The Skeletal System

• Parts of the skeletal system– Bones (skeleton)– Joints– Cartilages– Ligaments ( connective

tissue that joins two bones)

• Divided into two divisions– Axial skeleton– Appendicular skeleton

Page 3: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Functions of Bones• Support of the body

– Framework to support and anchor delicate organs

– legs support the entire body when we stand

– Ribs support thoracic cavity’s wall

• Protection of soft organs– Skull protects brain– Ribcage protects lungs

and heart– Pelvis protects

reproductive organs

Functions of Bones• Movement due to attached

skeletal muscles– Muscles attach to the bones

by tendons– Helps in the movement of the

body

• Storage of minerals and fats– Stores calcium and phosphate

• Calcium stored is used in muscle contraction

– Stores fat in the bone marrow

• Blood cell formation– Bone marrow is the site for the

synthesis of• red blood cells• White blood cells

Bone Tissues Two basic types of bone tissue

Compact bone Homogeneous found in long bones

Spongy bone Small needle-like

pieces of bone Many open spaces found in short, irregular bones

Page 6: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape

• The adult skeleton has 206 bones

• Based on the shape they are of 4 types– Long bones– Short bones– Flat bones– Irregular bones

Page 7: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

• Long bones– Typically longer than wide– Have a shaft with heads at

both ends– Contain mostly compact

bone• Examples: Femur,

humerus

• Short bones– Generally cube-shaped– Contain mostly spongy

bone• Examples: Carpals,

tarsals

Page 8: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

• Flat bones– Thin and flattened– Usually curved– Sandwich of spongy bone

between two layers of compact bone

• Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum

• Irregular bones– Irregular shape

• Example: Vertebrae and hip

Page 9: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Gross Anatomy of a Long Bone

• Diaphysis– Shaft that makes length of the bone– Composed of compact bone

• Periosteum– Outside covering of the diaphysis– Made up of Fibrous connective tissue

• Medullary cavity– Cavity of the shaft– Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat)

in adults– Contains red marrow (for blood cell

formation) in infants

Page 10: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

• Sharpey’s fibers– Also known as perforating

fibers– Made of several Connective

tissue fibers– Help secure periosteum to

underlying bone

• Arteries– Supply bone cells with

nutrients– Also facilitates the repair of

bones on injury

Page 11: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

• Epiphysis – Ends of the bone– Composed mostly of spongy bone

• Articular cartilage– Covers the external surface of the

epiphyses– Made of hyaline cartilage– Soft, slimy and smooth in texture– Decreases friction at joint

surfaces

• Epiphyseal line: – Bony line that separates the

epiphysis from diaphysis– Seen in adult– Remnant of epiphyseal plate– location for bone growth in length

during development • made of hyaline cartilage

Page 12: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Bone Markings• Surface features of bones• Appear as bumps, holes, projections• Sites of attachments for muscles,

tendons, and ligaments• Passages for nerves and blood

vessels• Categories of bone markings

– Projections and processes – grow out from the bone surface: tuberosity, tubercle, trochanter

– Depressions or cavities – indentations

• Foraman: an oval opening

Page 13: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Microscopic Anatomy of a compact Bone• Very organized structures made of

several units. Each unit is called• Osteon (Haversian System)

– A functional unit of bone consisting of

• Central (Haversian) canal– Opening in the center of an

osteon– Carries blood vessels and

nerves

• Perforating (Volkman’s) canal– Canal perpendicular to the

central canal– Carries blood vessels and

nerves

Page 14: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

• Lamellae– Rings around the central canal– Sites of lacunae

• Lacunae– Cavities containing bone cells

(osteocytes)– Arranged in concentric rings

• Canaliculi – Tiny canals– Radiate from the central canal to

lacunae– Form a transport system connecting

all bone cells to a nutrient supply • Bone’s

– hardness is the result of calcium salts

– Flexibility and ability to resist tension is provided by collagen fibers

Page 15: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Bone formation, growth and remodeling• In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline cartilage• During development, much of this cartilage is replaced by bone• Process of bone formation is called ossification• Cartilage remains in isolated areas such as

– Bridge of the nose– Parts of ribs– Joints

Page 16: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Bone Growth• Epiphyseal plates allow for

growth of long bone during childhood– New cartilage is continuously

formed– Older cartilage becomes

ossified• Bone replaces cartilage

• In the adult bone grows in diameter

• It is appositional growth

Page 17: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Types of Bone Cells• Osteoblasts

– Bone-forming cells• Osteocytes

– Mature bone cells• Osteoclasts

– Bone-destroying cells– Break down bone matrix for

remodeling and release of calcium

• Bone Remodeling: Old bone is replaced with new bone

• Osteoclasts remove old bone and osteoblast forms new bone

• Regulated by nutrition, hormones

Page 18: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Rickets

• Lack of Calcium

• Lack of Vitamin D

• Soft bones

• Diagnosis: bowed feet

Page 19: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Bone Fractures

• A break in a bone: brittle bones, falls, injuries,

• Types of bone fractures– Closed (simple) fracture – break that does not

penetrate the skin• Immobilization: Cast

– Open (compound) fracture – broken bone penetrates through the skin

• Surgery to put the pieces back together by pins or wires

• It takes about 6-8 weeks to heal a simple fracture

Page 20: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Common Types of Fractures

Page 21: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Steps: Repair of Bone Fractures• Hematoma forms: Blood vessels are ruptured, Hematoma (blood-

filled swelling) forms, blood cells die due to lack of nutrients• Fibrocartilage Callus: Is mass of connective tissue that forms at a

fracture site and connects the broken ends of the bone• Bony Callus: Callus is replaced by a bony callus with the help of

osteoblasts and osteoclasts• Bony callus is remodeled to form a bone

• Fibrous joints

• Bones are joined by fibrous tissues

• Immovable joints • Located in the skull between

cranial and facial bones

• except mandible which forms a movable joint.

• The sutures are jagged rather than straight.

• e.g. Sagittal suture joins the two parietal bones.

• Coronal suture joins the frontal bone with the parietal bone.

Page 59: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Cartilageous joints• Immovable or slightly

moveable

• allows limited motion in response to compression , twisting or stress.

• e.g. between ribs and sternum is united by

hyaline cartilage,

• fibrous cartilage in intervertebral discs

Page 60: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Freely moveable

Allow considerable movement between bones

Most joints that unite bones of appendicular skeleton are synovial joints

Articulaing bones are covered by articular cartilage, provides smooth surface for articulation

Joint surfaces are enclosed by joint capsule, lined by synovial membrane which encloses joint cavity

Which contains synovial fluid

Page 61: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

In some synovial joints, such as shoulder, knee, synovial membrane extends as a pocket or sac called Bursae, which provides cushion between structures

Page 62: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

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

Clinical Forms of Arthritis

• Arthritis – inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints– Over 100 different types– The most widespread

crippling disease in the United States

– Osteoarthritis• Most common chronic

arthritis• Probably related to normal

aging processes

Page 68: The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system –Bones (skeleton) –Joints –Cartilages –Ligaments ( connective tissue that joins two bones) Divided into.

Clinical Forms of Arthritis– Rheumatoid arthritis

• An autoimmune disease – the immune system attacks the joints

• Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of certain joints

• Often leads to deformities

– Gouty Arthritis• Inflammation of joints is

caused by a deposition of urate crystals from the blood

• Can usually be controlled with diet

Diseases of bones

• Osteoporosis:• Bones become porous• Seen in women more

commonly• Strikes after menopause• Leading cause of bone

fractures in older women
