Bone break, induce blessing, hrs pass and - broken bone → bleeding blood clot/ fracture hematoma develops, stops - spongy bone network form bleeding out - osteoblast overly activated→ enlarged callused area + stronger/thicker than normal 2. Internal callus form → spongy bone unite bone inner edges. External callus in cartilage stabilize outer edge 3. External callus cartilage replaced by bone, spongy bone unite broken ends, fragment of dead bone removed, replaced 4. Swelling marks break point of fracture, overtime swelling goes down, many yrs. Purpose of external callus is to build back stronger to prevent from breaking again Aging - young age: osteoblast activity balance osteoclast activity - older age: osteoblast activity ↓ , but osteoclast activity maintains the same, ossification decrease = osteopenia → osteoclast activity faster than osteoblast= porous bones In women (menopause), estrogen ↓ osteoclast are overactive → porous bones and osteoporosis Bone classification / bone shapes - long bones: long, slender, epiphysis, diaphysis, marrow cavity tibia, fibula, femur - short bones: short box like carpal bones (wrist), tarsal bones (ankles) - flat bone: thin, flat bone, parallel surfaces of compact bone parietal bone - sutural bones: small, flat oddly shaped between flat bones of skull - irregular bone: complex shapes vertebrae - pneumatized bones: hollow bones, ethmoid/nasal septum - sesamoid bones: small round bones, develop in tendons, patella Bone marking (landmarks) - bones not inert, dynamic!

Help bone resorption, regulate bone density and calcium levels Osteon: Haversian system, basic structural unit of compact bone. consists of concentric layers (lamellae) of bone matrix surrounding a central canal (Haversian canal) that contains blood vessels and nerves. Trabeculae: These are small, rod-like structures found in spongy bone (cancellous bone). form a lattice-like network that provides structural support and helps reduce the weight of bones while maintaining strength. Fontanel: soft spots on a baby's skull, bones have not yet fused together. Fontanels allow for growth of the brain and skull during infancy and provide flexibility during birth. Epiphyseal Plate: = growth plate, this is a layer of cartilage found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents. where bone growth occurs, allowing the bones to lengthen. Osteocytes: mature bone cells originate from osteoblasts. They are embedded in the bone matrix and play a role in maintaining bone tissue and communicating with other bone cells. Epiphyseal Line: This is the remnant of the epiphyseal plate in adults. Once growth in length has ceased, the cartilage of the growth plate is replaced by bone, forming the epiphyseal line, which marks where the plate was located. Components of skeletal system + structures Bones: The primary structural elements. Cartilage: Provides flexible support and cushioning at joints. Ligaments: Connect bone to bone, stabilizing joints. Tendons: Connect muscle to bone. Joints: Sites where bones meet, allowing for movement. Axial Skeleton: Comprises the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. It supports the central axis of the body. Appendicular Skeleton: Includes the limbs and the girdles (shoulder and pelvic girdles) that attach them to the axial skeleton. It facilitates movement and manipulation of the environment. Organic Components: collagen fibers and proteins that provide flexibility and strength. Inorganic Components: Mainly hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate), which gives bone its hardness and rigidity. Long Bones: Humerus, femur. Short Bones: Carpals (wrist bones), tarsals (ankle bones). Flat Bones: Skull bones, sternum, ribs. Irregular Bones: Vertebrae, pelvis. Sesamoid Bones: Patella (kneecap). Pneumatized Bones: Bones with air spaces, such as some bones of the skull (e.g., frontal bone). Diaphysis: The long shaft of the bone. Epiphysis: The end part of the bone. Metaphysis: The region between diaphysis and epiphysis (contains the growth plate in growing bones). Medullary Cavity: The central cavity containing marrow. Endosteum: The lining of the medullary cavity. Periosteum: A fibrous membrane covering the bone. Yellow Bone Marrow: Found in the medullary cavity of long bones; primarily stores fat and can be converted to red marrow if needed. Red Bone Marrow: Found in the epiphyses and the cavities of spongy bone; responsible for blood cell production (hematopoiesis). Compact Bone: outer layer of the bone and provides strength. Spongy Bone: in the epiphyses, porous structure that supports and houses red marrow. Osteon: The basic structural unit of compact bone, consisting of concentric lamellae surrounding a central (Haversian) canal. Function of Perforating and Central Canals: Central Canal: Contains blood vessels and nerves supplying the bone. Perforating Canals: Allow blood vessels and nerves to enter and connect with the central canals, facilitating nutrient flow. Location of Osteocytes: Located in small