Bone Function and Formation
Chapter 7 (Part 1)
Parts of a Long Bone
Long bones are defined as any bone that is longer than it is wide.

Parts of a Long Bone
The expanded bulge at each end of a long bone is called the epiphysis The epiphysis articulates with other bones Each long bone has a proximal epiphysis
and a distal epiphysis The epiphyseal surface that articulates with
other bones is covered in articular cartilage

Parts of a Long Bone
The long shaft of the bone is called the diaphysis

Parts of a Long Bone
Bones are covered in a thin, tough layer called the periosteum. The periosteum covers the entire bone,
except where there is articular cartilage It is firmly attached to the bone and is
continuous with ligaments and tendons connecting to the bone.

Parts of a Long Bone
The wall of the diaphysis is composed mostly of compact bone Very tightly packed
bone cells No spaces in the
extracellular matrix.

Parts of a Long Bone
In the center of the diaphysis, is a tube called the medullary cavity.
Special layer of cells called the endosteum produce marrow inside the cavity.

Marrow
Bone marrow comes in two different types Red marrow produces red blood cells,
white blood cells, and platelets Yellow marrow stores fat inside the bone As we age, red marrow is replaced with
yellow marrow The two can be converted from one to the
other, as needed.
Parts of a Long Bone
The epiphysis is composed mostly of spongy bone. Lots of space
between bone cells Only a very thin layer
of compact bone covers the epiphysis
Helps to reduce the bone’s weight

Microscopic Anatomy
Bone is composed of cells called osteocytes (os- = bone) Found in small chambers called lacunae
Surround osteocytesMade of hard extracellular material (bone
matrix) Calcium carbonate Calcium phosphate
Microscopic Anatomy
Bone matrix is deposited in concentric circles called lamellae (singular: lamella)
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

Microscopic Anatomy
The lamellae surround a central canal
Every central canal contains a blood vessel that supplies nutrients to the osteocytes in the surrounding lamellae

Microscopic Anatomy
Osteocytes have cytoplasmic extensions called canaliculi
Used to help osteocytes obtain nutrients & communicate with surrounding osteocytes

Bone Formation
During development, tissue that will become bone starts off as cartilage
There are two basic ways bone can form: Intramembranous Bone Endochondral Bone
Intramembranous Bone
These bones develop into thin, sheet-like bones like those found in the cranium
Originates between two sheet-like layers of connective tissue
Bone forming cells called osteoblasts lay down spongy bone near the center between the membranes
Cells of the membrane form the periosteum Cells of the periosteum produce osteoblasts
that form compact bone to surround the spongy bone.
Intramembranous Bone

Intramembranous Bone
Endochondral Bone
Most of the bones are endochondral1. Blob of cartilage, shaped somewhat
like the bone they will become, is what we start with
Endochondral Bone
2. Near the middle of the long bone (diaphysis), the cartilage breaks down.
3. Osteoblasts invade the space left by cartilage breaking down, forming spongy bone This is called the primary
ossification center 4. Osteoblasts lay down a
periosteum to surround the diaphysis
Endochondral Bone
5. After a time of growth and ossification in the diaphysis, the cartilage in the epiphyses begins to break down
6. Osteoblasts invade the areas in the epiphyses Create a secondary ossificaiton center
Endochondral Bone
Endochondral Bone
As the primary and secondary ossification centers grow toward each other, they form an epiphyseal plate
AKA: Growth Plate

Endochondral Bone
As toddlers and teenagers grow, bones lengthen by laying down new bone matrix from the epiphyseal plate
Damage = bad!

Homeostasis of Bones
Throughout life, old bone tissue is broken down and “digested” by osteoclasts
New bone tissue is formed by osteoblasts.
Bone Function
Support the bodyProtect internal organsAllow for attachment of muscles that
help up moveProduce blood cellsStore inorganic salts
Protection
The skull protects the brain, eyes, nasal & oral passages
The ribs protect the heart, lungs, windpipe, and esophagus
Pelvis (hips) protect internal reproductive organs (female) and the urinary bladder.
Movement
Bones (and their associated muscles) act as levers in the body
Levers have three parts: A long, rigid rod or bar (the bone) A pivot point (a joint) Something that supplies a force to move
the rod (muscle)
Blood Cell Formation
Blood cells form in the spleen and liver during prenatal development
Later, they form in the red marrow found in the medullary cavities of long bones.
Hematopoiesis

Storage of Inorganic Salts
This is another homeostatic mechanism You know how much I love to test you on
theseThe bones store a reserve of calcium
salts, which are vital to metabolic processes and muscle contraction
The glands involved in this HM are the thyroid and parathyroid
Storage of Inorganic Salts
If blood calcium levels get too low: Parathyroid (receptor) releases parathyroid
hormone to stimulate osteoclast activity. Osteoclasts (effectors) break down bone
tissue, releasing calcium saltsIf blood calcium levels get too high:
Thyroid gland releases calcitonin, which activates osteoblasts
Osteoblasts store calcium by forming new bone tissue.

Osteoperosis
Caused by increased osteoclast and decreased osteoblast activity.
Bone tissue is broken down and replaced with fatty tissue
Bones break easilyMost common in fair-skinned females
after menopause Some research suggests it is due to a
decline in Vitamin D

Osteoperosis
Preventing the disease: Avoid smoking and excess alcohol Exercise (especially early in life) Bone mass usually begins to dwindle in the
mid-30s. As you near this age, begin to take in extra calcium (milk or supplements)
Be sure to get plenty of Vitamin D Take supplements Spend 10-15 minutes in direct sunlight everyday.
Your skin makes Vitamin D using UV light.
