Bone Classification (Fig. 7.1) Bones are classified according to shape Long bones  are long with expanded ends, Ex: forearm and thigh bone Short bones  are cube like, Ex: wrist, ankle Flat bones  are broad and plate like, Ex: ribs, scapulae, and some skull bones Irregular bones  vary in shape, Ex: vertebrae Sesamoid or round bones  are small bones embedded in tendons, Ex: kneecap (patella)
Long Bone Structure (Figure 7.2)
Parts of Long Bone Epiphysis:  end of the bone which articulates (forms a joint) with another bone. Epiphyses are composed of  spongy bone  and covered with hyaline cartilage called articular cartilage. Diaphysis:  shaft of the bone between the epiphyses, composed of  compact bone  with a medullary cavity in the center. Periosteum:  fibrous tissue covering of the bone.
Compact Bone (Fig. 7.4) Osteocytes and layers of intercellular material lie in concentric rings around an  osteonic canal . This unit is called an  osteon  or  Haversian system . Osteonic canals contain blood vessels and nerve fibers and  are interconnected  by transverse perforating ( Volkmann’s) canals  and even smaller  canaliculi .
Spongy Bone The spongy bone is found in the area around the  epiphyseal disk  where cells have high mitotic activity. Osteocytes lie within lacunae within  trabeculae  or branching bony plates.  Canaliculi  lead to the trabeculae. Nutrients needed for mitosis diffuse from a blood vessel into the canaliculi.
Bone Growth and Development   Bone Development (Fig. 7.6 a) : The skeletal system begins to form during the  first weeks of  prenatal development . Some bones originate within sheets of connective tissue ( intramembranous bones ). Some bones begin as models of hyaline cartilage that are replaced by bone ( endochrondral bones ).
Intramembranous Bones (Tab. 7.1) Broad,  flat skull bones  are intramembranous bones. During  osteogenesis  layers of primitive, connective tissue supplied with blood vessels appear at the site of future  bone. Cells differentiate into  osteoblasts  (bone-building cells) which deposit  spongy bone . Osteoblasts become  osteocytes  when surrounded by bony matrix in lacunae.  Periosterum : Connective tissue on the surface of the bone forms it. Osteoblasts on the inside of the periosteum deposit compact bone over spongy bone.  This process is called  intramembranous ossification .
Endochondral Bones (Tab. 7.1; Fig. 7.8) Hyaline cartilage  forms models of future bones.  Cartilage degenerates,  periosteum forms . Periosteal blood vessels and osteoblasts invade the bone forming a  primary ossification center  in the diaphysis. Secondary ossification centers  develop in the epiphyses. Osteoblasts form spongy bone  in the space occupied by cartilage. Osteoblasts become osteocytes  when bony matrix surrounds them. Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum deposit compact bone around spongy bone. A band of cartilage remains between the diaphysis and epiphyses as the  epiphyseal disk .
Bone Growth and Development Bone Growth (Fig. 7.9; Fig. 7.11):   Growth of long bones occurs along four layers of cartilage in the  epiphyseal disk . First Layer : resting cells that do not grow. Second Layer :  young cells that are actively dividing by mitosis . Third Layer : older cells that enlarge. Fourth Layer : dead cells and calcified intercellular substances.
Bone Homeostasis -Remodeling After bone formation,  osteoclasts  and  osteoblasts  continue to remodel the bone. Resorption and deposition  are hormonally regulated to keep bone mass constant (textbook p. 194). The hormone controlling bone resorption is  PTH  or parathyroid hormone. The hormone of bone synthesis is  calcitonin .
Nutrition and Bone Development Vitamin D  is necessary to absorb calcium in the small intestine.  Vitamin D deficiency leads in  rickets  in children and  osteomalacia  in adults. Vitamin A  is necessary for osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Vitamin C  is necessary for collagen synthesis.
Hormonal Control of Bone Growth Growth Hormone (GH) stimulates cell division in epiphyseal cartilage. Deficiency of GH : pituitary dwarfism.  Excess GH : pituitary gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults. Thyroid hormone  stimulates cartilage replacement in the epiphyseal disks. Sex steroids  promote formation of bone tissue close  the epiphyseal disk.