spaces called lacunae between the lamellae. Nutrient Supply to Osteocytes: Nutrients reach osteocytes through tiny channels called canaliculi that connect lacunae to the central canal, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange. Function of Perforating (Sharpey's) Fibers Perforating fibers, also known as Sharpey's fibers, are bundles of collagen fibers that attach the periosteum to the underlying bone. Their main functions include: Anchoring the Periosteum: They secure the periosteum firmly to the bone surface, ensuring stability and protection. Transmitting Forces: They help distribute the mechanical forces exerted on the bone, particularly during muscle contractions, which contributes to overall bone strength and integrity. Three Different Types of Lamellae in Bone 1. Concentric Lamellae: These are the layers of bone matrix that form the osteons (Haversian systems) in compact bone. Each lamella surrounds the central canal and is arranged concentrically. 2. Circumferential Lamellae: These are layers of bone that encircle the entire outer and inner surfaces of the bone. They provide additional strength and support to the bone structure. 3. Interstitial Lamellae: These are remnants of old osteons that have been partially resorbed. They fill the spaces between the osteons in compact bone and contribute to its overall structural integrity. Intramembranous Ossification Definition: This process involves the direct formation of bone from mesenchymal tissue (a type of connective tissue). Process: 1. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts. 2. Osteoblasts begin to secrete bone matrix, forming ossification centers. 3. As matrix is secreted, osteoblasts become trapped and mature into osteocytes. 4. The developing bone forms trabeculae, which fuse to create spongy bone. 5. Compact bone forms on the surface, with the periosteum developing from the surrounding mesenchyme. Examples of Bones Formed: Flat bones of the skull (e.g., parietal bone), the mandible, and the clavicle. Endochondral Ossification  Definition: This process involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bone, typically in long bones. Process: 1. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes, forming a cartilage model. 2. Chondrocytes enlarge and then die, creating spaces. 3. Blood vessels invade, bringing osteoblasts that replace the cartilage with bone. 4. The primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis, while secondary ossification centers form in the epiphyses after birth. 5. The epiphyseal plate remains for growth until adulthood, at which point it becomes the epiphyseal line. Examples of Bones Formed: Long bones (e.g., femur, humerus), vertebrae, and ribs. Ossification Tracings For both processes, visual tracings would illustrate the stages of differentiation from mesenchyme or cartilage to mature bone, showing key changes such as the formation of ossification centers and the replacement of cartilage. Types of Bone Fractures 1. Transverse Fracture: A straight fracture line across the bone. 2. Displaced Fracture: Bone fragments are out of alignment; may require realignment (reduction). 3. Nondisplaced Fracture: Bone remains in its normal alignment despite the fracture. 4. Compression Fracture: Bone is crushed, often occurring in vertebrae; common in osteoporosis. 5. Spiral Fracture: A twisting force causes the fracture, resulting in a spiral-shaped break. Process of Bone Remodeling/Repair 1. Hematoma Formation: Following a fracture, blood vessels rupture, leading to a hematoma (blood clot) at the fracture site. 2. Fibrocartilaginous Callus Formation: Capillaries grow into the hematoma, and fibroblasts and chondroblasts produce a soft callus of collagen and cartilage. 3. Bony Callus Formation: Osteoblasts replace the fibrocartilaginous callus with a bony callus made of spongy bone. 4. Bone Remodeling: The bony callus is remodeled over time, restoring the bone to its original shape and structure through the action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Ch 6 1.

Hard Palate: ○ Formed by the palatine processes of the maxilla and the horizontal plates of the palatine bones. Nasal Septum and Nose: ○ The nasal septum is formed by the vomer and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, as well as cartilage. The external structure of the nose is supported by nasal bones. 3. Nasal Conchae Bones: Location: The nasal conchae are thin, scroll-like bones that protrude into the nasal cavity from the lateral walls. There are three pairs: superior, middle, and inferior conchae. The superior and middle conchae are part of the ethmoid bone, while the inferior conchae are separate bones.  Function: They increase the surface area of the nasal cavity, aiding in warming, humidifying, and filtering the air as it is inhaled. Why Called Turbinate Bones: They are called turbinate bones because their scroll-like shape helps create turbulence in the airflow, enhancing contact with the mucous membranes for conditioning the air. 4.
