    Study Notes

    Bone Classification

    • Bones are grouped into two main categories: axial and appendicular.
    • Axial skeleton (80 bones): includes the bones of the skull, thorax, and vertebral column.
    • Appendicular skeleton (126 bones): consists of the limbs and girdles that connect to the axial skeleton.
    • Associated cartilages, ligaments, and connective tissues also form part of the skeletal system.
    • The skeletal system provides structure, stores minerals and lipids, produces blood cells, and protects organs.
    • Bone classification is based on shape into six categories: flat bones, sutural bones, long bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones, and short bones.

    Flat Bones

    • Thin, parallel surfaces
    • Protect underlying soft tissues
    • Provide surface area for skeletal muscle attachment
    • Examples: cranial bones, sternum, ribs, and scapulae

    Sutural (Wormian) Bones

    • Irregular bones found between cranial bones
    • Vary in number, size, and shape

    Long Bones

    • Relatively long and slender
    • Examples: various limb bones

    Irregular Bones

    • Complex shapes with short, flat, notched, or ridged surfaces
    • Examples: vertebrae and bones of the pelvis and face

    Sesamoid Bones

    • Small, flat, seed-like shape
    • Develop inside tendons or joints (knee, hands, and feet)
    • Individual variation in location and number
    • Example: patella

    Short Bones

    • Small and boxy
    • Examples: wrist (carpals) and ankle (tarsals) bones

    Bone Markings

    • Surface features related to particular functions
    • Elevations/projections: sites for muscle, tendon, and ligament attachment, as well as joints where bones meet.
    • Depressions/grooves/tunnels: pathways for blood vessels and nerves

    Long Bone Anatomy

    • Anatomical arrangement: organized internal structure of long bones including epiphysis, metaphysis, diaphysis, and medullary cavity.
    • Bone tissues: compact bone and spongy bone
    • Functions: Support, leverage, protection, blood cell production.

    Long Bones

    • Contain an epiphysis (ends), metaphysis (growth plate), and diaphysis (shaft) connected by growth plates.
    • Compact bone surrounds the medullary cavity.
    • Spongy bone fills the epiphysis and metaphysis.
    • The periosteum surrounds the outer bone surface, and the endosteum lines the inner surface of the bone.

    Long Bones: Growth & Maintenance

    • Nutrient artery/vein provides blood supply to the bone.
    • Commonly one set per bone, a nutrient foramen provides access to the marrow cavity.
    • Metaphyseal arteries/veins connect to epiphyseal vessels.

    Osseous Cells & Tissues

    • Osteoblasts: Form bone matrix
    • Osteocytes: Mature bone cells
    • Osteoclasts: Break down bone matrix
    • Compact bone: Dense, outer bone layer
    • Spongy bone: Inner, porous bone layer
    • Developing bone: Immature bone structure

    Bone Cells

    • Osteogenic cells (osteoprogenitor cells): stem cells that develop into osteoblasts, key in fracture repair.
    • Osteoblasts: precursors forming new bone matrix, depositing calcium salts, converting osteoid to bone.
    • Osteocytes: Mature osteoblasts surrounded by bone matrix, maintaining protein and mineral content, residing in lacunae.
    • Osteoclasts: Remove and remodel bone matrix, releasing acids and proteolytic enzymes, involved in osteolysis, residing in osteoclastic crypts.

    Bone Tissue

    • Bone matrix: Composed of collagen fibers (1/3 of weight) and calcium salts (2/3 of weight).
    • Collagen gives flexibility, calcium salts give rigidity
    • Calcium phosphate interacts with calcium hydroxide to form hydroxyapatite crystals, which incorporate other salts like calcium carbonate.

    Compact Bone

    • Concentric lamellae arranged around central (Haversian) canals.
    • Canaliculi connect lacunae, allowing osteocytes to communicate.
    • Interstitial and Circumferential lamellae fill spaces between osteons.
    • Perforating (Volkmann's) canals connect central canals.

    Spongy Bone

    • Irregular lamellae arranged as trabeculae.
    • No central canals; nutrients reach osteocytes through canaliculi.
    • Red bone marrow occupies spaces between trabeculae, and produces blood cells.

    Bone Growth

    • Interstitial growth: Cartilage expands from within.
    • Appositional growth: Bone grows externally by depositing new matrix surrounding existing bone.

    Endochondral Ossification

    • Process of turning cartilage into bone.
    • Initial embryonic skeleton is hyaline cartilage; cartilage expands and is replaced by bone in both length and diameter.
    • Stages include enlargement of cartilage, blood vessel growth, cartilage to osteoblast conversion, primary ossification creation, extensive ossification, cartilage replacement and medullary cavity development, secondary ossification center development, epiphyseal cartilage remains, and final length determination (puberty).

    Bone Fractures

    • A crack or break caused by mechanical stress.
    • Most heal if blood vessel/nerve supply to the periosteum and endosteum survive.
    • Four main stages to fracture repair: hematoma forms, internal and external callus forms, spongy bone replaces cartilage, then compact bone replaces spongy bone.
    • General categories of fractures include closed/simple vs. open/compound types.
    • Specific types include transverse, spiral, compression, greenstick, displaced, comminuted, and epiphyseal fractures.

    Skeletal Abnormalities

    • Inadequate or excessive growth hormone (GH) can lead to abnormalities like dwarfism (too little GH) and gigantism (too much GH).
    • Acromegaly: Overproduction of GH after epiphyseal closure, causes bone thickening.
    • Achondroplasia: Disorder where epiphyseal cartilage growth slows, resulting in shortened limbs.
    • Marfan syndrome: Inherited condition leading to overly-long limbs.
    • Rickets: Softening/weakening of bones due to low hydroxyapatite, often associated with vitamin D deficiency.
    • Osteopenia or osteoporosis: Inadequate ossification leading to bone mass loss, affecting normal bone function.

    Bone Changes with Age

    • Bone density changes: decreased bone mass with age, osteopenia/osteoporosis.
    • Testing: Bone density testing (e.g., T-score).
    • Osteoporosis affects 8.9 million people per year, with hip fractures having high mortality.