Physical Factors Affecting Bone Physical stress stimulates bone growth. Weight bearing exercise stimulates bone tissue to thicken and strengthen ( hypertrophy ). Lack of exercise leads to bone wasting ( atrophy ) especially noted in the field of geriatrics.
Bone Function Bones  shape, support, and protect the body  structures. They act as levers to create  body movement  with muscles. They house blood cell producing tissue such as  red bone marrow  (textbook pp. 183, 194). They store fatty / lipidic nutrients in  yellow bone marrow. They store  inorganic salts  like calcium phosphates also called hydroxyapatite in their matrix (textbook pp. 183, 194).
Body Movement (Figure 7.14) For the lower arm to move upward, the biceps contracts.
Body Movement To move downward, the triceps contracts.
Fracture Repair (Clin. Appl. 7.1, p. 193) Blood escapes from damaged blood vessels and forms a hematoma. Spongy bone forms in regions near blood vessels and fibrocartilage forms farther away. A bony callus replaces the fibrocartilage. Osteoclasts  remove excess bony tissue and  new bone is restored much like the original involving  osteoblasts .
Blood Cell Formation In embryonic development, blood cell formation ( hematopoeisis ) occurs in yolk sac outside of the  embryo . Later, it occurs in the liver and spleen of the  fetus  . In the  adult , red and white blood cell  precursor cells or stem cells  are formed in the red bone marrow. Note :  Erythropoesis is the synthesis of  R ed  B lood  C ells.
Skeletal Organization (Tab. 7.3):  Axial and Appendicular Skeleton It  consists of  bones that support organs of the  head, neck, and trunk. Skull:  cranium and facial bones. Hyoid bone . Vertebral column . Thoracic cage:  ribs and sternum. Axial Skeleton:
Figure 7.17 – red portion of the figure
Appendicular Skeleton: It  consists of  the bones of limbs and bones that anchor the limbs to the axial skeleton. Pectoral girdle:  scapula, clavicle. Upper limbs:  humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges. Pelvic girdle:  coxal bones. Lower limbs:  femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
Figure 7.17 – yellow portion of the figure
Cranium – Memorize the eight cranial plates. Frontal  bone: forehead 2 Parietal  bones: top of the skull Occipital  bone: back of the skull 2 Temporal  bones: side of skull, near ears Sphenoid  bone:base of the cranium Ethmoid  bone: roof of the nasal cavity
Figure 7.21 Frontal bone
Figure 7.21-  Note the location of the sphenoid and ethmoid bones.
Figure 7.22 –  Note the location of the sphenoid bone.
Facial Skeleton   * Note:  We will not focus on the facial skeleton except to know the locations of the jaw bones and their names. Maxillary  bones: upper jaw, hard palate Palatine  bones: hard palate, nasal cavity Zygomatic  bones: cheek bones Lacrimal  bones: orbit of the eye Nasal  bones: bridge of the nose Vomer  bone: nasal septum Nasal conchae : walls of the nasal cavity Mandible : lower jaw
Infantile Skull (Fig. 7.33) The skull at birth is not fully developed. Fibrous membranes,  fontanels , connect the cranial bones. They allow movement of the bones to enable the skull to pass through the birth canal. The fontanels close as cranial bones grow. The  posterior fontanel  closes within two months after birth.  All others close within two years after birth.
Figure 7.33
Vertebral Column Note :  You are responsible for memorizing the names of the regions of the vertebral column. Cervical vertebrae : seven vertebrae of the neck, includes atlas and axis Thoracic vertebrae : twelve vertebrae that articulate with the ribs Lumbar vertebrae : five vertebrae that make up the small of the back Sacrum:  five vertebrae that fuse in early adulthood, part of the pelvis Coccyx:  four small fused vertebrae
Vertebral Column  (Fig. 7.34)
Thoracic Cage  (Fig. 7.40) Ribs:  twelve pair of ribs attached to each thoracic vertebrae. Seven pairs:  true ribs and attach to the sternum by costal cartilage. Two pairs:  false ribs that attach to cartilage. Two pairs:  floating ribs that do not attach to the sternum or its cartilage. Sternum:  the manubrium, the body, and the xyphoid process.
Pectoral Girdle (Fig. 7.42) Clavicles:  collar bones that attach the sternum to the shoulder anteriorly. Scapulae:  shoulder blades with two processes. Acromion process:  tip of the shoulder. Coracoid process:  attaches to the clavicle and provides attachments for muscles. Glenoid fossa:  It articulates with the humerus.
Fig. 7.42 –  Pectoral girdle, thoracic cage and upper limb.
Upper limb (Fig. 7.44) Humerus:  upper arm bone, articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula Radius:  thumb side of the forearm, articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna Ulna:  longer bone of the forearm, olecranon and coronoid processes articulate with the humerus
Hand (Fig. 7.47)   * Note:  We will not focus on the eight separate carpals, but you need to know that they are named carpals. Carpal  bones:  eight  small bones of the wrist, a total of  sixteen  carpals. Metacarpal  bones:  five  bones, the framework of the palm. Phalanges : finger bones,  three  in each finger (proximal, middle, distal phalanx),  two  in the thumb.
Fig. 7.47
Pelvic Girdle (Fig. 7.49) Two Coxal bones or coxae :  two hip bones composed of three fused bones. Ilium:  superior part of the coxal bone. Ischium:  lowest portion of the coxal bone. Pubis:  anterior part of the coxal bone.  The two pubic bones joint at the symphysis pubis.
Fig. 7.49 – Anterior view.
Fig. 7.49 – Posterior view.
Male and Female Pelvis Differences are due to birthing necessitating a  wider area for carrying the fetus: Female iliac bones are more flared. The female pubic arch angle is greater. There is a greater distance between the ischial spines and tuberosities in the female. The sacral curvature is shorter and flatter. The differences create a wider pelvic cavity.
Fig. 7.51
Lower Limb (Figure 7.52) Femur:  thigh bone, longest bone Patella:  kneecap, located in a tendon, femur, tibia, and patella form the knee joint Tibia:  shinbone, lateral malleolus forms the ankle Fibula:  slender bone lateral to the tibia, not part of the knee joint
Fig. 7.52
Foot (Fig. 7.55) Tarsal bones : seven small bones in the ankle. The  calcaneus  (heel bone) is the largest, located below the talus, a total of  fourteen  bones. Metatarsal  bones: elongated bones that form the arch of the foot. Phalanges : each toe has three except the great tow which has two.
Fig. 7.55
Life-Span Changes Calcium levels fall throughout life and the skeleton loses strength. Osteoclasts  eventually outnumber  osteoblasts .
Life-Span Changes By age 35, everyone loses bone mass .  Trabecular bone  is lost before compact bone.

  • 22. Skeletal Organization (Tab. 7.3): Axial and Appendicular Skeleton It consists of bones that support organs of the head, neck, and trunk. Skull: cranium and facial bones. Hyoid bone . Vertebral column . Thoracic cage: ribs and sternum. Axial Skeleton:
  • 23. Figure 7.17 – red portion of the figure
  • 24. Appendicular Skeleton: It consists of the bones of limbs and bones that anchor the limbs to the axial skeleton. Pectoral girdle: scapula, clavicle. Upper limbs: humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges. Pelvic girdle: coxal bones. Lower limbs: femur, tibia, fibula, patella, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
  • 25. Figure 7.17 – yellow portion of the figure
  • 26. Cranium – Memorize the eight cranial plates. Frontal bone: forehead 2 Parietal bones: top of the skull Occipital bone: back of the skull 2 Temporal bones: side of skull, near ears Sphenoid bone:base of the cranium Ethmoid bone: roof of the nasal cavity
  • 28. Figure 7.21- Note the location of the sphenoid and ethmoid bones.
  • 29. Figure 7.22 – Note the location of the sphenoid bone.
  • 30. Facial Skeleton * Note: We will not focus on the facial skeleton except to know the locations of the jaw bones and their names. Maxillary bones: upper jaw, hard palate Palatine bones: hard palate, nasal cavity Zygomatic bones: cheek bones Lacrimal bones: orbit of the eye Nasal bones: bridge of the nose Vomer bone: nasal septum Nasal conchae : walls of the nasal cavity Mandible : lower jaw
  • 31. Infantile Skull (Fig. 7.33) The skull at birth is not fully developed. Fibrous membranes, fontanels , connect the cranial bones. They allow movement of the bones to enable the skull to pass through the birth canal. The fontanels close as cranial bones grow. The posterior fontanel closes within two months after birth. All others close within two years after birth.
  • 33. Vertebral Column Note : You are responsible for memorizing the names of the regions of the vertebral column. Cervical vertebrae : seven vertebrae of the neck, includes atlas and axis Thoracic vertebrae : twelve vertebrae that articulate with the ribs Lumbar vertebrae : five vertebrae that make up the small of the back Sacrum: five vertebrae that fuse in early adulthood, part of the pelvis Coccyx: four small fused vertebrae
  • 34. Vertebral Column (Fig. 7.34)
  • 35. Thoracic Cage (Fig. 7.40) Ribs: twelve pair of ribs attached to each thoracic vertebrae. Seven pairs: true ribs and attach to the sternum by costal cartilage. Two pairs: false ribs that attach to cartilage. Two pairs: floating ribs that do not attach to the sternum or its cartilage. Sternum: the manubrium, the body, and the xyphoid process.
  • 36. Pectoral Girdle (Fig. 7.42) Clavicles: collar bones that attach the sternum to the shoulder anteriorly. Scapulae: shoulder blades with two processes. Acromion process: tip of the shoulder. Coracoid process: attaches to the clavicle and provides attachments for muscles. Glenoid fossa: It articulates with the humerus.
  • 37. Fig. 7.42 – Pectoral girdle, thoracic cage and upper limb.
  • 38. Upper limb (Fig. 7.44) Humerus: upper arm bone, articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula Radius: thumb side of the forearm, articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna Ulna: longer bone of the forearm, olecranon and coronoid processes articulate with the humerus
  • 39. Hand (Fig. 7.47) * Note: We will not focus on the eight separate carpals, but you need to know that they are named carpals. Carpal bones: eight small bones of the wrist, a total of sixteen carpals. Metacarpal bones: five bones, the framework of the palm. Phalanges : finger bones, three in each finger (proximal, middle, distal phalanx), two in the thumb.
  • 41. Pelvic Girdle (Fig. 7.49) Two Coxal bones or coxae : two hip bones composed of three fused bones. Ilium: superior part of the coxal bone. Ischium: lowest portion of the coxal bone. Pubis: anterior part of the coxal bone. The two pubic bones joint at the symphysis pubis.
  • 42. Fig. 7.49 – Anterior view.
  • 43. Fig. 7.49 – Posterior view.
  • 44. Male and Female Pelvis Differences are due to birthing necessitating a wider area for carrying the fetus: Female iliac bones are more flared. The female pubic arch angle is greater. There is a greater distance between the ischial spines and tuberosities in the female. The sacral curvature is shorter and flatter. The differences create a wider pelvic cavity.
  • 46. Lower Limb (Figure 7.52) Femur: thigh bone, longest bone Patella: kneecap, located in a tendon, femur, tibia, and patella form the knee joint Tibia: shinbone, lateral malleolus forms the ankle Fibula: slender bone lateral to the tibia, not part of the knee joint
  • 48. Foot (Fig. 7.55) Tarsal bones : seven small bones in the ankle. The calcaneus (heel bone) is the largest, located below the talus, a total of fourteen bones. Metatarsal bones: elongated bones that form the arch of the foot. Phalanges : each toe has three except the great tow which has two.
  • 50. Life-Span Changes Calcium levels fall throughout life and the skeleton loses strength. Osteoclasts eventually outnumber osteoblasts .
  • 51. Life-Span Changes By age 35, everyone loses bone mass . Trabecular bone is lost before compact bone.
