Functions and Structure of Bones

This text explores the five functions of bones (support, protection, movement, storage, blood cell formation), the classification of bones by shape, bone textures, and the chemical composition of bone. It also covers bone formation, growth, and remodeling, including hormonal control and the response to mechanical stress. Additionally, it discusses homeostatic imbalances, such as osteoporosis. The text concludes with an overview of the axial and appendicular skeleton.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Ch. 5 The skeletal system

  2. Five Functions of Bones • Support • For the body and soft organs • Protection • For brain, spinal cord, and vital organs • Movement • Levers for muscle action

  3. Functions of Bones • Storage • Minerals (calcium and phosphorus) and growth factors; Triglyceride (energy) storage in bone cavities • Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis) in marrow cavities

  4. Classification of Bones by Shape • Long bones • Longer than they are wide • All limb bones except carpals and tarsals, patella • Short bones • Cube-shaped bones (in wrist and ankle) • Sesamoid bones (within tendons, e.g., patella)

  5. Classification of Bones by Shape • Flat bones • Thin, flat, slightly curved • Examples: Sternum, scapulae, ribs most skull bones • Irregular bones • Complicated shapes • Examples: coxal, vertebrae

  6. Figure 6.2

  7. Bone Textures • Compact bone • Dense outer layer of bone • Composed of osteons • Spongy bone • Internal to compact bone & composed of trabeculae • No osteons • Spaces between trabeculae are filled with bone marrow

  8. Membranes of Bone • Periosteum • Surrounds entire outer surface of compact bone, except joint surfaces • Contains: Osteoblasts and osteoclasts • Secured to compact bone by Sharpey’s fibers • Endosteum • Lines internal surfaces of bone and also contains osteoblasts and osteoclasts

  9. Structure of a Long Bone • Diaphysis (shaft) • Compact bone collar surrounds medullary (marrow) cavity

  10. Structure of a Long Bone • Epiphyses • Expanded ends • Spongy bone interior • Epiphyseal line (remnant of growth plate) • Articular (hyaline) cartilage on joint surfaces

  11. Articular cartilage Compact bone Proximal epiphysis Spongy bone Epiphyseal line Periosteum Compact bone Medullary cavity (lined by endosteum) (b) Diaphysis Distal epiphysis (a) Figure 6.3a-b

  12. Structure of Short, Irregular, and Flat Bones • Endosteum covered spongy bone surrounded/sandwiched by compact bone covered in periosteum

  13. Spongy bone (diploë) Compact bone Trabeculae Figure 6.5

  14. Chemical Composition of Bone: Organic • Bone cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts) • Osteoid—organic bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts

  15. Chemical Composition of Bone: Inorganic • Hydroxyapatites (mineral salts) • 65% of bone by mass • Mainly calcium phosphate crystals • Responsible for hardness and resistance to compression

  16. Bone Formation, Growth and Remodeling • Ossification- bone tissue formation • Stages • Bone formation—begins in the 2nd month of development • Postnatal bone growth—until early adulthood • Interstitial ( in length of long bones)and appositional ( in bone width & continues after adulthood) • Bone remodeling and repair—lifelong

Cartilage in thecenter of thediaphysis calcifiesand then developscavities. The periostealbud inavades theinternal cavitiesand spongy bonebegins to form. The diaphysis elongatesand a medullary cavityforms as ossificationcontinues. Secondaryossification centers appearin the epiphyses inpreparation for stage 5. The epiphysesossify. Whencompleted, hyalinecartilage remains onlyin the epiphysealplates and articularcartilages.

  18. Control of Remodeling • What controls continual remodeling of bone? • Hormonal mechanisms that maintain calcium homeostasis in the blood • Mechanical and gravitational forces

  19. Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+ • Primarily controlled by parathyroid hormone (PTH)  Blood Ca2+ levels  Parathyroid glands release PTH  PTH stimulates osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix and release Ca2+   Blood Ca2+ levels

  20. Calcium homeostasis of blood: 9–11 mg/100 ml BALANCE BALANCE Stimulus Falling blood Ca2+ levels Thyroid gland Osteoclasts degrade bone matrix and release Ca2+ into blood. Parathyroid glands Parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH

  21. Response to Mechanical Stress • Curved bones are thickest where they are most likely to buckle • Trabeculae form along lines of stress • Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach

  23. Homeostatic Imbalances • Read about Osteoporosis and focus on its risk factors, symptoms and characteristics

  25. The skeleton

  26. The Skeleton • Two Major Divisions of the Skeletal System: Axial and Appendicular • The Axial Skeleton Includes Three Regions: • Skull and associated bones (aud. ossicles and hyoid) • Vertebral column • Thoracic cage
