What are the functions of the bones?
1. support
2. movement
3. mineral storage
4. blood-cell formation
5. triglyceride storage
compact bone
dense outer layer of bone
spongy (cancellous) bone
internal network of bone
What are 5 characteristics of long bones?
1. Diaphysis
2. Epiphysis
3. Blood vessels- well vascularized
4. medullary cavity-hollow cavity filled with marrow
5. membranes-periosteum, Sharpey's fibers, endosteum
intramembranous ossification
bones are directly ossified w/o any pre-existing cartilage (ex: skull bones and clavicle are formed directly from mesenchyme)
Endochondral ossification
bones develop from a pre-existing cartilage-most bones develop initially from hyaline cartilage
What is the process of Intramembranous ossification
1. An ossification center appears in the fibrous connective tissue and membrane.
2. Bone matrix (osteoid) is secreted w/in the fibrous membrane
3. Woven bone and periosteum form.
4. Bone collar of compact bone forms and red marrow appears.
What is the process of enchondral ossification?
1 Formation of bone collar around hyaline cartilage model
2. Cavitation of the hyaline cartilage
3. invasion of the cavities by the periosteal bud and spongy bone formation
4. Formation of the medullary cavities and secondary ossification centers
5. Ossification of the epiphysis (hyaline cartilage remains in epiphysial plate and articular cartilages (surfaces).
Epiphysial plates and ossification of them
cartilage cells form stacks--chondroblasts are at the top and divide quickly pushing epiphysis away from diaphysis--lengthens bone


Bones lengthen by growth of epiphyseal plates-cartilage is replaced with bone tissue
Later on: cartilage stops growing and is replaced by bone tissues; diaphysis and epiphysis fuse
growth hormone
produced by pituitary gland, stimulates epiphyseal plates
thyroid hormone
ensures that skeletn retain proper proportions
sex hormones
promote bone growht, later induce closure of epiphyseal plates
Stages of a healing fracture

common in kids whose bones have relatively more organic matrix and are more flexible than those of adults
spiral fracture

type of bone spur,[1] are bony projections that form along joints.[
