    Study Notes

    Bone Classification

    • Bones are classified based on topography, ontogeny, development, and shape.
    • Topographically, bones can be classified as part of the cranial skeleton (bones of the skull), the post cranial skeleton (axial and appendicular skeletons), and the specialized (visceral) skeleton (bones developed in viscera/soft tissues).
    • Ontogeny classification divides bones into somatic skeleton (formed in the body wall, post cranial skeleton) and visceral skeleton (derived from pharyngeal arches).
    • Development categorizes bones based on their ossification process:
      • Endochondral ossification: long bones, vertebrae, pelvic bones
      • Intramembranous ossification: skull vault, maxilla, mandible, clavicle
    • Shape of bones is determined by function, genetics, and static/dynamic influences.
      • Function influences include movement, protection, and shock absorbance.
      • Muscle or tendon attachment causes the development of processes, tubercles, crests, spines, roughened surfaces, depressions, and notches.

    Long Bone Organization

    • Bones are formed by a cortex of compact bone composed of thin lamellae arranged around central canals (osteons).
    • Shaft/Diaphysis:
      • Thick cortex towards the middle.
      • Smooth external surface except at muscle or ligament attachment sites.
      • Rough inner surface bounds a central medullary cavity.
    • Extremities/Epiphysis:
      • Occupied by cancellous or spongy bone, forming a lattice of interlacing spicules, plates, and tubes.
      • Medullary cavity and interstitial spaces of spongy bone are occupied by bone marrow.
    • Growth Plate/Metaphysis:
      • Plates of hyaline cartilage between diaphysis and epiphysis.
    • Articular Surface:
      • Smooth and covered in articular cartilage.
      • Hyaline cartilage with variable thickness, calcified in its deepest layer, blends with periosteum and joint capsule.
    • Periosteum:
      • Covers the external surface of bone except at the articular surface.
      • Tough double-layered structure with an outer fibrous and deeper cellular layer.
    • Endosteum:
      • Thin CT lining of marrow cavity (diaphysis) and marrow spaces (spongy bone).

    Long Bone Blood Supply

    • Long bone blood supply includes:
      • Epiphyseal arteries.
      • Metaphysial arteries.
      • Nutrient artery.
      • Artery of bone marrow.
      • Periosteal arteries.
      • Sinusoids in bone marrow.
    • Nutrient artery passes through the nutrient foramen, a landmark visible in radiographs.
    • Bifurcates and re-branches, supplying the sinusoids of marrow tissue and osteons (compact bone).
    • Establishes collateral circulation through anastomoses with metaphyseal and epiphyseal vessels (relevant for intramedullary pinning).

    Long Bone Venous Drainage

    • Venous drainage occurs through large, thin-walled veins accompanying major arteries.
    • Veins emerge through nutrient, epiphyseal, and metaphyseal foramina.
    • Capillaries in cortical tissue drain into venules within the periosteum, creating centrifugal circulation.

    Long Bone Nerve Supply and Lymphatic Drainage

    • Nerves accompany blood vessels.
    • Sensory periosteal innervation.
    • Vasomotor supply for blood vessels.
    • No lymphatics present in long bone.

    Bone Matrix

    • Cortical bone (compact bone):
      • Low porosity.
      • Forms the shaft of long bones and the outer layer of all bones.
      • Withstands greater stress but less strain (more stiff).
    • Trabecular bone (spongy bone):
      • High porosity.
      • Forms the extremities of long bones and the core of all other bones.
      • Withstands greater strain before fracturing.

    Key Takeaways

    • Understanding the classifications, organization, and blood/nerve supply of bones, specifically using the example of long bone, allows for further investigation into the biomechanics and development of bones.
    • The relative porosity of compact and spongy bone contributes to their unique strength and resilience properties.
