1. Skeletal System 300 baby bones 206 adult bones >1/2 are in hands & feet The giraffe has the same number of bones in its neck as a human: seven in total. Longest bone= femur Smallest bone= inner ear (hammer, anvil, stirrup)

2. More Fun Facts Bone is made of the same type of minerals as limestone. The long horned ram can take a head butt at 25 mph. The human skull will fracture at 5mph. The only bone in the human body not connected to another is the hyoid, a V-shaped bone located at the base of the tongue Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body The strongest bone in the body is hollow and it is stronger than concrete - femur

22. Osteon Structural and functional unit of bone Haversion Canal –Allows passage of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerve fibers Lamella –Concentric rings of collagen fibers around haversion canal –Allows bone to withstand force Lacunae –Small cavities occupied by osteocytes that join lamella Canaliculi –Hairlike canals that join lacunae to each other and the central canal –Allow osteocytes to exchange nutrients, wastes, and chemical signals via gap junctions

23. Type of Cells in Bone Osteoblast –Build bone cells –Synthesize and secrete organic components of bone matrix –Initiate calcification –Found in periosteum and endosteum Osteocytes –Mature bone cells –Formed when osteoblasts get trapped in matrix –Do not secrete matrix –Maintain bone tissue Osteoclasts –Bone resorption (digest/break down matrix): part of normal bone growth, development, maintenance and repair –Found in endosteum

24. Bone Matrix Organic components (1/3) –Collagen fibers Provide resilience against stretching and twisting Inorganic components (2/3) –Mg, F, Na –Salts that interact to form hydroxyapatite Calcium phosphate Calcium hydroxide –Provide hardness and resist compression

25. Types of Tissue in Bone Connective –Osseous –Dense fibrous –Adipose –Vascular –Lymphatic Nervous

26. Bone Marrow Red = hematopoietic tissue –Bone cell forming tissue –Everywhere in infant Yellow = fatty tissue –Young to middle age develop in shafts –Does NOT produce blood

27. I love anatomy!!!!!

28. Bone Development Osteogenesis (ossification) – bone tissue formation –Embryo: leads to skeleton Intramembranous ossification –Fibrous membrane replaced with bone Endochondral ossification –Hyaline cartilage replaced with bone –Most bones develop this way –More complicated (hyaline cartilage broken down first) –Children: leads to bone growth –Adults: leads to bone remodeling and repair

29. Intramembranous Ossification Osteoblasts permit calcification Some osteoblasts trapped in ossification center (now considered osteocytes) Growth is outward from ossification center Osteoblasts require oxygen and nutrients, so blood vessels are trapped in bone Fibrous membranes→spongy bone→compact bone Outer fibrous membrane becomes periosteum

30. Endochondrial Ossification Chondrocytes in center of shaft increase in size and calcify Deprived of nutrients and die Vessels grow into perichondrium Inner layer turns to osteoblasts Perichondrium now periosteum Thin layer of bone formed around shaft Bone collar provides support Calcified cartilage breaks down Osteoblasts replace with spongy bone 1° oss. center- bone dev and spreads toward epiphysis

31. Endochondrial Ossification 1° oss. center enlarges Osteoclasts break down spongy bone Medullary cavity now open Osteoblasts move to epiphysis

32. Bone Growth Length –Primary ossification center center of diaphysis Thickness –Secondary ossification center center of epiphysis

33. Hormonal Effects on Bone Growth Growth Hormone (GH) –Produced by pituitary gland –Stimulates protein synthesis and cell growth Thyroxine –Produced by thyroid gland –Stimulates cell metabolism and increases osteoblast activity Sex Hormones at Puberty –Cause osteoblasts to produce bone faster than epiphyseal cartilage can divide Growth spurt Epipyseal plate closure –Estrogens (female) Cause faster closure of plate than androgens –Androgens (male) Parathyroid Hormone –Increases blood calcium level (decreases bone calcium) –Inhibits osteoblast; Stimulates osteoclast Calcitonin –“tones down” blood calcium level (increases bone calcium) –Inhibits osteoclast; stimulates osteoblast

34. Nutrients and Bone Growth Calcium and phosphate salts –Hormone calcitriol and Vit D allow absorption Vitamins A, C, K, B12

35. Types of Fractures Simple - the bone is broken, but the skin is not lacerated Compound - skin is pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of the fracture Greenstick - fracture on one side of the bone, causing a bend on the other side of the bone. Spiral – fracture wraps around bound in spiral manner Comminuted - results in three or more bone fragments. Transverse - fracture is at right angles to the long axis of the bone Compression – occurs in vertebrate Lisfranc - one or all of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus

36. Cervical Fracture

37. Compound Transverse Fracture

38. Lisfrank Fracture/Dislocation

39. (Fracture Hematoma) Bony Fractures

40. Skeletal Disorders Osteomalacia –“soft bones” –Lacking minerals (ie. Calcium, vit D) –Rickets Child form of osteomalacia More detrimental since bones are still growing Signs: bowed legs; deformities of pelvis, ribs and skull Osteomyelitis –“bone marrow inflammation” –Caused by pus-forming bacteria that enter via wound or nearby infection Osteoporosis –Bone degradation occurs faster than bone can be deposited –Decrease in bone mass –Porous bones –Fractures in the vertebrate and femur are common –Most common postmenopause: rapid decline in estrogen (stimulates osteoblasts and inhibits osteoclasts

41. Skeletal Disorders Giantism –Childhood hypersecretion of GH –Excessive growth Osteogenesis Imperfecta –Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, often from little or no apparent cause. There ae 9 different types. Pituitary Dwarfism –Childhood deficiency of GH –Short long bones; max height is 4 ft. Paget’s Neoplasms –Bone remodeling process disturbed –Bones are abnormal, enlarged, not as dense, brittle, and prone to fracture –Affects older adults
