The Skeletal System Powerpoint Lecture

This Powerpoint lecture begins by looking at the different types of bones within the body, how they are classified, and what they do. Students will then learn about the inner anatomy of bones, going all the way to the cellular level. Once each of the human bones is identified, students will then learn how they are joined together and what types of movements are produced from them.

Essential concepts: Spongy bone, compact bone, osteocytes, types of bones, fontanels, sinuses, axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, types of joints, bone fractures.

Skeletal System Chapter 5

The Skeletal System Parts of the skeletal system Bones (skeleton) Joints Cartilages Ligaments Two subdivisions of the skeleton Axial skeleton Appendicular skeleton

Functions of Bones Support the body Protect soft organs Acts as a lever for attached skeletal muscles Store minerals and fats Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)

Bones of the Human Body The adult skeleton has 206 bones Two basic types of bone tissue Compact bone Spongy bone

Articular cartilage Anatomy of a Long Bone • Diaphysis • Shaft • Composed of compact bone • Epiphysis • Ends of the bone • Composed mostly of spongy bone Proximal epiphysis Spongy bone Epiphyseal line Periosteum Compact bone Medullary cavity (lined by endosteum) Diaphysis Distal epiphysis (a) Figure 5.3a

Anatomy of a Long Bone Periosteum Fibrous connective tissue membrane, covers outside of the diaphysis Perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers Hyaline cartilage lines joint surfaces Arteries Endosteum Yellow bone marrow Compact bone Periosteum Perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers Nutrient arteries (c) Figure 5.3c

Articular cartilage Anatomy of a Long Bone Proximal epiphysis Spongy bone Epiphyseal line Periosteum Compact bone Medullary cavity (lined by endosteum) Diaphysis Distal epiphysis (a) • Epiphyseal plate (Young) • Flat plate of hyaline cartilage • Epiphyseal line (Adults) • Remnant of the epiphyseal plate Figure 5.3a

Anatomy of a Long Bone Marrow (medullary) cavity Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults Infants: red marrow for blood cell formation In adults: red marrow is cavities of spongy bone

Microscopic Anatomy of Compact Bone Osteon (Haversian system) Central canal and matrix rings Carries blood vessels and nerves Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal Carries blood vessels and nerves

Osteon (Haversian system) Lamellae Blood vessel continues into medullary cavity containing marrow Spongy bone Perforating fibers Compact bone Periosteal blood vessel Central (Haversian) canal Periosteum Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal (a) Blood vessel Figure 5.4a

Microscopic Anatomy of Bone Lacunae Cavities containing bone cells (osteocytes) Arranged in concentric rings called lamellae Lamellae Calcified cartilage surrounding lacunae

Formation of 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 (Ossification) Epiphyseal plates allow for lengthwise growth of long bones during childhood New cartilage is continuously formed Older cartilage becomes ossified Cartilage is broken down Enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity Bone replaces cartilage through the action of osteoblasts

Bone Growth (Ossification) Bones are remodeled and lengthened until growth stops Bones are remodeled in response to two factors Blood calcium levels Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton Bones grow in width (called appositional growth)

Articular cartilage Hyaline cartilage Spongy bone New center of bone growth New bone forming Epiphyseal plate cartilage Growth in bone width Medullary cavity Bone starting to replace cartilage Invading blood vessels Growth in bone length New bone forming Bone collar Hyaline cartilage model Epiphyseal plate cartilage In an embryo In a child In a fetus Figure 5.5

Bone growth Bone remodeling Growing shaft is remodeled as: Bone grows in length because: Articular cartilage 1 Cartilage grows here. Epiphyseal plate 2 Cartilage is replaced by bone here. 1 Bone is resorbed here. 3 2 Cartilage grows here. Bone is added by appositional growth here. 4 Cartilage is replaced by bone here. 3 Bone is resorbed here. Figure 5.6

