hormones – stimulate osteoblasts
