The Skeletal System
 Parts of the skeletal system
 Bones (skeleton)
 Joints
 Cartilages
 Ligaments
 Divided into two divisions
 Axial skeleton
 Appendicular skeleton

Functions of Bones
 Support of the body
 Protection of soft organs
 Movement due to attached skeletal muscles
 Storage of minerals and fats
 Blood cell formation

Bones of the Human Body
 The adult skeleton has 206 bones
 Two basic types of bone tissue
 Compact bone
 Homogeneous
 Spongy bone
 Small needle-like
pieces of bone
 Many open spaces
Figure 5.2b
Classification of Bones on the Basis of
Shape
Figure 5.1
Classification of Bones
 Long bones
 Typically longer than wide
 Have a shaft with heads at both ends
 Contain mostly compact bone
 Examples: Femur, humerus

 Short bones
 Generally cube-shape
 Contain mostly spongy bone
 Examples: Carpals, tarsals

 Flat bones
 Thin and flattened
 Usually curved
 Thin layers of compact bone around a
layer of spongy bone
 Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum

 Irregular bones
 Irregular shape
 Do not fit into other bone classification
categories
 Example: Vertebrae and hip

Classification of Bones on the Basis of
Shape
Figure 5.1
Gross Anatomy of a Long Bone
 Diaphysis
 Shaft
 Composed of
compact bone
 Epiphysis
 Ends of the bone
 Composed mostly of
spongy bone
Figure 5.2a
Structures of a Long Bone
 Periosteum
 Outside covering of
the diaphysis
 Fibrous connective
tissue membrane
 Sharpey’s fibers
 Secure periosteum to
underlying bone
 Arteries
 Supply bone cells
with nutrients
Figure 5.2c
 Articular cartilage
 Covers the
external surface of
the epiphyses
 Made of hyaline
cartilage
 Decreases friction
at joint surfaces
Figure 5.2a
 Medullary cavity
 Cavity of the shaft
 Contains yellow
marrow (mostly fat)
in adults
 Contains red marrow
(for blood cell
formation) in infants
Figure 5.2a
Bone Markings
 Surface features of bones
 Sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and
ligaments
 Passages for nerves and blood vessels
 Categories of bone markings
 Projections and processes – grow out from
the bone surface
 Depressions or cavities – indentations

Microscopic Anatomy of Bone
 Osteon (Haversian System)
 A unit of bone
 Central (Haversian) canal
 Opening in the center of an osteon
 Carries blood vessels and nerves
 Perforating (Volkman’s) canal
 Canal perpendicular to the central canal
 Carries blood vessels and nerves

Figure 5.3
 Lacunae
 Cavities containing
bone cells (osteocytes)
 Arranged in concentric
rings
 Lamellae
 Rings around the
central canal
 Sites of lacunae
Detail of Figure 5.3

 Canaliculi
 Tiny canals
 Radiate from the
central canal to
lacunae
 Form a transport
system
Detail of Figure 5.3

Changes in the Human Skeleton
 In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline
cartilage
 During development, much of this cartilage is
replaced by bone
 Cartilage remains in isolated areas
 Bridge of the nose
 Parts of ribs
 Joints

Bone Growth
 Epiphyseal plates allow for growth of long
bone during childhood
 New cartilage is continuously formed
 Older cartilage becomes ossified
 Cartilage is broken down
 Bone replaces cartilage

Bone Growth
 Bones are remodeled and lengthened until
growth stops
 Bones change shape somewhat
 Bones grow in width

Long Bone Formation and Growth
Figure 5.4a
Long Bone Formation and Growth
Figure 5.4b
Types of Bone Cells
 Osteocytes
 Mature bone cells
 Osteoblasts
 Bone-forming cells
 Osteoclasts
 Bone-destroying cells
 Break down bone matrix for remodeling and
release of calcium
 Bone remodeling is a process by both osteoblasts
and osteoclasts

Bone Fractures
 A break in a bone
 Types of bone fractures
 Closed (simple) fracture – break that does
not penetrate the skin
 Open (compound) fracture – broken bone
penetrates through the skin
 Bone fractures are treated by reduction and
immobilization
 Realignment of the bone

Common Types of Fractures
Table 5.2
Repair of Bone Fractures
 Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed
 Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a
callus
 Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony
callus
 Bony callus is remodeled to form a
permanent patch

 Skull
 Vertebral column
 Bony thorax

Paranasal Sinuses
 Hollow portions of bones surrounding the
nasal cavity
Figure 5.10
Paranasal Sinuses
 Functions of paranasal sinuses
 Lighten the skull
 Give resonance and amplification to voice
Figure 5.10
The Hyoid Bone
 The only bone that
does not articulate
with another bone
 Serves as a moveable
base for the tongue
Figure 5.12
The Fetal Skull
 The fetal skull is large
compared to the
infants total body
length
Figure 5.13
The Fetal Skull
 Fontanelles – fibrous
membranes
connecting the cranial
bones
 Allow the brain
to grow
 Convert to bone
within 24 months
after birth
Figure 5.13
The Vertebral Column
 Vertebrae separated
by intervertebral discs
 The spine has a
normal curvature
 Each vertebrae is
given a name
according to its
location

protect major
organs

The Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle
 Composed of two bones
 Clavicle – collarbone
 Scapula – shoulder blade
 These bones allow the upper limb to have
exceptionally free movement

Joints
 Articulations of bones
 Functions of joints
 Hold bones together
 Allow for mobility
 Ways joints are classified
 Functionally
 Structurally

Functional Classification of Joints
 Synarthroses – immovable joints
 Amphiarthroses – slightly moveable joints
 Diarthroses – freely moveable joints

Structural Classification of Joints
 Fibrous joints
 Generally immovable
 Cartilaginous joints
 Immovable or slightly moveable
 Synovial joints
 Freely moveable

Fibrous Joints
 Bones united by fibrous tissue
 Examples
 Sutures
 Syndesmoses
 Allows more
movement than
sutures
 Example: distal
end of tibia and
fibula
Figure 5.27a–b
Cartilaginous Joints
 Bones connected by cartilage
 Examples
 Pubic
symphysis
 Intervertebral
joints
Figure 5.27d–e
Synovial Joints
 Articulating
bones are
separated by a
joint cavity
 Synovial fluid is
found in the joint
cavity
Figure 5.24f–h
Features of Synovial Joints
 Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers
the ends of bones
 Joint surfaces are enclosed by a fibrous
articular capsule
 Have a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid
 Ligaments reinforce the joint

Structures Associated with the Synovial
Joint
 Bursae – flattened fibrous sacs
 Lined with synovial membranes
 Filled with synovial fluid
 Not actually part of the joint
 Tendon sheath
 Elongated bursa that wraps around a
tendon

Types of Synovial Joints Based on Shape

Figure 5.29d–f
Inflammatory Conditions Associated with
Joints
 Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa usually
caused by a blow or friction
 Tendonitis – inflammation of tendon sheaths
 Arthritis – inflammatory or degenerative
diseases of joints
 Over 100 different types
 The most widespread crippling disease in
the United States
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
 Osteoarthritis
 Most common chronic arthritis
 Probably related to normal aging processes
 Rheumatoid arthritis
 An autoimmune disease – the immune
system attacks the joints
 Symptoms begin with bilateral
inflammation of certain joints
 Often leads to deformities
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
 Gouty Arthritis
 Inflammation of joints is caused by a
deposition of urate crystals from the blood
 Can usually be controlled with diet

Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal
System
 At birth, the skull bones are incomplete
 Bones are joined by fibrous membranes –
fontanelles
 Fontanelles are completely replaced with
bone within two years after birth
