TYPES OF BONES • LONG: humerus • SHORT: carpals • FLAT: frontal bone • IRREGULAR: vertebrae
Categorizing bones developmentally… • Endochondral • develop from pieces of cartilage deposited as sheets of tissue in embryo • Face, appendages • Dermal • Formed from sheets of fibrous connective tissue • Clavicle, scapula, flat cranial bones
Alveolar • Teeth • Specialized groupings of bone cells • Sesamoid • Form within tendons due to stress on tendon • Patella, pisiform, various metacarpal, metatarsal bones
Wormian • Small, irregular, isolated; develop within sutures
Periosteum • “To surround the bone” • Fibrous membrane, covers surface of the bone EXCEPT at the joint surfaces. • Contains nerves and blood vessels • Nutrition, sensation • This is where the tendons & ligaments attach to the bone.
Red marrow spaces (surrounded by trabeculae) YellowMarrow
Epiphysis • At the end of each bone • Made of cancellous or spongy bone • Network of bone called trabeculae • Spaces contain red marrow • Site of hematopoiesis (blood cell production) • Outer surface is compact bone • Within joints, surfaces covered with hyaline articular cartilage
Epiphysial Plate • Also called the “growth plate”; • indicates that additional bone growth is possible • Site of bone elongation • Ossifies over time • then callledepiphysial line
Diaphysis • “to grow apart” • Hollow Tube • Made of compact bone: organized into osteons • Rigid but light
Medullary Cavity • Hollow area inside diaphysis • Bordered by spongy bone • Lined by a thin membrane called the endosteum • Capable of generating new bone cells • Adults: contains soft, yellow bone marrow • Mostly adipose tissue • Food reserve for bone cells • Children: more red marrow
Two kinds of bone Cancellous/Trabecular (Spongy) • 80% of bone • many spaces filled with marrow Compact (cortical) • 20% of skeleton structure • 80% of skeletal weight • Structural unit = osteon
The Osteon The structural unit of bone
The OSTEON: Found in compact bone • Matrix is organized into numerous structural units called osteons or Haversian systems. • Consists of calcified matrix arranged in concentric rings called concentric lamellae
The Osteon • The rings surround an opening called the Central (Haversian) Canal • Canal contains blood, lymph vessels and nerves
The Osteon • Mature bone cells = osteocytes • Secrete bone matrix • Composed of collagen fibers and protein (osteocalcin) • The cell resides in a space called a lacuna • Canals, called canaliculi, connect the osteocytes to one another
More on the Osteon • Nutrients pass • from the blood vessel in the central canal • through the canaliculi • to the osteocytes
The Osteon • Central canals are connected by a horizontal blood vessel housed within the Volkmann’s Canals
Classification: • Structural • Tissue composition, structural complexity • Cartilaginous, fibrous, synovial • Functional • Type of movement allowed • Synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, diarthrotic
Bursa – Accessory Structure • Sac-like space made of fibrous tissue • Synovial fluid • thick, lubricating fluid • Nourishes, protects joints and surface • Secreted by epithelial cells • Found in articular areas where rubbing between skin, muscle, ligaments, or bones could occur • Can become inflamed/damaged = bursitis
Synarthrotic Joint (Immovable Joints) Fibrous Joint • Produce NO movement • Bone connected to bone by fibrous tissue • Purpose: to securely hold two bones together • Include • Sutures of the skull (synostoses/sutures) • Skull to teeth (gomphosis) • Tibia and fibula (syndemosis)
Amphiarthrotic Joint (Semi-movable) Cartilaginous • Bone connects to bone via cartilage • Allows slight movement • Includes • Pubic symphisis • Vertebrae
Diarthrotic/Synovial Joint • Allows much movement; joint cavity lined by synovial membranes • Some types • Ball & Socket: Shoulder, Hip • Hinge: Knee, Shoulder • Pivot: Atlas/Axis • Gliding: Between carpal bones, between tarsal bones • Saddle: thumb • Ellipsoid/Condyloid: wrist
Osteowhat? The first crystals of bone that form are pointed and needle-like: called spicules. • Osteoblasts secrete a mineralized matrix • Once the osteoblast is surrounded by its matrix, it’s called an osteocyte, a bone cell. • Osteoclasts break down bone.
Ossification • Conversion of embryonic tissues into recognizable bone • 2 ways: • Endochondral • Long bones • Intramembranous • Flat bones • Combination – irregular bones
Ossification • Mesodermal cells form cartilage centers • Cartilage pegs form • Restructured, filled with hydroxylapatite (calcification) • Pegs formed by fibroblasts • Osteoblasts and osteoclasts sculpt growing bones
An osteoclast in action. Here an osteoclasts is eroding bone. The capsule formed by such action is called a Howship's capsule (H). Similar to the cell of the gut, osteoclasts have a ruffled border which increases the surface area for bone resorption.
Direction of Long Bone Growth • Epiphyseal plate made of hyaline cartilage is responsible for long bone growth. • The direction of growth is toward the diaphysis • The newly forming spongy bone (below the growth plate) is not clearly organized as the older spongy bone in the epiphysis above the growth plate.
Fontanelles – soft spots • Regions of flat bone not fully ossified • Completed during teenage years
Fractures • Bone is cracked/splintered due to physical injury • Categorized by severity of break/angle at which break occurs
Simple: • Crack in bone structure • May not be readily noticeable • Some large; may involve bleeding, pain, swelling • Greenstick fractures • One side frayed from fracture; other twisted, but not broken
Compound/comminuted • Large fracture • One (more) area is displaced, shattered • Bleeding, swelling • Open • Tearing of skin occurs; easily infected
Angle of break • Transverse (horizontal) • Oblique (angle) • Spiral (twisted) • Angulation – bone changes overall shape • For healing to occur, blood accumulation must occur
Healing stages • Fracture • Granulation • Callus • Lamellar bone • Normal contour
