Introduction Bones provide structure and support
206 bones plus joints and connective tissue Divisions Axial ~ 80 bones Skull Vertebral column Rib cage Appendicular ~ 126 bones Arms and legs Pectoral girdle Pelvic girdle Learning Outcome: Describe the structure of bone tissue. Hyoid bone – anchors the tongue; included in the axial skeleton. Pectoral girdle – attaches the arms to the axial skeleton. Pelvic girdle – attaches the legs to the axial skeleton.

Bone Structure Bones contain various kinds of tissues
Osseous tissue Blood vessels Nerves Osseous tissue can appear compact or spongy Spongy (Cancellous) Bone Compact Bone Learning Outcome: Describe the structure of bone tissue. Osseous tissue Spongy or cancellous bone has more spaces within it than compact bone does. Spongy bone looks a lot like a natural sea sponge with the spaces filled with red bone marrow. Compact bone looks solid like granite or marble.

Bone Structure (cont.) Structures within compact bone Osteons
Bone matrix Lamella Lacunae Canaliculi All bones are made up of both compact and spongy bone Learning Outcome: Describe the structure of bone tissue. Osteons (Haversian system) – elongated cylinders that run up and down the long axis of the bone. Each osteon has a central canal that contains blood vessels and nerves. Bone matrix – inorganic salts, collagen fibers, and proteins that exists between osteocytes(bone cells). The primary salt of the matrix is calcium phosphate, which makes bone matrix very hard. Lamella – layers of bone surrounding the canals of osteons. Lacunae – holes in the bone matrix that hold osteocytes. Canaliculi – tiny canals that connect lacunae to each other and allow osteocytes to spread nutrients to each other.

Bone Structure (cont.) Long bones Femur and humerus Parts Diaphysis
Epiphysis Articular cartilage Medullary cavity Periosteum Endosteum Learning Outcome: Describe the structure of bone tissue. Bones are classified according to their shape. Long bones Diaphysis – shaft of a long bone. Epiphysis – expanded end; consists of thin layer of compact bone surrounding cancellous bone. Articular cartilage – covers epiphyses of long bones. Medullary cavity – canal that runs through center of diaphysis; contains yellow bone marrow in adults. Periosteum – membrane surrounding the diaphysis. Endosteum – membrane lining the medullary cavity and the holes of cancellous bone.

Bone Structure (cont.) Short bones Flat bones Irregular bones
Sesamoid bones Learning Outcome: Describe the structure of bone tissue. Short bones – small bones located in the wrists and ankles. Examples – Carpals and Tarsals Flat bones – primarily located in the skull and rib cage. Examples include the ribs and frontal bone. Irregular bones include the vertebrae and the pelvic girdle bones.

Functions of Bones Give shape to body parts
Support and protect soft structures Function in body movement Red bone marrow – hematopoiesis Store calcium Learning Outcome: Explain the functions of bones.

Correct! Apply Your Knowledge
Why is it important for the bones to store calcium? ANSWER: Every cell in the body needs calcium, so the body must have a large supply readily available. Correct! Learning Outcome: Explain the functions of bones.

Bone Growth Ossification Intramembranous ossification
Bones begin as tough, fibrous membrane Osteoblasts turn the membrane to bone Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Ossification – the process of bone growth Intramembranous ossification Bones begin as tough, fibrous membranes. Bone-forming cells called osteoblasts turn the membrane to bone. Except for the lower jaw bone, the bones of the skull are formed by intramembranous ossification.

Bone Growth (cont.) Endochondral ossification
Bones begin as cartilage models Diaphysis ~ primary ossification center Diaphysis Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification Osteoblasts form a bone collar around the diaphysis of the cartilage model. Bone is formed in the diaphysis of the bone.

Bone Growth (cont.) Endochondral ossification
Epiphysis ~ secondary ossification center Epiphyseal disc ~ cartilage between epiphysis and diaphysis Diaphysis Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification Epiphyses turn to bone. Medullary cavity and spaces in cancellous bone are formed. The cells that form holes in bone are called osteoclasts Bone will continue to grow in length as long as there is some cartilage between an epiphysis and the diaphysis This plate of cartilage is called an epiphyseal disk or growth plate. Once the cartilage is gone, bone growth stops

Building Better Bones Bone – healthy diet Bone-healthy exercises
Vitamin D Calcium Bone-healthy exercises Weight-bearing Strength-training Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Many factors influence bone health. Patients improve or maintain their bone health learning about behaviors that will support bone health. Bone-Healthy Diet Calcium and vitamin D are particularly important for healthy bones. Without vitamin D, the bloodstream cannot absorb calcium. Without calcium, bone tissue will slowly wear away. Bone-building nutrients are found in dairy products, broccoli, kale, spinach, salmon, sardines, egg yolks, whole grains, and fruits, especially bananas and oranges. Bone-Healthy Exercises Weight-bearing and strength-training exercises. When your muscles contract, they pull on your bones. This tension stimulates bones to thicken and strengthen. Lifting weights is an effective way to increase the tension on bones.

Building Better Bones (cont.)
Bone-healthy lifestyle – avoid smoking and alcohol Bone tests Bone density tests Bone scan Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Bone-Healthy Lifestyle Avoid smoking and alcohol. Smoking rids the body of calcium, which is necessary for bone growth. Alcohol prevents calcium absorption in the digestive tract. Bone Tests Bone density tests are painless procedures used to determine the density of a person’s bones. Bone scans help diagnose the causes of bone pain, arthritis, bone infections, and bone cancers.

Good Job! Apply Your Knowledge What are the two types of bone growth?
ANSWER: Intramembranous ossification, in which bones begin as tough membrane and are turned to bone by osteoblasts, and endochondral ossification, in which primary ossification occurs in the diaphysis of the bone and secondary ossification occurs in the epiphysis. Learning Outcome: Compare intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Good Job!

Lordosis An exaggerated inward curvature of the lumbar spine; swayback. Wearing high heels is a frequent cause. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Brittle-bone disease Decreased amounts of collagen in bones; very fragile bones Eight types Hereditary Osteoporosis Bones thin over time due to hypocalcemia – bone is broken down to release calcium and bone density decreases. Hormone deficiencies; sedentary lifestyle; lack of calcium and vitamin D in the diet; bone cancers; corticosteroids; smoking; alcohol consumption; and steroid use.

Osteosarcoma – bone cancer from osteoblasts Paget’s disease – bones enlarge, become deformed, and weak Scoliosis – an abnormal S-shaped curvature of the spine Learning Outcome: Describe the common diseases and disorders of the skeletal system. Osteosarcoma A type of bone cancer usually affecting the leg bones that originates from osteoblasts It occurs most often in children, teens, and young adults and more often in males than females. The etiology of this type of cancer is unclear. Paget’s disease Causes bones to enlarge and become deformed and weak. It usually affects people older than the age of 40. This disease may be caused by a virus or various hereditary factors. Scoliosis An abnormal, S-shaped, lateral curvature of the thoracic or lumbar spine. Can develop prenatally when vertebrae do not fuse together. It can also result from diseases that cause weakness of the muscles that hold vertebrae together. Other causes of scoliosis are unknown but they may be genetic.
