The Skeletal System
(Bones and Joints)
Anatomy & Physiology I
Chapter 7
Bone as a Tissue

osteology – the study of bone

skeletal system - composed of bones,
joints, cartilages, and ligaments
◦ form strong flexible framework of the body
◦ cartilage – forerunner of most bones
 covers many joint surfaces of mature bone

ligaments – hold bones together at the
joints

tendons – attach muscle to bone
Functions of the Skeleton

support – hold the body up, supports muscles,
mandible and maxilla support teeth

protection – brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs

movement – limb movements, breathing, action of
muscle on bone

electrolyte balance – calcium and phosphate ions

acid-base balance – buffers blood against
excessive pH changes

blood formation – red bone marrow is the chief
producer of blood cells
7-3
Bones and Osseous Tissue

bone (osseous tissue) - connective tissue with the matrix
hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals

mineralization or calcification – the hardening process of
bone

individual bones consist of bone tissue, bone marrow,
cartilage, adipose tissue, nervous tissue, and fibrous
connective tissue

continually remodels itself and interacts physiologically
with all of the other organ systems of the body

permeated with nerves and blood vessels, which attests to
its sensitivity and metabolic activity
7-4
The Matrix of Bone


matrix of osseous tissue is, by dry weight, about one-third organic
and two-thirds inorganic matter
organic matter – synthesized by osteoblasts
◦ collagen, carbohydrate – protein complexes, such as proteoglycans and
glycoproteins

inorganic matter
◦ 85% calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite)
◦ 10% calcium carbonate
◦ other minerals (fluoride, sodium, potassium, magnesium)

bone is a composite – combination of two basic structural materials,
a ceramic and a polymer
◦ combines optimal mechanical properties of each component
◦ bone combines the polymer, collagen, with the ceramic, hydroxyapatite
and other minerals
◦ ceramic portion allows the bone to support the body weight, and
protein portion gives bone some degree of flexibility


rickets – soft bones due to deficiency of calcium salts
osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bone disease – excessively brittle
bones due to lack of protein, collagen

 Osteoclasts (bone-destroying cells)
 Osteogenic cells (stem cells)
◦ Nerve fibers, nutrient blood vessels, and lymphatic
vessels enter the bone via nutrient foramina
◦ Secured to underlying bone by Sharpey’s fibers

Bone Marrow

bone marrow – general term for soft tissue that
occupies the marrow cavity of a long bone and small
spaces amid the trabeculae of spongy bone

red marrow (myeloid tissue)
◦ in nearly every bone in a child
◦ hemopoietic tissue - produces blood cells and
is composed of multiple tissues in a delicate, but
intricate arrangement that is an organ to itself
◦ in adults, found in skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum,
part of pelvic girdle, and proximal heads of
humerus and femur

yellow marrow found in adults
◦ most red marrow turns into fatty yellow marrow
◦ no longer produces blood
Location of Hematopoietic Tissue
(Red Marrow)

Red marrow cavities of adults
◦ Trabecular cavities of the heads of the femur
and humerus
◦ Trabecular cavities of the diploë of flat bones

Red marrow of newborn infants
◦ Medullary cavities and all spaces in spongy
bone
Microscopic Anatomy of Bone

Cells of bones
◦ Osteogenic (osteoprogenitor) cells – give rise to
osteoblasts
 Stem cells in periosteum, endosteum and central canals
◦ Osteoblasts – manufacture bone matrix
 Bone-forming cells
◦ Osteocytes – maintain and repair existing bone
matrix
 Mature bone cells
◦ Osteoclasts – breakdown (resorb) bone matrix
 Cells that break down and release minerals from bone
matrix
Microscopic Anatomy of Bone:


Haversian system, or osteon—structural
unit
◦ Lamellae
 Weight-bearing
 Column-like matrix tubes
◦ Central (Haversian) canal

Hormonal Regulation of Bone
Growth
Growth hormone stimulates epiphyseal
plate activity
 Thyroid hormone modulates activity of
growth hormone
 Testosterone and estrogens (at puberty)

◦ Promote adolescent growth spurts
◦ End growth by inducing epiphyseal plate
closure
Bone Deposit
Occurs where bone is injured or added
strength is needed
 Requires a diet rich in protein; vitamins C,
D, and A; calcium; phosphorus; magnesium;
and manganese

Bone Resorption

Osteoclasts secrete
◦ Lysosomal enzymes (digest organic matrix)
◦ Acids (convert calcium salts into soluble
forms)

Dissolved matrix is transcytosed across
osteoclast, enters interstitial fluid and
then blood
Control of Remodeling

What controls continual remodeling of
bone?
◦ Hormonal mechanisms that maintain calcium
homeostasis in the blood
◦ Mechanical and gravitational forces
Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+
The level of blood calcium (Ca2+) must be
maintained (homeostasis)

Transmission of nerve impulses
Muscle contraction
Blood coagulation
Secretion by glands and nerve cells
Cell division
Which hormones are responsible for
maintaining blood calcium?
Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+

Primarily controlled by parathyroid hormone (PTH)
 Blood Ca2+ levels

Parathyroid glands release PTH

PTH stimulates osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix and
release Ca2+

 Blood Ca2+ levels
When blood calcium levels fall, PTH is released causing blood
calcium levels to increase.
Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+

May be affected to a lesser extent by calcitonin
 Blood Ca2+ levels

Parafollicular cells of thyroid release calcitonin

Osteoblasts deposit calcium salts

 Blood Ca2+ levels
When blood calcium levels rise, calcitonin is released causing
blood calcium levels to decrease.
Response to Mechanical Stress


Wolff’s law: A bone grows or remodels in response
to forces or demands placed upon it
Observations supporting Wolff’s law:
◦ Handedness (right or left handed) results in bone of
one upper limb being thicker and stronger
◦ Curved bones are thickest where they are most likely
to buckle
◦ Trabeculae form along lines of stress
◦ Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active
muscles attach
Bone Markings

Bulges, depressions, and holes serve as
◦ Sites of attachment for muscles, ligaments, and
tendons
◦ Joint surfaces
◦ Conduits for blood vessels and nerves
Bone Markings: Projections

Sites of muscle and ligament attachment
◦ Tuberosity—rounded projection
◦ Crest—narrow, prominent ridge
◦ Trochanter—large, blunt, irregular surface
◦ Line—narrow ridge of bone
◦ Tubercle—small rounded projection
◦ Condyle – rounded projection
◦ Epicondyle—raised area above a condyle
◦ Spine—sharp, slender projection
◦ Process—any bony prominence
