1 6 Bones and Skeletal Tissues Cartilage Location and basic structure Found throughout adult body Ear and epiglottis Articular cartilages and costal cartilage Larynx, trachea, and nose Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and articular discs Cartilage Is surrounded by perichondrium Consists primarily of water Resilient tissue it springs back to original shape Types of Cartilage Hyaline cartilage (glassy) Most abundant cartilage Provides support through flexibility Elastic cartilage contains many elastic fibers Able to tolerate repeated bending Fibrocartilage resists strong compression and strong tension An intermediate between hyaline and elastic cartilage Cartilages in the Adult Body Growth of Cartilage Appositional growth Chondroblasts in surrounding perichondrium produce new cartilage Interstitial growth Chondrocytes within cartilage divide and secrete new matrix Cartilage stops growing when the skeleton stops growing

2 Tissues in Bone Bones contain several types of tissues Dominated by bone CT Contain nervous tissue and blood CT Contain cartilage in articular cartilages Contain ET lining blood vessels Function of Bones Support provides hard framework Movement skeletal muscles use bones as levers Protection of underlying organs Mineral storage reservoir for important minerals Blood-cell formation bone contains red marrow Energy metabolism osteoblasts secrete osteocalcin Bone Tissue Bone tissue Organic components cells, fibers, and ground substance Inorganic components mineral salts that invade bony matrix Extracellular Matrix Unique composition of matrix Gives bone exceptional properties 35% organic components Contributes to flexibility and tensile strength 65% inorganic components Provide exceptional harness, resists compression Cells Three types of cells in bone produces or maintain bone Osteogenic cells stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts Osteoblasts actively produce and secrete bone matrix Bone matrix is osteoid Osteocytes keep bone matrix healthy Cells Osteoclasts Responsible for resorption of bone Are derived from a line of white blood cells Secrete hydrochloric acid and lysosomal enzymes

3 Classification of Bones Long bones longer than wide; a shaft plus ends Short bones roughly cube-shaped Flat bones thin and flattened, usually curved Irregular bones various shapes, do not fit into other categories Gross Anatomy of Bones Compact bone dense outer layer of bone Spongy (cancellous) bone internal network of bone Structure of a Typical Long Bone Diaphysis shaft of a bone Epiphysis ends of a bone Blood vessels well vascularized Medullary cavity hollow cavity filled with yellow marrow Membranes Periosteum, perforating fibers (Sharpey s fibers), and endosteum Structure of a Long Bone Structure of Short, Irregular, and Flat Bones Flat bones, short bones, and irregular bones Contain bone marrow but no marrow cavity Diploë Internal spongy bone of flat bones Gross Anatomy of Bones Bone design and stress Anatomy of a bone reflects stresses Compression and tension greatest at external surfaces Bone Markings Superficial surfaces of bones reflect stresses on them There are three broad categories of bone markings Projections for muscle attachment Surfaces that form joints Depressions and openings Microscopic Structure of Compact Bones

4 Compact Bone Contains passage ways for blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves Osteons long cylindrical structures Function in support Structurally resembles rings of a tree in cross-section Microscopic Structure of Compact Bones Osteons contain: Lamellae Central canal Perforating canals Canaliculi Microscopic Structure of Compact Bones Spongy Bone Is less complex than compact bone Trabeculae contain layers of lamellae and osteocytes Are too small to contain osteons 6 Bones and Skeletal Tissues Bone Development Ossification (osteogenesis) bone-tissue formation Membrane bones formed directly from mesenchyme Intramembranous ossification Other bones develop initially from hyaline cartilage Endochondral ossification Intramembranous Ossification Endochondral Ossification All bones except some bones of the skull and clavicles Bones are modeled in hyaline cartilage Begins forming late in the second month of embryonic development

