Study Notes
Musculoskeletal System
- Bones, muscles, and joints cooperate to form the musculoskeletal system, facilitating movement and support.
Types of Bone
- Long bones: Characterized by a long shaft (diaphysis) and articular surfaces (e.g., tibia, femur).
- Short bones: Cube-shaped (e.g., wrist and ankle bones).
- Flat bones: Thin and often curved (e.g., skull bones such as occipital and parietal bones).
- Irregular bones: Have complex shapes (e.g., vertebrae).
- Sesamoid bones: Embedded within tendons (e.g., patella).
Functions of Bone
- Serve to protect vital organs, provide shape, enable movement, produce blood, store minerals, and contribute to sound production.
Bone Development
- Begins prenatally and completes by around 25 years of age, involving two main processes:
- Intramembranous ossification
- Endochondral ossification
Bone Composition
- Consists of 40-50% organic materials, 20% inorganic materials, and 30-40% water.
- Key components include osteocytes, collagen fibers, and an extracellular matrix rich in calcium and phosphate, contributing to strength and rigidity.
Bone Structure
-
Cells Present:
- Osteoblasts: Bone-forming cells, single nucleus, become trapped in lacunae during development.
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells derived from osteoblasts, have multiple extensions.
- Osteoclasts: Multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption, important for maintaining bone shape.
Bone Tissue
- Compact bone: Dense, with numerous Haversian systems, constituting about 80% of the skeleton; provides strength and support.
- Cancellous (spongy) bone: Lighter, composed of a lattice of trabeculae; contains red bone marrow and lacks Haversian systems.
Periosteum
- A vascular fibrous membrane covering the bone surface, essential for nourishment, muscle attachment, and assisting in bone formation and repair.
Bone Healing Stages
- Formation of fibrocartilaginous callus post-injury, followed by resorption of dead bone and development of spongy bone.
- Callus size inversely related to movement; less movement leads to smaller callus.
- Spongy bone gradually replaced by lamellar bone; final remodeling takes years.
Factors Influencing Healing
- Delays can arise from infection, blood supply deficiencies, age, certain medications, and tissue fragments.
- Promoters of healing include limited movement, nutrition, age, and pain management.
Common Bone Conditions
- Acromegaly: Excessive bone growth in face, hands, and feet.
- Fibrous dysplasia: Abnormal bone growth or swelling.
- Rickets: Vitamin D deficiency leading to impaired bone development in children.
- Osteoporosis: Decreased bone density and strength.
- Osteomyelitis: Infection of bones, often chronic and linked to microbes like Staphylococcus aureus.
- Bone cancer: Primarily osteosarcomas and chondrosarcomas, with many instances stemming from cancers in other organs.
Conclusion
- Understanding the composition, development, structure, function, and diseases of bones is crucial for recognizing their role in overall human biology and health.