Bone Remodeling • Osteocytes are mature bone cells • Osteoclasts digest organic matric in response to PTH • Increases blood calcium levels • Osteoblasts form organic matric in response to calcitonin • Decrease blood calcium levels • Mechanical and gravitational forces also affect remodeling 17

Bone Remodeling • Balance between resorption and formation 18

Bone Fractures Fracture—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

Common Types of Fractures Comminuted—bone breaks into many fragments Compression—bone is crushed Depressed—broken bone portion is pressed inward Impacted—broken bone ends are forced into each other Spiral—ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone Greenstick—bone breaks incompletely

Hematoma External callus Bony callus of spongy bone New blood vessels Internal callus (fibrous tissue and cartilage) Healed fracture Spongy bone trabecula 1 4 Hematoma forms. Fibrocartilage callus forms. Bony callus forms. Bone remodeling occurs. 2 3 Figure 5.7

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 Autoimmune disease

Clinical Forms of Arthritis Osteoarthritis Most common chronic arthritis, related to normal aging processes Rheumatoid arthritis An autoimmune disease—the immune system attacks the joints Gouty arthritis Deposition of uric acid crystals from the blood

The Skeletal System

PowerPoint ® Lecture Slide Presentation

by Patty Bostwick-Taylor, �Florence-Darlington Technical College

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

• Overview of the Skeletal System
• Skeleton (Greek) = “dried up body”
• Two subdivisions of the skeleton
• Axial skeleton – longitudinal axis of body
• Appendicular skeleton – limbs & girdles
• Parts of the skeletal system:
• Bones (skeleton)
• Functions of Bones
• Form internal framework: supports body & cradles soft organs
• Ex: skull bones fused to enclose the brain
• Ex: vertebrae surround spinal cord
• Ex: rib cage encloses thoracic organs
• Skeletal muscles attached to bone via tendons, move body and its parts
• Results in full body locomotion, fine movements, internal movements

Functions of Bones, continued…

• Fat (marrow) in medullary cavities
• Bones store minerals: calcium & phosphorus
• Ca 2+ needed for nervous impulses, muscle contraction, blood clotting
• Hormones control movement of calcium to and from bones and blood
• Blood cell formation
• AKA hematopoesis
• Within marrow/medullary cavities

Classification of Bones

• The adult skeleton has 206 bones
• Two basic types of bone tissue:
• Compact bone
• Dense, smooth, homogeneous
• Spongy bone
• AKA cancellous bone
• Small needle-like �pieces of bone, called trabeculae
• Many open spaces
• Site of hematopoesis
• Filled with red marrow

Figure 5.2b

Structure of Cancellous Bone

Structure of Compact Bone

Classification of Bones on the basis of Shape

• Classification of bones on the basis of shape
• 4 shapes of bone: long, short, flat, irregular
• Longer than they are wide
• Shaft with heads at both ends
• Contain mostly compact bone
• All the bones of the limbs (except patella, ankle & wrist)

Classification of Bones, continued…

• Short bones
• Generally cube-shaped
• Contain mostly cancellous bone
• Bones of the wrist (carpal) & ankle (tarsal)
• Sesamoid bones – bones which form within tendons; e.g. patella
• Thin, flattened, and usually curved
• Two thin layers of compact bone surround a layer of cancellous bone
• Irregular bones
• Irregular shape
• Do not fit into other bone classification categories
• Pelvic bones
• Facial bones

Answer “Did You Get It?” Questions #1-2

Figure 5.1d

• Anatomy of a Long Bone

Gross Anatomy

• Diaphysis/es
• Length of the bone
• Composed of compact bone
• Outside covering of the diaphysis
• Fibrous connective tissue membrane

Anatomy of a Long Bone, continued…

• Perforating/Sharpey’s fibers
• Connective tissue fibers
• Secure periosteum to underlying bone
• Epiphysis/es
• Ends of the bone
• Thin layer of compact bone enclosing cancellous bone
• Articular cartilage
• Covers the external surface of the epiphyses
• Made of hyaline cartilage
• Decreases friction at joint surfaces
• Supply bone cells with nutrients
• Epiphyseal line
• Remnant of the epiphyseal plate
• Seen in adult bones
• Epiphyseal plate
• Flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing bone
• Hormones inhibit long bone growth by the end of puberty
• Epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, leaving epiphyseal line behind

