Osteoblasts

Bones forming cells

Endochondrial bones

Most of bones of the body- originate as masses of cartilage later replaced by bone tissue

Growth at the Epiphyseal plate

Bone growth takes place at the epiphyseal plate(growth plate)

Growth at the epiphyseal Plate

Bone remolding occurs throughout life as osteoclasts resorb bone & osteoblasts replace the bone

Growth at the epiphyseal Plate

10%-20% of the skeleton is replaced each year

Nutrition

Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium- available in milk and other diary products.

Vitamins A

Necessary for osteoblasts and osteoclasts activities

Vitamin C

Necessary for collagen synthesis

Pituitary

Gland secretes growth hormone

Thyroid

Secretes thyroxine that stimulates replacement of cartilage

Physical stress stimulates bone growth-

When muscle contract and pull against the attachment points, the stress stimulates bone tissue to strengthen

Lack of exercise cause the bone-

To waste away becoming thinner and weaker

Bone function

Bones shape, support and product body structures, aid in body movement, house tissues that produce blood cells and share various inorganic salts.

Support protection and movement

The lower limbs, pelvis and vertebral column support the body’s weight

Support, protection and movement

The bones of the skull protect the eyes, ears, and brain

Support, protection, and movement

Rib cage and shoulder girdle protect the heart and lungs

Blood cells formation

Hermatophosis

Process of blood cell formation- it starts in the yolk sac outside the embryo, then moves to the liver and spleen before they move to the bone marrow

Two types of marrow

Red+ yellow

Red marrow

Red blood cells, white blood cells and blood platelets form- the color of blood comes from hemoglobin

Yellow marrow

Stores fat

Skeletal organization

Number of bones in the body is often reported as 206

Sutures

Immovable joint between the flat bones of the skull

Axial skeleton

Bony and cartilaginous parts that support and protects organs of the head, neck and trunk

Appendicular skeleton

Bones of the upper and lower limbs and the bones that anchor the limbs to the axial skeleton

Skeleton system

Bones that support+ protect softer tissues, provides points of attachment for muscles, house blood- producing cells+ store inorganic salts

Skeleton system

Bones are classified by shape long bones, short bones, flat bones + irregular bones

Bone structure parts of a long bones

1. Epiphysis- expanded portion which articulates(forms a joint) w/ another bone

Proximal epiphysis

End of bone nearest the torso(closer)

Distal epiphysis

End farthest from torso

Peristeum

Touch vascular covering of dense connective tissue, that encloses the bone except for the articular cartilage on its end

Compact bone

Tightly packed tissue composing the wall of the diaphysis or cortical

Spongy bone

Cancellous bone making up the epiphysis- this is covered by thin layers of compact bone

Medullary cavity

Hallow chamber inside the semingid tube in the diaphysis of a long bone

Osteocytes

Bones cells located in bony chambers that transport nutrients

Ostean

Cylinders shaped unit of osteocytes that run longitudinal w/ the bone functioning as weight bearing pillows

Appendicular skeleton

Pectoral girdle- scapula( shoulder blade), clavide(collarbone)

Upper limbs

Humerus, radius, ulnar, carpals, metacarpals and phalanges

Pelvic girdle

Hip bones

Lower Limbs

Femur, patella, Tibia, fibula, tarsals,metatarsals, phalanges

Skull

Usually consists of 22 bones that are firmly interlocked along sutures except the lower jaw

Facial skeleton

8 of these bones make up the cranium and 14 make up the..

Sutures

Immovable joint

Mandible( lower jawbone)

Is moveable bone held to the cranium by ligaments

Facial skeleton

Consists of 13 immovable bones and a moveable lower jawbone.
