6-2 Classification of Bones Structure of a Long Bone Diaphysis The shaft A heavy wall of compact bone, or dense bone A central space called medullary (marrow) cavity Epiphysis Wide part at each end Articulation with other bones Mostly spongy (cancellous) bone Covered with compact bone (cortex) Metaphysis Where diaphysis and epiphysis meet

6-3 Bone (Osseous) Tissue Bone (Osseous) Tissue Dense, supportive connective tissue Contains specialized cells Produces solid matrix of calcium salt deposits Around collagen fibers
6-3 Bone (Osseous) Tissue Characteristics of Bone Tissue Dense matrix, containing: Deposits of calcium salts Osteocytes (bone cells) within lacunae organized around blood vessels Canaliculi Form pathways for blood vessels Exchange nutrients and wastes
6-3 Bone (Osseous) Tissue Characteristics of Bone Tissue Periosteum Covers outer surfaces of bones Consists of outer fibrous and inner cellular layers

6-4 Compact Bone and Spongy Bone The Structure of Compact Bone Osteon is the basic unit Osteocytes are arranged in concentric lamellae Around a central canal containing blood vessels Perforating canals Perpendicular to the central canal Carry blood vessels into bone and marrow

6-3 Bone (Osseous) Tissue Bone Matrix Minerals Two thirds of bone matrix is calcium phosphate, Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 Reacts with calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2 To form crystals of hydroxyapatite, Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 Which incorporates other calcium salts and ions
6-3 Bone Landmarks for Physical examinaiotn Most prominent spinous process is C7/T1. Inferior points of scapulae are at interspace between T7 & T8. Superior margin of each iliac crest crosses L4. Two symmetric dimples overlying posterior superior iliac spine are at level of S2. Coccyx.

NURS1004 Week 6 Lecture Part II Articulations Prepared by Didy Button
An Introduction to Articulations Articulations Body movement occurs at joints (articulations) where two bones connect Joint Structure Determines direction and distance of movement (range of motion or ROM) Joint strength decreases as mobility increases
9-1 Classification of Joints Functional Classifications Synarthrosis (immovable joint) Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable joint) Diarthrosis (freely movable joint)
9-1 Classification of Joints Structural Classifications Fibrous joints. Articulating bones bound tightly together by fibrous connective tissue (sutures, syndesmosis between tibia & fibula, gomphoses). b) Cartilaginous joints. Articulating bones held tightly together by cartilage (synchondroses between rib & sternum, pubic symphysis). c) Synovial joints. Articulating bones have a fluid-filled space between them (gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoidal, saddle, ball & socket).
9-2 Synovial Joints Synovial Fluid (e.g. knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, fingers, toes, jaw) Contains slippery proteoglycans secreted by fibroblasts Functions of synovial fluid 1. Lubrication 2. Nutrient distribution 3. Shock absorption

9-2 Synovial Joints Accessory Structures Cartilages Fat pads Ligaments Tendons Bursae
9-2 Synovial Joints Factors That Stabilize Synovial Joints Prevent injury by limiting range of motion Collagen fibers (joint capsule, ligaments) Articulating surfaces and menisci Other bones, muscles, or fat pads Tendons of articulating bones

Inflammation of the synovial joint Osteoarthritis bony growths (osteophytes) at joints Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterised by chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane leading to deformity, loss of function, pain, swelling, ultimately to joint destruction. Psoriatic arthritis associated with the skin condition psoriasis.
