7.1: Introduction
• Human skeleton initially cartilages and fibrous membranes
• Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant cartilage
• By age 25 the skeleton is completely hardened growth
ceases
• 206 bones make up the adult skeleton (20% of body mass)
• 80 bones of the axial skeleton
• 126 bones of the appendicular skeleton
2
7.2: Bone Structure
• Bones of the skeletal system vary greatly in size and
shape
• There is similarity in structure, development, and
function
3
Support, Protection,
and Movement
• Support, Movement & Protection
• Gives shape to head, etc.
• Supports body’s weight
• Protects lungs, etc.
• Bones and muscles interact
• When limbs or body parts move

Microscopic Structure
• Bone cells are called osteocytes
• Osteocytes transport nutrients and wastes
• The extracellular matrix of bone is largely collagen and
inorganic salts
• Collagen gives bone resilience
• Inorganic salts make bone hard
7
Compact Bone
• Osteon
aka Haversian System
• Central canal
• Perforating canal aka
Volkmann’s canal
• Osteocytes
• Lamellae
• Lacunae
• Bone matrix
• Canaliculi

7.3: Bone Development
and Growth
• Parts of the skeletal system begin to develop during the
first few weeks of prenatal development
• Bones replace existing connective tissue in one of two
ways:
• As intramembranous bones
• As endchondral bones
10
Intramembranous Bones
• Intramembranous Bones
• These bones originate within sheetlike layers of
connective tissues
• They are the broad, flat bones
• Skull bones (except mandible)
• Are known as intramembranous bones
11
Endochondral Bones
• Endochondral Bones
• Bones begin as hyaline cartilage
• Form models for future bones
• These are most bones of the skeleton
• Are known as endochondral bones
12
Endochondral Ossification
• Hyaline cartilage model
• Primary ossification center
• Secondary ossification centers
• Epiphyseal plate
• Osteoblasts vs. osteoclasts

Bone Growth in Width
Please note that due to differing
operating systems, some animations
will not appear until the presentation is
viewed in Presentation Mode (Slide
Show view). You may see blank slides
in the “Normal” or “Slide Sorter” views.
All animations will appear after viewing
in Presentation Mode and playing each
animation. Most animations will require
the latest version of the Flash Player,

Homeostasis of Bone Tissue
• Bone Resorption – action of osteoclasts and parathyroid
hormone aka parathormone aka PTH
• Bone Deposition – action of osteoblasts and calcitonin
• Occurs by direction of the thyroid and parathyroid glands

Factors Affecting Bone
Development, Growth and Repair
• Deficiency of Vitamin A – retards bone development
• Deficiency of Vitamin C – results in fragile bones
• Deficiency of Vitamin D – rickets, osteomalacia
• Insufficient Growth Hormone – dwarfism
• Excessive Growth Hormone – gigantism, acromegaly
• Insufficient Thyroid Hormone – delays bone growth
• Sex Hormones – promote bone formation; stimulate ossification
of epiphyseal plates
• Physical Stress – stimulates bone growth
