Classification of bones
1.According to the shape,
 Long bone
 Short bone
 Flat bone
 Irregular bone
 Sesamoid bone

Long bone
Typically longer than wide
Have a shaft with heads at both ends
Contain mostly compact bone
Examples:
 Femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, radius

Short bones
 Generally cube-shape
 Contain mostly spongy bone
 Examples: Carpals , tarsals

Flat bones
Thin and flattened
Usually curved
Thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone
 Examples; Skull, ribs, sternum

Sesamoid bone
Bones embedded in tendons
 Examples: patella (knee cap) ,pisiform (of the wrist) ,Epiphysis

2.According to the bone tissue
 Compact bone
 Spongy bone

Compact bone (Cortical bone)
 Osseous tissue is arranged in osteons/ Haversian systems (structural
unit of compact bone)
 Osteons
 Each osteon is a compact cylinder of concentric bone layers- lamellae
 surrounds a central canal – Harversian canal
 Osteocytes are found on the edges of each lamella
 Cells in - lacunae

 Cyptoplasmic extensions - in canaliculi
 Central canal /Haversian canal contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and
nerves
 Volkmann’s canals / perforating canals run at right angles connect the
adjacent osteons together (Also contain blood vessels, lymph vessels &
nerves)
 No osteons at the outer edges of compact bone
 Osseous tissue arranged in circumferential lamellae

Spongy bone (Cancellous bone)
 Light, porous bone enclosing numerous large spaces
 Osseous tissue is arranged into trabeculae
 (3dimensional latticework of bony processes)
 Within a single trabecular:
 concentric lamellae , with osteocytes in lacunae connected to one
another via in canaliculi

 The spaces between trabeculae are often filled with bone marrow and
blood vessels
 Found in most areas of bone that are not subject to great mechanical
stress
 ends of long bones (epiphyses)
 near joints
 interior of vertebrae
 Cancellous bone is usually surrounded by a shell of compact bone
 provides greater strength and rigidity

Bone cells
 Osteogenic cells
Stem cells that give rise to other bone cells
 Osteoblasts
 Bone forming cells
 Synthesize soft organic bone matrix
 Hardens later by deposition of minerals
[calcification/ ossification)

 Osteoclasts
Responsible for bone resorption
Large, multi nucleated cells
 Osteocytes
Capable of bone deposition and resorption
Able to sense mechanical stresses to bone
Control the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts as necessary
Bone remodeling
levels in blood
Helps in regulating Calcium and phosphate levels in the body

Bone formation & growth
 In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline
cartilage
 During development, much of this cartilage is
replaced by bone.
 Cartilage remains in isolated areas
-Bridge of the nose
-Parts of ribs
-Joints
 Bones form later by 2 mechanisms;
1. Intramembranous ossification
2. Endochondral ossification

1.Bone develops directly from sheets of mesenchymal (undifferentiated) connective tissue
2.Differentiate into capillaries & osteogenic cells
3.Early osteoblasts appear in a cluster (ossification centre)
4.Secrete uncalcified matrix (osteoid )
5. Osteoid
6.Undergo calcification
7.Network of bone trabeculae is formed (Woven bone)
8.Mesenchyme condenses to form the periosteum
9.Trabeculae just deep to the periosteum thicken & converted to compact bone
Intramembranous ossification

Bones formed by Intramembranous ossification (Intramembranous bone)
 Flat bones of the face
 Most of the cranial bones
 Clavicles

Endochondral ossification
 Template of the bone is laid down by hyaline cartilage
 Bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage Most of the long bones are endochondral bones
 Mesenchymal Form cells differentiate into chondroblasts
 Form the hyaline cartilaginous precursors of the Bones
 Blood vessels in the perichondrium bring osteoblasts to the edges of the structure
 Deposit bone in a ring around the diaphysis (Bone collar)
 Chondrocyte Blood death and disintegration the of cartilage in the centre of the structure
 Blood Vessels penetrate the resulting Spaces
 Spacrs enlarge form medullary cavity
 Invaded by bone forming cells

 Deposit bone in the medullary cavity (Primary ossification centre)
 Cartilage continue to grows at ends of the structure (the future epiphyses)
 Increase the length of the structure
 After birth, same process takes place in the epiphyseal regions (Secondary ossification
centre)
 Thin plate of hyaline cartilage remains between the diaphysis and epiphysis throughout the
childhood and adolescence – epiphyseal plate

Joints
 Functional Classification
-Synarthrosis - immovable
-Amphiarthrosis – slightly movable
-Diarthrosis – freely movable
 Structural Classification
- Fibrous bones - connected by fibrous tissue
- Cartilaginous – bones connected by cartilage
- Synovial – articulating surfaces enclosed within fluid filled joint capsule

Venus has a beautiful name and is the
second planet from the Sun. It’s terribly hot,
even hotter than Mercury, and its
atmosphere is extremely poisonous. It’s the
second-brightest natural object in the night
sky after the Moon
Fibrous joint
 The two bony surfaces involved are separated by
fibrous tissue
 Movement is negligible
Types,
Sutures of the skull
 Distal tibiofibular join- syndesmosis
 Gomphosis

Cartilaginous joints
 Bones are united by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
 Primary cartilaginous
(synchondrosis)
 Bone and hyaline cartilage meet
 Completely immobile
Types,
– Ossifying hyaline cartilage in the epiphysis
– Junctions between the ribs and the costal

Carpometacapal joint
of thumb
Ellipsoidal joints Ovoid articular
surface or condyle,
articulates with a
elliptical cavity
Wrist joint

joint
Metatarsophalangeal

Common Skeletal System Disorders
 A number of disorders affect the skeletal system, including bone
fractures and bone cancers.
 However, the two most common disorders of the skeletal system
are osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

Abnormal Spinal Curvatures
 Abnormal spinal curvatures can result from disease,
weakness or paralysis of the trunk muscles, poor
posture, pregnancy, or congenital defects in vertebral
anatomy