Proximal End of a Long Bone

Epiphyseal Plate

• Medullary cavity
• Cavity inside of the shaft
• Contains yellow marrow (mostly adipose tissue) in adults
• In infants, contains red marrow (for blood cell formation)
• In adults, red marrow is in cavities of cancellous bone (flat bones) and in epiphyses (long bones)

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 or processes—grow out from the bone surface
• All begin with T
• Depressions or cavities—indentations
• All begin with F (except facet)

Table 5.1 (1 of 2)

Table 5.1 (2 of 2)

Bone Markings – Major Features

• Body/shaft/diaphysis
• Humerus, femur
• Femoral neck
• Distal femur, posterior mandible, occipital condyles
• Thoracic vertebral bodies
• Sagittal crest
• Mastoid process (temporal), styloid process (distal radius & ulna)
• Tubercle/tuberosity
• Tubercle: greater & lesser tubercle on humerus, conoid tubercle (inferior edge of lateral clavicle)
• Tuberosity: radial tuberosity, tibial tuberosity, deltoid tuberosity (humerus)
• Greater & lesser trochanters on proximal femur
• Lateral epicondyle of humerus
• Foramen/foramina
• Mental foramen (lateral mandible)
• Canal/meatus
• Canal: carotid canal (base of skull)
• Meatus: external auditory meatus
• Superior orbital fissure, inferior orbital fissure
• Frontal sinus
• Olecranon fossa (posterior, distal humerus)
• Fovea capitus on femoral head (fovea smaller than fossa)

Microscopic Anatomy of Bone

• Osteocytes – mature bone cells
• Lacunae – tiny cavities housing osteocytes
• Lamellae – concentric circles (layers) of lacunae & matrix
• Central (Haversian) canals – passageway for blood vessels & nerves
• Canaliculi – tiny canals
• Radiate from the central canal to lacunae
• Form a transport system connecting all bone cells to nutrient supply
• Perforating (Volkman’s) canals
• Canal perpendicular to the central canal
• Carries blood vessels and nerves

Figure 5.3b–c

Answer “Did You Get It?” Questions #3-4

• Bone Formation, Growth, and Remodeling
• 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

Bone Growth (Ossification)

• Ossification = process of bone formation
• Flat bones form on fibrous membranes
• Other bones develop from hyaline cartilage models
• Two phases:
• Hyaline cartilage model covered with bone matrix
• Done by osteoblasts = bone-forming cells
• Hyaline cartilage model digested away, forming a medullary cavity
• Two locations remain as cartilage after birth: articular cartilages (covering ends of bones) and epiphyseal plates

Long Bone Formation and Growth

Figure 5.4a

• Growth in Bone Length
• New cartilage is continuously formed on external surface of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
• Older cartilage becomes ossified
• Cartilage is broken down
• Enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity
• Bone replaces cartilage through the action of osteoblasts
• Growth in Bone Width; AKA appositional growth
• Osteoblasts (from periosteum) add bone to outside of diaphysis
• Osteoclasts (in endosteum) remove bone from inside of diaphysis
• Both occur at approximately the same rate, resulting in larger diameter
• Long-bone growth controlled by hormones; ends in puberty
• Growth hormone
• Sex hormones
• Bones are continually remodeled in response to two factors
• Blood calcium levels
• Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton

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 in response to parathyroid hormone
• Bone remodeling is performed by both osteoblasts & osteoclasts

Bone & Calcium Homeostasis

• Parathyroid hormone (PTH): releases Ca 2+ in blood
• ↑’s blood Ca 2+ by ↑’g osteoclast activity
• ↑ Ca resorption from urine in kidney back into blood
• Stimulates vitamin D production
• Stimulated by ↓ blood Ca 2+
• Calcitonin – stores Ca 2+ in bone
• Hypercalcemia = high blood calcium, decreases osteoclast activity
• ↓’s Ca 2+ by ↓’g osteoclast activity
• Stimulated by ↑ Ca 2+

