The Musculoskeletal System > Types of Skeletal Systems
Introduction
• The skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective
tissues are all part of the musculoskeletal system, which work together to provide
the body with support, protection, and movement.
• The bones of the skeletal system protect the body's internal organs, support the
weight of the body, and serve as the main storage system for calcium and
phosphorus.
• The muscles of the muscular system keep bones in place; they assist with
movement by contracting and pulling on the bones.
• To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints which are connected to
other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissues such as tendons and

ligaments.
• Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on each other.
• Malnutrition and arthritis are examples of disorders and diseases in the body that
can severely impair the function of the musculoskeletal system.

The Musculoskeletal System > Types of Skeletal Systems
Hydrostatic Skeleton, Exoskeleton, and Endoskeleton
• In organisms with hydrostatic skeletons, the muscles contract to change the
shape of the coelom, which then produces movement due to the pressure of the
fluid inside the fluid-filled cavity.
• Exoskeletons are external skeletal systems that are made up of chitin and calcium
carbonate.
• Organisms with an endoskeleton are supported by a hard, mineralized skeletal
system that resides inside the body.
• In vertebrates, the endoskeleton system is further divided into the axial skeleton
and appendicular skeleton.

The Musculoskeletal System > Types of Skeletal Systems
Human Axial Skeleton
• The axial skeleton provides support and protection for the brain, spinal cord, and
the organs in the ventral body cavity; it also provides a surface for the attachment
of muscles, directs respiratory movements, and stabilizes portions of the
appendicular skeleton.
• The bones of the skull are divided into cranial bones and facial bones; their main
roles consist of supporting the structures of the face and protecting the brain.
• The vertebral column protects the spinal cord, supports the head, and acts as an
attachment point for the ribs and muscles of the back and neck.
• The thoracic cage's most notable role is in breathing; however, it also protects the
organs of the thoracic cavity, provides support for the shoulder girdles and upper

The Musculoskeletal System > Types of Skeletal Systems
Human Appendicular Skeleton
• The human appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the upper limbs,
the lower limbs, the pectoral girdle, and the pelvic girdle.
• The pectoral girdle acts as the point of attachment of the upper limbs to the body.
• The upper limb consists of the arm, the forearm, and the wrist and hand.
• The pelvic girdle is responsible for bearing the weight of the body and is
responsible for locomotion; it is also responsible for attaching the lower limbs to
the body.
• The lower limbs, including the thighs, legs, and feet, support the entire weight of
the body and absorb the resulting forces from locomotion.

The Musculoskeletal System > Bone
Bone
• Compact bone is the hard external layer of all bones that protects, strengthens,
and surrounds the medullary cavity filled with marrow.
• Cylindrical structures, called osteons, are aligned along lines of the greatest
stress to the bone in order to resist bending or fracturing.
• Spongy or cancellous bone tissue consists of trabeculae that are arranged as
rods or plates with red bone marrow in between.
• Spongy bone is prominent in regions where the bone is less dense and at the
ends of long bones where the bone has to be more compressible due to stresses
that arrive from many directions.

Cell Types in Bones and Development of Bone
• Osteogenic cells are the only bone cells that divide.
• Osteogenic cells differentiate and develop into osteoblasts which, in turn, are
responsible for forming new bone.
• Osteoblasts synthesize and secrete a collagen matrix and calcium salts.
• When the area surrounding an osteoblast calcifies, the osteoblast becomes
trapped and transforms into an osteocyte, the most common and mature type of
bone cell.
• Osteoclasts, the cells that break down and reabsorb bone, stem from monocytes
and macrophages rather than osteogenic cells..
Bone cell types
View on Boundless.com
• There is a continual balance between osteoblasts generating new bone and
osteoclasts breaking down bone.

The Musculoskeletal System > Bone
Intramembranous Ossification
• The ossification of the flat bones of the skull, the mandible, and the clavicles
begins with mesenchymal cells, which then differentiate into calcium-secreting
and bone matrix-secreting osteoblasts.
• Osteoids form spongy bone around blood vessels, which is later remodeled into a
thin layer of compact bone.
• During enchondral ossification, the cartilage template in long bones is calcified;
dying chondrocytes provide space for the development of spongy bone and the
bone marrow cavity in the interior of the long bones.
• The periosteum, an irregular connective tissue around bones, aids in the
attachment of tissues, tendons, and ligaments to the bone.
Process of endochondral ossification
View on Boundless.com
• Until adolescence, lengthwise long bone growth occurs in secondary ossification
centers at the epiphyseal plates (growth plates) near the ends of the bones.

