7.2 Bone Structure
Bones differ in size and shape, yet are similar in
several ways.

Parts of a Long Bone
1. Expanded ends of bones that form joints with
adjacent bones are called epiphyses.
2. Articular cartilages (hyaline cartilage) cover the
epiphyses
3. The shaft of the bone is the diaphysis.
4. A tough layer of vascular connective tissue, called the
periosteum, covers the bone and is continuous with
ligaments and tendons.

5. A bone's shape makes possible its function;
bony processes or grooves indicate places of
attachment for muscles.
*Learn Skeletal Structure Terms
6. Compact bone makes up the wall of the diaphysis;
the epiphyses are filled with spongy bone to reduce
the weight of the skeleton.
7. The diaphysis contains a hollow medullary
cavity that is lined with endosteum and filled with
marrow.

Microscopic Structure
1. Bone cells (osteocytes) are located within
lacunae that lie in concentric circles around
osteonic canals.
2. Osteocytes pass nutrients and gasses in the
matrix through canaliculi.
3. Intercellular material consists of collagen and
inorganic salts.
7-8

4. In compact bone, osteocytes and intercellular material
are organized into osteons that are cemented
together.
5. Osteonic canals contain blood vessels and nerve fibers,
and extend longitudinally through bone.
6. Osteonic canals are interconnected by transverse
perforating canals.
7. Unlike compact bone, the osteocytes and intercellular
material in spongy bone are not arranged around
osteonic canals.

Study Analogy: Think of it as a sort of apartment
complex or prison system.
The osteocytes are
“trapped” in the hard matrix but are living cells. So
everything has to be brought in and out for them. The
food and oxygen are sent up “dumb waiters” called
osteons. The wastes and carbon dioxide go down the
same way. But each cell is in its own apartment or jail
cell (lacunae) and so the canaliculi are the way they
can pass things back and forth from cell to cell so to
speak. But they’d better get along! If the first ones
“eat up all the food and oxygen” the osteocytes farther
out can retaliate with their carbon dioxide and by
“flushing their toilets.”
7 - 11
An osteocyte is a
A. bone building cell.
B. bone destroying cell.
C. bone cell surrounded by matrix.
D. bone marrow cell.

 7.3 Bone Development and Growth
 Bones form by replacing connective tissue
in the fetus.
 2WAYS:
 Some form within sheetlike layers of connective
tissue (intramembranous bones), while others
replace masses of cartilage (endochondral
bones).
7 - 15
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Intramembranous Bones
1.
The flat bones of the skull form as intramembranous
bones that develop from layers of connective tissue.
2.
Osteoblasts deposit bony tissue around themselves.
3.
Once osteoblasts deposit bone located in lacunae, they
are called osteocytes.
3.
Cells of the membranous connective tissue that lie
outside the developing bone give rise to the
periosteum.
7 - 16
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
Endochondral Bones
1. Most of the bones of the skeleton fall into this category.
2. They first develop as hyaline cartilage models and are
then replaced with bone.
3. Cartilage is broken down in the diaphysis and
progressively replaced with bone while the periosteum
develops on the outside.
4. Cartilage tissue is invaded by blood vessels and
osteoblasts that first form spongy bone at the primary
ossification center in the diaphysis.
7 - 17
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
5. Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum lay
down compact bone outside the
spongy bone.
6. Secondary ossification centers appear
later in the epiphyses.

7 - 19
A band of hyaline cartilage, the
epiphyseal plate, forms between the
two ossification centers.
Layers of cartilage cells undergoing
mitosis make up the epiphyseal plate.
Osteoclasts break down the calcified
matrix and are replaced with bonebuilding osteoblasts that deposit bone
in place of calcified cartilage.

7 - 20
Epiphyseal plates are responsible for
lengthening bones while increases in
thickness are due to intramembranous
ossification underneath the
periosteum.
A medullary cavity forms in the region
of the diaphysis due to the activity of
osteoclasts.

