function of bones
support the body protect soft organs allow movement due to attached muscle store minerals and fats blood cell formation
bone tissue
compact bone outside osteon spongy bone-inside
classification of bone shape
Long bones short bones flat bones irregular bones
long bones
typically longer than wide expanded end femur, humerus
short bones
generally cube shaped carpals and tarsals
flat bones
thin flattened and usually curved skull, ribs and sternum
irregular bones
irregular shape do not fit other classification categories vertebrae, hip bones
long bone structure
Diaphysis epiphysis periosteum perforating fibers articular cartilage epiphyseal plate epiphyseal linemedujllary cavity
diaphysis
shaft wall thick layer of compact bone covering spngy bone
epiphysis
expanded joints forms joints spngy bone covered by compact bone
periosteum
outside covering of the diaphysis blood vessels just underneath fibrous connective tissue membrane
perforating fibers
secure periosteum to the underlying bone
articular cartilage
covers external surface of epiphysis located on articulated surface made of hyaline cartilage decreases friction at joint surfaces
epipyseal plate
flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone
epiphyseal line
remnant of epiphyseal plate seen in adult bones
medullary cavity
cavity inside diaphysis lined by endosteum contains yellow marrow in adults contains red marrow in infants highly vascular
microscopic anatomy of bone
osteon central canal lamellae lacunae nutrient foramen perforating canal canaliculi
osteon
funtional unit of compact bone containing central canal and matrix rings
central canal
opening in the center of an osteon carries blood vessels and nerves
lamellae
rings around the central canal
lacunae
cavities containing osteocytes between lamellae
nutrient foramen
on surface of bone where blood vessels enter and leave
perforating canal
canal perpendicular to the central canal carries blood vessels and nerves
canaliculi
tiny canals radiate from central canal to lacunae form transparent system connecting all bone cells to nutrient supply
Bone formation
ossification intramembranous ossification endochondral ossification bone growth appositional growth
ossification
bone formation calicification of bone
intramembranous ossification
begins as fibrous sheet produces flat bones
endochondral ossification
bone develops from hyaline cartilage model six weeks fetal development to early 20s most bones develop this way
bone growth
epiphyseal plates allow for longitudinal growth of long bones during childhood new cartilage is continuously formed older cartilage becomes ossified epiphyseal plate ossifys then growth stops
appositional growth
process by which bones grow in diameter
bone remodeling
process of reabsorption and depostion that occurs throughout life 3-5percent annually
remodeling factors
blood calcium level pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton
cells involved in remodeling
osteoclasts secure substances that break down calcified extracellular matrix Acids dissolve inorganic components Lysosomal enzymes digest organic components Osteoblasts secrete new bone
types of bone cells
osteocyte mature bone cells osteoblast bone forming cells osteoclasts bone destroying cells
Axial skeleton
forms longitudinal axis of the body support head neck and trunk 3 parts
parts of axial skeleton
Skull and hyoid vertebral column ribs and sternum
