Functions of Bone • Major Functions: • Protection • Support • Movement • Minor Functions (though no less important!): • Mineral storage • Mineral homeostasis • Hematopoesis
Skeletal Anatomy • Gross Skeletal Anatomy: • Anatomy of Bone:
Types of Bone • Bone Tissue: • Compact • Spongy • Bone Shape: • Long • Flat • Short • Irregular
Types of Bone • Compact Bone: • Dense • Homogenous • Spongy Bone • Composed of small pieces of bone and lots of space
Types of Bone (Labeling) • Long Bone • Flat Bone
Types of Bone • Irregular Bone • Short Bone
Types of Bone (Characteristics) • Long Bone: • Typically longer than they are wide. • Typically have a shaft with heads at both ends • Mostly compact bone • Examples: bones of the limbs (except bones and ankles!) • Short Bones • Typically cube shaped • Mostly spongy bone • Examples: bones of wrist and ankles
Types of Bone (Characteristics) • Flat Bones • Thin, flattened, usually curved • Two layers of compact bone sandwiching spongy bone in between • Examples: skull, ribs, sternum, scapula • Irregular Bones • Bones that do not fall into previous three categories • Examples: pelvis, vertebrae
Bone Growth and Formation • Babies: • Adults:
Bone Growth and Formation • Babies • Embryo: hyaline cartilage • Infant: mostly bone • Fibrous membranes connecting flat bones • Adults • Almost entirely bone • Isolated cartilage remains (nose, ear, etc) • Flat bones replace connective membranes
Bone Growth and Formation • Bones use cartilage as “models” during bone formation (ossification) • Ossification happens in two steps: • Hyaline cartilage model is superficially covered with bone matrix by osteoblasts • Hyaline cartilage is broken down, leaving behind an empty, medullary cavity.
Ossification Cont’d • After birth, only two regions of cartilage remain: articular cartilages and epiphyseal plates
Bone Remodeling • Bones change as the body grows. Why is this necessary? • As the body changes in size and weight, our bones must compensate for the additional mass. Additionally, bones become thicker and form projections where bulky muscles attach.
Bone Remodelingoccurs in response to two factors: • Blood Calcium Levels • Calcium, PTH • PTH activates osteoclasts, which break down bone to release Calcium • Calcium, Calcium is deposited in bones for storage • Determines when skeleton is remodeled • Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton • Determines where skeleton is remodeled
Healing a Bone • Occurs in 4 Steps: • Hematoma is formed • Break is splinted by fibrocartilage • Bony callus is formed • Bone remodeling occurs
Axial Skeleton • Skull, vertebral column, bony thorax
Appendicular Skeleton • Bones of the limbs and girdles