Bone Remodeling

• Bone Remodeling = depositing new bone matrix in a mature bone
• In order to retain normal proportions & strength during long-bone growth
• In order to form projections where muscles attach
• Atrophy in bedridden or physically inactive people
• Homeostatic Imbalances

Growth & Development

• Giantism: abnormally increased size, excessive endochondral growth @ epiphyseal plates
• Dwarfism: person is abnormally small, improper growth @ epiphyseal plates
• Osteogenesis imperfecta: (bone + production + imperfect) – genetic disorders causing brittle bones with insufficient collagen; easily fractured, especially in fetus; poor healing/misalignment
• Failure of bones to calcify
• Softening & bowing of bones
• Children with lack of calcium or Vitamin D in diet

Homeostatic Imbalance

Bacterial Infection

• Osteomyelitis: bone marrow inflammation, can be caused by Stapholococcus (type of bacterium) through wounds or tuberculosis

Decalcification

• Osteomalacia: (bone softness) – due to calcium depletion from bones; pregnancy or “Adult Rickets” from vitamin D deficiency
• Bone Fractures – Homeostatic Imbalance
• Fracture — 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 broken bone ends
• Closed reduction : bones realigned via external means
• Open reduction : bones realigned via internal surgery and secured with pins/wires/plates

Common Types of Fractures

More on Fractures

complete – two bone fragments are separate

incomplete – two bone fragments are not separated

comminuted - > 2 fragments

impacted – 1 fragment pushed into cancellous portion of another fragment

oblique /spiral – at an angle other than perpendicular

greenstick – partly broken and partly bent

linear – parallel to long axis of bone

transverse – perpendicular to long axis

More Fracture Pics…

• Incomplete/Greenstick
• Longitudinal
• Dislocation

A Few More Notes on Fractures…

• Note: joint immobilization during mid-late bone healing results in 3x decrease in strength
• Muscles lose mass (atrophy)
• Bone not subject to the stresses that helps it form
• Solution = walking cast
• Repair of Bone Fractures
• Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) forms
• Blood vessels rupture when bone breaks
• Bone cells die due to lack of nutrition
• Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus
• New capillaries grow into clot
• Phagocytes remove dead tissue
• Fibrocartilage callus forms; contains cartilage matrix, bony matrix, collagen fibers
• Callus “splints” the bone
• Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus
• Osteoclasts remove fibrocartilage callus
• Osteoblasts build bony callus
• Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch
• Done in response to mechanical stresses
• Occurs over next few weeks-months

Figure 5.13b

The Vertebral Column (Spine)

• Axial support for the body
• Extends from skull (support) to pelvis (transmits body weight to lower limbs)
• Surrounds and protects the spinal cord
• Allows spinal nerves to exit spinal cord
• Site for muscle attachment
• Permits head & trunk movement

Composition:

• Composed of 26 irregular bones, connected by ligaments, creating a flexible and curved structure
• 33 vertebrae before birth
• 9 fuse to become the sacrum and coccyx
• 24 vertebral bones
• Neck: 7 cervical vertebrae
• Chest/thorax: 12 thoracic vertebrae
• Lower back: 5 lumbar vertebrae
• Intervertebral discs: pads of fibrocartilage in between vertebrae
• Absorb shock
• Provide flexibility
• Loses function with age

The Vertebral Column

• Homeostatic Imbalance: Herniated (slipped) discs
• Drying of discs
• Weakening of ligaments of vertebral column
• Exceptional twisting forces
• If disc presses on spinal cord or spinal nerves, can cause numbness and pain

