1 Chapter 7 Skeletal System Bone Classification Long Bones Short Bones Flat Bones Irregular Bones Sesamoid (Round) Bones 2 Functions Support Protection internal organs Movement facilitation Bones act as the levers Articulations as the fulcrums Muscles provide the force Skeletal System 3 Functions Mineral Storage calcium and phosphorous Storage of Blood Cell Producing Cells red bone marrow Storage of Energy lipids stored in yellow bone marrow are important source of chemical energy Skeletal System 4 Bone Function Support, Movement & Protection gives shape to head, etc. supports body s weight protects lungs, etc. bones and muscles interact when limbs or body parts move Blood Cell Formation hematopoiesis red marrow Inorganic Salt Storage calcium phosphate magnesium sodium potassium 5 Cartilage, Osseous and Dense CT Osseous Tissue (4 cell types) Osteoprogenitor Found throughout the bone Have mitotic potential May differentiate into osteoblast Cells and Histology of Bone 6 Osseous Tissue (4 cell types) Osteoblast No mitotic potential Found on the surface of the bone Secrete mineral salts and organic components for bone formation Cells and Histology of Bone 7 Osseous Tissue (4 cell types) Osteocytes No mitotic potential Found within the bone Maintain daily cellular activities of bone tissue Osteoclast Found on the surface of bone Function in the re-absorption of bone Cells and Histology of Bone 8 Epiphysis distal end proximal end Articular Cartilage Covers each epiphysis Hyaline cartilage Diaphysis Shaft Metaphysis Area between diaphysis and epiphysis in mature bone Parts of a Long Bone 9 Periosteum Contains nerves, blood vessels, osteo cells Attachment point for ligaments and tendons Medullary cavity contains yellow marrow Endosteum lines the medullary cavity Parts of a Long Bone 10 Spongy Bone Irregular lattice work of bone-trabeculae Spaces filled with red marrow produces RBCs Parts of a Long Bone 11 Compact Bone Tightly packed tissue Parts Concentric Lamellae Concentric circles of tightly packed tissue Volkmann s Canals Penetrate compact bone Allow blood vessels and nerves into medullary cavity and other Haversian Canals Parts of a Long Bone 12 Compact Bone Haversian Canals Run longitudinally through the compact bone Concentric lamellae surround the canals Lacunae Open spaces between the concentric lamellae that contain osteocytes Look like little lakes Parts of a Long Bone 13 Compact Bone Canaliculi Tiny canals that radiate away from the lacunae Osteon (Haversian System) Central canal, surrounding lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes and canaliculi Parts of a Long Bone 14 Bone Development Intramembranous Ossification bones originate within sheetlike layers of connective tissues broad, flat bones skull bones (except mandible) intramembranous bones Endochondral Ossification bones begin as hyaline cartilage form models for future bones most bones of the skeleton endochondral bones 15 Endochondral Ossification hyaline cartilage model primary ossification center secondary ossification centers epiphyseal plate osteoblasts vs. osteoclasts 16 Hyaline cartilage model bone created by chondroblast Actual ossification of this bone starts 6-7 weeks after conception Endochondral Ossification 17 Interstitial and Oppositional Growth Chondrocytes burst and trigger calcification Capillaries and bone cells invade dying cartilage Bone starts to calcify Endochondral Ossification 18 Primary Ossification Center Blood vessels in mid- region produce ossification center Osteoblast form spongy bone in the area of calcified cartilage, this causes the center to enlarge Spongy bone is destroyed by osteoclast-forms medullary cavity Endochondral Ossification 19 Secondary Ossification Centers When blood vessels enter the epiphysis Spongy bone created here will stay Epiphyseal plate Layer of hyaline cartilage between the 2 areas of growth Stays until you reach maturity Endochondral Ossification 20 Remnants of hyaline cartilage on the epiphysis becomes articulating cartilage Endochondral Ossification 21 Growth at the Epiphyseal Plate First layer of cells closest to the end of epiphysis resting cells anchors epiphyseal plate to epiphysis Second layer of cells many rows of young cells undergoing mitosis 22 Growth at the Epiphyseal Plate Third layer of cells older cells left behind when new cells appear cells enlarging and becoming calcified Fourth layer of cells thin dead cells calcified