Functions of the Skeletal System

1) Support


2) Protection


3) Mineral Storage


4) Triglyceride storage (yellow marrow)


5) red/white blood cell formation


6) leverage (assistance in movement)

2 Divisions of the Skeletal System

Axial: skull, spine, thoracic cage


Appendicular: legs and arms

Anatomy of a long bone

Epiphysis


Metaphysis


Diaphysis


Edosteum: inner surface lining of bone marrow cavity, traveculae of spongey bone, canals of compact bone. Contains osteogenic cells.


Periosteum: Connective membrane tissue covering external, attached to bone matrix via perforating fibers, 1) outer fibrous, 2) inner osteogenic




Osteogenic Cells

stem cells formed from mesenchyme.


Mitosis > daughter cells Differentiation > osteoblasts


Osteoblasts

build bone, synthesize organic components, initiate calcification (taking calcium from blood and deposit into matrix)

Osteocytes

Mature cells involved in maintenance of bone. Senses micro damage and mechanical forces on bone then sends signals for repair. Housed in lacuna.

Osteoclast

Breaks down bone, release proteolytic enzymes and acids to degrade collagen and release minerals into blood. Derived from myeloid cells.

Organic Components of Bone Matrix

Osteoblasts secretion


Ground substance: glycoproteins-GAG


Type 1 Collagen: fibrous protein arranges in helical form. Resistant to pulling forces, provides flexibility and framework

Inorganic Components of Bone Matrix

25% water (attracted to ground substance)


Hydroxyapatite (calcium minerals and ions)


Forms mineral plates that fill spaces within collagen fibers, provides firmness.

Component Hierarchy

Osteoblasts > Tropocollagen (triple helix) > microfibril > fibril > fiber > lamella > osteon/tribecullae > compact bone/spongey bone > bone

Bone Modeling

Bones form through osteoblasts without prior bone resorption.


Occurs during growth, produces change in bone size/shape

Bone Remodeling

Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts and then new Bone is built. Maintenance of bone strength.

Spongey Bone

Irregular lattice of trabeculae


Epiphysis of Long bones, surrounding marrow cavities


Flat, short, irregular bones


Withstand forces in many directions (trabeculae arrangement), lightens skeleton, red marrow for hemopoesis


More metabolically active than compact

Compact Bone

Network of Bone organized into concentric rings (osteons), alternating twisting of collagen between layers


External layer of all bones, diaphysis of Long bones


Gives Long bones ability to withstand forces along longitudinal axis

Long bone

More length than width


Humerus, femur

Short bone

Square/trapezoidal


Carpals

Flat bone

Sternum, ribs

Irregular Bones

Vertebrae

Sesamoid bones

Seed shaped in mostly in soft tissue


Patella

Activation

Preosteoclasts are stimulated and differentiate under the influence of cytokines and growth factors into mature osteoclasts

Resorption

Osteoclasts digest mineral Matrix (old bone)

Reversal

End of resorption; recruitment of osteoblasts

Formation

Osteoblasts synthesize new bone matrix

Quiescence

Osteoblasts become resting bone lining cells on new surface

Intramembranous Ossification

Mesenchyme to Bone


Cranial bones, mandible, sternum, and clavicle


Heterotropic bone formation

Endochondral Step 4

Osteoblasts form bone on the outer surface of the model

Endochondral Step 5

Osteoblasts create primary Ossification center


Bone replaced Cartilage

Endochondral Step 6

Osteoclasts create marrow cavity

Endochondral Step 7

Spongey bone remodeled to compact bone

Endochondral Step 8

Around birth, a secondary Ossification center forms

Endochondral Step 9

Spongey bone replaces Cartilage at the epiphysis with the exception of epiphyseal plates and articulate Cartilage

Ossification

Replacement of connective tissue with bone

Calcification

Deposition of calcium

Primary Ossification

Marrow cavity formed, replaces Cartilage with bone, located in the diaphysis, occurs before birth

Secondary Ossification

No marrow cavity, Cartilage is left for epiphyseal plates and articular cartilage, located in epiphysis, occurs around time of birth

Heterotropic bone formation

Occurs where bone doesn’t naturally occur (sesamoid bones)

Interstitial Growth

Occurs within the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate and increases length

Steps of Interstitial Growth

1) Chondrocytes build matrix and differentiate into cytes


2) chondrocytes divide


3) chondrocytes build matrix and spread apart


4) Cartilage grows from within

Growth at the Epiphyseal Plate

Diaphyseal osteoclasts break down cartilage


Osteoclasts lay down spongey bone


Chondrocytes continue to form cartilage


Growth in length stops when the osteoclasts/blasts work faster than the chondrocytes in the proliferating zone


Epiphyseal plate closes

Appositional Growth

Growth at the outer surface, increase in width

Appositional Growth Steps

1) periosteal osteogenic cells differentiate into blasts (ridges in periosteum create groove for vessel)


2) blasts build bone on outer surface of diameter of marrow cavity (ridges fuse, endosteum lined tunnel)


3) bone diameter, cortical width, and medullary cavity increases (osteoblasts in endosteum build new concentric lamellae)

Intramembranous Step 1

Development of ossification center.


Mesenchyme cells differentiate into osteogenic cells, then into osteoblasts, osteoblasts secrete Bone Matrix.

Intramembranous Step 2

Calcification


Osteoblasts deposit calcium into the matrix and differentiate into osteocytes

Intramembranous Step 3

Formation of trabeculae (spongey bone)

Intramembranous Step 4

Development of periosteum


Remodeling of spongey bone into compact bone

Endochondral Ossification

Mesenchyme to Cartilage to bone


Most bones in the body


Primary and secondary Ossification

Endochondral Step 1

Cartilage model forms


Mesenchyme cells into chondroblasts

Endochondral Step 2

Growth of Cartilage model


Interstitial = length


Appositional = width

Endochondral Step 3

Blood vessels penetrate model and stimulate differentiation of osteogenic cells into osteoblasts

Traumatic Fracture

Normal bone with abnormal fractures

Bone Repair Steps

1: nearby bone cells die which leads to swelling and inflammation, phagocytes/osteoclasts remove damaged tissue


2: blood vessels grow into hematoma, mesenchyme differentiates, growth of Cartilage and collagen, to produce spongey bone


3. Bone remodeling

Open Reduction

Surgical rods

Closed Reduction

Natural healing with splinting and setting