Vertebral Column Damage

• “Broken Tailbone”
• Fractured coccyx
• Can occur during childbirth and from falls
• Spinal curvatures
• S-shaped curve
• Prevents shock to head
• Make body trunk flexible
• Primary curvatures are the spinal curvatures of the thoracic and sacral regions
• Present from birth
• Produce C-shape in newborns’ spine
• Secondary curvatures are the spinal curvatures of the cervical and lumbar regions
• Develop after birth
• Lumbar curvature provides ability to center body weight on lower limbs; develops as a baby begins to walk
• Cervical curvature develops as a baby begins to raise its head

Figure 5.16

• Homeostatic Imbalance: Abnormal Spine Curvatures
• Scoliosis : abnormal lateral curvature
• Kyphosis: abnormal posterior curvature
• Usually upper thoracic
• Lordosis: abnormal anterior curvature
• Causes : congenital, due to disease, poor posture, unequal muscle pull on spine

Answer “Did You Get It?” Question #’s 24-26

• Articulation/joint = point where two bones meet
• Functions of joints:
• Hold bones together
• Allow for mobility
• Ways joints are classified:
• Functionally – based an amount of movement
• Structurally – based on type of tissue between the bones

Functional Classification of Joints

• Synarthroses
• Immovable joints
• Axial skeleton
• Some cartilaginous & fibrous joints
• Amphiarthroses
• Slightly moveable joints
• Cartilaginous & some fibrous joints
• Diarthroses
• Freely moveable joints

• Freely moveable
• Fibrous Joints
• Bones united by fibrous tissue
• Connective tissue fibers binding skull bones
• Syndesmoses :

• Synarthrotic Examples (immovable):
• Epiphyseal plates (hyaline cartilage) of long bones
• Costal cartilages between first ribs and sternum (hyaline)
• Synovial Joints
• Articulating bones are separated by a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid
• All the joints of the limbs
• Features of synovial joints:
• Articular cartilage (hyaline) covers the ends of bones
• A fibrous articular capsule encloses joint surfaces; lined with synovial membrane
• Joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid
• Ligaments reinforce the joint

Synovial Joints, continued…

• Structures Associated with the Synovial Joint
• Bursae (AKA purses) – flattened fibrous sacs

Answer “Did You Get It?” Question #’s 27-30

• Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal System
• Fetal Changes
• First long bones made of hyaline cartilage
• Earliest flat bones are fibrous membranes
• During fetal development both are converted to bone
• Fontanels remain upon birth to allow for brain growth, but ossify by 2 years of age

12-week old fetus

• Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
• Adolescence
• Epiphyseal plates become ossified and long bone growth ends
• Size of cranium in relationship to body
• 2 years old—skull is ¾ of adult size
• 8 or 9 years old—skull is near adult size and proportion
• Between ages 6 and 11, the face grows out from the skull
• Jaws increase in size
• Cheekbones & nose become prominent
• Respiratory passages expand
• Permanent teeth develop

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life, continued…

• Curvatures of the spine
• Primary curvatures are present at birth and are convex posteriorly
• Secondary curvatures are convex anteriorly and are associated with a child’s later development
• Result from reshaping of the intervertebral disks
• Abnormal spinal curvatures (scoliosis and lordosis) are often congenital, but can result from injuries
• Skeletal growth changes body proportions
• Birth—head & trunk = 1.5x longer than lower limbs
• Lower limbs grow faster than trunk; reach ~= length as head & trunk by age of 10
• Puberty—female pelvis broadens; male skeleton becomes more robust
• Osteoporosis
• Bone-thinning disease afflicting
• 50% of women over age 65
• 20% of men over age 70
• Disease makes bones fragile and bones can easily fracture
• Especially vertebrae and neck of femur
• Vertebral collapse results in kyphosis (AKA dowager’s hump)
• Estrogen aids in health and normal density of a female skeleton after menopause
• Other contributing factors: diet low in calcium and protein, low vitamin D, smoking, insufficient weight-bearing exercise
• Elderly often suffer from pathologic fractures by avoiding doing anything too physical
• Osteoarthritis also occurs in weight-bearing joints
