Bone Cells
Types of Bone Cells Osteoblasts Immature bone cells Responsible for bone formation by secreting a matrix of organic compounds and mineral salts. Controlled by the level of Calcitonin hormone which promotes calcium to be deposited into the bone.
Types of Bone Cells Osteocytes Mature bone cells enclosed in tiny capsules called lucanae the principle cells of bone tissue Maintain cellular activities of bone tissue, but don t carry out mitosis. these form rings called lamella around a HAVERSIAN CANAL which houses blood vessels CANALICULI - tiny canals that link osteocytes
Types of Bone Cells Osteoclasts Cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium from the bones (erodes the bones) controlled by the Parathyroid hormone. Important in the dev., growth, maintenance and repair of bone tissue. Help to maintain blood calcium levels
Functions of the Skeletal System Support and protection of vital organs (Framework and muscle attachment.) Movement Facilitation Hematopoiesis: blood cell formation occurs in bone marrow Mineral Storage (salt, calcium, potassium.) Energy Storage
Organization About 206 bones in adults. Two Main Divisions: Axial & Appendicular
Axial Skeleton Head, neck, trunk Skull Hyoid Bone Vertebral Column Thoracic Cage (ribs, 12 pairs) Sternum
Hyoid Bone
Appendicular Skeleton Limbs & Bones that connect to the: Pectoral Girdle (scapula, clavicle, arms) Pelvic Girdle (coxal bones, legs)

Written Response #3 1. If the articular cartilage at the end of one of your long bones were to degenerate, what symptoms do you think you would experience? Why? 2. In what ways is the structural makeup of compact and spongy bone well suited to their respective functions? 3. In what ways do intramembranous and endochondral ossification differ? 4. Considering how a long bone develops, what are the similarities and differences between a primary and a secondary ossification center?
Bone Structure Long Bone 1. Epiphysis (end) 2. Diaphysis (shaft) 3. Articular Cartilage (hyaline cartilage, padding) 4. Periosteum (membrane that covers entire bone)
Inside the Long Bone 5. Medullary Cavity hollow chamber filled with bone marrow Red Marrow (blood) Yellow Marrow (fat) Endosteum lining of the medullary
Types of Bone Tissue Compact (wall of the diaphysis) Spongy (cancellous, epiphysis) - red marrow

Ossification & Bone Growth The process by which bones form in the body by replacing pre-existing connective tissue with bone. This occurs during bone development There are two types of bone growth: Intramembraneous bone growth Occurs in the skull Osteoblasts form osteocytes Endochondral bone growth Occurs in skeletal bones; also occurs in the growth plates of long bones. Hyaline cartilage turns to bone
Intramembranous Ossification
Endochondral Ossification
Bone Development & Growth 1. Bones first form as hyaline cartilage. 2. The cartilage then gradually changes into bone tissue - a process called OSSIFICATION PRIMARY OSSIFICATION CENTER (shaft) SECONDARY OSSIFICATION CENTER (ends)
Bone Development & Growth Epiphyseal disk (growth plate) is a band of cartilage between the epiphysis and diaphysis These areas increase bone length as the cells ossify
Resorption Osteoclasts - dissolve bone tissue to release minerals, process is called RESORPTION

Types of Joints (Articulations) Synarthrotic (not moveable, aka sutures) Amphiarthrotic (slightly moveable, vertebrae) Diarthrotic (moveable joint, aka synovial joints)
Synovial Fluid Synovial fluid: fluid within the joints that helps to lubricate Types of Joints: 1. Ball and Socket 2. Hinge 3. Pivot 4. Saddle
Tendons and Ligaments Tendons: connect muscle to bone A band or cord of dense fibrous connective tissue extending from a muscle to a bone for attachment Ligaments: connect bone to bone A band or cord of dense fibrous connective tissue extending from one bone to another bone to provide a joint with structural stability
ACL Surgery ACL = anterior cruciate ligament PCL = poster cruciate ligament MCL = medial collateral ligament LCL = lateral collateral ligament

Sphenoid Bone Named for its shape - a butterfly!
Sutures Suture - refers to any connection between large bones (in fetal skulls, these are called fontanels) Fissure - any wide gap between bones
Sutures: Connection Points 1. Coronal - between frontal and parietal bones 2. Lambdoidal - between occipital and parietal bones 3. Squamosal - between temporal and parietal bones 4. Sagittal - between parietal bones
Fontanels are soft spots on an infant s skull
Topography of the Skull Foramen - refers to any opening in the skull, nerves and blood vessels leave this opening to supply the face Foramen Magnum Mental Foramen

Broken Bones
Bone Disorders 1. Bone spurs (osteophytes) occur when the body grows small projections on the edges of bones
2. Plantar fasciitis common cause of heel pain. inflammation of the plantar fascia walking can be painful
3. OSTEOPOROSIS Increased activity of osteoclasts cause a break down bone, bones become more fragile The spongy bone especially becomes more porous.
You Tube video called Osteoporosis can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uaxx5gvgri&feature=related Causes of Osteoporosis 1. Lack of exercise 2. Poor diet 3. Genetics 4. Ethnicity 5. Gender
Why do older people break their hips? A femoral neck fracture is common among older adults and can be related to osteoporosis. This type of fracture may cause a complication because the break usually cuts off the blood supply to the head of the femur.

4. Rheumatoid arthritis an autoimmune disease which causes joint stiffness and bone deformity Source: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/article3233439.ece
4. Rickets This preventable bone disease affects young children and is caused by a deficiency of the nutrient vitamin D. Rickets causes weak, brittle bones that fracture easily and bone and muscle pain.

Abnormalities of the Spine ANKYLOSIS is severe arthritis in the spine and the vertebrae fuse. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive: soft tissue regrows as bone. Sufferers are slowly imprisoned by their own skeletons
Herniated Discs (Slipped Discs) Rupture of the fibrocartilage discs Usually caused by compression forces Usually occurs between L4 and L5 or L5 and the 1st Sacral Vertebrae Disc protrudes and exerts pressure on spinal nerves To decrease risk of herniated discs: 1. maintain optimal body weight 2. strengthen abdominal muscles 3. increase lower back flexibility

Fun Facts About Bones Bone is made of the same type of minerals as limestone. Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have only 206 in our bodies. The giraffe has the same number of bones in its neck as a human: seven in total. The long horned ram can take a head butt at 25 mph. The human skull will fracture at 5 mph.
Male Vs Female Skeletal Structure Male Pelvic cavity narrower and less roomier. Coccyx less movable Sacrum long, narrower with concavity. Larger joint surfaces Smaller pelvic arch. Pelvic heavy and thick. Female Pelvic cavity wider, deeper. Coccyx more movable. Sacrum short, wide nearly flat with forward curvature in lower part. Pelvic light and thin. Smaller joint surfaces. Pelvic arch wider than males.
