An Introduction to the Axial Skeleton

Structures of Bones

ArticulationsContacts with other bones

Landmarks (Bone Markings; Marks)Areas of muscle and ligament attachment

ForaminaOpenings for nerves and blood vessels

Classification of BonesBones are classified by

Shape

Internal tissue organization

Bone markings (surface features; marks)

Classification of Bones

Figure 6–1 A Classification of Bones by Shape.

Classification of BonesBone Shapes

Long bonesAre long and thinAre found in arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes

Flat bonesAre thin with parallel surfacesAre found in the skull, sternum, ribs, and scapulae

Sutural bonesAre small, irregular bonesAre found between the flat bones of the skull

Classification of BonesBone Shapes

Irregular bonesHave complex shapes Examples: spinal vertebrae, pelvic bones

Short bonesAre small and thickExamples: ankle and wrist bones

Sesamoid bonesAre small and flatDevelop inside tendons near joints of knees, hands, and

feet

Classification of BonesBone Markings

Depressions or groovesAlong bone surface

ProjectionsWhere tendons and ligaments attach

At articulations with other bones

TunnelsWhere blood and nerves enter bone

Classification of BonesStructure of a Long Bone

Diaphysis The shaft A heavy wall of compact bone, or dense boneA central space called medullary (marrow) cavity

Epiphysis Wide part at each endArticulation with other bonesMostly spongy (cancellous) bone Covered with compact bone (cortex)

Metaphysis Where diaphysis and epiphysis meet


Figure 6–2 Bone Structure.

Classification of BonesStructure of a Flat Bone

The parietal bone of the skull

Resembles a sandwich of spongy bone

Between two layers of compact bone

Within the cranium, the layer of spongy bone

between the compact bone is called the diploë


Figure 6–2 Bone Structure.

Compact and Spongy BoneThe 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

Circumferential LamellaeLamellae wrapped around the long bone

Bind osteons together

Compact and Spongy Bone

Figure 6–4 The Histology of Compact Bone.


Figure 6–5a The Structure of Compact Bone.

Compact and Spongy BoneThe Structure of Spongy Bone

Does not have osteonsThe matrix forms an open network of

trabeculaeTrabeculae have no blood vesselsThe space between trabeculae is filled with red

bone marrow:Which has blood vesselsForms red blood cellsAnd supplies nutrients to osteocytes

Yellow marrowIn some bones, spongy bone holds yellow bone marrowIs yellow because it stores fat


Figure 6–6 The Structure of Spongy Bone.

Compact and Spongy BoneWeight-Bearing Bones

The femur transfers weight from hip joint to

knee joint

Causing tension on the lateral side of the shaft

And compression on the medial side


Figure 6–7 The Distribution of Forces on a Long Bone.

Compact and Spongy BoneCompact bone is covered with a

membranePeriosteum on the outside

Covers all bones except parts enclosed in joint capsulesIs made up of an outer, fibrous layer and an inner,

cellular layerPerforating fibers: collagen fibers of the periosteum:

connect with collagen fibers in boneand with fibers of joint capsules; attach

tendons, and ligaments


Figure 6–8a The Periosteum.

Compact and Spongy BoneFunctions of Periosteum

Isolates bone from surrounding tissues

Provides a route for circulatory and nervous

supply

Participates in bone growth and repair

Compact and Spongy BoneCompact bone is covered with a

membrane:Endosteum on the inside

An incomplete cellular layer:

lines the medullary (marrow) cavitycovers trabeculae of spongy bonelines central canalscontains osteoblasts, osteoprogenitor cells,

and osteoclastsis active in bone growth and repair
