Skeletal System consists of the following
BONES
JOINTS
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Function of the Skeleton
Strong framework on which the body is constructed
BONE
-most dense connective tissue
-work with muscles for movement
Functions of bones
-framework for the body
-protection of internal organs (brain and spinal cord)
-levers for movement
-store Ca
-produce blood cells.
Bone is also called what
osseous
TYPES OF BONE TISSUE
Compact bone

Spongy bone
COMPACT BONE
hard and dense
make up the main shaft of long bone and outer layer of other bones
cells found in around the haversian canal (contains blood vessels and nerves)
Make up by Haversian systems also called osteon
SPONGY BONE
-also called cancellous bone
-meshwork of small bony plated filled with red marrow

-found at the ends (epiphyses) of the long bones and at the center of other bone
Bone has ___ kinds of marrow
2

Red
Yellow
Red marrow are found...
epiphyses (ends of long bones) and center of other bones
YELLOW MARROW
- found in the central cavities of the long bones

-made of fat
Red marrow produces
red blood cells
Periosteum
Covers the bone except at the joint region
Has blood vessels and lymphatic vessels that nourishes the bony tissue
OSTEOBLASTS
found in the inner layer of the perioseum
-make bone in growth and in repairing injuries

Ossification
--conversion from cartilage to bone
OSTEOBLASTS

Osteocytes
maintain and repair existing bone matrix, but does not create new bone cells
Osteoclasts
Monocytes (a type of white blood cell) responsible for the process of resorption, breakdown of bone tissue
Why is resorption important?
-for bone remodeling and repair during bone growth or injury
-storing nutrients for the body
Vit D
-promotes Ca absorption from the intestines
Epiphyseal Plates
-secondary bone-forming centers
-develop across the ends of bones (epiphyses)
Formation of long bones
Occur at the epiphyseal plates by calcification of nes cartilage
Change in elderly bone
Slowing down of bone tissue renewal therefore more weak and fragile

Due to decrease in the ability of forming protein framework where calcium is deposited, fractures are more common and healing is slow because of slow bone metabolism
