Skeletal Cartilages
Found where flexibility is needed
Surrounded by dense, irregular CT called perichondrium which acts like a girdle and has blood vessels
All types of cartilage tissue are found in skeletal cartilage

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
