![Page 2: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cartilage
• Hyaline – articular, tracheal rings, costal cartilages, nose apex
• Elastic – 2 locations: ear, epiglottis
• Fibrocartilage – dense collagen interspersed w/ chondrocytes, & found in vertebral discs & menisci
![Page 3: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cartilage cont.
• Cartilage growth is limited by a lack of blood vessels and nerve supply.
• Overall thickness limited by diffusion from the perichondral BV’s into the cartilage.
• Consists of flexible matrix which accommodates mitosis making it an excellent embryonic skeleton
![Page 4: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Growth of Cartilage
• Appositional – cells in the perichondrium secrete matrix against the external face of existing cartilage
• Interstitial – lacunae-bound chondrocytes inside the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix, expanding the cartilage from within
• Calcification of cartilage occurs– During normal bone growth– During old age

Bone Development
• Osteogenesis and ossification – the process of bone tissue formation, which leads to:– The formation of the bony skeleton in embryos– Bone growth until early adulthood– Bone thickness, remodeling, and repair
![Page 34: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Formation of the Bony Skeleton
• Begins at week 8 of embryo development
• Intramembranous ossification – bone develops from a fibrous membrane
• Endochondral ossification – bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage
![Page 35: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Intramembranous Ossification
• Formation of most of the flat bones of the skull and the clavicles
• Fibrous connective tissue membranes are formed by mesenchymal cells
![Page 36: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Stages of Intramembranous Ossification
• An ossification center appears in the fibrous connective tissue membrane
• Bone matrix is secreted within the fibrous membrane
• Woven bone and periosteum form
• Bone collar of compact bone forms, and red marrow appears

• Formation of bone collar
• Cavitation of the hyaline cartilage
• Invasion of internal cavities by the periosteal bud, and spongy bone formation
• Formation of the medullary cavity; appearance of secondary ossification centers in the epiphyses
• Ossification of the epiphyses, with hyaline cartilage remaining only in the epiphyseal plates

Importance of Ionic Calcium in the Body
• Calcium is necessary for:– Transmission of nerve impulses– Muscle contraction– Blood coagulation– Secretion by glands and nerve cells– Cell division
![Page 58: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Response to Mechanical Stress
• Wolff’s law – a bone grows or remodels in response to the forces or demands placed upon it
• Observations supporting Wolff’s law include– Long bones are thickest midway along the shaft
(where bending stress is greatest)– Curved bones are thickest where they are most
likely to buckle
![Page 59: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Response to Mechanical Stress
• Trabeculae form along lines of stress
• Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach
![Page 60: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

Bone Fractures (Breaks)
• Bone fractures are classified by:– The position of the bone ends after fracture– The completeness of the break– The orientation of the bone to the long axis– Whether or not the bones ends penetrate the
skin
![Page 62: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Types of Bone Fractures
• Nondisplaced – bone ends retain their normal position
• Displaced – bone ends are out of normal alignment
![Page 63: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Types of Bone Fractures
• Complete – bone is broken all the way through
• Incomplete – bone is not broken all the way through
• Linear – the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
![Page 64: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Types of Bone Fractures
• Transverse – the fracture is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone
• Compound (open) – bone ends penetrate the skin
• Simple (closed) – bone ends do not penetrate the skin

Common Types of Fractures
• Comminuted – bone fragments into three or more pieces; common in the elderly
• Spiral – ragged break when bone is excessively twisted; common sports injury
• Depressed – broken bone portion pressed inward; typical skull fracture

Common Types of Fractures
• Compression – bone is crushed; common in porous bones
• Epiphyseal – epiphysis separates from diaphysis along epiphyseal line; occurs where cartilage cells are dying
• Greenstick – incomplete fracture where one side of the bone breaks and the other side bends; common in children

Aging and Changes of Bone
• Osteomalcia (Rickets)
• Osteopenia age 30-40y– 8% vs. 3% per decade female & male
• Osteoporosis – Females worse than males 33% vs 20% 45-75y– White more prone than black people
Osteomyelitis, Pagets Disease, etc.

Homeostatic Imbalances
• Osteomalacia– Bones are inadequately mineralized causing
softened, weakened bones– Main symptom is pain when weight is put on
the affected bone– Caused by insufficient calcium in the diet, or by
vitamin D deficiency
![Page 73: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalances
• Rickets– Bones of children are inadequately mineralized
causing softened, weakened bones– Bowed legs and deformities of the pelvis, skull,
and rib cage are common– Caused by insufficient calcium in the diet, or by
vitamin D deficiency
![Page 74: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Isolated Cases of Rickets
• Rickets has been essentially eliminated in the US
• Only isolated cases appear
• Example: Infants of breastfeeding mothers deficient in Vitamin D will also be Vitamin D deficient and develop rickets

Homeostatic Imbalances
• Osteoporosis– Group of diseases in which bone reabsorption
outpaces bone deposit– Spongy bone of the spine is most vulnerable– Occurs most often in postmenopausal women– Bones become so fragile that sneezing or
stepping off a curb can cause fractures
![Page 76: Chapter 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/56815166550346895dbf933f/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Osteoporosis: Treatment
• Calcium and vitamin D supplements
• Increased weight-bearing exercise
• Hormone (estrogen) replacement therapy (HRT) slows bone loss
• Natural progesterone cream prompts new bone growth
• Statins increase bone mineral density

Developmental Aspects of Bones
• By age 25, nearly all bones are completely ossified
• In old age, bone resorption predominates
• A single gene that codes for vitamin D docking determines both the tendency to accumulate bone mass early in life, and the risk for osteoporosis later in life