extracellular matrix 23 Homeostasis of Bone Tissue Bone Re-absorption action of osteoclasts and parathyroid hormone Bone Deposition action of osteoblasts and calcitonin 24 Factors Affecting Bone Development, Growth, and Repair Deficiency of Vitamin A retards bone development Deficiency of Vitamin C results in fragile bones Deficiency of Vitamin D rickets, osteomalacia Insufficient Growth Hormone dwarfism Excessive Growth Hormone gigantism, acromegaly Insufficient Thyroid Hormone delays bone growth Sex Hormones promote bone formation; stimulate ossification of epiphyseal plates Physical Stress stimulates bone growth 25 Process bony prominence bump Condyle rounded or knuckle like process Tubercle small process Tuberosity large process (tibial tuberosity) Trochanter huge process (located on the proximal end of the femur) Superficial Bone Anatomy 26 Crest narrow ridge of bone Spine sharp slender process (holes and/or depressions) Fissure narrow slit through which blood vessels or nerves pass Foramen opening through which blood vessels and nerves pass Superficial Bone Anatomy 27 Meatus tubelike passageway running within a bone Sulcus or groove furrow that accommodates a soft structure such as blood vessels, nerves or tendons Fossa depression in or on the surface of a bone Superficial Bone Anatomy 28 Life-Span Changes decrease in height at about age 30 calcium levels fall bones become brittle osteoclasts outnumber osteoblasts spongy bone weakens before compact bone bone loss rapid in menopausal women hip fractures common vertebral compression fractures common 29 Impacted one fragment is firmly driven into the other Displaced anatomical alignment is NOT preserved Non-displaced anatomical alignment is preserved Stress partial fracture resulting in bones inability to withstand forces About 25% involve distal end of the fibula Clinical Application: Fractures 30 Clinical Application Types of Fractures green stick fissured comminuted transverse oblique spiral 31 Pathologic caused by weakening of the bone due to a disease Pott s fracture of the distal end of the fibula with serious injury to the distal tibial articulation Severe eversion sprain may lead to this Colle s fracture at the distal end of the radius in which the distal end is displaced posteriorly Occurs frequently when you try to stop yourself from falling Clinical Application: Fractures 32 Fracture breaks blood vessels found in the Haversian system Blood clot forms at the site of the break within 6 to 8 hours (fracture hematoma) Fracture hematoma serves as the focus for cellular invasion Clinical Application: Fracture Repair 33 Callus forms New bone tissue developed around the fracture Site of osteoblast activity Clinical Application: Fracture Repair 34 Remodeling Dead bone is absorbed by osteoclast Compact bone replaces spongy bone in the fractured area Clinical Application: Fracture Repair 35 Osteoporosis Age related disease characterized by decreased bone mass an increased chance of fractures Decreased levels of estrogen (sex hormones that stimulate osteoblast) Clinical Application: Disorders 36 Osteoporosis White women more than men and people of color Other factors linked to osteoporosis Body build short people have less bone mass Weight thin people have less adipose, which stores estrogen Smokers- low estrogen levels Calcium deficiency and mal-absorption Vitamin D deficiency Certain drugs- alcohol, cortisone, etc. Premature menopause Clinical Application: Disorders 37 Osteoporosis Prevention Exercise muscle action stimulates blood flow to bone tissue Estrogen pills- for post menopause women Calcium supplements/ vitamins Prescription anabolic steroids- increase hormone levels Sodium Fluoride stimulates oteoblast Clinical Application: Disorders 38 Osteogenic Sarcoma Malignant bone tumor that affects osteoblast People between ages of Left untreated it will metasticize and lead to death Treatment includes chemotherapy following amputation of affected area Clinical Application: Disorders 39 Rickets Vitamin D deficiency in children Body can t transport Ca +2 and P -3 from GI tract to blood Osteoblasts in diaphysis don t calcify causing bones to stay soft Weight of body causes the legs to bow Cure and prevention Dietary- add vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus in large amounts Exposing the skin to ultraviolet rays of light Clinical Application: Disorders 40 Skeletal Organization Axial Skeleton head
