Functions of Bones and Skeletal System

Support


Protect


Assist in movement


Mineral Storage and release


Blood Cell Production


Triglyceride Storage

Types of Bones

Long Bones
Short Bones
Flat Bones
Irregular Bones
Sesamoid Bones

Diaphysis

shaft or body

Epiphyses

proximal, distal ends

Metaphyses

Between diaphysis and epiphysis in a growing bone contains epiphyseal growth plate and after puberty it is replaced by the epiphyseal line

Articular Cartilage

thin layer of hyaline cartilage which reduces friction and absorbs shock

Periosteum

surrounds bone, outer fibrous layer, inner osteogenic layer, and attaches to the bone surface by perforating (sharpey fibers) bundles of collagen fibers

Medullary Cavity

hollow cylindrical space witin the diaphysis that contains fatty yettloo]

Osteoporosis

bone resorption (destruction) outpaces bone deposition (formation)




Women smaller + less dense


Men have androgen + testosterone


Wanes gradually + slightly unlike


Women hormones

Bone Remodeling Includes

Bone resorption- removal of minerals + collagen fibers by osteoclasts




Bone deposition- addition of minerals+ collagen fibers by osteoblasts

Increased Bone Thickness via Appositional Growth

1. Ridges in periosteum create groove for periosteal blood vessel


2. Periosteal ridges fuse, forming an endosteum- lined tunnel


3. Osteoblasts in endoststeum build new concentric lamallae inward toward center of tunnel forming near osteon


4. Bone grows outward as osteoblasts in periosteum build new circumferential lamallae osteon formation repeats as new peresteal ridges over blood vessels.

Growth in length of long bone involves

interstitial growth




replacement of cartilage w/ bone by endochoral ossification on the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate

Endochondral Growth

Growth by length through mitosis + by the deposition of extracellular matrix




Growth in thickness due to the addition of more xtracellular matrix to the perphery

Endochondral Ossification

Process from 6 weeks fetus to 15 weeks




cartilage is replaced by bone




6 step process


1. development of cartilage neodel


2. Growth of cartilage model


3. development of primary ossification center


4. development of medullary


5. cavity development of secondary ossification centers


6. formation of articular cartilager equiphyseal plate

Intramembranous Ossification steps

1. Development of ossification center. Osteoblasts secrete organic extracelluar matrix


2. Calification: calcium+ other mineral salts are deposited + extracellular matrix calufies (hardens)


3. formation of trabeculae: extracellular matrix develops into trabewlae that fuse to form from spongy bone.


4. Development of periosteum: mesenchyme at the periphery of the bone develops into the periosteum

Tubercle

Variable sized projection

Trochanter

Very large projection

Tuberosity

Projection w/ rough bumpy surface

Endochondral Ossification

Bone forms within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme

Intramembranous Ossification

Bone forms directly within condensed mesendyme which is arranged in sheetlike layer that resembles membranes

Perforating Fibers (Sharpey's)

thick bundles of collagen that extend from the periosteum into the bone extracellular matrix

Endosteum

thin membrane, lines the medullary cavity contains single layer of bone cells and small amount of connective tissue

Bone Surface Markings

Fissure


Foramen


Fossa


Sulcus


Meatus

Surface Markings

Osseous Landmarks

Fissure

Narrow slit between adjacent parts of bones thru which blood vessels or nerves pass

Meatus

canal-like passageway

Foramen

Round, Oval opening thru a bone

Fossa

Shallow Depression

Sulcus

Furrow along a bone surface that accommodates a blood vessel, nerve, or tendon

Sinus

Cavity within bone filled with air and lined with a mucous membrane

Processes

projections or outgrowths on bone that form joints or attachment points for connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons

Processes that form joints

Condyle


Facet


Head

Processes that form attachment points for connective tissue

Crest


Epicondyle


Line


Spinous Process


Trochanter


Tubercle


TUberosity

Condyle

Heart-shaped indent in the femur


-large round protuberance with smooth articular surface at the end of bone

Facet

Smooth flat slightly concave or convex articular surface such as a vertebra

Head

Usually rounded articular projection supported on the neck (constricted portion) of a bone ex: head of femur

Crest

Prominent ridge or elongated projection Ex Iliac Crest

Ramus

Arm-like bar of bone Ex: lower Jaw

Epicondyle

Typically roughened projection above a condyle Ex: Medial epicondyle of the femur

Extracellular Matrix

15% Water


10% Collagen Fibers


55% Crystallized Mineral Salts

Bone Tissue

Connective Tissue


Extracellular Matrix


Most abundant mineral salt aka Hydroxyapatite Crystals

Hydroxyapitite

Most abundant mineral salt (Ca(OH2) calcium hydroxide

Bone Tissue Cell Types

Osteogenic Cells


Osteoblasts


Osteocytes


Osteoclasts

Osteogenic Cells (Osteoprogenitor)

stem cells develop into osteoblasts found along the inner portion of the periosteum and endosteum and in the canals within bones that contain blood vessels

Osteoblasts

bone building cells, synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build extracellular matrix


-initiate calcification and get trapped by lacunae

Osteocytes

mature bone cells maintain bone tissues daily metabolism such as exchange of nutrients and waste minerals.

Osteoclasts

derives from the fusion of about 50 monocytes


have ruffled border that faces the bone surface


release lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest protein and mineral components

Compact Bone (Corticle/Dense)

Osteon or Haversian System


Cicumferential Lamallae


Perforating Canals- Volkamann's Canals


Bone Formation

Ossification


-initial formation fo bones in an embryo and fetus


-During Growth


-Romodeling of Bones


-Repair of Fractures

Initial Bone Formation in an Embryo or Fetus

Begins during the 6th week of development


-Embryonic skeleton is at first composed of mesenchyme in the general shape of bones


-replace preexisting connective tissue with bone and does not lead to any differences in structure



What are the two ways of Initial Bone Formation in an Embryo or Fetus?

Intramembranous Ossification


Endochondral Ossification

Types of Bone Fractures
