Study Notes
Basic Osteology Lecture Notes
- The lecture covers compact and cancellous bone histology, bone composition, bone cell types (osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts), bone growth processes (intramembranous and endochondral ossification), factors affecting bone growth, and types of skeletons (endoskeleton, exoskeleton).
- The human skeleton is comprised of approximately 206 bones, divided into the axial skeleton (skull/face, vertebral column, and thorax) and the appendicular skeleton (shoulder girdle, upper extremities, pelvic girdle, and lower extremities).
- Bones (skull/cranium) are categorized into 8 cranial bones, 14 facial bones, 1 hyoid, and 6 ossicles.
- The vertebral column includes 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacrum, and 1 coccyx bone.
- The thorax contains 25 bones (1 sternum, 24 ribs).
- The shoulder girdle consists of 4 bones (2 clavicles, 2 scapulae).
- The upper extremities consist of 60 bones (2 humerus, 2 radius, 2 ulna, 16 carpals, 10 metacarpals, 28 phalanges).
- The pelvic girdle consists of 2 innominate bones (each comprising the ilium, ischium, and pubis).
- The lower extremities include 60 bones (2 femurs, 2 fibulas, 2 tibias, 2 patellas, 14 tarsals, 10 metatarsals, and 28 phalanges).
- Bone types include long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones.
- Bone microstructure involves: Woven bone – fragile in development and repair; Lamellar bone- compact/cortical covering spongy bone, a stronger structure; Cancellous or spongy- trabecular bone found in the ends of long bones, provides support.
- Compact bone contains Haversian systems/osteons (structural units) arranged regularly; the structures consist of a Haversian canal, lamellae (calcified rings), lacunae (spaces for osteocytes), canaliculi (tiny canals radiating out connecting lacunae), and Volkmann’s canals (channels running at 90° to the central canal connecting blood vessels to the periosteum).
- Cancellous bone is unorganized extensions of bone tissue surrounding bone marrow spaces.
- Bone growth and development includes primary and secondary ossification (the process by which bones form from embryonic tissue). Primary ossification begins in the womb, usually around the shaft of the long bone. Secondary ossification happens later in different times of the child’s development. Bone development stages include cartilage template (surrounded by perichondrium), bony collar formation, primary centre formation, blood vessels entering, marrow cavity formation, collar thickening and lengthening forming the diaphysis, and secondary ossification centres forming the epiphysis.
- The epiphyseal growth plate (hyaline cartilage) separates the epiphysis from the rest of the bone & bone lengthens.
- The metaphysis is the region proximal to the growth plate where ossification occurs
- The periosteum (fibrous membrane covering the bone) and the endosteum (inner membrane facing the medullary cavity) are key parts of bone structure. The periosteum protects and nourishes the bone; endosteum has blood supply & contains osteoblasts & osteoclasts.
- Bony repair involves fracture hematoma formation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, formation of bony callus, and bone remodelling.
- Synovial joints have a joint cavity containing synovial fluid for nourishing and lubricating cartilage. Pouches of fluid (bursae) cushion the joint. The capsule and membranes and the joint cavity are lined by synovial membrane, cartilage, and fluid.
