    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • The skeletal system is composed of various tissues, including bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, blood-forming tissues, adipose tissue, and nervous tissue.
    • Each bone is an organ, and together they form the skeletal system.

    Functions of the Skeletal System

    • Support: Provides a framework and attachment sites for muscles.
    • Protection: Shields internal organs with bony coverings.
    • Movement: Assists muscles in producing body movements.
    • Mineral Storage: Stores and releases minerals (calcium and phosphorus).
    • Hemopoiesis: Blood cell formation occurs in red marrow.
    • Energy Storage: Yellow marrow stores triglycerides.

    Structure of Bone

    • Long Bone Anatomy:
      • Diaphysis: The shaft of the bone.
      • Epiphyses: The ends of the bone, articulating with other bones.
      • Metaphyses: Areas between the diaphysis and epiphyses.
      • Periosteum: Connective tissue covering for growth and repair.
      • Articular Cartilage: Reduces friction at joints.
      • Marrow Cavity: Contains yellow marrow.
      • Endosteum: Lining of the medullary cavity.

    Histology of Bone Tissue

    • Bone Cells:
      • Osteogenic Cells: Develop into osteoblasts.
      • Osteoblasts: Bone-building cells.
      • Osteocytes: Mature bone cells maintaining bone tissue.
      • Osteoclasts: Cells that break down bone.
    • Matrix Composition: Inorganic salts (hydroxyapatite) and collagen fibers provide hardness and tensile strength.
    • Types: Compact or spongy, based on matrix arrangement.

    Blood and Nerve Supply of Bone

    • Richly supplied with blood through periosteal and nutrient arteries.
    • Veins accompany arteries to drain blood from bones.
    • Nerves follow blood vessels into bone tissue.

    Bone Formation

    • Osteogenesis/Ossification: Two types:
      • Intramembranous: Bone forms from fibrous connective tissue (e.g., skull bones).
      • Endochondral: Bone replaces hyaline cartilage (most bones of the body).
      • Growth:
        • Length: Through the epiphyseal plate.
        • Thickness: Through appositional growth at the periosteum.
    • Remodeling: Continuous replacement of old bone with new bone.

    Bone's Role in Calcium Homeostasis

    • Bone acts as a calcium reservoir.
    • Hormonal Regulation:
      • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Increases blood calcium levels.
      • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium levels.

    Exercise and Bone Tissue

    • Mechanical stress increases bone strength through mineral deposition and collagen production.
    • Weight-bearing activities help maintain bone mass.

    Aging and Bone Tissue

    • Aging results in demineralization and decreased collagen production, increasing fracture risk and conditions like osteoporosis.