5 Continues forming until early adulthood Stages in Endochondral Ossification Anatomy of Epiphyseal Growth Areas In epiphyseal plates of growing bones: Cartilage is organized for quick, efficient growth Cartilage cells form tall stacks Chondroblasts at the top of stacks divide quickly Pushes the epiphysis away from the diaphysis Lengthens entire long bone Anatomy of Epiphyseal Growth Areas Older chondrocytes signal surrounding matrix to calcify Older chondrocytes then die and disintegrate Leaves long trabeculae (spicules) of calcified cartilage on diaphysis side Trabeculae are partly eroded by osteoclasts Osteoblasts then cover trabeculae with bone tissue Trabeculae finally eaten away from their tips by osteoclasts Organization of Cartilage within Epiphyseal Plate of Growing Long Bone Postnatal Growth of Endochondral Bones During childhood and adolescence: Bones lengthen entirely by growth of the epiphyseal plates Cartilage is replaced with bone CT as quickly as it grows Epiphyseal plate maintains constant thickness Whole bone lengthens Hormonal Regulation of Bone Growth Growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland Stimulates epiphyseal plates Thyroid hormone ensures that the skeleton retains proper proportions Sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) Promote bone growth Later induces closure of epiphyseal plates

6 Postnatal Growth of Endochondral Bones As adolescence draws to an end: Chondroblasts divide less often Epiphyseal plates become thinner Cartilage stops growing Replaced by bone tissue Long bones stop lengthening when diaphysis and epiphysis fuse Bone Remodeling Bone is dynamic living tissue 500 mg of calcium may enter or leave the adult skeleton each day Cancellous bone of the skeleton is replaced every 3 4 years Compact bone is replaced every 10 years Postnatal Growth of Endochondral Bones Growing bones widen as they lengthen Osteoblasts add bone tissue to the external surface of the diaphysis Osteoclasts remove bone from the internal surface of the diaphysis Appositional growth growth of a bone by addition of bone tissue to its surface Bone Remodeling Bone deposit and removal Occurs at periosteal and endosteal surfaces Bone remodeling Bone deposition accomplished by osteoblasts Bone reabsorption accomplished by osteoclasts Remodeling, Spongy Bone Osteoclast A Bone-Degrading Cell A giant cell with many nuclei Crawls along bone surfaces Breaks down bone tissue Secretes concentrated HCl Lysosomal enzymes are released

7 Derived from hematopoietic stem cells Repair of Bone Fractures Simple and compound fractures Treatment by reduction Closed reduction Open reduction Stages of Healing a Fracture Common Types of Fractures Disorders of Bones Osteoporosis Characterized by low bone mass Bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposition Occurs most often in women after menopause Osteoporosis Disorders of Bones Osteomalacia Occurs in adults bones are inadequately mineralized Rickets Occurs in children analogous to osteomalacia Disorders of Bones Paget s disease Characterized by excessive rate of bone deposition Osteosarcoma A form of bone cancer The Skeleton Throughout Life Cartilage grows quickly in youth Skeleton shows fewer chondrocytes in the elderly Bones are a timetable Mesoderm Gives rise to embryonic mesenchyme cells Mesenchyme Produces membranes and cartilage Membranes and cartilage ossify

8 The Skeleton Throughout Life Skeleton grows until the age of years In children and adolescents, bone formation exceeds rate of bone reabsorption In young adults, bone formation and bone reabsorption are in balance In old age, reabsorption predominates Bone mass declines with age 7 Bones, Part 1: The Axial Skeleton The Skeleton Consists of: Bones, cartilage, joints, and ligaments Composed of 206 named bones grouped into two divisions Axial skeleton (80 bones) Appendicular skeleton (126 bones) The Axial Skeleton Formed from 80 named bones Consists of skull, vertebral column, and bony thorax The Axial Skeleton The Skull Formed by cranial and facial bones The Cranium Is the body s most complex bony structure Formed by cranial and facial bones The cranium Encloses and protects brain Provides attachment for head and neck muscles The Face Facial bones serve to
