Cartilage tissue


Bone tissue

Two tissue types that form skeleton

Functions of the skeletal system

Support and protects body as an internal framework, provides a system of levers which the skeletal muscles work to move the body. Store lipids and many minerals (calcium). Provide a site for hematopoiesis (blood cell formation)

Long Bones (Femur, phalanges)


Short Bones (Cube shaped, spongy bone, tarsals and carpals)


Flat bones (Thin, two layers of compact bone sandwiching a thicker layer of spongy bone)

3 Major Groups of Bones Based on Shape

Axial Skeleton (Bones that lie around the body's center of gravity)


Appendicular Skeleton (Bones of the limbs, or appendages)

Subdivisions of the Skeleton

Cranium


Facial Bones

Skull (2)

Sternum


Rib


Thoracic Vertebrae

Thoracic Cage (3)

Vertebrae


Bones of pelvic girdle

Vertebral column (2)

Know these bones of the upper limb

Clavicle


Scapula


Humerus


Radius


Ulna


Carpals


Metacarpals


Phalanges

Know these bones of the lower trunk

Ilium


Ischium


Pubis


Bones of Pelvic Girdle

Know the bones of the lower limb

Femur


Patella


Tibia


Fibula


Talus


Tarsals


Metatarsal


Phalanges

-Articular cartilages: Cover the bone ends at movable joints


-Costal cartilages: Connect the ribs to the sternum (breastbone)


-Laryngeal cartilages: Largely construct the larynx (voice box)


-Tracheal and bronchial cartilages: Reinforce other passageways of the respiratory system


-Nasal cartilages: Support the external nose


-Intervertebral discs: Separate and cushion the vertebrae


-Elastic Cartilage supporting the external ear

Cartilages of the Skeleton

Projects that are sites of Muscle and Ligament Attachment

Tuberosity


Crest


Trochanter


Line


Tubercle


Epicondyle


Spine


Process

Tuberosity

Large rounded projection; may be roughened

Crest

Narrow ridge of bone, usually prominent projection

Trochanter

Very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process (only on femur)

Line

Narrow ridge of bone; less prominent than a crest projection

Tubercle

Small rounded projection or process

Epicondyle

Raised area on or above a condyle projection

Spine

Sharp, slender, often pointed projection

Process

Any bony prominence

Projections that help form joints

Head


Facet


Condyle


Ramus

Head

Bony expansion carried on a narrow neck

Facet

Smooth, nearly flat articular surface

Condyle

Rounded articular projection

Ramus

Armlike bar of bone

Depressions and Openings for Passage of Blood Vessels and Nerves

Groove


Fissure


Foramen


Notch

Groove

Furrow (depression)

Fissure

Narrow, slitlike opening

Foramen

Round or oval opening through a bone

Notch

Indentation at the edge of a structure

Other Depressions and cavities

Meatus


Sinus


Fossa

Meatus

Canal-like passageway

Sinus

Bone cavity filled with air and lined with mucous membrane

Fossa

Shallow basinlike depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface

Gross Anatomy of the Typical Long Bone

- Diaphysis or shaft: smooth surface of compact bone


- Periosteum: fibrous membrane covering made up of dense irregular connective tissue


- Perforating (Sharpey's fibers): collagen fibers penetrating into bone from periosteum


- Epiphysis: End of the long bone, composed of thin layer of compact bone that encloses spongy bone


- Articular cartilage: Covers epiphysis, glassy hyaline cartilage provides smooth surface to minimize friction at joints


- Epiphyseal lines: Area of hyaline cartilage that is replaced with bone after growth


- Medullary cavity: Central cavity of the shaft store adipose (yellow marrow) or red marrow when an infant

Chemical Composition of Bone

-Hardness comes from the inorganic calcium salts deposited in its ground substance


-Flexibility comes from the organic elements of the matrix, collagen fibers

Heating removes the organic part of the bone, acid dissolves the minerals

Effects of Heat and Hydrochloric Acid on Bones

Examples of what shape of bone?




Tarsals


Carpals

Examples of Flat bones

Examples of what shape of bone?




Skull

Examples of what shape of bone?




Vertebrae

The Periosteum serves as an attachment point for muscles and bones through tendons and ligaments.

What is the function of the periosteum?

compact bone diaphysis looks solid, practically without holes or gaps- spongy bone is metaphysis and the epiphysis on the other hand are composed of thousands of spicules or trabeculae of bone, interconnected

What differences between compact and spongy bone can be seen with the naked eye?