The Musculoskeletal System > Bone
Growth of Bone
• The epiphyseal plate, the area of growth composed of four zones, is where
cartilage is formed on the epiphyseal side while cartilage is ossified on the
diaphyseal side, thereby lengthening the bone.
• Each of the four zones has a role in the proliferation, maturation, and calcification
of bone cells that are added to the diaphysis.
• The longitudinal growth of long bones continues until early adulthood at which
time the chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate stop proliferating and the
epiphyseal plate transforms into the epiphyseal line as bone replaces the
cartilage.
Longitudinal bone growth
• Bones can increase in diameter even after longitudinal growth has stopped.
View on Boundless.com
• Appositional growth is the process by which old bone that lines the medullary
cavity is reabsorbed and new bone tissue is grown beneath the periosteum,
increasing bone diameter.

The Musculoskeletal System > Bone
Bone Remodeling and Repair
• Bone replacement involves the osteoclasts which break down bone and the
osteoblasts which make new bone.
• Bone turnover rates differ depending on the bone and the area within the bone.
• There are four stages in the repair of a broken bone: 1) the formation of
hematoma at the break, 2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, 3) the
formation of a bony callus, and 4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.
• Proper bone growth and maintenance requires many vitamins (D, C, and A),
minerals (calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium), and hormones (parathyroid
hormone, growth hormone, and calcitonin).

The Musculoskeletal System > Joints and Skeletal Movement
Classification of Joints on the Basis of Structure and Function
• Fibrous joints contain fibrous connective tissue and cannot move; fibrous joints
include sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses.
• Cartilaginous joints contain cartilage and allow very little movement; there are two
types of cartilaginous joints: synchondroses and symphyses.
• Synovial joints are the only joints that have a space (a synovial cavity filled with
fluid) between the adjoining bones.
• The presence of synovial fluid and an articular capsule give synovial joints the
greatest range of movement among the three joint types; however they are the
weakest of the joint types.
Sutures
• Based on function, joints can be divided into synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and

diarthroses.
• Synarthrosis joints include fibrous joints; amphiarthrosis joints include
cartilaginous joints; diarthrosis joints include synovial joints.

The Musculoskeletal System > Joints and Skeletal Movement
Movement at Synovial Joints
• Gliding movements occur as relatively flat bone surfaces move past each other,
but they produce very little movement of the bones.
• Angular movements are produced when the angle between the bones of a joint
changes; they include flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction,
and circumduction.
• Rotational movement involves moving the bone around its longitudinal axis; this
can be movement toward the midline of the body (medial rotation) or away from
the midline of the body (lateral rotation).
• Special movements are all the other movements that cannot be classified as
gliding, angular, or rotational; these movements include inversion, eversion,

protraction, and retraction.
• Other special movements include elevation, depression, supination, and
pronation.

The Musculoskeletal System > Joints and Skeletal Movement
Types of Synovial Joints
• Planar joints have bones with articulating surfaces that are flat or slightly curved,
allowing for limited movement; pivot joints consist of the rounded end of one bone
fitting into a ring formed by the other bone to allow rotational movement.
• Hinge joints act like the hinge of a door; the slightly-rounded end of one bone fits
into the slightly-hollow end of the other bone; one bone remains stationary.
• Condyloid joints consist of an oval-shaped end of one bone fitting into a similarly
oval-shaped hollow of another bone to allow angular movement along two axes.
• Saddle joints include concave and convex portions that fit together and allow
angular movement; ball-and-socket joints include a rounded, ball-like end of one

