Chapter 4: The Skeletal System
Lesson 4.1 Bone as a Living Tissue
4
Bone as a Living Tissue functions of the skeletal system
structures and classifications of bones growth and development of bones remodeling of bones
5
Functions of the Skeletal System
support body framework protection surround organs movement muscles pull bones storage minerals blood cell formation red bone marrow in medullary cavity
6
Structures and Classifications of Bones
composition of bones osteocytes–mature bone cells organization of bones Cortical bone tissue Trabecular tissue
7
Properties of the Two Types of Bone Tissue
Cortical Bone Trabecular Bone Structure Dense Porous (honeycomb) Mineral content Relatively high Relatively low Strength low Flexibility Low Relatively more Shock-absorbing ability Primary locations Outer surface of all bones, long bones of limbs Interior of vertebrae, femoral neck, wrist, and ankle bones
8
Shape Categories of Bones
long short flat irregular
9
Shape Categories of Bones
Long Bones Shaft made of cortical bone Bulbous knobs of trabecular bone encased in cortical bone at both ends Medullary cavity enclosed within shaft Ex: bones of arms and legs
10
Shape Categories of Bones
Short bones Shaped like a cube Composed mainly of trabecular bone Ex: Bones of wrist and ankle
11
Shape Categories of Bones
Flat Bones Thin with relatively large surface area 2 layers of cortical bone with layer of trabecular bone in between. Protect underlying organs Provide large areas for muscle attachment Ex: scapula and bones of the skull
12
Shape Categories of Bones
Irregular bones Individualized shape Ex: bones of spinal column and hip girdle
13
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
14
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Diaphysis Hollow shaft of bone made of cortical bone tissue Surrounded by periosteum Fibrous connective tissue membrane Contains blood, lymph vessels, and nerves Involved with bone growth, repair, and nutrition
15
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Medullary canal or cavity Filled with yellow bone marrow Rich supply of blood vessels Storehouse of fat Lined by the endosteum
16
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Epiphysis Bulbous ends Composed of trabecular bone tissue Contains red bone marrow Forms RBC (erythrocytes) and some WBC (leukocytes) Surrounded by articular cartilage
17
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Microscopic Structure Haversian canals Major passageways running lengthwise Provides paths for blood vessels
18
Lacunae Tiny cavities laid out in concentric circles around Haversian canals Contain osteocytes
19
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Osteon or Haversian system Includes a single haversian canal along with multiple canaliculi Canaliculi are sideways canals than join lucunae Transportation matrix for nutrient supply and waste disposal
20
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
Perforating (Volkmann’s) canals Large canals that run sideways or perpendicular to Haversian canals Connect Haversian canals
21
Anatomical Structure of Long Bones
22
Growth and Development of Bones
osteoblasts build bone tissue osteoclasts break down bone tissue bone formation ossification
23
Growth and Development of Bones
Ossification (due to osteoblasts) Immature bone formation and growth Embryo skeleton is made of flexible hyaline cartilage Cartilage is replaced by bone during fetal development 2 phases Bone matrix shell covers hyaline cartilage (osteoblasts) Hyaline cartilage is resorbed (osteoclasts) Creates medullary cavity
24
Growth and Development of Bones
longitudinal growth epiphyseal plate Located close to ends of long bones Osteoblasts on the central side of plate produce new bone cells during childhood. Plates dissolve and bone on either side fuse during adolescence (epiphyseal line)
25
Growth and Development of Bones
circumferential growth change in diameter occurs throughout most of life Osteoblasts in the internal layer of the periosteum build layers of new bone on top of existing layers Osteoclasts resorb layers of bone inside medullary cavity Diameter of the cavity enlarges
27
Growth and Development of Bones
adult bone development aging causes loss of bone mass Loss of collagen Bones become brittle Loss of bone minerals Mineral content in women peak at 25 – 28 yrs Mineral content of men peak at 30 – 35 yrs More problematic in women than men Women have smaller bones
28
Remodeling of Bones hypertrophy of bones stronger bones
Results from bones being subjected to forces Physical activity trigger osteoblasts to build bone Growth at site of force application where muscles attach Physically active people and heavier people have greater bone mass and density Bone accounts for 15% of body weight
29
Remodeling of Bones atrophy of bones weaker bones
Loss of bone mineral density Cause by reduced forces Bed ridden individuals Elite swimmers astronauts

Lesson 4.4 Joints
78
Categories of Joints immovable joints–synarthroses
slightly movable joints–amphiarthroses freely movable joints–diarthroses
79
Immovable Joints Synarthroses Sutures Syndesmoses (held by bands)
Irregularly grooved bone sheets joined closely and tightly by bone fibrous tissue. Begins to ossify in early adulthood; eventually completely bone skull Syndesmoses (held by bands) Extremely limited movement coracoacromial joint distal tibiofibular joint
80
Slightly Movable Joints
Amphiarthroses Synchondroses (held by cartilage) Articulating bones are held together by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage sternocostal joint epiphyseal plates Symphyses Thin plates of hyaline cartilage separate a disc of fibrocartilage from bones vertebral joints pubic symphysis
81
Freely Movable Joints Diarthroses AKA: synovial joints
Surrounded by articular capsule with a synovial membrane lining that secretes synovial fluid
82
Gliding joint Articulating bone surfaces are flat
Only gliding movement permitted Ex: Intercarpal joints
83
Hinge joints One articulating bone surface is convex and the other is concave Strong ligaments restrict movement to a planar, hingelike motion Ex humeroulnar
84
Pivot joints Permit rotation around only 1 axis Ex. radioulnar
85
Condyloid joint One articulating bone surface is an oval, convex shape; the other has a concave surface Large range of movement permitted Ex. metacarpophalangeal
86
Saddle joint Both bone surfaces are shaped like the seat of a saddle
Greater range of movement than condyloid Ex trapeziometacarpal
87
Ball and socket joints Most freely movable
Surface of bones are reciprocally convex and concave Ex humeroscapular
88
Freely Movable Joint Structures
Bursae Small capsules lined with synovial membranes and filled with synovial fluid Cushion structures it separates Usually separates tendons from bones (reduces friction) tendon sheaths Double-layered synovial structures surrounding tendons close to bones Secrete synovial fluid Long tendons crossing wrist and finger joints are protected by tendon sheaths
89
Freely Movable Joint Structures
articular tissues articular fibrocartilage Disc called meniscus intervertebral discs menisci of the knee Help to distribute forces evenly and absorb shock Tendons Connects muscle to bones Ligaments Connect bone to bone

Common Injuries and Disorders of the Skeletal System
common bone injuries osteoporosis common joint injuries arthritis
95
Fractures A break or crack in a bone Classified as: Simple
Compound – one or both bone ends protrude through skin greenstick stress comminuted Spiral Avulsions – fractures caused when a tendon ligament pulls away from the bone, taking a small chip of bone with it
96
Epiphyseal Injuries Include injuries to the:
epiphyseal plate articular cartilage Apophysis – site where tendon attaches to bone Damage to the growth plate can result in premature closure of the epiphyseal junction and terminate bone growth
97
Osteoporosis A condition in which bone mineralization and strength are so abnormally low that regular, daily activities can result in painful fractures. age-related osteoporosis Condition begins with osteopenia (reduced bone mass) the female athlete triad disordered eating amenorrhea osteoporosis
98
Common Joint Injuries sprains dislocations bursitis
torn ligament or tendon dislocations bone displaced from socket bursitis inflammation of bursae
99
