Skeleton
Introduction
 Includes all bones of the body (206) and includes
cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
 Cartilage – connective tissue that provides a smooth
surface for bone movement (articulation)
 Ligaments – connective tissue that attaches bone to
bone (ligaments also support abdominal organs)
 Tendons – connective tissue that attaches muscle to
bone
 Serves as a framework for the body
 Composed of living tissue
Functions
 Supports and stabilizes surrounding tissues such
as muscles, blood vessels, nerves, fat, and skin
 Protects vital body organs such as the brain,
spine, heart, and lungs and protects other soft
tissues of the body
 Assists in body movement by providing
attachments for muscles that pull on bones
 Matures blood cells
 Stores mineral salts (e.g., calcium)
Types of Bone Cells
 Osteoprogenitor - Stem
cell that is destined to
become bone
 Osteoblast - Bone
building cell
 Osteocyte - Mature bone
cell
 Osteoclast - Resorption
(breakdown)
Bone Cells
 Osteoprogenitor (osteogenic) Cells:
 Stem cells of skeletal tissue
 Composes the Inner layer of periosteum and the
single layer of endosteum
 Functions: formation of fetal bone and repair of
fractures
 Differentiate into Osteoblasts (good blood supply)
and Chondroblasts (limited blood supply)
Bone Cells
 Osteoblasts:
 form bone matrix
 Develop into osteocytes
 Osteocytes:
 responsible for maintaining bone matrix (develop
from osteoblasts)
 Osteoclasts:
 Breakdown and resorption of bone
 Activated by parathyroid hormone
 Differentiated from blood monocytes
Bone Cells
Growth and Development
 Osseous tissue
 Longitudinal growth occurs until the age of
15-16
 Bone maturation occurs around the age of 21
Embryonic Development of Bone
 Skeleton is initially composed of cartilage and
gradually replaced with bone via two
methods
 Intramembranous Ossification: Develops flat
bones of the cranium, facial bones, Mandible and
clavicle
 Endochondrial Ossification: long bones, etc. (the
rest of the bones) Cartilage > Bone
Embryologic Development
Epiphyseal Plate
 Located at the junction between the
diaphysis and each epiphysis
 Area of growth (allows bone to lengthen)
 Around age 16-25 Epiphyseal plate ossifies
marking full maturity (end of growth)
Epiphyseal Plate
Epiphyseal Plate
Bone Remodeling
 Bones undergo a lifetime of remodeling and adapting to




stress
Remodeling maintains bone structure and strength as
well as ensures constant supply of calcium to the body
Osteoclasts absorb bone that is then replaced by new
compact bone
When low blood calcium levels are detected parathyroid
hormone releases and stimulates the osteoclasts. When
high blood calcium occurs, calcium is stored in bone.
When normal blood calcium levels are reached the
thyroid releases calcitonin. Calcitonin inhibits
osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblasts (negative
feedback loop)
Factors that Affect Bone
Maintinance
 Hormonal influence
 Exercise: weight-bearing exercise is important in maintaining
bone strength
 Osteoporosis: results when bone matrix is lost faster then
replaced
 Nutrition: key factor in maintenance of normal bones
 Scurvy: results form a deficiency in vitamin C, shaft of long
bone becomes thin and fragile predisposing the person to
fractures
 Rickets: results form vitamin D deficiency, causes poorly
calcified, semiriged bones that bend under bodies weight
(bowed legs, knock-knees)
Scurvy
Rickets
Two Types of Bone
1. Cortical - Hard compact bone found in the
shaft of long bones and makes up the outer
layer of all other bones.
2. Cancellous (trabecular) - Soft spongy bone
found at the ends of long bones and at the
center of all other bones.
Compact Bone 75%
Spongy Bone 25%
Bone Types

Skeletal System
Bone Membranes
 Periosteum - Covers the outside of the bone
with the exception of the articulating surface
and contains osteoblasts for bone growth and
repair.
 Endosteum - Lines the marrow cavity and
also contains growth and repair cells.
Periosteum
 Layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds bone
 Functions:
 Layer of defense to protect from infection

surgeon will approximate the periosteal layer when
incised
Periosteum
Medullary Canal

Types of Fractures
Classification of Fractures
 Compound (Open Fracture): fractured bone
pierces the skin
 Simple (Closed Fracture): fracture that does
not pierce the skin
 Complete: fracture line continuous through
bone
 Incomplete (Partial): may bend on one side
and break on the other (ex. Greenstick
fracture)
Classification of Fractures
 Linear: fracture runs parallel to the axis of the
bone
 Spiral: fracture line curves around the bone
 Transverse: fracture line is across the bone
 Pott’s Fracture: break of the lower fibula

fractures on the same side of
the pelvis
 Comminuted: Fracture with
more than two pieces of bone
fragment

broken end of bone
has penetrated skin
exposing bone
Types of Fractures

when bone is driven
inward
 Displaced: bone ends
are out of alignment
Types of Fractures

ends of bone are
forced into eachother

oblique angle across
bone

curves around bone
Types of Fractures
 Simple: fracture is in normal anatomic
position and the skin is not borken
 Spontaneous: occurs without trauma
 Stellate: fracture occurs at central point in
which additional breaks in bone radiate form
the central point
Types of Fractures
 Transverse: horizontal fracture
through the bone
Normal Bone Healing
