Study Notes
Microscopic Structure of Bone
- Compact bone contains several important structures: Lamellae are concentric rings of bone matrix, osteocytes are bone cells located in lacunae, canaliculi are tiny canals radiating from the central canal to lacunae and form a transport system for nutrients, perforating (Volkmann's) canals are perpendicular to the central canal and carry blood vessels and nerves.
Bone Properties and Composition
- Bone is lightweight and resists tension and other forces.
- Organic parts (collagen fibers) contribute to bone flexibility and tensile strength.
- Calcium salts deposited in the bone make it hard and resistant to compression.
Bone Formation and Growth
- Ossification, the process of bone formation, occurs on hyaline cartilage models or fibrous membranes.
- Long bone growth involves two main phases: interstitial growth (lengthening) and appositional growth (width increase).
Bone Fracture Repair
- Bone fracture repair involves four stages:
- Hematoma formation, a blood-filled swelling at the fracture site.
- Fibrocartilage callus formation, where cartilage matrix, bony matrix, and collagen fibers splint the bone.
- Bony callus formation, where osteoblasts and osteoclasts replace fibrocartilage.
- Bone remodeling, a process of reshaping the bone in response to stress.
Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton forms the longitudinal axis of the body.
- It is composed of three parts:
- Skull: protects the brain and houses the sensory organs.
- Vertebral column: provides axial support and flexibility.
- Bony thorax: protects the vital organs in the chest cavity.
Skull and Paranasal Sinuses
- Paranasal sinuses are hollow portions within bones surrounding the nasal cavity.
- They lighten the skull and amplify sounds during speech.
Hyoid Bone
- Located in the neck, it is the only bone that does not articulate with another bone.
- It acts as a movable base for the tongue, aiding in swallowing and speech.
Vertebral Column
- This structure extends from the skull to the pelvis and provides axial support.
- It consists of 26 vertebral bones separated by intervertebral discs.
- The vertebral column is divided into five regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx.
Bony Thorax
- The bony thorax, or thoracic cage, protects the heart and lungs.
- It consists of three components:
- Sternum (breastbone)
- Ribs (12 pairs)
- Thoracic vertebrae (12)
Appendicular Skeleton
- The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones that comprise the limbs, pectoral girdle, and pelvic girdle.
Joints
-
Joints are connections between bones allowing varying degrees of movement.
-
Fibrous joints are connected by fibrous tissue:
- Sutures: Found in the skull and are immobile.
- Syndesmoses: Allow limited movement, found between the tibia and fibula.
- Gomphoses: Immobile joints found where teeth meet facial bones.
-
Cartilaginous joints are connected by fibrocartilage:
- Synchrondrosis: Immobile, found in the epiphyseal plates of growing long bones.
- Symphysis: Slightly movable, found in the pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints.
