    Study Notes

    Functions of Bone

    • Support: Provides structural framework for the body
    • Protection: Protects vital organs (e.g., skull protects brain, rib cage protects heart and lungs)
    • Leverage/Locomotion: Allows for movement through muscle attachment
    • Storage: Serves as a reservoir for minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus
    • Hematopoiesis: Production of blood cells within the bone marrow

    Joints

    • Junctions between bones, varying in their ability to move
    • Arthrology is the study of joints

    Bone Structure

    • Composed of living cells (osteoblasts) in an intercellular matrix containing collagen fibers embedded in a ground substance of protein and polysaccharides.
    • The matrix is hardened through ossification, infiltrated by calcium and phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals.

    Bone Structures

    • Periosteum: Covers the outer surfaces of bones; contains osteoblasts enabling bone diameter growth and fracture healing
    • Endosteum: Lines the interior surfaces of bones, also containing osteoblasts

    Synovial Joints

    • Articular surfaces: Bone surfaces that rub together within the joints
    • Articular cartilage: Thin, smooth layer of hyaline cartilage on articular surfaces, facilitating movement and reducing friction
    • Joint cavity/Joint capsule: Fluid-filled space between joint surfaces enclosed by a fibrous capsule; inner layer is the synovial membrane
    • Ligaments: Bands of fibrous connective tissue stabilizing joints by connecting bones to bones

    Bone Structure

    • Cancellous bone (Spongy bone): Spicules (trabeculae) of bone arranged around spaces filled with bone marrow; lightweight but strong
    • Compact bone: Concentric layers of ossified matrix around a central haversian canal containing osteocytes between layers. Very heavy, dense and strong; forms the shafts of long bones and the outer layer of all bones

    Bone Cells

    • Osteoblasts: Bone-building cells within the ossified matrix, called osteocytes after ossification
    • Osteoclasts: Multinucleated cells working with osteoblasts to remodel bone by removing bone where it is not needed and allowing for calcium release when blood calcium levels need to be raised

    Types of Joints

    • Fibrous (Synarthrosis) - immovable: Bones securely united by dense fibrous connective tissue (collagen). Example: Sutures between skull bones
    • Cartilaginous (Amphiarthrosis) - slightly movable: Allows for mild rocking movement. Examples: Vertebral discs, pelvic and mandibular symphyses
    • Synovial (Diarthrosis) - freely movable: Examples: Stifle, elbow, shoulder, coxofemoral

    Types of Synovial Joints

    • Categorized by joint surface type and possible movements
    • Four basic types:
      • Hinge (ginglymus): Allows movement in one plane. Examples: Atlanto-occipital and elbow joints
      • Gliding (arthrodial): Allows for sliding movement. Example: Carpus
      • Pivot (trochoid): Allows for rotational movement. Example: C1-C2 (atlanto-axial)
      • Ball and socket (spheroidal): Allows for multi-planar movement. Examples: Shoulder and coxofemoral (hip) joints

    Types of Joints and Associated Bones

    • Hinge joint: Elbow; Humerus, Ulna
    • Pivot joint: Leg; Tibia, Fibula
    • Ball-and-socket joint: Shoulder; Humerus, Scapula
