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
• Skull and vertebrae for brain and spinal cord
• Rib cage for thoracic cavity organs
• Allow movement due to attached skeletal muscles
• Store minerals and fats
• Calcium and phosphorus
• Fat in the internal marrow cavity
• Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)

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

Classification of Bones
•Long bones
• Typically longer than they are wide
• Shaft with heads situated at both ends
• Contain mostly compact bone
• All of the bones of the limbs (except wrist,
ankle, and kneecap bones)
• Example:
• Femur

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
• Terms often begin with “T”
• Depressions or cavities—indentations
• Terms often begin with “F”

Microscopic Anatomy of Compact Bone
•Osteon (Haversian system)
•A unit of bone containing central canal and
matrix rings
•Central (Haversian) canal
•Opening in the center of an osteon

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
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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)

1 Bone is

by appositional

3 Bone is
resorbed here.
Figure 5.6
Types of Bone Cells
•Osteocytes—mature bone cells
•Osteoblasts—bone-forming cells
•Osteoclasts—giant 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 and osteoclasts
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
•Bone fractures are treated by reduction and
immobilization
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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

Gender Differences of the Pelvis
•The female inlet is larger and more circular
•The female pelvis as a whole is shallower, and
the bones are lighter and thinner
•The female ilia flare more laterally
•The female sacrum is shorter and less curved
•The female ischial spines are shorter and
farther apart; thus the outlet is larger
•The female pubic arch is more rounded
because the angle of the pubic arch is greater

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Fibrous Joints
•Bones united by collagenic fibers
•Types
• Sutures

still immobile

Features of Synovial Joints
•Articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers
the ends of bones
•Articular capsule encloses joint surfaces and
lined with synovial membrane
•Joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid
•Reinforcing ligaments

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

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
•Initial symptoms: pain, stiffness, swelling of
the joint
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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 uric acid crystals from the
blood
•Can usually be controlled with diet
•More common in men
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Developmental Aspects of the Skeletal
System
•At birth, the skull bones are incomplete
•Bones are joined by fibrous membranes called
fontanels
•Fontanels are completely replaced with bone
within two years after birth

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Fetus
•Long bones are formed of hyaline cartilage
•Flat bones begin as fibrous membranes
•Flat and long bone models are converted to
bone
•Birth
•Fontanels remain until around age 2
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
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 larger in proportion to
the body compared to that of an adult
•8 or 9 years old—skull is near adult size and
proportion
•Between ages 6 and 11, the face grows out
from the skull

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Curvatures of the spine
•Primary curvatures are present at birth and
are convex posteriorly
•Secondary curvatures are associated with a
child’s later development and are convex
anteriorly
•Abnormal spinal curvatures (scoliosis and
lordosis) are often congenital

Skeletal Changes Throughout Life
•Osteoporosis
•Bone-thinning disease afflicting
•50 percent of women over age 65
•20 percent of men over age 70
•Disease makes bones fragile and bones can
easily fracture
•Vertebral collapse results in kyphosis (also
known as dowager’s hump)
•Estrogen aids in health and normal density
of a female skeleton
