- 2. Functions of Bone and the Skeletal System 1. Support. The skeleton serves as the structural framework for the body by supporting soft tissues and providing attachment points for the tendons of most skeletal muscles. 2. Protection. The skeleton protects the most important internal organs from injury. For example, cranial bones protect the brain, and the rib cage protects the heart and lungs. 3. Assistance in movement. Most skeletal muscles attach to bones; when they contract, they pull on bones to produce movement. 4. Mineral homeostasis (storage and release). Bone tissue makes up about 18% of the weight of the human body. It stores minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, which contribute to the strength of bone. Bone tissue stores about 99% of the body’s calcium. 29-12-2023 2
- 3. 5. Blood cell production. In bones, a connective tissue called red bone marrow produces red blood cells and white blood cells, and platelets, this process is called as hemopoiesis Red bone marrow consists of developing blood cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages within a network of reticular fibers. It is present in developing bones of the fetus and in some adult bones, such as the hip (pelvic) bones, ribs, sternum (breastbone), vertebrae (backbones), skull, and ends of the bones of the humerus (arm bone) and femur (thigh bone). 6. Triglyceride storage. Yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose cells, which store triglycerides. The stored triglycerides are a potential chemical energy reserve. 29-12-2023 3
- 4. Structure of Bone 29-12-2023 4 The study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders is known to as Osteology The bone is a rigid body tissue that makes up our body skeleton.
- 5. • The diaphysis is the bone’s shaft or body the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone. • The epiphyses are the proximal and distal ends of the bone. • The metaphyses are the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses. • The articular cartilage is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone. • The periosteum is a tough connective tissue sheath and its associated blood supply that surrounds the bone surface wherever periosteum is attached to the underlying bone by perforating fibers or Sharpey’s fibers, thick bundles of collagen that extend from the periosteum into the bone extracellular matrix. 29-12-2023 5
- 6. • The medullary cavity or marrow cavity, is a hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow • The endosteum is a thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity Types of cells in bone tissue 1. Osteoprogenitor cells are unspecialized bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme, the tissue from which almost all connective tissues are formed. They are the only bone cells to undergo cell division; the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts. Osteoprogenitor cells are found along the inner portion of the periosteum, in the endosteum, and in the canals within bone that contain blood vessels. 29-12-2023 6
- 7. Types of cells in bone tissue 2. Osteoblasts are bone-building cells. They synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue, and they initiate calcification. As osteoblasts surround themselves with extracellular matrix, they become trapped in their secretions and become osteocytes. (Note: The ending –blast means that the cell secretes extracellular matrix.) 3. Osteocytes, are the main cells in bone tissue and maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood. Like osteoblasts, osteocytes do not undergo cell division. • (Note: The ending -cyte means that the cell maintains and monitors the tissue.) 29-12-2023 7
- 8. 4. Osteoclasts are huge cells derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes (a type of white blood cell) and are concentrated in the endosteum. These cell releases powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest the protein and mineral components of the underlying extracellular bone matrix. This breakdown of bone extracellular matrix, termed bone resorption, is part of the normal development, maintenance, and repair of bone. (Note: The ending -clast means that the cell breaks down extracellular matrix.) 29-12-2023 8

- 11. Types of Bones 29-12-2023 11 1. Short bone: cube-shaped and are nearly equal in length and width. 2. Long bones: have greater length than width, consist of a shaft and a variable number of epiphyses (ends), and are slightly curved for strength. 3. Flat bones: are generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue. 4. Irregular bones: have complex shapes 5. Sesamoid bones ( sesame seed like shape). 6. Sutural bones: are small bones located in sutures
- 12. 29-12-2023 12 The Axial skeleton Skull
- 13. • The skull is the bony framework of the head. It contains 22 bones (not counting the bones of the middle ears) The bones of the skull are divided into two categories: Cranial bones(8) and facial bones(14) = 22 Cranial Bones Frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone. Facial Bones Two nasal bones, two maxillae (or maxillas), two zygomatic bones, the mandible, two lacrimal bones, two palatine bones, two inferior nasal conchae, and the vomer. 29-12-2023 13
- 14. Hyoid Bone(U shape) • It is a unique component of the axial skeleton because it does not articulate with any other bone. Vertebral Column 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck region. (C1–C7) 12 thoracic vertebrae posterior to the thoracic cavity. (T1–T12) 5 lumbar vertebrae supporting the lower back. (L1–L5) 1 sacrum consisting of five fused sacral vertebrae. (S1–S5) 1 coccyx usually consisting of four fused coccygeal vertebrae. (Co1–Co4) 29-12-2023 14
- 15. 29-12-2023 15 The vertebral column also called the spine, backbone, or spinal column, it is composed of a series of bones called vertebrae. it about 71 cm (28 in.) in an average adult male and about 61 cm (24 in.) in an average adult female. it shows four slight bends called normal curves. The curves of the vertebral column increase its strength, help maintain balance in the upright position, absorb shocks during walking, and help protect the vertebrae from fracture.

- 17. Thorax • The thoracic cage, is a bony enclosure formed by the sternum, ribs and their costal cartilages, and the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae. 1. Sternum The sternum, or breastbone, is a flat, narrow bone located in the center of the anterior thoracic wall that measures about 15 cm (6 in.) in length and consists of three parts Manubrium, Body, xiphoid process 2. Ribs Twelve pairs of ribs, numbered 1–12 from superior to inferior, give structural support to the sides of the thoracic cavity. The first through seventh pairs of ribs have a direct anterior attachment to the sternum by a strip of hyaline cartilage called costal cartilage. The ribs that have costal cartilages and attach directly to the sternum are called true ribs. 29-12-2023 17

Pelvic Girdle (Hip) • The complete ring composed of the hip bones, pubic symphysis, sacrum, and coccyx forms a deep, basin like structure called the bony pelvis. • The portion of the bony pelvis superior to the pelvic brim is called as the false (greater) pelvis • The portion of the bony pelvis inferior to the pelvic brim is the true (lesser) pelvis. 29-12-2023 20

- 25. Microscopic Anatomy of a Skeletal Muscle Fiber The diameter of a mature skeletal muscle fiber ranges from 10 to 100 μm. • Sarcolemma, Transverse Tubules, and Sarcoplasm • Myofibrils and Sarcoplasmic Reticulum • Filaments and the Sarcomere Thin filaments are 8 nm in diameter and 1–2 μm long and composed of the protein actin, while thick filaments are 16 nm in diameter and 1–2 μm long and composed of the protein myosin. In skeletal muscle, about 300 molecules of myosin form a single thick filament. 29-12-2023 25
- 26. • Smaller amounts of two regulatory proteins tropomyosin and troponin are also part of the thin filament. • In relaxed muscle, myosin is blocked from binding to actin because strands of tropomyosin cover the myosin- binding sites on actin. The tropomyosin strands in turn are held in place by troponin molecules. when calcium ions (Ca2+) bind to troponin, troponin undergoes a conformational change this change moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites on actin, and muscle contraction subsequently begins as myosin binds to actin. 29-12-2023 26
