    Study Notes

    Functions of the Skeletal System

    • Provides support and structure to the body
    • Facilitates movement by serving as levers for muscles
    • Stores minerals (e.g., calcium) and lipids for energy
    • Produces blood cells through hematopoiesis
    • Protects vital organs (e.g., brain, heart)
    • Offers leverage for mechanical advantage during movement

    Classification of Bones

    • Long bones: Examples include femur and humerus
    • Short bones: Examples include carpals
    • Flat bones: Examples include parietal and sternum
    • Irregular bones: Examples include vertebrae and pelvis
    • Sesamoid bones: Develop within a tendon, e.g., patella
    • Sutural bones: Variable bones found in the skull

    Bone Structure

    • Comprised of compact bone (dense) and spongy bone (cancellous)
    • Long bone anatomy includes:
      • Diaphysis: Shaft of the bone
      • Epiphyses: Ends of the bone
      • Metaphysis: Region where diaphysis and epiphyses meet
      • Articular cartilage: Hyaline cartilage at the ends
      • Marrow cavity: Central hollow space for red or yellow marrow
      • Periosteum: Protective outer membrane

    Bone Histology

    • Solid matrix of osseous tissue with mineral deposits in lamellae
    • Cells scattered in a matrix of collagen and calcium salts
    • Osteocytes: Mature bone cells located in lacunae
    • Osteoblasts: Bone-forming cells responsible for osteogenesis
    • Osteoclasts: Cells that dissolve bone matrix
    • Osteoprogenitor cells: Stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts

    Types of Bone Development

    • Endochondral ossification:
      • Hyaline cartilage model transformed into bone
      • Occurs at primary and secondary ossification centers
      • Involves chondrocyte hypertrophy and blood vessel invasion
    • Intramembranous ossification:
      • Bone developed directly from connective tissue, without cartilage
      • Primarily gives rise to flat bones of the skull and clavicles

    Bone Remodeling

    • Continuous process replacing old bone with new tissue
    • 25% of bone replaced annually; notable for distal femur (every 4 months)
    • Hormones like growth hormone and thyroxine enhance bone mass
    • Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulate calcium levels:
      • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium by stimulating osteoblasts
      • PTH: Increases blood calcium by stimulating osteoclasts

    Calcium Homeostasis

    • 99% of the body's calcium stored in the skeleton
    • Calcium levels in blood maintained by bones, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys

    Fracture Repair Process

    • Fracture hematoma: Blood clot forms at the fracture site
    • External callus: Hard tissue forms around the outside
    • Internal callus: Fibrous tissue forms within the bone

    Bone Markings

    • Characteristic features unique to each bone and individual
    • Include elevations, projections, depressions, and grooves

    Aging and Skeletal Disorders

    • Osteopenia: Normal age-related bone loss
    • Osteoporosis: Severe bone loss leading to dysfunction, influenced by genetics, diet, and exercise
    • Kyphosis: Exaggerated thoracic curve
    • Lordosis: Exaggerated lumbar curve
    • Scoliosis: Abnormal lateral curve of the spine
    • Spina bifida: Incomplete fusion of vertebrae
    • Herniated disc: Nucleus pulposus protrudes, compressing nerves
    • Compression fracture: Loss of height in vertebrae due to pressure
