Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
The Skeleton
To retain their shapes, all organisms need some type of structural support, or skeleton. Skeletons include the external exoskeletons of arthropods and the internal endoskeletons of vertebrates.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of the Skeleton
There are 206 bones in the adult human skeleton. As seen in the figure, some of these bones are in:
The axial skeleton: supports the central axis of the body and consists of the skull, the vertebral column, and the rib cage.
The appendicular skeleton: Formed by the bones of the arms and legs, along with the bones of the pelvis and shoulder area.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Bones
What is the structure of a typical human bone?
Bones are a solid network of living cells and protein fibers that are surrounded by deposits of calcium salts.
Most of the mass of bone is mineral salts—mainly calcium and phosphorus. However, bones are living tissue.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
The bone is surrounded by a tough layer of connective tissue called periosteum.
![Page 8: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
Beneath the periosteum is a thick layer of compact bone.

Structure of Bones
Nerves and blood vessels run through compact bone in channels called Haversian canals.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
A less dense tissue known as spongy bone may be found under the outer layer of compact bone.
![Page 11: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
Spongy bone is found in the ends of long bones such as the femur and in the middle of short, flat bones such as those found in the skull. The latticework structure in spongy bone adds strength without adding excess mass.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
Within many bones are cavities that contain a soft tissue called bone marrow.
![Page 13: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Bones
Yellow marrow consists primarily of cells that store fat.
Red marrow contains stem cells that produce most types of blood cells

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Development of Bones
The skeleton of a human embryo is composed almost entirely of a type of connective tissue called cartilage. Cartilage is gradually replaced by bone during the process of bone formation called ossification, which begins up to seven months before birth.
![Page 15: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Development of Bones
Bone tissue forms as cells called osteoblasts secrete mineral deposits that replace the cartilage in developing bones. As bone tissue completes its development, most osteoblasts mature into osteocytes, which help to maintain the minerals in bone tissue and continue to strengthen the growing bone.
![Page 16: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Development of Bones
Many long bones have growth plates at either end.
• The growth of cartilage at these plates causes the bones to lengthen. The cartilage is gradually replaced by bone.
• During late adolescence or early adulthood, growth plates become completely ossified, and the person “stops growing.”

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Development of Bones
Cartilage remains in parts of the body that are flexible, such as the tip of the nose and the external part of ears. It also cushions the areas where bones meet, such as in the knee.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Bone Remodeling and Repair
Bones are remodeled throughout life by osteoblasts, which continue to build bone tissue, and osteoclasts—cells that break down bone minerals. Without the continual breakdown of old bone tissue and buildup of new bone tissue, bones would become brittle and weak.
![Page 19: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Bone Remodeling and Repair
Some older adults, especially women, develop a disorder called osteoporosis. In osteoporosis, osteoclasts break down bone much faster than osteoblasts rebuild it. Osteoporosis leads to weak bones due to excessive decrease in bone density. Research suggests that consuming plenty of calcium and performing weight-bearing exercise could help to prevent this serious problem.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
A place where one or more bones meet another bone is called a joint. The knee joint is shown. Joints contain connective tissues that hold bones together. Joints permit bones to move without damaging each other.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Types of Joints
Depending on its type of movement, a joint is classified as:
• Immovable,• Slightly movable,• Freely movable.
![Page 22: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Types of Joints
Many freely movable joints are involved in the movements of a gymnast.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Immovable Joints
Immovable joints, often called fixed joints, allow no movement. The bones at an immovable joint are interlocked and grow together until they are fused. The places where the bones in the skull meet are examples of immovable joints.
![Page 24: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Slightly Movable Joints
Slightly movable joints permit a small amount of movement. Unlike the bones of immovable joints, the bones of slightly movable joints are separated from each other. The joints between the two bones of the lower leg and the joints between vertebrae are examples of slightly movable joints.
![Page 25: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Joints
Freely movable joints permit movement in two or more directions and are grouped according to the shapes of the surfaces of the adjacent bones.
In freely movable joints, cartilage covers the surfaces where two bones come together and protects the bones from damage as they move against each other. The joints are also surrounded by a fibrous joint capsule that helps hold the bones together while still allowing for movement. The outer layer of the capsule is called ligament.
![Page 26: Skeletal+system](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013011/5565d70dd8b42ae8258b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Structure of Joints
The inner layer of the joint capsule, called the synovial cavity, produces a substance called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid enables the surfaces of the bones connected at the joint to slide over each other smoothly.
In some freely movable joints, such as the knee, there are small sacs of synovial fluid called bursae (singular: bursa). Bursae reduce the friction between the bones of a joint and any tissues they come in contact with and also act as tiny shock absorbers.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Joint Injuries
A common injury among athletes is damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. This ligament is found in the center of the knee between the femur and the tibia. It prevents the tibia from shifting too far forward during movements. ACL damage can be caused by the rapid pivoting, leaping, and forceful contacts that occur when playing sports like basketball and soccer.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Joint Injuries
Excessive strain on a joint may produce inflammation, a response in which excess fluid causes swelling, pain, heat, and redness. Inflammation of a bursa is called bursitis.

Lesson Overview The Skeletal System
Joint Injuries
Wear and tear over the years often leads to osteoarthritis, which develops as the cartilage of often-used joints in the fingers, knees, hips, and spine begins to break down. The affected joints become painful and stiff as unprotected bones start to rub together.
