Functions of the skeletal system • __________________(support for body, attachment for soft tissues) • Storage of _______________ (calcium and phosphate) • Calcium most abundant mineral in body (~2–4 lb) • 98% stored in bones • Blood ____________ production (all formed elements of blood) • Protection (delicate tissues and organs surrounded by bone) • ____________________ (act as levers with skeletal muscles to move body)
Quick Review • Six categories based on shape • ____________ bones • Thin, roughly parallel surfaces • Examples: cranial bones, sternum • Sutural bones (Wormian bones) • Irregular bones formed between cranial bones • Number, size, and shape vary • ___________ bones • Relatively long and slender • Examples: various bones of the limbs
Six categories based on shape (continued) • Irregular bones • Complex shapes • Examples: vertebrae, bones of pelvis, facial bones • _______________ bones • Small, flat, and somewhat shaped like sesame seed • Develop in tendons of knee, hands, and feet • Individual variation in location and number • Short bones • Small and boxy • Examples: bones of the wrist (carpals) and ankles (tarsals)
Functions of Bone • Bones are important mineral reservoirs • Mostly _____________________________ but other ions as well • Calcium • Most abundant mineral in body • 1–2 kg (2–4 lb) • ~__________% deposited in skeleton • Variety of physiological functions • Concentration variation greater than 30–35% affects neuron and muscle function • Normal daily fluctuations are <10%
Levels controlled by activities of: • Intestines • Absorb calcium and phosphate under hormonal control • Bones • Remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts • Kidneys • Calcium and phosphate loss in urine under hormonal control • As a calcium reserve, skeleton has primary role in calcium _________________________ • Has direct effect on shape and length of bones • Release of calcium into blood weakens bones • Deposit of calcium salts strengthens bones
Factors that increase blood calcium levels • ____________________ hormone • Responses • Bones: stimulates osteoclasts to release calcium • Intestines: enhances calcitriol effects and increases calcium absorption • Kidneys: increase release of hormone calcitriol, which causes calcium reabsorption in kidneys
Factors that decrease blood calcium levels • ___________________ • Responses • Bone: decrease osteoclast activity • Intestines: decreased absorption with decreasing PTH and calcitriol • Kidneys: inhibits calcitriol release and calcium reabsorption
Long bone features • ______________________ (expanded ends) • Consist largely of _________________ bone (trabecular bone) • Network of struts and plates • Resists forces from various directions and directs body weight to diaphysis and joints • Outer covering of ______________________ bone • Strong, organized bone • Articular _________________________ • Covers portions of epiphysis that form articulations • Avascular and receives resources from synovial fluid
Long bone features (continued) • _____________________________ (connects epiphysis to shaft) • ______________________ (shaft) • Contains medullary cavity (marrow cavity) • Filled with marrow • Red bone marrow (red blood cell production) • Yellow bone marrow (adipose storage)
Figure 6.2 1 - 2 Coronal sections through a right femur, showing the boundaries of a long bone’s major regions, plus the bone’s internal organization and how it distributes the forces applied to the bone The epiphysis consists largely of spongy bone, also called trabecular bone. Spongy bone consists of an open network of struts and plates that resembles latticework with a thin covering, or cortex, of compact bone. Body weight (applied force) The epiphysis (e-PIF-i-sis) is an expanded area found at each end of the bone. The metaphysis (me-TAF-i-sis; meta, between) is a narrow zone that connects the epiphysis to the shaft of the bone. The wall of the diaphysis consists of a layer of compact bone. Tension on lateral side of shaft The medullary cavity (medulla, innermost part), or marrow cavity, is a space within the hollow shaft. In life, it is filled with bone marrow, a highly vascular tissue. Red bone marrow is highly vascular and involved in the production of blood cells. Yellow bone marrow is adipose tissue important in the storage of energy reserves. The diaphysis (shaft) is long and tubular. Compression on medial side of shaft Metaphysis Epiphysis
Figure 6.2 3 A longitudinal section of the humerus, showing the extensive|network of blood vessels in long bones An articular cartilage covers portions ofthe epiphysis that articulate with other bones. The cartilage is avascular, and itrelies primarily on diffusion from thesynovial fluid to obtain oxygen andnutrients and eliminate wastes. Epiphyseal arteryand vein The metaphyseal artery (red) andmetaphyseal vein (blue) carry blood toand from the area of the metaphysis and tothe epiphysis through epiphyseal arteriesand veins. Metaphysis Most bones have only onenutrient artery (shown inred) and one nutrient vein(shown in blue), but a fewbones, including the femur,have more than one of each. Periosteum Compactbone Medullarycavity A nutrient foramen is a tunnel that penetrates thediaphysis and providesaccess for the nutrient arteryand/or vein. Branches ofthese large vessels supplythe osteons of thesurrounding compact bonebefore entering andsupplying the tissues of themedullary cavity. Metaphysealartery and vein Metaphysis
Bone vasculature • Growth and maintenance requires extensive _______________________ supply • Vascular features • Nutrient artery/vein (commonly one each/bone) • Nutrient __________________(tunnel providing access to marrow cavity) • Also supplies osteons of compact bone with blood • Metaphyseal artery/vein • Carry blood to/from metaphysis • Connects to epiphyseal arteries/veins

Bone cells • Four bone cell types • __________________________ (osteo-, bone + cyte, cell) • Mature bone cells that cannot divide • Most numerous bone cell type • Maintain protein and mineral content of adjacent matrix • Dissolve matrix to release minerals • Rebuild matrix to deposit mineral crystals • Occupy ____________________(pocket) • Separated by layers of matrix (lamellae) • Connected with canaliculi
______________________ (blast, precursor) • Produce new bony matrix (osteogenesisor ossification) • Begins with release of proteins and other organic components to produce unmineralized matrix (= osteoid) • Then assists in depositing calcium salts to convert osteoid to bone • Become osteocytes once surrounded by bony matrix
Figure 6.3 1 - 2 The structures of osteocytes and osteoblasts within a long bone The layers of matrix are called lamellae (lah-MEL-lē; singular, lamella, a thin plate). Narrow passageways called canaliculi penetrate the lamellae, radiating through the matrix and connecting lacunae to one another and to various blood vessels that supply nutrients. Osteocytes account for most of the cell population in bone. Each osteocyte occupies a lacuna, a pocket sandwiched between layers of matrix. Osteocytes cannot divide, and a lacuna never containsmore than one osteocyte. Osteoblast Osteoid

In preparing this micrograph, a small piece of bone was ground down until it was thin enough to transmit light. In this process, the lacunae and canaliculi are filled with bone dust, and thus appear black. Central canal Perforating canal
