  1. ST110 Concorde Career College, Portland Skeletal System

  2. Objectives • Define the term skeleton. • Describe the functions of the skeletal system. • List and identify the structures of the skeletal system and describe the function of each. • Identify the types of bone.

  3. Objectives • List the types of joints and describe the function of each. • List the classifications of bone and provide examples of each. • Describe the processes of bone formation and bone healing.

  4. Objectives • Describe the mechanism by which the skeletal system helps to maintain homeostasis. • Describe common diseases, disorders, and conditions of the skeletal system including signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatment options. • Demonstrate knowledge of medical terminology related to the skeletal system verbally and in the written form.

  5. Skeleton

  6. Introduction • Includes all bones of the body (206) and includes cartilage, tendons, and ligaments • Cartilage – connective tissue that provides a smooth surface for bone movement (articulation) • Ligaments – connective tissue that attaches bone to bone (ligaments also support abdominal organs) • Tendons – connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone • Serves as a framework for the body • Composed of living tissue

  7. Functions • Supports and stabilizes surrounding tissues such as muscles, blood vessels, nerves, fat, and skin • Protects vital body organs such as the brain, spine, heart, and lungs and protects other soft tissues of the body • Assists in body movement by providing attachments for muscles that pull on bones • Matures blood cells • Stores mineral salts (e.g., calcium)

  8. Types of Bone Cells • Osteoprogenitor - Stem cell that is destined to become bone • Osteoblast - Bone building cell • Osteocyte - Mature bone cell • Osteoclast - Resorption (breakdown)

  9. Bone Cells • Osteoprogenitor (osteogenic) Cells: • Stem cells of skeletal tissue • Composes the Inner layer of periosteum and the single layer of endosteum • Functions: formation of fetal bone and repair of fractures • Differentiate into Osteoblasts (good blood supply) and Chondroblasts (limited blood supply)

  10. Bone Cells • Osteoblasts: • form bone matrix • Develop into osteocytes • Osteocytes: • responsible for maintaining bone matrix (develop from osteoblasts) • Osteoclasts: • Breakdown and resorption of bone • Activated by parathyroid hormone • Differentiated from blood monocytes

  11. Bone Cells

  12. Growth and Development • Osseous tissue • Longitudinal growth occurs until the age of 15-16 • Bone maturation occurs around the age of 21

  13. Embryonic Development of Bone • Skeleton is initially composed of cartilage and gradually replaced with bone via two methods • Intramembranous Ossification: Develops flat bones of the cranium, facial bones, Mandible and clavicle • Endochondrial Ossification: long bones, etc. (the rest of the bones) Cartilage > Bone

  14. Embryologic Development

  15. Epiphyseal Plate • Located at the junction between the diaphysis and each epiphysis • Area of growth (allows bone to lengthen) • Around age 16-25 Epiphyseal plate ossifies marking full maturity (end of growth)

  16. Epiphyseal Plate

  17. Epiphyseal Plate

  18. Bone Remodeling • Bones undergo a lifetime of remodeling and adapting to stress • Remodeling maintains bone structure and strength as well as ensures constant supply of calcium to the body • Osteoclasts absorb bone that is then replaced by new compact bone • When low blood calcium levels are detected parathyroid hormone releases and stimulates the osteoclasts. When high blood calcium occurs, calcium is stored in bone. • When normal blood calcium levels are reached the thyroid releases calcitonin. Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblasts (negative feedback loop)

  19. Factors that Affect Bone Maintinance • Hormonal influence • Exercise: weight-bearing exercise is important in maintaining bone strength • Osteoporosis: results when bone matrix is lost faster then replaced • Nutrition: key factor in maintenance of normal bones • Scurvy: results form a deficiency in vitamin C, shaft of long bone becomes thin and fragile predisposing the person to fractures • Rickets: results form vitamin D deficiency, causes poorly calcified, semiriged bones that bend under bodies weight (bowed legs, knock-knees)

  20. Scurvy

  21. Rickets

  22. Two Types of Bone 1. Cortical - Hard compact bone found in the shaft of long bones and makes up the outer layer of all other bones. 2. Cancellous (trabecular) - Soft spongy bone found at the ends of long bones and at the center of all other bones.

  23. Compact Bone 75% Spongy Bone 25%

  24. Bone Types

  25. Cortical Bone • Dense and strong • Osteon (Haversian System) • Rings of mineral salts that allow bone cell metabolism • Central Canals • Small canals that contain blood vessels • Lamella-surrounds central canals • Lacunae-tiny cavities in between lamella that contain osteocytes

  26. Cortical Bone • Canaliculi-connect the lacunae and central canals Volkmann (perforating) canals-run horizontally and contain blood vessels

  27. Haversian System

  28. Cancellous Bone • Spongy bone • Located at the ends of long bones and forms the center of all other bones • Trabeculae • Meshwork of interconnecting bone secretions • Gives strength to bone • Filled with lamellae and osteocytes

  29. Skeletal System Bone Membranes • Periosteum - Covers the outside of the bone with the exception of the articulating surface and contains osteoblasts for bone growth and repair. • Endosteum - Lines the marrow cavity and also contains growth and repair cells.

  30. Periosteum • Layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds bone • Functions: • Layer of defense to protect from infection • Forms new bone cells • Full of nerves and blood vessels to aid in nourishment of bone • Attachment for tendons and ligaments • **Due to these various functions the orthopedic surgeon will approximate the periosteal layer when incised

  31. Periosteum

  32. Medullary Canal • Canal that runs down the middle of bone • Contains semisolid tissue Red Bone Marrow • Located in the spaces of spongy bone found in the ends of long bones, sternum, vertebrae, and ribs • In adults RBM is replaced with yellow bone marrow • Functions: production of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets • Endosteum: fibrous layer of tissue that lines medullary cavity

  33. Bone Marrow Red Bone Marrow • Fills in spaces in cancellous bone • Richly supplied with blood • Hematopoiesis • Blood cells in all stages of development • Gradually decreases with age

  34. Bone Marrow Yellow Bone Marrow • Contains fat cells • Found in the medullary cavity (canal)

  35. Bone Identification • Shapes • Long • Short • Flat • Irregular • Sesamoid • Markings • Projections • Depressions

  36. Bone Shapes

  37. Long Bones • Length exceeds width • Diaphysis-shaft of mainly compact bone • Thickness • Curvature • Medullary cavity • Femur, radius, humerus

  38. Structure of a Long Bone

  39. Long Bones • Metaphysis-flared portion on each end consisting of spongy bone • Epiphysis-on the end out from the metaphysis consisting of spongy bone • Epiphyseal line (plate - growth)

  40. Short Bones • No long axis • Irregular shaped • Thin layer of compact tissue over cancellous • Carpal bones

  41. Flat Bones • Very thin bones that attach to muscle and/or protect vital areas • Sternum, bones of the skull

  42. Flat Bones

  43. Irregular Bones • Very strange shape • Layers of Compact bone over spongy bone • Ossicles, vertebrae

  44. Irregular Bones

  45. Sesamoid Bone • Small, round • Enclosed in a tendon • Adjacent to joints • Kneecap, patella

  46. Sesamoid Bone

  47. Bone Markings-Processes (projections) • Obvious bony prominence • Types • Spine-sharp, slender projection • Condyle-rounded or knuckle-like prominence • Tubercle-small round process • Trochlea-process shaped like a pulley • Trochanter-very large projection

  48. Bone Markings-Processes • Crest - narrow ridge of bone • Line - a little less prominent ridge of bone • Head - an enlargement at the end of the terminal • Neck - part of a bone that connects the head or terminal enlargement to the rest of the bone
