longitudinal axis of body
2. __________ ________– bones of limbs and
girdles
B. bone functions
1. __________
a. forms internal framework
b. supports and anchors all soft organs
2. __________
protect soft body organs
3. __________
attachment for skeletal muscles via
tendons
3
4. ___________
a. stores fat in internal cavities
b. storehouse for minerals (> imp. is
Ca & P)
5. ______ _______ ____________
a. also called hematopoiesis
b. occurs in marrow cavities of certain
bones
c. red marrow  blood cells
4
C. bone classification
1. 2 basic types of bone (osseous) tissue:
a. ________ ______– dense, looks smooth
and homogeneous
b.______ ______– composed of small
needle-like pieces of bone & open
space
2. classified according to shape:
a. ______ _______
1. longer than they are wide
2. have a shaft w/ heads @ both ends
3. bones of ______
(except wrist & ankle)
5
b. _______ ______
1. usu. cube-shaped & spongy bone
2. bones of ______ & ______
3. sesamoid bones –
*special type of short bone
*form w/i tendons (patella)
c. _______ ________
1. thin, flattened, usu. curved
2. layer of spongy bone b/t 2 layers
of compact bone
3. most bones of skull
d. __________ _______
1. vertebrae (make up spinal col.)
2. hip bones (coxal)
6
Long – yellow
Short – light green
Flat – purple
Irregular – light blue
Sesamoid – orange
Axial skeleton – red
Appendicular skeleton - blue
7
D. Long bone structure
1. gross anatomy
a. ___________
*shaft
*makes up most of bone’s length
*composed of compact bone
b. ___________
*protective membrane-covering of
diaphysis
c. _______ ________
*also called perforating fibers
*c.t. fibers that secure periosteum
to bone
8
d. ___________
*ends of long bones
*area of spongy bone enclosed in
thin layer of compact bone
e. _______ ___________
*covers external surface of epiphyses
*glassy hyaline cartilage
*provides a smooth, slippery surface
to reduce friction @ joints
f. ________ _________
*flat plate of hyaline cartilage
*seen in young, growing bone
*causes lengthwise growth of a long
bone
9
g. _________ _________
*also called the yellow marrow cav.
*cavity of the shaft
*adultsstorage area for adipose
tissue
*infantscontains red marrow &
forms blood cells
(adults: red marrow is found only
in spongy bone cavities of flat
bones & epiphyses)

are arranged
d. ___________ _________
*central canals around wh/ the
lamella form
NOTE: see page 92 for micrograph of the structure of
bone
14
e. __________
*also called Haversian system
*each complex consisting of a
central canal + matrix rings
*canals run lengthwise carrying
________ ______& _______ to all
areas of bone
f. ____________
*_________ _________
*connect bone cells to nutrient
supply
*radiate o/w from the central canals
to all lacunae
*reason bone cells are well nourished

19
E. Bone formation, growth, remodeling
1. _________ & __________
a. ____________
*process of bone formation
*2 phases
-osteoblasts (bone forming
cells) cover hyaline cartilage
-hyaline cartilage is digested
away forming medullary
cavity
b. ______________ _______
*increase in diameter of bone
c. _________
*bone-destroying cells
20
21
2. bone remodeling
a. nec. for bones to retain normal prop. &
strength as body increases in size &
strength
b. PTH (parathyroid hormone)
*determines when bone is to be
broken down(body needs
calcium)/formed (has to much Ca)
*stresses (muscle pull, gravity)
determine where bone matrix is to
be broken down/formed
c. allows skeleton to remain as strong &
vital as possible during growth, injury,
etc.

F. Problems
1. ________
a. childhood disease in wh/bones fail to
___________
b. bones soften  bowing of legs
