3. Functions of the Skeletal System
Provides for movement
Stores mineral reserves
Produces red blood cells

4. Bone Composition Bone is living tissue.
It is a solid network of cells and protein fibers surrounded by deposits of minerals.
Components:
32% Organic materials (collagen and bone cells)
43% Minerals (calcium and phosphorous)
25% Water

5. Bone Cells There are four main types of bone cells in bone tissue.
Osteogenic cells respond to traumas, such as fractures, by giving rise to osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) synthesize and secrete unmineralized ground substance and are found in areas of high metabolism within the bone.
Osteocytes are mature bone cells made from osteoblasts that have made bone tissue around themselves.
Osteoclasts are large cells that break down bone tissue. They are very important to bone growth, healing, and remodeling.

8. Structure of bone
Spongy bone is the inside layer of compact bone that is actually quite strong but lacy in appearance and contains red marrow which produces blood cells.
Taking a closer look: A cross- section of the long bone.
Periosteum covers bone, is a place for tendon and ligament attachment, and brings blood, lymph vessels and nerves into the bone.
Compact bone is a dense layer of bone tissue composed of cylinders or tubes of mineral crystals and protein fibers, that give bone its strength.
Bone marrow (primarily yellow marrow) stores fat that serves as an energy reserve and contains blood vessels and nerve cells.

9. Structure of Bone
Osteocytes are responsible for bone growth and changes in the shape of bone. They can either deposit or absorb calcium salts
Haversian canals
Here is another diagram
Just to help give you that visual to remember all of this!
Blood vessels carry nourishment to the living bone tissue as well as removing wastes
Haversian canals are interconnected networks of tubes in which blood vessels and nerves run through.

10. Structure of Bone
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones where they articulate or join with other bones.
As adulthood is reached, the epiphyseal plate (growth plate) is replaced by bone and fuses, thus completing growth.

16. Bone Formation 12 week fetus 16 week fetus
Ossification begins to take place up to seven months before birth

17. Bone Formation
Babies are born with 350 bones, many are composed almost entirely of cartilage.
Latter the cartilage cells will be replaced by cells that form the bones. (ossification)
The SOFT SPOT of a baby’s skull will fuse around age , but growth of the skull continues until adulthood.
Long bones develop and grow through out childhood at the centers of ossification (growth plates)

18. Bone Formation Stages of Ossification
Between the ages of 16 and 25 years, all of the cartilage of the epiphyseal disc is replaced by bone. This is called closure of the epiphyseal disc, and the bone lengthening process stops.

31. Bone Classification by Shape
5 Types
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
sesamoid

32. Shapes of Bones
Long bones are longer than they are wide and work as levers. The bones of the upper and lower extremities (ex. humerus, tibia, femur, ulna, metacarpals, etc.) are of this type.
Short bones are short, cube- shaped, and found in the wrists and ankles.
Flat bones have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles
(ex. cranial bones, ribs, and bones of the hip and shoulder girdles).
Irregular bones are all others that do not fall into the previous categories. They have varied shapes, sizes, and surface features and include the bones of the vertebrae and a few in the skull.
Sessamoid bones are irregular bones that are embedded within a tendon. An example is the patella or kneecap.

34. Joints JOINTS: WHERE TWO or MORE BONES MEET
Joints are responsible for keeping bones far enough apart so they do not rub against each other as they move, preventing damage.
At the same time, joints hold the bones in place.
Different joints permit different amounts of movement.
Joints are classified by the amount and type of movement they permit.

35. Types of Joints Immovable- A fixed joint, one that allows no movement
bones of skull, pelvis, and sacrum
Slightly movable- joint that permits a small amount of restricted movement
between vertebrae, two bones of lower leg
Freely movable- Permit movement in one or more directions

36. Classification of Joints

37. Freely Movable Joints TYPES OF FREELY MOVABLE JOINTS
A. BALL AND SOCKET JOINT – Permits circular movement - the widest range of movement.
SHOULDER Joint- which enables you to move your arm up, down, forward and backward, as well as to rotate it in a complete circle.
HIP Joint- same range of motion.

38. Types of Freely Movable Joints Continued
B. HINGED JOINT - Permits a back and-forth motion.
The Knee- enables your leg to flex and extend.
The Elbow -allows you to move your forearm forward and backward.
The Phalanges
C. PIVOT JOINT - Permits rotation of one bone around another.
The elbow enables your hand to turn over. (radius rotates around ulna)
It also allows you to turn your head from side to side. (atlas rotates around axis)

40. Structures of a freely movable joint
Anatomy of a Joint
Structures of a freely movable joint
2 or more bones
Cartilage
Joint capsule
Synovial membrane
Synovial fluid
Fat
Bursa
Meniscus
Ligaments
Tendons

41. Anatomy of a Joint
Cartilage - at the joint, the bones are covered with cartilage, which is wear-resistant and helps reduce the friction of movement.
Joint capsule- is a thick, tough layer that envelops the joint cavity forming a membrane or sac that adheres firmly to the periosteum of the articulating bones

42. Anatomy of a Joint
Synovial membrane - a tissue that lines the joint and seals it into a joint capsule. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid.
Synovial fluid - a clear, sticky fluid secreted by the synovial membrane to lubricate the joint.

43. Anatomy of a Joint Fat- Helps pad and cushion the joint.
Bursa- fluid-filled sac between adjacent structures such as ligaments or bones which help reduce friction in a joint, cushion it, and absorb shock.
Meniscus- wedge shaped cartilage, curved like the letter "C" at the inside and outside of each knee. A strong stabilizing tissue, helps the knee joint carry weight, and glide and turn in many directions. It also keeps your femur and tibia from grinding against each other.

44. Anatomy of a Joint
ligaments - tough, elastic bands of connective tissue
surround the joint to give support and limit the joint's movement.
Attach bone to bone
tendons – another type of tough connective tissue
on each side of a joint attached to muscles that control movement of the joint.
Attach muscle to bone
Knee Joint

45. Common Skeletal Disorders
Fractures
A broken bone is known as a fracture. This can simply be a crack or buckle in the structure of the bone, or a complete break, producing two or more fragments.

46. Common Skeletal Disorders
Bone Fracture Repair
The repair of bone fractures is similar to embryonic bone formation.
