Functions of Bones
• Support the body
• Protect soft organs
• Skull and vertebrae for brain and spinal cord
• Rib cage for thoracic cavity organs
• Allow movement due to attached skeletal muscles
• Store minerals and fats
• Calcium and phosphorus
• Fat in the internal marrow cavity
• Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)

Bones of the Human Body
•The adult skeleton has 206 bones
•Two basic types of bone tissue
•Compact bone
•Homogeneous
•Spongy bone

Anatomy of a Long Bone
•Marrow (medullary) cavity
•Cavity inside of the shaft
•Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults
•Contains red marrow for blood cell formation in infants
• In adults, red marrow is situated in cavities of spongy bone and epiphyses of some long bones
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Bone Markings
• Surface features of bones
• Sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and ligaments
• Passages for nerves and blood vessels
• Categories of bone markings
• Projections or processes—grow out from the bone surface
• Terms often begin with “T”
• Depressions or cavities—indentations
• Terms often begin with “F”

Microscopic Anatomy of Compact Bone
•Osteon (Haversian system)•A unit of bone containing central canal and matrix rings
•Central (Haversian) canal•Opening in the center of an osteon•Carries blood vessels and nerves
•Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal•Canal perpendicular to the central canal•Carries blood vessels and nerves

Formation of the Human Skeleton
• In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline cartilage
•During development, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone
•Cartilage remains in isolated areas
•Bridge of the nose
•Parts of ribs
•Joints
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Bone Growth (Ossification)
•Epiphyseal plates allow for lengthwise growth of long bones during childhood
•New cartilage is continuously formed
•Older cartilage becomes ossified
•Cartilage is broken down
•Enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity
•Bone replaces cartilage through the action of osteoblasts
17
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Bone Growth (Ossification)
•Bones are remodeled and lengthened until growth stops
•Bones are remodeled in response to two factors
•Blood calcium levels
•Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton
•Bones grow in width (called appositional growth)

Types of Bone Cells
•Osteocytes—mature bone cells
•Osteoblasts—bone-forming cells
•Osteoclasts—giant bone-destroying cells
•Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium in response to parathyroid hormone
•Bone remodeling is performed by both osteoblasts and osteoclasts

Bone Fractures
•Fracture—break in a bone•Types of bone fractures
•Closed (simple) fracture—break that does not penetrate the skin
•Open (compound) fracture—broken bone penetrates through the skin
•Bone fractures are treated by reduction and immobilization
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Common Types of Fractures
Table 5.2

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Repair of Bone Fractures
•Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed
•Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus
•Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus
•Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch

Gender Differences of the Pelvis
•The female inlet is larger and more circular
•The female pelvis as a whole is shallower, and the bones are lighter and thinner
•The female ilia flare more laterally
•The female sacrum is shorter and less curved
•The female ischial spines are shorter and farther apart; thus the outlet is larger
•The female pubic arch is more rounded because the angle of the pubic arch is greater

• Sutures• Immobile
• Syndesmoses• Allows more movement than sutures but
still immobile• Example: Distal end of tibia and fibula
• Gomphosis• Immobile

Synovial Joints
•Articulating bones are separated by a joint cavity
•Synovial fluid is found in the joint cavity

Features of Synovial Joints
•Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the ends of bones
•Articular capsule encloses joint surfaces and lined with synovial membrane
•Joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid
•Reinforcing ligaments

Structures Associated with the Synovial Joint
•Bursae—flattened fibrous sacs
•Lined with synovial membranes
•Filled with synovial fluid
•Not actually part of the joint
•Tendon sheath
•Elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon

Inflammatory Conditions Associated with Joints•Bursitis—inflammation of a bursa usually caused by a blow or friction
•Tendonitis—inflammation of tendon sheaths•Arthritis—inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints•Over 100 different types•The most widespread crippling disease in the United States
• Initial symptoms: pain, stiffness, swelling of the joint
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
•Osteoarthritis•Most common chronic arthritis•Probably related to normal aging processes
•Rheumatoid arthritis•An autoimmune disease—the immune system attacks the joints
•Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of certain joints
•Often leads to deformities
63

Clinical Forms of Arthritis
•Gouty arthritis
• Inflammation of joints is caused by a deposition of uric acid crystals from the blood
•Can usually be controlled with diet
•More common in men

Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal System
•At birth, the skull bones are incomplete
•Bones are joined by fibrous membranes called fontanels
•Fontanels are completely replaced with bone within two years after birth

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Fetus
•Long bones are formed of hyaline cartilage
•Flat bones begin as fibrous membranes
•Flat and long bone models are converted to bone
•Birth
•Fontanels remain until around age 2

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Adolescence•Epiphyseal plates become ossified and long bone growth ends
•Size of cranium in relationship to body•2 years old—skull is larger in proportion to the body compared to that of an adult
•8 or 9 years old—skull is near adult size and proportion
•Between ages 6 and 11, the face grows out from the skull

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Curvatures of the spine
•Primary curvatures are present at birth and are convex posteriorly
•Secondary curvatures are associated with a child’s later development and are convex anteriorly
•Abnormal spinal curvatures (scoliosis and lordosis) are often congenital

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Osteoporosis•Bone-thinning disease afflicting
•50 percent of women over age 65 •20 percent of men over age 70
•Disease makes bones fragile and bones can easily fracture
•Vertebral collapse results in kyphosis (also known as dowager’s hump)
•Estrogen aids in health and normal density of a female skeleton
