Classification of Bones
|
By location
Axial Appendicular By Shape; Long Short Flat Irregular |
|
Axial Skeleton
|
The long axis of the body, including skull, vertebral column, and rib cage
Protects, supports, and carries other body parts |
|
Appendicular Skeleton
|
Bones of upper and lower limbs
Girdles that attach limbs to axial skeleton (shoulder and pelvis) Locomotion ans environmental manipulation |
|
Long Bones
|
Contain a shaft plus two expanded ends
Limbs bones except patella, wrist, and ankle |
|
Short Bones
|
Roughly cube shaped
Wrist and ankle bones Patella is special short bone called a Sesamoid bone that forms in a tendon |
|
Flat Bones
|
Thin, flattened and a bit curved
Sternum, scapulae, ribs, skull |
|
Irregular Bones
|
Complicated shapes that don't fit into other categories
Hips and vertebrae |
|
7 Functions of Bones
|
1. Support
2. Protection 3. Movement 4. Mineral and growth factor storage 5. Blood cell formation 6. Triglyceride storage 7. Hormone production (osteocalcin) |
|
Bone Textures: Compact and Spongy
|
Compact bone is smooth and solid external layer
Spongy bone is a honeycomb of flat pieces called trabeculae. Spaces are filled with red or yellow marrow. |
|
Structure of Short, Flat and Irregular Bones
|
All shapes consist of thin plates of spongy bone covered by compact bone.
Covered inside and out with CT membranes called periosteum and endosteum Not cylindrical No shaft or epiphysis No defined marrow cavity. Marrow is between trabeculae Hyaline cartilage is found at articulating joints In flat bones, spongy layer is called diploe |
|
Structure of Long Bones
|
Shaft, bone ends, and membranes
Diaphysis is the shaft of a long bone. Has a thick collar of compact bone around a medullary cavity. In adults the cavity contains yellow marrow Epiphyses are the bone ends which are broader than shaft. Hyaline cartilage covers joint surfaces. Epiphyseal line between shaft and bone ends is remnant of epiphyseal plate. |
|
Membranes of Long Bones
|
Periosteum
Endosteum |
|
Periosteum
|
White, double layered membrane
Covers entire external surface except at joints Fibrous layer on outside is dense irregular CT Osteogenic layer on bone surface consists of stem cells Nerve fibers and blood vessels from periosteum enter marrow though nutrient foramina Provides anchoring sites for tendons and ligaments |
|
Endosteum
|
Covers internal bone surface
Covers trabeculae of spongy bone and lines canals that pass through compact bone Contains osteogenic cells |
|
Hematopoietic Tissue
|
Found in red bone marrow in trabeculae cavities of long bones and diploe of flat bones
In infants, red marrow is in medullary cavity and all spongy bone In adults, little red marrow in spongy bone. Mostly in heads of femur and humerous and flat bones Red marrow in diploe is more active |
|
Bone Markings
|
Projections
Depressions Openings Sites of attachment for ligaments, tendons and muscles Conduits for blood vessels and nerves |
|
Cells of Bone Tissue
|
Osteogenic cells
Osteoblasts Osteocytes Bone Lining Cells Osteoclasts |
|
Osteogenic cells
|
Mitotically active
Found in periosteum and endosteum Are squamous in growing bones |
|
Osteoblasts
|
Bone forming cells that secrete matrix
Actively mitotic Matrix includes collagen and calcium binding proteins Cuboidal when active, flattened when inactive Once completely surrounded by matrix they become osteocytes |
|
Osteocytes
|
Spidery
Mature bone cells in lacunae Monitor and maintain the matrix Act as stress sensors |
|
Bone Lining Cells
|
Flat cells on surfaces where bone remodeling is not taking pllace.
Help maintain matrix |
|
Osteoclasts
|
Giant, multinucleate cells at sites of bone resorption
When active, they rest in a resorption bay with ruffled border |
|
Osteon
|
aka Haversian system
Elongated, cylinder parallel to long axis Weight bearing pillars Groups pf hollow tubes of matrix like tree rings Tubes are lamellae |
|
Central (Haversian) Canal
|
Runs through core of each osteon
|
|
Perforating (Volkmann's) Canals
|
Found at 90 degree angles to long axis of bone
Connects blood and nerve supply of periosteum to those in central canals and medullary cavity |
|
Canaliculi
|
Thin canals connecting lacunae to each other and to central cavity
|
|
Interstitial Lamellae
|
Fill gaps between forming osteons or are remnants of osteons that have been cut through due to remodeling
|
|
Circumferential Lamellae
|
Extend around circumference of diaphysis and resists twisting of the bone
|
|
Organic Components of Bone
|
Contain cells and osteoid (organic part of matrix).
Osteoid consists of ground substance and collagen fibers made by osteoblasts Resilience from sacrifical bonds between collagen molecules |
|
Inorganic Components of Bone
|
Hydroxyapatites are mineral salts stored in bone. Mainly calcium and phosphates in needle-like crystals around collagen
Crystals provide bones exceptional hardness |
|
Ossification or Osteogenesis
|
process of bone formation
|
|
2 types of Ossification
|
Endochondral Ossification
Intramembranous Ossification |
|
Endochondral Ossification
|
Bone developes by replacing existing hyaline cartilage
All bone below base of skull except clavicles form this way Process being at primary ossification center in hyaline cartilage shaft After birth, epiphyses ossify beginning at secondary ossification centers (short bones only have primary centers) |
|
Intramembranous Ossification
|
Forms cranial bones and clavicles
Ossification begins within fibrous CT membrane formed by mesenchymal cells |
|
5 Steps of Endochondral Ossification
|
1. Bone collar forms around diaphysis of cartilage model
2. Cartilage in center of diaphysis calcifies and develops cavities. Chondrocytes die and cartilage matrix deteriorates 3. Periosteal bud invades internal cavities and spongy bone forms 4. Diaphyses elongate and medullary cavity forms 5. Epiphyses ossify after birth |
