SKELETAL SYSTEM Skeletal System Two parts of skeletal system Axial – head, trunk, spine, sacrum Appendicular – Extremeties Bone classifications Long bones – forearm, legs Short bones – cube-like, ankles, wrist Flat bones – plate-like, skull Irregular – unusual shape, spine, face Sesamoid – bone in tendon, patella Long bones Parts Epiphysis – expanded portion at ends of bone, articulates (creates joint) with another bone Coated in articular cartilage. Diaphysis – shaft of the bone, located between epiphyses. Long bones Parts Periosteum Excluding – tough, fibrous tissue covering bones articular cartilage on epiphysial ends Continuous with ligaments and tendons. Location for a shin splint Long bones Parts Periosteum Excluding – tough, fibrous tissue covering bones articular cartilage on epiphysial ends Continuous with ligaments and tendons. Location for a shin splint Long bones Parts Bony process – location for ligament and tendon attachment. Ligament connects 2 bones (sprain a ligament) Tendon connects muscle to bone (strain a tendon and muscle) Grooves and openings – passageways for blood vessels and nerves Depression – large grooves where bones may articulate or large soft tissues fit. Long bones Compact bone Wall of diaphysis Continuous bone matrix with no gaps Thick and solid Long bones Spongy bone Epiphysis Thin layer of compact bone Branching bony plates called trabeculae Reduces weight of bone Strong vs compression Long bones Medullary cavity Compact bone forms an inner tube Contains bone-forming cells (endosteum) Filled with marrow Marrow – 2 types Yellow – stores fat Usually Red in long bones – produce blood cells Long bones Medullary cavity Compact bone forms an inner tube Contains bone-forming cells (endosteum) Filled with marrow Marrow – 2 types Yellow – stores fat Usually Red in long bones – produce blood cells Long bones 8 major parts of a long bone Epiphysis - ends Diaphysis - shaft Compact bone - outer part of bone Spongy bone - inner portion of bone Periosteum - outer connective tissue Endosteum - connective tissue lining medullary cavity Medullary canal - opening in center of bone Articular cartilage - cartilage at joint surfaces Long bones Osteon – osteocytes (bone cells) and intercellular material Form cylinder-shaped units around a central canal Compact Bone Compact Bone Osteocytes – bone cells, Compact bone Bony chamber where bone cells are located are lacunae Form circles around a central canal (Haversian canal) Osteocytes transport nutrients and waste to and from nearby cells through canaliculi Bone itself (lamellae) is largely collagen and inorganic salts (Ca, K, P). Collagen – gives strength Inorganic salts – make hard and resists crushing Compact Bone Osteocytes – bone cells Central canal of osteon contains blood vessels and nerve tissue Central canals have transverse (across the length) canals to connect blood vessels and nerves Perforating canals AKA Volkmann’s canals Compact Bone Spongy Bone Spongy bone – also composed of osteocytes Bone does not aggregate (come together) around central canal like in compact bone. Cells are located within trabeculae. Spongy Bone Review Questions How are bones classified? What are the 7 major parts of a long bone? How do compact and spongy bone differ in structure? Explain the parts of an osteon. Bone Development and Growth Starts to develop in first few weeks. Continue to grow into adulthood. 2 ways bones form to replace existing connective tissue Intramembranous bones – form from sheets of connective tissue Endochondral bones – form from masses of cartilage Bone Development and Growth Intramembranous bone – Forms broad, flat bones of skull Membrane-like connective tissue that is filled with osteoblasts – bone forming cells “osteo” – bone “blasts” – primary forming cells Once the osteoblast is fully surrounded by bone and is no longer able to create new bone it is called an osteocyte “Osteo” – bone “cyte” – cell Bone Development and Growth Bone Development and Growth Endochondral bones – most bones of the skeleton Primary ossification center Ossification – bone formation Middle of the shaft of the bone Secondary Ends ossification center(s) of bone Ossification centers are the location of osteoblasts (bone forming cells) Bone Development and Growth Bone Development and Growth Bone Development and Growth Bone Development and Growth Endochondral bones – most bones of the skeleton Primary ossification center Ossification – bone formation Middle of the shaft of the bone Secondary Ends ossification center(s) of bone Ossification centers are the location of osteoblasts (bone forming cells) Bone Development and Growth After maturation of bone Wolf’s Law – bone will adapt to stress and use with resorption or deposition. The more stress on a bone the more bone will be deposited If not used resorption will occur because the body will not waste resources. This is why muscle attachment sites are more exaggerated Tibial tuberosity – Osgood Schlatters.

Most common type of lever in the body Least efficient type of lever All hinge joints in the body Function of bone Function of bone Blood cell formation Hemopoiesis – “hemo” = blood, “poeisis” = production Marrow in medullar cavities Yellow – fat Red – forms blood cells Red because it contains hemoglobin (“hemo” = blood, “globin” = protein) Carries oxygen within blood cells and that is why it is red. Primarily found in flat bones of skull, ribs, sternum, clavicles, vertebrae, and pelvis Function of bone Inorganic salt stores Salts account for 70% or weight of bones Calcium phosphate (calcium and phosphorus) AKA hydroxyapatite If body processes are deficient or low in calcium, the body will take it from the bones. Osteoporosis Other salts include magnesium, sodium, and carbonate. What are the major functions of bone?
