36–1 The Skeletal System
The Skeleton
(All organisms need structural support.
Unicellular organisms have a cytoskeleton.
Multicellular animals have either an exoskeleton
(arthropods) or an endoskeleton (vertebrates).)

The Skeleton
(The human skeleton is composed of bone.
Bones and other connective tissues, such as
cartilage and ligaments, form the skeletal system).

The Skeleton
A. The skeleton:
• 1. supports the body.
• 2. protects internal organs.
• 3. provides for movement.
• 4. stores mineral reserves.
• 5. provides a site for blood cell formation.
• Osteo=bone

Structure of Bones
(The bone is surrounded by a tough layer of
connective tissue called the periosteum.
Blood vessels in the periosteum carry oxygen and
nutrients to the bone. )

Structure of Bones
(Beneath the periosteum is a thick layer of compact
bone.
Running through compact bone is a network of tubes
called Haversian canals that contain blood vessels
and nerves.)

Structure of Bones
(Spongy bone is found inside the outer layer of
compact bone.
Spongy bone is also found in the ends of long bones
and in the middle of short, flat bones.
Spongy bone adds strength without adding mass.)

Structure of Bones
(Osteocytes, or mature bone cells, are embedded in
the bone matrix.
Other bone cells—osteoclasts and osteoblasts—line
the Haversian canals and the surfaces of compact
and spongy bone.
•
Osteoclasts break down bone.
•
Osteoblasts produce bone.)

E. Bone marrow:
soft tissue inside the cavities of bones.
F. 2 types of bone marrow:
•
1. Yellow marrow is made up of fat cells.
•
2. Red marrow produces red blood cells, some
kinds of white blood cells, and platelets.

G. Development of Bones
1. skeleton of an embryo is composed of cartilage.
2. Cartilage:
* strong connective tissue that supports the body
* softer and more flexible than bone.

Development of Bones
H. Ossification:
Cartilage is replaced by bone
(Bone tissue forms as osteoblasts secrete mineral
deposits.
When the osteoblasts become surrounded by bone
tissue, they mature into osteocytes.)

I.
Development of Bones
Growth plates:
area at either end of long bone that cartilage
grows.
(Growth of cartilage at these plates causes bones to
lengthen. Gradually, this cartilage is replaced by
bone tissue.
By early adulthood, cartilage in the growth plates is
replaced by bone, the bones become ossified, and
growth stops.)

together by connective tissue, or
they are fused together.

Structure of Joints
(Structure of Joints
In freely movable joints, cartilage covers the
surfaces where two bones come together.
Joints are also surrounded by a fibrous capsule
that holds the bones together while still allowing
them to move.)

C. ligaments: hold bones together in joints
(Synovial fluid forms a thin lubricating film over the
surface of the joint.
Synovial fluid enables the bones to slide past each
other more smoothly.)

(In some freely movable joints small sacs of synovial
fluid called bursae form.
A bursa reduces the friction between bones of a joint
and also acts as a shock absorber.)

4. Skeletal System Disorders
A.Excessive strain on a joint may produce
inflammation,
(in which excess fluid causes swelling, pain,
heat, and redness.)
B. Bursitis: Inflammation of a bursa
C. Arthritis: Inflammation of the joint
D. Osteoporosis: is caused by a loss of calcium in
the bone.
