by: Zelalem.a Skeletal system The skeletal system consists of bones and other structures that make up the joints of the skeleton. The types of tissue present are: bone tissue, cartilage, and fibrous connective tissue, which forms the ligaments that connect bone to bone. FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON 1. Provides a framework that supports the body; the muscles that are attached to bones move the skeleton.
2. Protects some internal organs from mechanical
injury; for example the rib cage protects the heart and lungs,.
3. Contains and protects the red bone marrow, the
primary hemopoietic (blood-forming) tissue.
4. Provides a storage site for excess calcium.
Classification of bone 1. Long bones the bones of the arms, legs, hands, and feet (but not the wrists and ankles). The shaft of a long bone is the diaphysis, and the ends are called epiphyses 2. Short bones the bones of the wrists and ankles. 3. Flat bones the ribs, shoulder blades, hip bones, and cranial bones. 4. Irregular bones the vertebrae and facial bones. Histology of bone Bone is a specialized connective tissue composed of calcified intercellular material, the bone matrix, and three cell types:
Osteocytes (Gr. osteon, bone + kytos, cell), which
are found in cavities (lacunae) between layers (lamellae) of bone matrix. Osteoblasts (osteon + Gr. blastos, germ), which synthesize the organic components of the matrix
Osteoclasts (osteon + Gr. klastos, broken), which
are multi-nucleated giant cells involved in the resorption and remodeling of bone tissue. Osteogenesis Bone can be formed initially by either of two ways: Intramembranous ossification, in which osteoblasts differentiate directly from mesenchyme and begin secreting osteoid.
Endochondral ossification, in which the matrix of
preexisting hyaline cartilage is eroded and replaced by osteoblasts producing osteoid. Intramembranous Ossification most flat bones are produced,
is so called because it takes place within
condensations of embryonic mesenchymal tissue.
The frontal and parietal bones of the skullas
well as parts of the occipital and temporal bones and the mandible and maxillaare formed by intramembranous ossification a): Groups of mesenchymal cells in a "membrane" or sheet of this embryonic tissue, round up and differentiate as osteoblasts producing osteoid.
(b): Cells trapped in the
calcifying matrix differentiate as osteocytes (c): Woven bone is produced in this manner, with vascularized internal spaces that will form the marrow cavity and surrounded on both sides by developing periosteum.
(d): Remodeling of the woven
bone produces the two layers of compact lamellar bone with cancellous bone in between, which is characteristic of these flat bones. Endochondral Ossification ossification takes place within a piece of hyaline cartilage whose shape resembles a small version, or model, of the bone to be formed.
This type of ossification is principally
responsible for the formation of short and long bones. (1). The process takes many weeks and major developmental stages include: formation of a bone collar around the middle of the cartilage model and degeneration of the underlying cartilage
(2), followed by invasion of
the resulting ossification center by capillaries and osteoprogenitor cells from the periosteum (3), osteoid deposition by the new osteoblasts, calcification of woven bone, and its remodeling as compact bone
(4). This primary
ossification center develops in the diaphysis, along the middle of each developing bone. Secondary ossification centers develop somewhat later by a similar process in the epiphyses. The primary and secondary ossification centers are separated by the epiphyseal plate (5) which provides for continued bone elongation. The two ossification centers do not merge until the epiphyseal plate disappears
(6) when full stature is
achieved. The human skeleton has two divisions: the axial skeleton, which forms the axis of the body, consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. the appendicular skeleton, which supports the appendages or limbs. The bones of the arms and legs and the shoulder and pelvic girdles make up the appendicular skeleton. Joints the rigid elements of the skeleton meet at sites called joints, or articulations.
The Greek root arthro means joint, and the
scientific study of joints is called arthrology (ar-throlo-je). It is the articulation of bones at joints and the contraction of skeletal muscles that attach to the bones that cause movement. CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS Joints can be classified either by function or structure.
The functional classification focuses on the
amount of movement allowed. Accordingly, synarthroses - are immovable joints, amphiarthroses - are slightly movable joints, and diarthroses- are freely movable joints. Diarthroses predominate in the limbs, whereas synarthroses and amphiarthroses are largely restricted to the axial skeleton. The structural classification is based on the material that binds the bones together and on the presence or absence of a joint cavity. Structurally, joints are classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial joints Muscular system
