SKELETAL SYSTEM

Functions of the Skeletal System

•Bones are made of OSSEOUS TISSUE

•Support and Protection

•Body movement

•Blood cell formation (bone marrow) - hemopoiesis

•Storage of inorganic materials 

                   (salt, calcium, potassium….)

ORGANIZATION

•About 206

bones

•2 Main

Divisions –

Axial &

Appendicular

Axial Skeleton

•Head, neck, trunk

•Skull

•Hyoid Bone

•Vertebral Column

•Thoracic Cage (ribs, 12 pairs)

•Sternum

Hyoid Bone

Appendicular Skeleton

•Limbs & Bones that connect to theoPectoral Girdle (shoulders)oPelvic Girdle (hips)

BONE STRUCTURE - Long Bone

1.Epiphysis

2.Diaphysis

3.Articular Cartilage

4.Periosteum

Inside the Long Bone

Medullary Cavity –

hollow chamber filled

with bone marrow

Red Marrow (blood)

Yellow Marrow (fat)

Endosteum

– lining of the medullary

Types of Bone Tissue

Compact (wall of the diaphysis)

Spongy (cancellous, epiphysis) - red marrow

Microscopic Structure

MATRIX - where the bone cells live OSTEOCYTES  - mature bone cells, enclosed in tiny chambers called LACUNAE OSTEOCYTES form rings (LAMELLAE) around a HAVERSIAN CANAL which houses blood vessels Osteocytes are linked by CANALICULI Haversian Canals are linked by VOLKMAN's CANALS

BONE DEVELOPMENT & GROWTH

1.Intramembranous bones – flat, skull

2. Endochondral bones – all other

 ALL BONES START AS HYALINE

CARTILAGE, areas graduallly turn to bone

PRIMARY OSSIFICATION CENTER (shaft)

SECONDARY OSSIFICATION CENTER (ends) 

Bone Development & Growth

EPIPHYSEAL DISK  (growth plate) is a band of cartilage between the epiphysis and diaphysis These areas increase bone length as the cells ossify 

RESORPTION

OSTEOCLASTS - dissolve bone tissue to release minerals,  process is called RESORPTION

Bone Growth

Types of Joints (articulations)

1.Synarthrotic (not

moveable, aka sutures)

2.Amphiarthrotic

(slightly moveable,

vertebrae)

3.Diarthrotic (moveable

joint, aka synovial

joints)

Synovial fluid - fluid within the joints that helps to lubricate

Types of Joints

1.  Ball and Socket2.  Hinge3.  Pivot4.  Saddle

BONES OF THE SKULL

1. Frontal -2. Parietal - 3. Occipital -4. Temporal - 5. Sphenoid - 6. Maxilla - 7. Mandible -

8. Zygomatic -

TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SKULL

Foramen - refers to any tiny opening, nerves and blood vessels leave this opening to supply the face

Mental Foramen

Suture - refers to any connection between large bones (in fetal skulls, these are called fontanels)

Fissure - any wide gap between bones

Sutures

1. Coronal - between frontal and parietal bones2. Lambdoidal - between occipital and parietal bones3. Squamosal - between temporal and parietal bones4. Sagittal - between parietal bones

Abnormal Bone Conditions

•BONE SPURS: abnormal growth. Can occur on any bone (e.g. heel).

•OSTEOPOROSIS: Increased activity of osteoclasts cause a break down of bone, and the subsequent fewer minerals in the extracellular matrix make it fragile. The spongy bone especially becomes more porous.

•Men get it as well as women. What’s the best way to prevent osteoporosis? Exercise! What does exercise do? Makes bones bigger.

•The most common bone used for a bone graft is the iliac bone of the hip.

ABNORMALITIES OF THE SPINE

ABNORMALITIES OF THE SPINE

•SCOLIOSIS is a lateral curve in the spine

•KYPHOSIS is a hunchback curve

•LORDOSIS is a swayback in the lower region.

•ANKYLOSIS is severe arthritis in the spine and

FUN FACTS ABOUT BONESBone is made of the same type of minerals as limestone.

•Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies.

•The giraffe has the same number of bones in its neck as a human: seven in total.

•The long horned ram can take a head butt at 25 mph. The human skull will fracture at 5mph.
