Chapter 7 Skeletal System Skeletal System: Bone Functions: Describe the role the skeletal system plays in each of the following functions. Support: Bones support the weight of the body and structures such as the head and face Protection: Bones protect delicate organs such as the brain and spinal cord, heart and lungs muscle attachment – movement: bones act as levers to which muscles are attached blood production: blood cells are produced within red bone marrow store minerals: Minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, etc. are stored in bone matrix What are some of the various tissues that are contained within bone? Bones also contain nerves and blood vessels Long Bone Structure: Expanded ends of bones that form joints with adjacent bones are called _epiphyses___. __articular cartilage________(hyaline cartilage) cover the ends at the joints. The shaft of the bone is called the _diaphysis_. What type of bone makes up the outside of this part? Compact The epiphyseal plate (disc) is the site of bone __growth (in length)____. A tough layer of vascular connective tissue, called the __periosteum____, covers the bone and is continuous with ligaments and tendons. The diaphysis contains a hollow _medullary___ cavity that is lined with __endosteum__ and filled with ___yellow marrow___. What is the function of red marrow? Blood cell production Where is it found? In spongy bone What is yellow marrow? Marrow that functions to store fat Where is it found? The medullary cavities A bone's shape makes possible its function; bony processes or grooves indicate places of attachment for __muscles and tendons______________________. Microscopic Structure Bone cells called ____osteocytes__ are located within spaces called _lacunae____ that lie in concentric circles around __Haversian___ canals that contain blood vessels, and nerves. Osteocytes pass nutrients and wastes back and forth in passageways in the matrix called _canaliculi__________________. The intercellular material consists of __collagen____ and inorganic _salts________________. Describe how the microscopic structure of spongy bone differs from that of compact bone. Spongy Bone: Unlike compact bone, the osteocytes and intercellular material in spongy bone are not arranged around osteonic canals. Rather, they are irregularly arranged and form cross connections called trabeculae 1 Where is spongy bone found? Most bones contain a mixture of compact and spongy bone. Important sites for spongy bone include the skull the ribs, the vertebrae and the sternum compact bone: In compact bone, osteocytes and intercellular material are organized into columns called __osteons________ that are cemented together. Osteonic canals contain blood vessels and nerve fibers, and extend in what direction through bone? Longitudinally Osteonic canals are interconnected by _transverse__ __perforating__canals. Where is compact bone found? Most bones of the body contain a mixture of compact and spongy bone, The diaphysis of a long bone is compact bone, and compact bone covers the epiphyses Bone Development: Bones form by replacing connective tissue in the fetus. Intramembranous bone formation: The flat bones of the skull form as intramembranous bones that develop from layers of ___connective________tissue. Cells called ___osteoblasts___ deposit bony tissue around themselves. Once these cells deposit bone they are enclosed within little compartments called _lacunae____. These cells are then called __osteocytes___. Cells of the membranous connective tissue that lie outside the developing bone give rise to the outer covering, the __periosteum____. What is a fontanel? A soft spot in an infant’s skull where the membrane has not yet completely ossified . . Endochondral bone formation: Most of the bones of the skeleton fall into this category. They first develop as ___hyaline___ _cartilage_ models and are then replaced with bone. Cartilage tissue is invaded by blood vessels and _osteoblasts___that first form spongy bone at the primary ossification center in the diaphysis. Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum lay down compact bone outside the spongy bone. __Secondary___ ossification centers appear later in the epiphyses. A band of hyaline cartilage, the __epiphyseal__ plate, forms between the two ossification centers. Layers of cartilage cells undergoing mitosis make up the epiphyseal plate. ___osteoclasts____ break down the calcified matrix and are replaced with bone-building ___osteoblasts____ that deposit bone in place of calcified cartilage. Epiphyseal plates are responsible for __lengthening____ bones while increases in __thickness__________ are due to intramembranous ossification underneath the periosteum. A medullary cavity forms in the region of the diaphysis due to the activity of the cells called _osteoclasts___. epiphyseal plate: What happens at adulthood? The primary and secondary ossification areas meet and there is no further increase in the length of the bone Skeletal Divisions: The __axial_____ skeleton consists of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column (vertebrae and intervertebral disks), and thorax (ribs and sternum).

Joints and Articulations: Joints (articulations) are the functional junctions between bones.

Base of the thumb Types of Joint Movements When a muscle contracts, its fibers pull its movable end called the __insertion____ toward its stationary end called the _origin__ causing movement at a joint. These terms describe movements that occur at joints: flexion, extension, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, pronation, supination, eversion, inversion, retraction, protraction, elevation, and depression.
