bones form the

skeleton


joints form the passive locomotor system controlled by muscles

there are 2 parts:

dense part


spongy part - contains bone marrow

bone contains:

blood vessels


lymphatics


nerves

does bone grow?

yes, it's the subject of disease and can self-repair

bone constantly remodels to:

preserve its mechanical efficiency

unnecessary bone is:

removed


e.g. the walls of an empty alveolus (tooth socket) disappears after tooth extraction

functions:

supporting framework


enables attachment muscle, essential for movement


protects organs


stores calcium and phosphorous


creates blood cells which are formed in the bone marrow

Development: osteoblasts (mesenchymal cells) secrete

osteoid (ground substance & collagen)

Development: bone develops from

embryonic mesenchyme from either intramembranous ossification or chondral ossification

Development: intramembranous ossification

bone develops from CT e.g facial bones, skull cap

Development: chondral ossification

cartilage is replaced by bone. Occurs in the epipyses, which are the ends of long bones. Determination of bone or skeletal age.

epiphyseal plate is also the

growth plate, which is necessary for growth in length

what is found just below the growth plate?

metaphysis

bone markings:

caput-head


fossa-pit


sulcus-groove


incisura-notch

classification of bones:

1. Long bones


2. Flat bones


3. Short bones


4. Irregular bones


5. Pneumatic bone


6. Sesamoid bone


7. Periosteum

1. Long bones

such as the humerus, radius etc.


has yellow or red bone marrow


growth cartilages

2. Flat bones

2 layers of compact bone and spongy material in the middle


grows in 2 directions

3. Short bones

carpal bones


spongy core with compact material

4. Irregular bones

vertebrae

5. Pneumatic bone

air-filled bones with mucus


ethmoid, maxilla (bones of the skull)

6. Sesamoid bone

patella


found in tendons

7. Periosteum

all parts of bone that is not joint surface


contains blood vessels, nerves and lymph


rebuilding of bones start in periosteum by osteoblasts
