1 Function, Structure, and Repair
The Skeletal System Function, Structure, and Repair

2 The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system
Bones (skeleton) Joints Cartilages Ligaments Two subdivisions of the skeleton Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton

3 Functions of the Skeletal System
Support Permission of movement Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis) Protection Detoxification (removal of poisons) Provision for muscle attachment Mineral storage

4 Bones of the Human Body The adult skeleton has 206 bones
Two basic types of bone tissue Compact bone Homogeneous Spongy bone Small needle-like pieces of bone Many open spaces Figure 5.2b

5 Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape
Figure 5.1

6 Classification of Bones
Long bones Typically longer than they are wide Have a shaft with heads at both ends Contain mostly compact bone Example: Femur Humerus

7 Classification of Bones
Short bones Generally cube-shape Contain mostly spongy bone Example: Carpals Tarsals

8 Classification of Bones
Sesamoid Bones Bones embedded in a tendon Found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint Type of Short Bone Example: Patella

9 Classification of Bones
Flat bones Thin, flattened, and usually curved Two thin layers of compact bone surround a layer of spongy bone Example: Skull Ribs Sternum

10 Classification of Bones
Irregular bones Irregular shape Do not fit into other bone classification categories Example: Vertebrae Hip bones

11 Anatomy of a Long Bone Diaphysis Epiphysis Shaft
Composed of compact bone Epiphysis Ends of the bone Composed mostly of spongy bone

12 Anatomy of a Long Bone Periosteum Sharpey’s fibers Arteries
Outside covering of the diaphysis Fibrous connective tissue membrane Sharpey’s fibers Secure periosteum to underlying bone Arteries Supply bone cells with nutrients

13 Anatomy of a Long Bone Articular cartilage
Covers the external surface of the epiphyses Made of hyaline cartilage Decreases friction at joint surfaces Epiphyseal plate Flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing bone Lengthens long bones in growing bones Epiphyseal line Remnant of the epiphyseal plate Seen in adult bones

14 Anatomy of a Long Bone Medullary cavity Cavity inside of the shaft
Consists of spongy bone that: Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults Contains red marrow (for blood cell formation) in infants

15 Bone Markings Surface features of bones Categories of bone markings
Sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and ligaments Passages for nerves and blood vessels Categories of bone markings Projections or processes — grow out from the bone surface Depressions or cavities — indentations

16 Bone Markings Table 5.1 (1 of 2)

17 Bone Markings Table 5.1 (2 of 2)

18 Microscopic Anatomy of Bone
Osteon (Haversian system) A unit of bone containing central canal and matrix rings Central (Haversian) canal Opening in the center of an osteon Carries blood vessels and nerves Perforating (Volkman’s) canal Canal perpendicular to the central canal

19 Microscopic Anatomy of Bone
Lacunae Cavities containing bone cells (osteocytes) Arranged in concentric rings Lamellae Rings around the central canal Sites of lacunae

20 Microscopic Anatomy of Bone
Canaliculi Tiny canals Radiate from the central canal to lacunae Form a transport system connecting all bone cells to a nutrient supply

21 Bone consists of abundant amount of Matrix

22 Formation of the Human Skeleton
In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline cartilage During development, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone Cartilage remains in isolated areas Bridge of the nose Parts of ribs (Hyaline cartilage) Joints External ear & epiglottis (elastic cartilage)

23 Bone Growth (Ossification)
Epiphyseal plates allow for lengthwise growth of long bones during childhood New cartilage is continuously formed Older cartilage becomes ossified Cartilage is broken down Enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity Bone replaces cartilage through the action of osteoblasts

24 Bone Growth (Ossification)
Bones are remodeled and lengthened until growth stops Bones are remodeled in response to two factors Blood calcium levels (if too high your body releases Calcitonin to restore homeostasis) Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton Bones grow in width (called appositional growth)

25 Bone Growth (Ossification)
Endochondral ossification- this type of bone formation happens within a cartilage model (usually in all bones except skull) Intramembranous ossification- this type of bone formation happens within connective tissue membranes (usually occurs in fetal skull) Video

26 Long Bone Formation and Growth
Bone starting to replace cartilage Epiphyseal plate cartilage Articular cartilage Spongy bone In a child In a fetus In an embryo New bone forming Growth in bone width Growth in bone length Blood vessels Hyaline cartilage New center of bone growth Medullary cavity Bone collar Hyaline cartilage model (a)

27 Types of Bone Cells Osteocytes—mature bone cells
Osteoblasts—bone-forming cells Osteoclasts—bone-destroying cells Bone remodeling is performed by both osteoblasts and osteoclasts During fetal development bone- forming is faster than bone- destroying but that will reverse in older age (bones become more brittle)

28 Bone Remodeling (1:35)

29 Bone Fractures Fracture — break in a bone Types of bone fractures
Closed (simple) fracture —break that does not penetrate the skin Open (compound) fracture —broken bone penetrates through the skin Bone fractures are treated by reduction and immobilization

30 Common Types of Fractures
Table 5.2

31 Repair of Bone Fractures
Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch Hematoma External callus Bony callus of spongy bone Healed fracture New blood vessels Internal callus (fibrous tissue and cartilage) Spongy bone trabecula Hematoma formation Fibrocartilage callus formation Bony callus formation Bone remodeling
