Ch. 6: Bone & Skeletal TissueSkeletal system includes bone & cartilageSkeletal Cartilages
Structure, types, locationsAll types of sk cart have chondros, extracell mtx, fibersHyaline c
most common, flexible, resilient, contain fine collagen fibersArticular, costal, respiratory (vb), nasal (ext nose)
Elastic clike hyaline; more elastic fibers; tolerate repeated bending; epigolttis, ext ear
FibrocartCross between hyal cart (chondros) & dense reg conn tiss (thick coll fibers); high tensile strengthResist high pressure & stretchMenisci in knees, intervert discs
GrowthAppositional; Interstitial

Ch. 6: Bone & Skeletal TissueBone Structure
Gross AnatomyBone Markings – See Table 6.1Texture
Compact (lamellar): dense outer layer, naked eye smoothSpongy (cancellous): trabeculae, red or yellow marrow
Typical long bone structureDiaphysis: compact bone collar over marrow-filled medullary cavityEpiphyses: bone ends, compact over spongy, articular (hyaline) cartilage;
epiphyseal line (remnant of epiphyseal plate)Membranes: periosteum, endosteum, osteoblasts/clasts
Short, irregular, flat bone structureCompact over spongy; no marrow cavity
Hematopoetic tissue (red marrow): Trabecular parts of long bones (esp. heads of femur, humerus in adult) &
flat bones

Cell types: osteogenic, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclastsCompact bone
Microscopic passageways; osteons (Haversian systems)Multiple lamellae per osteon; alternating collagen fiber orient’nCentral canal; osteocytes btn lamellae
Spongy boneTrabeculae align with stress; no osteons
Chemical Composition (skeleton = 14-17% of total adult body weight i.e. ~ 10 kg)
OrganicCells & osteoid (ground substance & collagen fibers)
Inorganic (2/3 of skeleton weight – Trotter & Peterson, J Bone Jt Surg Am 1962)
Hydroxyapatite crystals (mainly calcium phosphate) (40% of hydroxyapatite is Ca; total body Ca ~ 2.5 – 3 kg for normal 70 kg person)

Bone architecture(a) macroscopic bone,(b) osteons with circular arrangements of differently oriented collagen fibers. (c) collagen fiber = bundles of collagen fibrils. (d) collagen fibril = staggered arrangement of collagen molecules with embedded mineral crystals (blue). (e) collagen molecule triple helix.Collagen: tensile and bending strength.Hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate): compressive strength
Reinforced concrete “Rebar” (steel reinforcing bars): tensile
and bending strength. Concrete:compressive strength.

In response to mechanical stressBone strongest where stress acts
Long bone hollow ctr; shaft thickest at middleCurved bones thickest where most likely to breakSpongy bone trabeculae line up along stress linesProjections (tuberosity, crest,…) where muscles attach

RepairClassification of fractures
Bone end positions: displaced or nondisplacedComplete or incompleteOrientation: linear (long axis) or transverseSkin penetration: open (compund) or closed (simple)By nature, location of break – see Table 6.2
Repair process – see Fig 6.15

Radiograph Showing a Subtrochanteric Stress Fracture. Kwek et al., NEJM 359:316, 2008.
Not the most common site for stress fracture. Common stress fracture sites: tibia (runners), metatarsals (dancers, skaters), fibula…) From article about possible increase in fracture risk in patients on bisphosphonates (osteoporosis drugs). See also JAMA 305: 783-789, 2011.Some data suggests that the risk of rare fractures is a lot higher after 6-8 years on bisphosphonates than after 2 yrs; some suggest a bisphosphonate holiday after 5 yrs (NYT 2011-03-06).
A current debate: Do some osteoporosis drugs increase the rate of “rare” fractures?

OsteomalachiaFailure to mineralize; weak bonesRickets in childrenDue to Ca deficiency, maybe secondary to vit D deficiency

Hip Fractures
• 300,000 hip fractures annually in US• Majority related to osteoporosis and falls in older people• Enormous public health implications and economic burden• A top cause of immobilization in elderly• Patients who have sustained a hip fracture
• 2-year mortality rate of 36%
• Immobility → increased bone resorption, predisposition to 2nd hip fracture
• Many don’t regain prefracture level of mobility; lose independence, QOL
• Risk of subsequent skeletal fracture up 2.5x
• Risk of new hip fracture up 5x – 10x

Vitamin D essential for absorption of Ca from gut; it also helps other cells including muscle cells use Ca. Many of us with a “normal” diet and occasional outdoor time are vitamin D deficient and we may benefit from more D.
Vitamin D Status and Its Relation to Muscle Mass and Muscle Fat in Young Women. 59% of sample (16-22 yo ♀ in Calif) had insufficient 25OH-D (<30 ng/ml), including 24% who were deficient in 25OH-D (<20 ng/ml) (surprisingly large %). Vitamin D insufficiency was associated with increased fat infiltration in muscle. Gilsanz, …, Kremer. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2010; DOI: 10.1210/jc.2009-2309

NY Times Sep 1 2009Does ibuprofen help or hurt during exercise?http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/01/phys-ed-does-ibuprofen-help-or-hurt-during-exercise/
Many athletes regularly take ibuprofen. Article describes increasing evidence that "vitamin I" has negative side effects including blunted growth response of bone to applied stress, decreased post-workout collagen production, etc. One scientist wrote recently in Brit J Sports Med that regular ibuprofen use around the time of exercise diminishes the expected increase in skeletal strength that otherwise comes from exercise. http://bjsm.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/43/8/548