of motion.
• Rheumatologists diagnose and treat joint disorders, which include rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoporosis.
• Immune cells enter joints and the synovium, causing cartilage breakdown,
swelling, and inflammation of the joint lining, which breaks down cartilage,
resulting in bones rubbing against each other, causing pain.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Introduction
• Muscle cells contract when protein filaments of actin and myosin slide past one
another, changing both the length and shape of the cell.
• Muscle contractions are responsible for animal locomotion, whether running,
swimming, or flying.
• Skeletal muscle tissue is striated, contracts voluntarily, and is responsible for
locomotion.
• Smooth muscle tissue in involuntary and controls organ contractions, including
the movement of food through the digestive system.
• Cardiac muscle tissue is involuntary, found only in the heart, and is distinguished
by the presence of intercalated discs.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Skeletal Muscle Fiber Structure
• Muscles are composed of long bundles of myocytes or muscle fibers.
• Myofibrils, the basic rod-like subunit of muscle cells, are composed of long
proteins that lie parallel to the muscle fibers.
• Sarcomeres are repeating subunits of thin and thick protein fibers within
myofibrils, from one Z line to the next Z line.
• Myofilaments are composed of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments, which
interact to cause muscle contractions.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Sliding Filament Model of Contraction
• ATP activates myosin, bringing it to a higher energy state, ready to form crossbridges with the thin actin filament.
• Myosin acts as a molecular ratchet by binding to an actin filament and changing
shape, thereby pulling the actin filament toward the A-band.
• ATP binds again, destabilizing the myosin filament and enabling it to bind to
another site along the actin filament, increasing the strength of contraction.
• All the myosin heads contract simultaneously, shortening all the sarcomeres,
causing the muscle to contract.
• The myosin heads pull the A-band toward the Z-lines at the end of each
sarcomere, shortening the length of the I-band.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
ATP and Muscle Contraction
• ATP prepares myosin for binding with actin by moving it to a higher-energy state
and a "cocked" position.
• Once the myosin forms a cross-bridge with actin, the Pi disassociates and the
myosin undergoes the power stroke, reaching a lower energy state when the
sarcomere shortens.
• ATP must bind to myosin to break the cross-bridge and enable the myosin to
rebind to actin at the next muscle contraction.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Regulatory Proteins
• Tropomyosin covers the actin binding sites, preventing myosin from forming
cross-bridges while in a resting state.
• When calcium binds to troponin, the troponin changes shape, removing
tropomyosin from the binding sites.
• The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium ions, which it releases when a muscle
cell is stimulated; the calcium ions then enable the cross-bridge muscle
contraction cycle.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Excitation–Contraction Coupling
• A motor neuron connects to a muscle at the neuromuscular junction, where a
synaptic terminal forms a synaptic cleft with a motor-end plate.
• The neurotransmitter acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft, causing the
depolarization of the sarcolemma.
• The depolarization of the sarcolemma stimulates the sarcoplasmic reticulum to
release Ca2+, which causes the muscle to contract.

The Musculoskeletal System > Muscle Contraction and Locomotion
Control of Muscle Tension
• The more cross-bridges that are formed, the more tension in the muscle.
• The amount of tension produced depends on the cross-sectional area of the
muscle fiber and the frequency of neural stimulation.
• Maximal tension occurs when thick and thin filaments overlap to the greatest
degree within a sarcomere; less tension is produced when the sarcomere is
stretched.
• If more motor neurons are stimulated, more myofibers contract, and there is
greater tension in the muscle.

Longitudinal bone growth
The epiphyseal plate is responsible for longitudinal bone growth.This illustration shows the zones bordering the epiphyseal plate of the epiphysis.The
topmost layer of the epiphysis is the reserve zone.The second zone, the proliferative zone, is where chondrocytes are continually undergoing
mitosis.The next zone is the zone of maturation and hypertrophy where lipids, glycogen, and alkaline phosphatase accumulate, causing the cartilaginous
matrix to calcify.The following zone is the calcified matrix where the chondrocytes have hardened and die as the matrix around them has calcified.The
bottom-most row is the zone of ossification which is part of the metaphysis.The newly-deposited bone tissue at the top of the zone of ossification is
called the primary spongiosa, while the older bone is labeled the secondary spongiosa.

Angular and rotational movements
Synovial joints give the body many ways in which to move.(a)–(b) Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of
motion.These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, metatarsophalangeal, and interphalangeal
joints.(c)–(d) Anterior bending of the head or vertebral column is flexion, while any posterior movement of the head is extension.(e) Abduction and
adduction are motions of the limbs, hand, fingers, or toes in the coronal (medial–lateral) plane of movement.Moving the limb or hand laterally away from
the body, or spreading the fingers or toes, is abduction.Adduction brings the limb or hand toward or across the midline of the body or brings the fingers or
toes together.Circumduction is the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction,
extension, and abduction motions.Adduction/abduction and circumduction take place at the shoulder, hip, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, and
metatarsophalangeal joints.(f) Turning of the head side to side or twisting of the body is rotation.Medial and lateral rotation of the upper limb at the