Homeostasis of Bone Tissue
Osteoclasts tear down and osteoblasts build
bone throughout the lifespan with the
processes of resorption and deposition, with
an average of 3% to 5% of bone calcium
exchanged annually.

7.4 Bone Function
Support and Protection
1.
Bones give shape to the head,
thorax, and limbs.
2.
Bones such as the pelvis and
lower limbs provide support for
the body.
3.
Bones of the skull protect the
brain,ears, and eyes.

Body Movement
1. Bones can act as levers.
A lever has four components:
rigid bar
pivot or fulcrum
object that is moved against resistance
force that supplies energy

Blood Cell Formation
1.
Two kinds of marrow occupy the
medullary cavities of bone.
a.
Red marrow functions in the
formation of red blood cells,
white blood cells, and
platelets, and is found in the
spongy bone of the skull,
ribs, sternum, clavicles,
vertebrae, and pelvis.
b.
Yellow marrow, occupying
the cavities of most bones,
stores fat.

Storage of Inorganic Salts
1.
The inorganic matrix of bone
stores inorganic mineral salts in
the form of calcium phosphate
that is important in many
metabolic processes.
2.
Calcium in bone is a reservoir for
body calcium; when blood levels
are low, osteoclasts release
calcium from bone.
7 - 32

4.
5.
7 - 33
Calcium is stored in bone under
the influence of calcitonin when
blood levels of calcium are high.
Bone also stores magnesium,
sodium, potassium, and carbonate
ions.
Bones can also accumulate
harmful elements, such as lead,
radium, and strontium.

7 - 119
Joints (articulations) are the functional
junctions between bones.
Joints enable a wide variety of body
movements.
Joints can be classified according to the
degree of movement possible and
can be immovable, slightly
movable, or freely movable.

Joints can also classified according to
the type of tissue that binds them
together.
Fibrous Joints
1.
Fibrous joints are held close
together by dense connective
tissue and are immovable (sutures
of skull) or only slightly movable
(joint between the distal tibia and
fibula).

Cartilaginous Joints
1.
Hyaline cartilage or disks of
fibrocartilage unite the bones in
cartilaginous joints.
2.
Intervertebral disks between
vertebrae help absorb shock
and are slightly movable.
3.
Other examples of cartilaginous
joints include the symphysis
pubis and the first rib with
the sternum.

Synovial Joints
1.
Most joints of the skeleton are
synovial joints, which are
more complex than fibrous
or cartilaginous joints.
2.
The articular ends of bone in a
synovial joint are covered
with hyaline cartilage.

A joint capsule consists of an
outer layer of dense
connective tissue that joins
the periosteum, and an
inner layer made up of
synovial membrane.
a.
Synovial fluid has the
consistency of egg whites
and lubricates articulating
surfaces within the joint.

Based on the shapes of their parts
and the movements they permit,
synovial joints can be classified as
follows:
a.
A ball-and-socket joint
consists of a bone with a globular
or egg-shaped head articulating
with the cup-shaped cavity of
another bone; a very wide range
of motion is possible; examples
include the hip and shoulder joint.

A condyloid joint consists of an
ovoid condyle fitting into an
elliptical cavity, permitting a
variety of motions; an
example is the joint
between a metacarpal and
a phalange.

Gliding joints occur where
articulating surfaces are nearly
flat or slightly curved, allowing a
back-and-forth motion; the joints
of the wrist and ankle, as well as
those between vertebrae, are
gliding joints.

In a hinge joint, a convex surface
fits into a concave surface, as is
found in the elbow and phalange
joints; movement is in one plane
only.
In a pivot joint , a cylindrical
surface rotates within a ring of
bone and fibrous tissue; examples
include the joint between the
proximal ends of the radius and
ulna.

A saddle joint forms where
articulating surfaces have both
concave and convex areas,
permitting a wide range of
movements; the joint between
the trapezium and the metacarpal
of the thumb is of this type.

Types of Joint Movements
1.
When a muscle contracts, its fibers pull
its movable end (insertion)
toward its stationary end (origin),
causing movement at a joint.
