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 |
|

|
-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 long bones |
Femur Phalanges Examples of what shape of bone? |
|
Examples of short bones |
Examples of what shape of bone? Tarsals Carpals |
|
Examples of Flat bones |
Examples of what shape of bone? Skull |
|
Example of irregular bone |
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? |
