CHAPTER 6
2
Babies have ~ 300 bones Adults have ~ 206 bones Humans and Giraffes have the same # of bones in the neck Longest bone = femur Smallest bone = inner ear
3
1. Support – structural framework 2. Protection of internal organs 3. Blood Cell Production (hematopoiesis) 4. Movement – skeletal muscle attaches to bone 5. Mineral Homeostasis (calcium and phosphorous)
4
2 main divisions of the skeletal system 1. Axial skeleton (head, neck, trunk) – 80 bones 2. Appendicular skeleton (limbs) – 126 bones USE TEXTBOOK TO LABEL SKELETONS IN PACKET
5
1. Long bones (bones of arms and legs) 2. Short bones (bones of wrist and ankle) 3. Flat bones (skull, ribs, shoulder blades) 4. Irregular bones (vertebrae)
7
Diaphysis: central shaft Epiphysis: forms joint with another bone Articular Cartilage (Hyaline) Medullary cavity: Hollow chamber filled with bone marrow Periosteum: Covers outside of bone Endosteum: Lines medullary cavity
8
Bone Tissue types 1. Compact Bone ▪ Solid ▪ Forms the diaphysis of long bones ▪ Contains yellow marrow 2. Spongy Bone (Cancellous bone) ▪ Resembles a network of bony rods separated by spaces ▪ Fills the epiphysis of long bones ▪ Contains red marrow ▪ Reduces the weight of the skeleton
9
Coverings 1. Periosteum ▪ Outer surface of bone ▪ Tendons and ligaments fuse to connect muscles and bones ▪ Isolates bone from other bone ▪ Provides route for vessels and nerves ▪ Participates in growth and repair 2. Endostium ▪ Lines marrow cavity ▪ Active only during growth and repair
10
Cells 1. Osteocytes ▪ mature bone cells ▪ Exchange nutrients and wastes with blood 2. Osteoclasts – (clast = break) ▪ Release enzymes to dissolve bone matrix 3. Osteoblasts (blast = precursor) ▪ Produce new bone
11
Bone Matrix (secreted by osteocytes) 1. Organic Components (33.3%) ▪ Collagen fibers provide resilience against stretching and twisting 2. Inorganic components (66.7%) ▪ Mg, F, Na, Ca, P ▪ Hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide) ▪ Provide hardness and resist compression
12
Other Features 1. Lacunae ▪ Small pockets which house osteocytes 2. Lamellae = “thin plates” ▪ Sheets of calcified matrix 3. Canaliculi = “small channels” ▪ Connect lacunae with blood vessels
13
Features specific to compact bone 1. Osteon (Haversion System) ▪ Basic functional unit of compact bone ▪ Osteocytes arranged in concentric layers 2. Central canal ▪ Houses blood vessels 3. Perforating Channels (Volkmann’s Canals) ▪ Link blood vessels of the central canal with the periosteum and marrow cavity
14
Organization of OSTEON Central (haversion) canals run the length of the bone Adjacent Haversion canals are connected via Volkmann’s canals Around the central canals are concentric lamellae Between the lamellae are spaces called lacunae Lacunae contain osteocytes Lacunae are connected in all directions via canaliculi
15
Features specific to spongy bone 1. trabeculae ▪ Support and protect the cells of red bone marrow, important for blood formation

Ossification = the process of replacing other tissues with bone Skeleton begins as cartilage Calcification = the deposition of calcium salts Occurs during ossification but can also occur in other tissues besides bone Bone Formation occurs in 3 situations 1. Growth during development 2. Remodeling of bones 3. Repair of fractures
22
1. Intramembranous ossification – continues to age 2 ▪ Flat bones of the skull. Lower jaw and collar bones ▪ Bone develops from fibrous connective tissue ▪ Ossification center = where bone growth begins ▪ Growth is outward from the center
23
Intramembranous ossification
24
2. Endochondral ossification – continues to age 25 ▪ “inside” “cartilage” ▪ Most bones of the body grow this way ▪ Bone develops from hyaline cartilage 1.Chondrocytes enlarge, calcify and differentiate into osteoblasts 2.Osteoblasts form spongy bone at the diaphysis (primary ossification center) 3.Growth continues outward in both directions 4.Secondary ossification center at epiphysis
25
Endochondral ossification
26
Growth During puberty: Sex hormones speed up osteoblast activity = rapid growth Epihyseal cartilage completely replaced with bone Epiphyseal line = former location of epiphyseal cartilage; still evident by X-Ray through adulthood Appositional Growth continues (increase in diameter)
27
Ongoing replacement of old bone with new bone Due to the action of osteoclasts (breakdown of bone) and osteoblasts (building of bone)
28
1. Fracture hematoma – blood leaks from broken blood vessels in bone 2. Callus Formation – fibroblasts invade the tissue and produce collagen fibers 3. Bony Callus Formation – osteoblasts begin to build spongy bone 4. Bone remodeling – compact bone replaces spongy bone
31
Calcium = most abundant mineral in the body Stored in skeleton (bone matrix) Necessary for muscle and nerve Tightly regulated
32
When blood calcium is low Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases activity of osteoclasts (bone breakers) decreases activity of osteoblasts (bone builders) stimulates calcitrol, a hormone that promotes absorption of calcium from food Elevates blood Ca2+
33
When blood calcium is high Calcitonin (CT) stimulates osteoblasts (bone builders) inhibits osteoclasts (bone breakers) promotes bone formation decreases blood Ca 2+ Decreases blood Ca 2+
34
Calcium Regulation
35
Minerals, especially calcium and phosphate Vitamin D3 stimulates absorption of calcium Rickets – vitamin D3 deficiency – causes bone to soften Vitamin A stimulates osteoblasts Vitamin C for synthesis of collagen Scurvy – vitamin - C deficiency
37
Process = bony projection or bump Ramus = curved portion of a bone (ram’s horn)
38
Trochanter = large rough projection Tuberosity = small rough projection Tubercle = small rounded projection Crest = prominent ridge Line = low ridge Spine = pointed process
39
Head = epiphysis Neck = connection between epiphysis and diaphysis Condyle = smooth, rounded bump that forms joint with another bone Trochlea = small, grooved pulley shaped process Facet = small flat articular surface
40
Fossa = shallow groove or depression Sulcus = narrow grove
41
Foramen = rounded passageway for blood vessels and nerves Canal or Meatus = passageway through bone Fissure = elongated cleft Sinus = chamber within bone usually filled with air
