Cartilage of skeleton

Hyaline (most common,embryonic)

Fibrocartilage (strength & shock absorption)

Hyaline Cartilage (most common,embryonic)

Articular - covers most bones at movable joints


Costal- connects ribs to sternum


Respiratory- found in larynx and other respiratory structures


Nasal- support external nose

Elastic cartilage (most flexible)


flexible)

External ear


Epiglottis (guardian of the earway)

Fibrocartilage (strength & shock absorption)

Intervertebral disc's- pads between vertebrae


Menisci- pads located at knees


Public symphysis- located where hip bone join anteriorly

Cartilage

No nerves or blood vessels


•Surrounded by dense irregular connective tissue (perichondrium)

# of Bones in the human body

206 in total

Osseous tissue

Compact bones- dense made up of osteons


Spongy Bone- composed of small trabecule columns.

Bone classification

Long


Short


Flat


Irregular

Long bones

Composed of: compact bone


Description: long shaft with heads on either end


Ex. Femur, Phalanges


Shaft=diaphysis


End of long bone= epiphysis


Perforating fibers= collagen fibers

Short bones

Composed of: more spongy bone than compact boneDescription: cube shapedEx. Tarsals and carpals

Flat bones

Composed of: compact bone with thick layers of spongy bone between themDescription: curvedEx. Bones of cranium

Irregular bones

Description: all other bonesEx. Vertebrae

Sesamoid bones

Description- short bones formed with tendons


Ex. Patellas

Sutural bones

Tiny bones between cranial bones

Bone markings

Where bones form joints with other bones, where muscles, tendons, and ligaments were attached and where nerve and blood vessels passed.

Projections for site of muscle and ligament attachment

Projects that help for joints

Depression and opening for nerve an d blood vessels

Others

Bone formation

Occurs in all bones inferior to the skull except the collar bone


Process called: endochondral ossifaction

Endochondral ossifaction (Step 1)

Blood vessels invade the perichondrium covering the hyalinr cartilage model and convert it to a periosteum

Endochondral ossifaction (Step 2)

OsteoblastS at the inner surface of the periosteum secrete bone matrix around the hyaline cartilage model forming a bone collar

Endochondral ossifaction (Step 3)

Cartilage in the shaft center calcifies and then hollows out forming an internal cavity

Endochondral ossifaction (Step 4)

A periosteal (blood vessels, nerves, redbone marrow, elements osteoblast, osteoclasts) invade the cavity and form spongy bone.


which is removed by osteoclasts producing the medullary cavity. Proceeds in both directions from the primary ossifaction center.

Endochondral ossifaction (Step 5)

As bones grow medulla cavity gets larger and longer


Chondroblasts lay down new cartilage matrix on epiphyseal face of the plate


Which is eroded and replaced by bony spicules on diaphyseal face


Continues until late adolescence until epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone
