Bone
тАв Calcified, living, connective tissue that forms the
majority of skeletal system
тАв Intercellular calcified matrix which consist
collagen fiber
тАв Functions as
тАУ
тАУ
тАУ
тАУ
тАУ

Supportive structure
Protector
Reservoir
Act as a lever
Act as a container
Type of Bone
тАв Compact
тАУ Dense bone tissue composed of osteons, which resist
pressure and shocks and protect the spongy tissue
тАУ forms especially the diaphysis of the long bones.

тАв Spongy
тАУ Tissue made of bony compartments separated by
cavities filled with bone marrow, blood vessels and
nerves
тАУ gives bones their lightness.
Classification of bone
тАв According by shape
тАУ Long bone
тАУ Short bone
тАУ Flat bone
тАУ Irregular bone
тАУ Sesamoid bone
Long bone
тАв Longer than they are wide.
тАв Reflects the elongated shape rather than the
overall size.
тАв Consist of a shaft plus two ends and are
constructed primarily of compact bone
тАв may contain substantial amounts of spongy
bone.
тАв All bones of the limbs, except the patella,
wrist and ankle bones, are long bones.
Parts of long bone
тАв Epiphysis
тАУ Are expanded articular ends
тАУ separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate
during bone growth
тАУ composed of a spongy bone surrounded by a thin
layer of compact bone.
тАУ Proximal epiphysis
тАв Enlarged terminal part of the bone,
тАв nearest the center of the body,

тАУ Distal epiphysis
тАв Enlarged terminal part of the bone,
тАв farthest from the center of the body,
тАв Metaphysis
тАУ Part of the bone between the epiphysis and the
diaphysis;
тАУ it contains the connecting cartilage enabling the
bone to grow
тАУ disappears at adulthood.

тАв Diaphysis
тАУ Elongated hollow central portion of the bone
located between the methaphyses;
тАУ made of compact tissue
тАУ encloses the medullary cavity.
Structure of long bone
тАв Osteon
тАУ Elementary cylindrical structure of the compact
bone
тАУ Runs parallel to longest axis of bone
тАУ Surrounds and opens into Haversian canal.

тАв Haversian canal
тАУ Lengthwise central canal of the osteon
тАУ enclose blood vessels and nerves.
тАв VolkmannтАЩs canals
тАУ Perforating canal
тАУ Transverse canals of the compact bone enclosing
blood vessels and nerves
тАУ they connect the Haversian canals and with the
medullary cavity and the periosteum.

тАв Medullarycavity
тАУ Cylindrical central cavity of the bone containing
the bone marrow
тАУ encloses lipid-rich yellow bone marrow.
тАв Periosteum
тАУ Fibrous membrane rich in blood vessels that
envelopes the bone
тАУ contributes especially to the boneтАЩs growth in
thickness.
тАУ anchored to the bone itself by bits of collagen called
SharpeyтАЩs perforating fibers.

тАв Concentric lamellae
тАУ Bony layers of osteon made of collagen fibers
тАУ arranged concentrically around the Haversian canal
тАУ form as the bones grow.
тАв Articular cartilage
тАУ Smooth resistant elastic tissue covering the terminal
part of the bone
тАУ facilitates movement and absorbs shocks.

тАв Blood vessel
тАУ Channel in the bone through which the blood
circulates, carrying the nutrients and mineral salts the
bone requires.

тАв Bone marrow
тАУ Soft substance contained in bone cavities, producing
blood cells
тАУ red in children, yellow in the long bones of adults.
JOINTS
the site where two or more
skeletal elements come together
Classification of Joint
тАв According to function of joint
тАУ Synarthroses
тАв no/little movement
тАв Sutures, Teeth,Epiphyseal plates,1st rib and costal cart.

тАУ Amphiarthroses
тАв slight movement
тАв Distal Tibia/fibula, Intervertebral discs, Pubic symphysis

тАУ Diarthroses
тАв great movement
тАв Glenohumeral joint, Knee joint, TMJ
тАв According to the structure of Joint
тАУ Cartilaginous
тАУ Fibrous
тАУ Synovial
тАв Cartilaginous Joint
тАУ are connected entirely by cartilage
тАУ allow more movement between bones than a
fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile
synovial joint
тАУ also forms the growth regions of immature long
bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal
column.
тАУ Types
тАв Synchondrosis
тАв Symphysis
Cartilaginous
тАв Synchondrosis (synarthroses)
тАУ Primary cartilaginous joints
тАУ Occur where two ossification centre in a developing bone
remain seperated by a layer of cartilage
тАУ Growth plate between head and shaft of developing long
bone
тАУ Allow bone growth and eventually become completely
ossified

тАв Symphysis (amphiarthroses)
тАУ
тАУ
тАУ
тАУ

Secondary cartileginousjoints
Two separate bones are interconnected by cartilage
Mostly occur in midline
Pubis symphysis, intervertebral disc between adjacent
vertebrae
тАв Fibrous Joint
тАУ are connected by dense connective tissue,
consisting mainly of collagen
тАУ Types
тАв Sutures
тАв Syndesmoses
тАв Gomphosis
Fibrous
тАв Suture
тАУ Only in skull where adjacent bones are linked by a thin
layer of connective tissue

тАв Gomphoses
тАУ Occur only between the teeth and adjacent bone
тАУ Short collagen tissue fibre in the periodontal ligament run
between the root of the tooth and the bony socket

тАв Syndesmoses
тАУ Joints in which two adjacent bones are linked by a
ligament
тАУ Are moveable
тАУ Ligamentumflavum, interosseos membrane
Synovial Joint
тАв Are diarthrosis
тАв the most common and most movable type
тАв achieve movement at the point of contact of the
articulating bones.
тАв The main structural differences between synovial
and fibrous joints are
тАУ the existence of capsules surrounding the articulating
surfaces of a synovial joint
тАУ the presence of lubricating synovial fluid within those
capsules.
Classification of synovial Joint
тАв Based upon movement
тАУ Uniaxial joint
тАУ Biaxial Joint
тАУ Multiaxial Joint
Classification of synovial Joint
тАв Based on the shape of their articular surface
тАУ Planar Joint
тАУ Hinge Joint
тАУ Pivot Joint
тАУ Bicondylar Joint
тАУ Condylar Joint
тАУ Saddle Joint
тАУ Ball and socket joint
тАв Plane Joint
тАУ Also called Gliding
Joints
тАУ One moves across the
surface of another
тАУ Allow sliding or gliding
movements
тАУ Acromoclavicular joint
тАв Hinge Joint
тАУ Also known as
ginglymus joint
тАУ Allow movement
around one axis that
passes transversly
through the joint
тАУ Permit flexion and
extension
тАУ Humeroulnar joint
тАв Pivot Joint
тАУ Also called trochoid joint
тАУ Allow movement around
one axis that passes
longitudinally along the
shaft of the bone
тАУ One bone rotates
another
тАУ Atlanto-axial joint
тАв Bicondylar Joint
тАУ Formed by two convex
condyles that articulate
with concave or flat
surface
тАУ Allow movement mostly
in one axis with limited
rotation around a second
axis
тАУ Knee joint
тАв Condylar Joint
тАУ Ellipsoid Joint
тАУ Allow movement around two
axis that are at right angle to
each other
тАУ Permit flexion, extension,
abduction, adduction and limited
circumduction
тАУ Wrist joint
тАв Saddle Joint
тАУ Also known as sellar joint
тАУ Allow movement around two
axis that are at right angle to
each other
тАУ Articularsuface are saddle
shaped
тАУ Permits flexion, extension,
abduction, adduction,
circumduction
тАУ Carpometacarple joint of the
thumb, sternoclavicular joint
тАв Ball and Socket Joint
тАУ Universal joint,
spheroidal joint
тАУ Allow movement
around multiple axis
тАУ Permits extension,
flexion, abduction,
adduction,
circumduction except
gliding
тАУ Hip joint, glenohumeral
joint
