OSTEOLOGY

STUDY OF BONE

SKELETAL SYSTEM

BONES,CARTILAGE,LIGAMENTS

CARTILAGE

FORERUNNER OF MOST BONES

LIGAMENTS

HOLD BONES TOGETHER AT JOINTS

TENDONS

ATTACH MUSCLE TO BONE

MINERALIZATION/CALCIFICATION

HARDENING OF BONE

BONE (OSSEOUS TISSUE)

connective tissue with the matrix
hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals

(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) Support

hold the body up, supports muscles, mandible


and maxilla support teeth



(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) PROTECTION

brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs

(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) MOVEMENT

limb movements, breathing, action of muscle
on bone

(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) electrolyte balance

calcium and phosphate ions

(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) acid-base balance

buffers blood against excessive pH
changes

(FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON) blood formation

red bone marrow is the chief producer
of blood cells

SHAPES OF BONES

LONG- FEMUR


SHORT- TALUS


FLAT- STERNUM


IRREGULAR- SPHENOID

BONE MARKINGS

Bulges, depressions, and holes


1) Sites of attachment for muscles,
ligaments, and tendons


2) Joint surfaces
3) Conduits for blood vessels and nerves

BONE MARKINGS: PROJECTIONS


(site of muscle and ligament attachments)

Tuberosity—rounded projection
– Crest—narrow, prominent ridge
– Trochanter—large, blunt, irregular surface
– Line—narrow ridge of bone
– Tubercle—small rounded projection
– Epicondyle—raised area above a condyle
– Spine—sharp, slender projection
– Process—any bony prominence

BONE MARKINGS: FACET

SMOOTH, NEARLY FLAT SURFACE

BONE MARKINGS: HEAD

BONY EXPANSION, CARRIED BY NARROW NECK

BONE MARKINGS: CONDYLE

ROUNDED ARTICULAR PROJECTION

BONE MARKINGS: RAMUS

ARM LIKE BAR

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


meatus


canal like passageway

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


sinus


cavity within a bone

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


fossa

shallow, basin like depression

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


groove

furrow

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


fissure

narrow, slit like opening

BONE MARKINGS: DEPRESSIONS & OPENINGS


foramen

round or oval opening through a bone

FLAT BONE

Both spongy and compact



DIPLOE

Spongy layer in cranium

FOUR TYPES OF BONE CELLS

Osteogenic cells (stem cells), osteoblasts (matrix), osteoclasts (mature bone cells), osteocytes (bone resorbing cell)

OSTEOPOROSIS

Most common bone disease


Bones lose mass


FRACTURE TREATMENTS

Closed- no surgery


Open- plates, screws, pins


Cast


Traction- bed confinement


Orthopedics- deals with prevention/correction of bones/joints etc.

HEALING OF A FRACTURE

A hematoma forms.


Fibrocartilaginous callus forms.
Bony callus forms.


Bone remodeling occurs.

FRACTURE TYPES

Stress fracture- break by trauma to bone


Pathological fracture- disease caused break


FRACTURE CHARACTERISTICS

Direction of?


multiple pieces?


break in the skin?

Hypercalcimia

an excess of blood calcium
leads to depression of nervous system
muscle weakness
emotional upset
cardiac arrest

Hypocalcimia

Deficiency of blood calcium
leads to tetany and spasms of
muscle
carpopedal spasm
Laryngospasm
death


Bone marrow

soft tissue that occupies the marrow cavity of
a long bone and small spaces amid the
trabeculae of spongy bone

red marrow (myeloid tissue)


-in nearly every bone in a child
- hemopoietic tissue - produces
blood cells
– in adults, found in skull, vertebrae,
ribs, sternum, part of pelvic girdle,
and proximal heads of humerus
and femur

yellow marrow found in adults


-most red marrow turns into fatty
yellow marrow
– no longer produces blood


ossification or osteogenesis

formation of bone

in the human fetus and infant, bone
develops by two methods

-intramembranous ossification
– endochondral ossification

Endo & Chondral
Endo=within
Chondral=cartilage
