The Bones of the Skeleton: The Bones of the Skeleton: ClassificationClassification
206 bones make up the skeleton:206 bones make up the skeleton: Axial skeleton (skull and vertebral column)Axial skeleton (skull and vertebral column) Appendicular skeleton (limbs)Appendicular skeleton (limbs) Bone classification: Bone classification: Long bones (eg. femur)Long bones (eg. femur) Short bones (metacarpals, metatarsals)Short bones (metacarpals, metatarsals) Flat bones (scapula, ileum, facial)Flat bones (scapula, ileum, facial) Irregular bones (vertebrae)Irregular bones (vertebrae)
Joints, Ligaments, TendonsJoints, Ligaments, Tendons
Classification of joints:Classification of joints: Immoveable (skull, sacro-iliac)Immoveable (skull, sacro-iliac) Limited motion (symphysis pubis, Limited motion (symphysis pubis,
vertebral)vertebral) Synovial/ freely moveable (synovial Synovial/ freely moveable (synovial
membrane lining the joint, secreting membrane lining the joint, secreting lubricating synovial fluid for movement)lubricating synovial fluid for movement)
Ligaments: articulate bone with boneLigaments: articulate bone with bone Tendons: attach bone to adjacent muscles Tendons: attach bone to adjacent muscles
Bone TissueBone Tissue
Cancellous (spongy): more open planCancellous (spongy): more open plan Cortical (compact): more close togetherCortical (compact): more close together Lacunae (bone matrix units): arranged in Lacunae (bone matrix units): arranged in
irregular network, “trabeculae”irregular network, “trabeculae” Periosteum: dense fibrous covering of the Periosteum: dense fibrous covering of the
bones (attaches ligaments, tendons)bones (attaches ligaments, tendons) Yellow bone marrow: long bone diaphysisYellow bone marrow: long bone diaphysis Red marrow: flat bones, vertebrae, ribs, Red marrow: flat bones, vertebrae, ribs,

Long BonesLong Bones
The shaft of long bones (diaphysis) is The shaft of long bones (diaphysis) is cortical tissue for weight-bearingcortical tissue for weight-bearing
The ends of long bones (epiphyses) The ends of long bones (epiphyses) are cancellous tissue are cancellous tissue
The ends of long bones are covered The ends of long bones are covered at joints with cartilageat joints with cartilage
The epiphyseal plate: area of growth The epiphyseal plate: area of growth in childhood, puberty. This is calcified in childhood, puberty. This is calcified in adulthood in adulthood
Types of Bone Cells (Osteocytes)Types of Bone Cells (Osteocytes)
Bone is a dynamic tissue constantly Bone is a dynamic tissue constantly reforming and resorbing:reforming and resorbing:
Osteoblasts (bone formation)Osteoblasts (bone formation)
Osteoclasts (bone destruction, Osteoclasts (bone destruction, resorption, remolding)resorption, remolding)
Ossification (Bone Formation): Ossification (Bone Formation): Osteoblasts Osteoblasts
Osteoblasts secrete collagen and Osteoblasts secrete collagen and glycoproteins to form a bone matrixglycoproteins to form a bone matrix
Deposit minerals in the matrix (calcium, Deposit minerals in the matrix (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, chloride)magnesium, phosphorus, chloride)
Two ways:Two ways: Intramembranous (face and skull) from Intramembranous (face and skull) from
fibrous tissuefibrous tissue Endochondrial (long bones) from cartilage Endochondrial (long bones) from cartilage
Bone Maintenance: Bone Maintenance: Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts
Bone formation by osteoblasts and Bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts is influenced by:resorption by osteoclasts is influenced by:
Local stress: usage/ weight-bearing aids Local stress: usage/ weight-bearing aids bone formationbone formation
(Immobility leads to increased calcium (Immobility leads to increased calcium resorption from bone and osteoporosis)resorption from bone and osteoporosis)

Interrupted blood supply causing Interrupted blood supply causing devitalisation of fractured endsdevitalisation of fractured ends
Bone Healing: Stage 2 Bone Healing: Stage 2
Inflammatory process and Inflammatory process and neovascularisation: neovascularisation:
Macrophages promote physiological Macrophages promote physiological debridement (inflammation, swelling, debridement (inflammation, swelling, pain, loss of function for several days) pain, loss of function for several days)
Fibrin strands form within fracture Fibrin strands form within fracture haematoma as network for haematoma as network for revascularisation, fibroblasts, revascularisation, fibroblasts, osteoblasts osteoblasts
Bone Healing: Stage 3Bone Healing: Stage 3
Callus formation:Callus formation: Collagen and fibrous connective tissue Collagen and fibrous connective tissue
