  1. Chapter 7 Notes Skeletal System: Tissue and physiology Skeletal tissue is the most distinctive form of connective tissue.

  2. Functions of Skeletal Tissue • Support • Ex. Arch of foot, vertebral column, etc. • Protection • Ex. Skull protects the brain, rib cage protects lungs and heart. • Movement • Occurs with the help of joints - act as levers • Muscle contraction pulls on bones = movement

  3. Functions of Skeletal Tissue • Mineral reservoir • Calcium • Homeostasis of blood calcium levels • Hemopoiesis - blood cell formation • Occurs in red bone marrow • chest • spinal column in adults • base of skull • upper arm and thigh • In infants or child, all bone marrow is red. ADULTS

  4. Bone Shapes • Long bone- consists of 6 parts. Ex. femur, humerus • Short bone- ex. Carpals = fingers and toes • Flat Bone– scapula = back (shoulder blade) • Irregular bone- vertebrae

  5. Structure of Long Bone • Diaphysis • Main shaft • Strong support • Hollow = decrease in weight

  6. Structure of Long Bone • Epiphysis • Ends of long bone • Bulbous shape allows for muscle attachment and gives stability to joints • Contains spongy tissue • contains marrow - red or yellow Spongy bone Compact bone

  7. Structure of Long Bone • Articular cartilage • Covers joint surface of epiphysis • Cushions jars and blows

  8. Structure of Long Bone • Periosteum • Dense fibrous membrane • Covers bone except at joints • Tedons interlace with and anchor muscles • Contain many blood vessels (connects with haversian canal) • Osteoblasts (bone forming cells) compose inner layer

  9. Structure of Long Bone • Medullary Canal • Tube of diaphysis • Contains marrow • Endosteum • Membrane • Lines medullary cavity of long bone

  10. Long Bone Anatomy http://kidshealth.org/misc/movie/bodybasics/bone.html

  11. Haversian System • Identifies microscopic structure of compact bone in the diaphysis

  12. Haversian System Structure • Lamellae (Lah-Mel-e) • cylinder shaped layers of calcified matrix (non-living) • Lacunae (la-Kew-nah) • small spaces • contains tissue fluid where bone cells (osteocytes) live • imprisoned between lamellae

  13. Haversian System Structure • Canaliculi (Ka-NALi-ku-li) • ultra small canals • radiates out from lacunae to connect each other • connects also to haversian canal • Haversian canal • Contains blood vessels and lymphatic tissue • Gives nutrients to lacunae through canaliculi • Gives nutrients to osteocytes

  14. Haversian System

  15. Bone Development and Growth • Osteogenesis -the process of bone formation • At 12 weeks the skeleton has formed-made of cartilage and fibrous tissue.

  16. Bone Development and Growth • Fontanels - "soft spots" of an infant's skull

  17. Osteogensis • Intramembranous Development • Prebone structure of skull and mandible • Takes place within connective tissue • Connective tissue enlarges to form osteoblasts - bone forming cells. • Bone matrix is formed • Matrix is calcified by deposits of calcium and salts. • Flat bones grow by adding to their outside boarders.

  18. Osteogensis Continued • Endochondral (all other bones) • Begin as cartilage • Cartilage develops periosteum - enlarges into a ring • Cartilage calcifies • Ossification, hardening of bone, progresses toward each epiphysis. • During bone growth, ephiphyseal cartilage remains between ends and shaft = growth plate.

  19. Osteogensis Continued Major stages (a-d fetal, e child, f adult) in the development of the endochondral bone.

  20. Bone Growth • Diameter • Osteoclasts - enlarge diameter of medullary cavity by eating away wall. • Osteoblasts - build new bone at periosteum • Occurs throughout life

  21. Bone Growth Continued • Childhood • Bone ossification is greater than bone resorption (decomposition) = taller • Adulthood • Bone ossification and resorption equal one another. • At 35-40, bone ossification decreases and resorption is greater. • Become hollow • Vertebrae collapse = height decrease • Brittle bones = death

  22. Bone Growth

  23. Bone Fracture • Bone Fracture - break in continuity of bone. • Types • Simple - skin remains unbroken • Compound - broken ends protrude through skin • Easily infected - osteomyelitis

  24. Bone Fractures Continued • A complete fracture is when the bone has broken into two pieces. • A greenstick fracture is when the bone cracks on one side only, not all the way through. • A single fracture is when the bone is broken in one place. • A comminuted (say: kah-muh-noot-ed) fracture is when the bone is broken into more than two pieces or crushed. • A bowing fracture, which only happens in kids, is when the bone bends but doesn't break • An open fracture is when the bone is sticking through the skin.

  25. Bone Fractures Continued

  26. Bone Fractures Continued • Repair - fracture healing • Damage to blood vessels begins repair sequence. • Dead bone is removed by osteoclasts-resorption. • Osteoclasts used as framework for repair tissue called callus. • Callus tissue bonds broken ends of bone outside. • Callus tissue binds medullary cavity. • Callus tissue is molded and replaced with bone. • Electrically induced osteogenesis - uses electrical stimuli to heal fractures.

  27. Bone Fractures Continued • Major steps in the repair of a fracture.

  28. Osteoporosis • Loss of calcified matrix & callogenous fibers. • Occurs most frequently in elderly, white females. • Decrease levels of estrogen and testosterone. • Decreased osteoblast activity • Decreased maintenance of existing bone • Bone Degeneration • Spontaneous fractures • Curvature of the spine • Treatment • Estrogen therapy - after menopause • Dietary supplement of calcium and vitamin D.

  29. Cartilage • Cartilage - connective tissue • Types • Hyaline • Elastic Cartilage • Fibrocartilage

  30. Hyaline • Most abundant • Semi-transparent-bluish, opalescent • Covers articular surface of bone • Forms ends of ribs that join to sternum • Forms rings in trachea, bronchi of lungs, & nose

  31. Elastic Cartilage • Elasticity and firmness • Fibers form to external ear, epiglottis, tubes in ear, nasal cavity • Yellowish in color

  32. Fibrocartilage • Greatest tensile strength • Intervertebral disks, point of attachment of some large tendons to bones.

  33. Structure of Cartilage • Chondrocytes - cartilage cells. • Avascular - contain no blood vessels. • Receive oxygen and nutrients through diffusion. • Increase of collagenous fibers and matrix embedded in a gel (not calcified).

  34. Function of Cartilage • Shock absorption • Resists collapse of passageways • Allows bone growth
