• Bones and Skeletal Tissues

2
Skeletal Cartilage

• Contains no blood vessels or nerves
• Surrounded by the perichondrium (dense irregular
  connective tissue) that resists outward expansion
• Three types hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage

3
Hyaline Cartilage

• Provides support, flexibility, and resilience
• Is the most abundant skeletal cartilage
• Is present in these cartilages
• Articular covers the ends of long bones
• Costal connects the ribs to the sternum
• Respiratory makes up larynx, reinforces air
  passages
• Nasal supports the nose

4
Elastic Cartilage

• Similar to hyaline cartilage, but contains
  elastic fibers
• Found in the external ear and the epiglottis

5
Fibrocartilage

• Highly compressed with great tensile strength
• Contains collagen fibers
• Found in menisci of the knee and in
  intervertebral discs

Classification of Bones

• Axial skeleton bones of the skull, vertebral
  column, and rib cage
• Appendicular skeleton bones of the upper and
  lower limbs, shoulder, and hip

8
Classification of Bones By Shape

• Long bones longer than they are wide (e.g.,
  humerus)

Figure 6.2a
9
Classification of Bones By Shape

• Short bones
• Cube-shaped bones of the wrist and ankle
• Bones that form within tendons (e.g., patella)

Figure 6.2b
10
Classification of Bones By Shape

• Flat bones thin, flattened, and a bit curved
  (e.g., sternum, and most skull bones)

Figure 6.2c
11
Classification of Bones By Shape

• Irregular bones bones with complicated shapes
  (e.g., vertebrae and hip bones)

12
Function of Bones

• Support form the framework that supports the
  body and cradles soft organs
• Protection provide a protective case for the
  brain, spinal cord, and vital organs
• Movement provide levers for muscles

13
Function of Bones

• Mineral storage reservoir for minerals,
  especially calcium and phosphorus
• Blood cell formation hematopoiesis occurs
  within the marrow cavities of bones

14
Bone Markings

• Bulges, depressions, and holes that serve as
• Sites of attachment for muscles, ligaments, and
  tendons
• Joint surfaces
• Conduits for blood vessels and nerves

15
Bone Markings Projections Sites of Muscle and
Ligament Attachment

• Tuberosity rounded projection
• Crest narrow, prominent ridge of bone
• Trochanter large, blunt, irregular surface
• Line narrow ridge of bone

16
Bone Markings Projections Sites of Muscle and
Ligament Attachment

• Tubercle small rounded projection
• Epicondyle raised area above a condyle
• Spine sharp, slender projection
• Process any bony prominence

17
Bone Markings Projections Projections That
Help to Form Joints

• Head bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
• Facet smooth, nearly flat articular surface
• Condyle rounded articular projection
• Ramus armlike bar of bone

18
Bone Markings Depressions and Openings

• Meatus canal-like passageway
• Sinus cavity within a bone
• Fossa shallow, basin-like depression
• Groove furrow
• Fissure narrow, slit-like opening
• Foramen round or oval opening through a bone

19
Gross Anatomy of Bones Bone Textures

• Compact bone dense outer layer
• Spongy bone honeycomb of trabeculae filled with
  yellow bone marrow

Structure of Long Bone

• Long bones consist of a diaphysis and an
  epiphysis
• Diaphysis
• Tubular shaft that forms the axis of long bones
• Composed of compact bone that surrounds the
  medullary cavity
• Yellow bone marrow (fat) is contained in the
  medullary cavity

22
Structure of Long Bone

• Epiphyses
• Expanded ends of long bones
• Exterior is compact bone, and the interior is
  spongy bone
• Joint surface is covered with articular (hyaline)
  cartilage
• Epiphyseal line separates the diaphysis from the
  epiphyses

27
Bone Membranes

• Periosteum double-layered protective membrane
• Outer fibrous layer is dense regular connective
  tissue
• Inner osteogenic layer is composed of osteoblasts
  and osteoclasts
• Richly supplied with nerve fibers, blood, and
  lymphatic vessels, which enter the bone via
  nutrient foramina
• Secured to underlying bone by Sharpeys fibers

28
Bone Membranes

• Endosteum delicate membrane covering internal
  surfaces of bone

29
Structure of Short, Irregular, and Flat Bones

• Thin plates of periosteum-covered compact bone on
  the outside with endosteum-covered spongy bone on
  the inside
• Have no diaphysis or epiphyses
• Contain bone marrow between the trabeculae

31
Location of Hematopoietic Tissue (Red Marrow)

• In infants
• Found in the medullary cavity and all areas of
  spongy bone
• In adults
• Found in the diploë of flat bones, and the head
  of the femur and humerus

32
Microscopic Structure of Bone Compact Bone

• Haversian system, or osteon the structural unit
  of compact bone
• Lamella weight-bearing, column-like matrix
  tubes composed mainly of collagen
• Haversian, or central canal central channel
  containing blood vessels and nerves
• Volkmanns canals channels lying at right
  angles to the central canal, connecting blood and
  nerve supply of the periosteum to that of the
  Haversian canal

33
Microscopic Structure of Bone Compact Bone

• Osteocytes mature bone cells
• Lacunae small cavities in bone that contain
  osteocytes
• Canaliculi hairlike canals that connect lacunae
  to each other and the central canal

Chemical Composition of Bone Organic

• Osteoblasts bone-forming cells
• Osteocytes mature bone cells
• Osteoclasts large cells that resorb or break
  down bone matrix

39
Chemical Composition of Bone Inorganic

• Hydroxyapatites, or mineral salts
• Sixty-five percent of bone by mass
• Mainly calcium phosphates
• Responsible for bone hardness and its resistance
  to compression
