IntroductionIntroduction
•Skeletal system provides support and allows us to move
•Bones (also called osseous tissue) that make up skeleton protects soft body parts, produces blood cells, and acts as storage unit for minerals and fat
•There are 206 bones in adult skeleton, along with cartilage, ligaments, and joints

BonesBones
•Are primary components of skeleton
•Although composed of non-living minerals such as calcium and phosphorous, bones are very much alive, constantly building and repairing themselves
•Word ‘bone’ comes from Greek meaning “dried up body”

General Bone ClassificationsGeneral Bone Classifications
•Classified according to their shape–Long bones: longer than they are wide and
can be found in arms and legs–Short bones: fairly equal in width and length
and found mostly in wrists and ankles–Flat bones: thinner and can be either flat or
curved; can be plate-like in nature and would include skull, ribs, and sternum (breast bone)
–Irregular bones: like parts of jigsaw puzzle, odd in shape, and include hip bone and vertebrae

Bone AnatomyBone Anatomy
•Periosteum–Tough and fibrous connective tissue covering
bone–Contains blood vessels which transport blood
and nutrients to nurture bone cells –Also contains lymph vessels and nerves–Acts as anchor point for ligaments and
tendons

Bone Anatomy Bone Anatomy (cont’d)(cont’d)
•Epiphysis and diaphysis –Epiphysis: formed by increase in size of both
ends of long bone–Diaphysis: region running between two
epiphyses; hollow area called medullary cavity acts as storage area for bone marrow
•Bone marrow–Yellow marrow: has high fat content; can
convert to red marrow in an emergency–Red marrow: produces red blood cells

Bone TissueBone Tissue
•Compact bone–Dense, hard tissue that composes shafts of
long bones and forms outer layer of other bone types
–Tightly packed material within tissue makes for dense and strong structure
–Material forms microscopic, cylindrical shaped units called osteons, or Haversian systems

Bone Tissue Bone Tissue (cont’d)(cont’d)
•Each units has mature bone cells (osteocytes) forming concentric circles around blood vessels
•Area around osteocyte is filled with protein fibers, calcium, and other minerals
•Osteons run parallel to each other with blood vessels literally connecting with them to ensure sufficient oxygen and nutrients for bone cell

Bone Tissue Bone Tissue (cont’d)(cont’d)
•Spongy (cancellous) bone–Arranged in bars and plates called trabeculae–Irregular holes between trabeculae make bone
lighter in weight and provide space for red bone marrow, which produces red blood cells
–Holes give bone spongy appearance

Surface Structure of BonesSurface Structure of Bones
•Bone is not perfectly smooth; has variety of projections, bumps, and depressions–Projections act as points of attachment for
muscles, ligaments, or tendons–Grooves and depressions act as pathways for
nerves and blood vessels
•Projecting structures and depressions can work together as joining or articulation points to form joints such as ball and socket joint in hip

Bone Growth and RepairBone Growth and Repair
•Ossification: describes formation of bone in body
•Bones grow longitudinally to develop height and horizontally (wider and thicker) so they can more efficiently support body weight and any other weight we support

•Osteoprogenitor cells: non-specialized cells found in periosteum, endosteum, and central canal of compact bones; can turn into other types of cells as needed
•Osteoblasts: cells that actually form bones; arise from non-specialized osteoprogenitor cells and are cells that secrete a matrix of calcium with other minerals that give bone its typical characteristics

•Osteocytes: considered mature bone cells that started as osteoblasts; osteoblasts surround themselves with matrix to then become mature osteocytes
•Osteoclasts: believed to originate from type of white blood cell called monocyte found in red bone marrow; job is to tear down bone material and help move calcium and phosphate into blood

•Cells from connective tissue turn into osteoblasts and form matrix while other osteoblasts create compact bone over surface of spongy bone; once matrix surrounds osteoblasts they become osteocytes, which is how bones of skull develop

•Majority of bones form through endochondral ossification–Shaped cartilage replaced by bone–Periosteum surrounds diaphysis of cartilage
bone as cartilage itself begins to break down
•Osteoblasts come into region and create spongy bone in area that is then referred to as primary ossification center

•Epiphyseal plate (growth plate)–After we are born, epiphysis on long bones
continues to grow–Plate is thin band of cartilage formed between
primary and secondary ossification centers –Plate exists as long as bones need to
lengthen and widen; controlled by hormones, plate will eventually ossify and stop growth process

Pathology Connection: Osteoporosis Pathology Connection: Osteoporosis
•As we age breakdown of bone becomes greater than formation of new bone (causing bone mass to gradually decrease)
•Bones become lighter and weaker, with holes in spongy bone becoming more prominent; weakened bones more prone to breakage; condition of decreasing bone density called osteoporosis

Pathology Connection: Osteoporosis Pathology Connection: Osteoporosis (cont’d)(cont’d)
•Loss of bone mass can be slowed down by–Increasing calcium (forms matrix of bone),
fluoride, and vitamin D (helps body absorb ingested calcium from digestive tract) in diet, particularly in formative years
–Eliminating smoking and decreasing caffeine consumption (both aid in calcium depletion)
–Engaging in weight-bearing exercise–Taking medications to increase bone mass (such
as alendronate)

CartilageCartilage
•Special form of dense connective tissue that can withstand fair amount of flexing, tension, and pressure
•Flexible part of nose and ears are cartilage
•Also makes flexible connection between bones, as between ribs and sternum, allowing chest flexion during deep breathing

Cartilage Cartilage (cont’d)(cont’d)
•Acts as cushion between bones; articular cartilage located on ends of bones and acts as shock absorber, preventing ends from grinding together when you move
•In this location, small sacs, called bursa, secrete lubricant called synovial fluid
•Joints can still wear out and become inflamed despite all this protection, resulting in arthritis or osteoarthritis

Joints and LigamentsJoints and Ligaments
•When two or more bones join together they form a joint or articulation
•Articulating joints held together, yet still movable; accomplished by special connective tissue called ligaments
• Ligaments: tough, whitish bands that connect from bone to bone and can withstand heavy stress
•Tendons: cord-like structures that attach muscle to bone

•Curvature changes as infant learns to hold its head up, again as it begins to walk, curving in opposite direction
•From about age 2 onward, vertebral column will present with secondary curvature in neck, primary in upper back, secondary in lower back, and primary in mid buttocks and tailbone region

Pathology Connection: Bone Fractures Pathology Connection: Bone Fractures and Healing and Healing
•Fracture is a broken bone •Types of fractures
– Simple (closed): break without puncture to skin– Compound (open): fracture in which bone has been
pushed through skin– Hairline: fine fracture that does not completely break
or displace bone (looks like hair on x-ray)– Spiral: fracture caused by severe twisting of bone– Greenstick: incomplete breaks, more common in
children– Comminuted: when bone has been fragmented or
splintered

•Fracture in which bone is pushed through skin referred to as compound or open; particularly nasty because deep tissue has potential to be exposed to bacteria once bone is set into place, and, hence, chance for infection in addition to break is increased
