6.2 Bone Structure
• Bones are composed of a number of tissues
– Bone tissue is the bulk of each bone
• There are four basic types of bone based on
shape
–
–
–
–
Long bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones
• Structure of a Long
Bone
– Epiphysis
– Articular cartilage
– Diaphysis
– Medullary cavity
– Endosteum
– Epiphyseal disk
– Periosteum
• Spongy bone
– Interior of small
bones, skull bones,
and epiphyses
– Consists of
trabeculae and
spaces filled with
red bone marrow
– Reduces bone
weight without
reducing strength
• Compact bone
– Wall of diaphysis
and surface of
diaphysis
– Tightly packed
tissue with no
spaces
– Strong and gives
supportive strength
• Microscopic Structure
– Bone cells lie inside lacunae
– Compact bone
•
•
•
•
•
Osteons
Osteonic canals
Lamellae
Foramen
Canaliculi
– Spongy bone
• Lack osteons
• Receive nutrients by diffusion through canaliculi
6.3 Bone Formation
• Ossification is the process of bone
formation during the 6th or 7th week of
embryonic life
• Two types of bone formation
– Intramembranous ossification
– Endochondral ossification
• For both types of bone formation
– Primitive connective tissue cells become
osteoblasts
– Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix around
them
– Once trapped in matrix, osteoblasts
become osteocytes
• Intramembranous Ossification
– Forms most skull bones
– Steps involved
• Connective tissue membranes form at sites of
future intramembranous bones
• Some cells become osteoblasts
• Osteoblasts deposit spongy bone beginning at
center of bone
• Osteoblasts form layer of compact bone atop
the spongy bone
• To produce the correct bone shape
– Use osteoclasts to remove bone matrix
– Use osteoblasts to reform new bone matrix
• Endochondral Ossification
– Forms most bones of the body
– Example: long bones
– Steps involved
• Bones are preformed in hyaline cartilage
• Primary ossification center forms in center of
cartilage
• Periosteal osteoblasts form a compact bone
collar around primary ossification center
• Cartilage in the primary center calcifies and
chondrocytes die
• Blood vessels and nerves penetrate the center,
bring osteoblasts with them
• Osteoblasts form spongy bone at the primary
ossification center
• Secondary ossification center forms in the
epiphyses
• Osteoclasts remove the spongy bone and form
the medullary cavity
• Bone continues to grow
• At the end of the process, the epiphyseal plate
separates the epiphyses from the diaphysis
– Continued growth in diameter due to
formation of compact bone beneath the
periosteum
– Continued growth in length takes place
at the epiphyseal disk
• Cartilage grows on the epiphyseal side
• Cartilage is converted into bone on the
diaphysis side
– Osteoblasts and osteoclasts
continually reshape the bone as it
grows
– Bone growth in length continues until
age 25
• Epiphyseal plate is completely replaced
by bone
• Epiphyseal line is all that remains
• Homeostasis of Bone
– Bone is continually remodeled due to
activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts
– Remodeling can be affected by
• Physical activity
• Dietary calcium intake
• Age
6.4 Divisions of the Skeleton
• Skeleton is divided into two divisions
– Axial skeleton
• Bones along the longitudinal axis of the body

6.7 Articulations
• An articulation is a joint or junction

• Joints allow for varying degrees of
movement
• Three categories of joints
– Immovable
– Slightly movable
– Freely movable
• Immovable Joints (synarthrosis)
– Bones are tightly joined and separated by
thin fibrous connective tissue
– No movement at the joint
– Example: sutures
• Slightly Movable Joints
(amphiarthrosis)
– Bones separated by layer of cartilage or
fibrous connective tissue
– Limited flexibility
– Example: joints between vertebrae
• Freely Movable
Joints
(diarthrosis)
– Joints are freely
movable
– Structurally
more complex
– Several types of
freely movable
joints
– Gliding Joints
• Involve sliding of bones across each
other
• Example: carpal and tarsal bones
– Condyloid Joints
• Allow movement from side to side and
back and forth
• Example: between carpals and bones of
forearm
– Hinge Joints
• Allow movement
in one direction
only
• Example: knee
and elbow joints
– Saddle Joints
• Ends of each bone are saddle shaped
• Movement is side to side and back and
forth
• Example: joint between trapezium and
metacarpal of thumb
– Pivot Joints
• Allow rotational movement
• Example: atlas on the axis
– Ball-and-Socket
Joints
• A rounded head of
one bone fits into
a concavity on
another bone
• Movement may be
rotational or in any
plane
• Example: hip and
shoulder joint
– Movements at Freely Movable Joints
• Movement is caused by contraction of
muscles that span the joint
• Movement depends upon joint type and
location of muscle(s) involved
6.8 Disorders of the Skeletal
System
• Common disorders can be characterized
as
– Disorders of bones
– Disorders of joints
• Orthopedics
– Branch of medicine that specializes in treating
skeletal disease and abnormalities
Disorders of Bones
• Fractures: broken bones
– Complete: The break is completely through the
bone.
– Compound: A broken bone pierces the skin.
– Simple: A bone does not pierce the skin.
– Comminuted: The bone is broken into several
pieces.
– Segmental: Only one piece is broken out of the
bone.
– Spiral: The fracture line spirals around the bone.
– Oblique: The break angles across the bone.
– Transverse: The break is at right angles to the
long axis of the bone.
– Incomplete: The bone is not broken completely
through.
– Green stick: The break is only on one side of the
bone, and the bone is bowed.
– Fissured: The break is a lengthwise split in the
bone.
• Osteomyelitis
– Inflammation of bone and bone marrow
due to bacterial infection
• Osteoporosis
– Weakening of bone due to loss of calcium
salts
– Common in older people, especially
postmenopausal women
– Caused by inactivity and decrease in
hormone production
• Rickets
– Childhood disease
– Due to deficiency of calcium salts in bones
– Dietary deficiency in calcium or Vitamin D
– Children have a bowlegged appearance
Disorders of Joints
• Arthritis
– Characterized by inflammation, swelling, and pain
– Rheumatoid arthritis
• Most painful and crippling type
• Result is ossification of joint, making it
immovable
• Auto-immune dissorder
– Osteoarthritis
• Most common type
• Loss of articular cartilage makes movement
restricted and painful
• Bursitis
– Inflammation of bursa
• Dislocation
– Displacement of bones forming the joint
• Herniated disk
– Intervertebral disc protrudes out beyond vertebrae
– Caused by excessive pressure
– May apply pressure to nerves
