The Skeletal System
Essential Question
What is the purpose of the

skeletal system?
The Skeletal System
 Parts of the skeletal system
 Bones (skeleton)
 Joints
 Cartilages
 Ligaments (bone to bone)(tendon=bone to
muscle)
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.1
The Skeletal System
• Skeleton comes from a Greek word
meaning dried up body.
• Bone appears dead and dried up, but it
is not!
• Bone is living tissue
• Newborn human has 350 bones
• Adult human has 206 bones
Functions of Bones
 Support of the body (framework)

 Protection of soft organs
 Serve as levers (with help from
muscles)
 Storage of minerals and fats (calcium)
 Blood cell formation
Bones of the Human Body
 Two basic types of bone tissue

 Compact bone
 Dense/hard
 Spongy bone
 (Cancellous)
 Many open spaces Figure 5.2b
Decrease wt of bone/contain red bone

marrow Slide 5.3

Classification of Bones
 Long bones
 Typically longer than wide
 Have a shaft with heads at both ends
 Contain mostly compact bone
 Found in legs and arms
• Examples: Femur, humerus
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.4a
 Short bones
 Generally cube-shape and small
 Contain mostly spongy bone
 Found in wrist, ankles, and toes
 Examples: Carpals, tarsals

Classification of Bones on the
Basis of Shape
Figure 5.1
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.4c
 Flat bones
 Thin and flattened
 Usually curved
 Cover organs/provide surface for lg. muscle
 Thin layers of compact bone around a layer
of spongy bone
 Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide 5.5a
 Irregular bones
 Irregular shape
 Do not fit into other bone classification
categories
 Example: Vertebrae and hip
Gross Anatomy of a Bone
 Diaphysis
 Shaft
 Composed of
compact bone
 Epiphysis
 Ends of the bone
 Composed mostly
of spongy bone
Structure of a Long Bone
 Periosteum
 Outside covering of the
diaphysis
 Fibrous connective tissue
membrane
Serves as an attachment
for muscle
 Arteries
 Supply bone cells with
nutrients
 Articular cartilage
 Covers the external
surface of the
epiphyses
 Made of hyaline
cartilage
 Decreases friction
at joint surfaces
 Medullary cavity
 Cavity of the shaft
 Contains yellow
marrow (mostly fat)
in adults
 Contains red
marrow (for blood
cell formation) in
infants
Changes in the Human Skeleton
 In embryos, the skeleton is primarily hyaline
cartilage
 During development, much of this cartilage
is replaced by bone
 Cartilage remains in isolated areas
 Bridge of the nose
 Parts of ribs
 Joints
Bone Growth
 Epiphyseal plates allow for growth of

long bone during childhood
 New cartilage is continuously formed
 Older cartilage becomes ossified
 Cartilage is broken down
 Bone replaces cartilage
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slide

Bone Growth
 Bones are remodeled and lengthened

until growth stops
 Grow longitudinally for height
 Bones grow in width to support weight

Epiphyseal Disc
• Refer to figure 8-3
• Growth plate
• The cartilage near the epiphyseal disc
multiplies and eventually becomes
ossified (turns to bone)
• As long as new cartilage continues to
form the bone continues to lengthen.
Epiphyseal Disc (cont.)
• When the growth plate hardens and
becomes ossified, growth stops
• Hormones play a big part in this
• Growth hormone stimulates growth
• Sex hormones stop growth
Bone Width
• Long after longitudinal bone growth has
stopped, bones continue to grow in
thickness and width.
• Bones are continuously being reshaped
Types of Bone Cells
 Osteocytes
 Mature bone cells
 Osteoblasts
 Bone-forming cells
 Osteoclasts
 Bone-destroying cells
 Break down bone matrix for remodeling and
release of calcium
 Bone remodeling is a process by both
osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Bone Remodeling
• A combined action of osteoblasts (bone
forming cells) and osteoclasts (bone
destroying cells)
• Osteoblasts deposit bone on the
external bone surface
• Figure 8-5 (like a brick layer)
• Osteoclasts break down bone from the
inside
• Figure 8-5 (like a sculptor)
Long Bone Formation and Growth
Figure 5.4a

Bone Fractures
 A break in a bone
 Types of bone fractures
 Closed (simple) fracture – break that does not
penetrate the skin
 Open (compound) fracture – broken bone
penetrates through the skin
 Bone fractures are treated by reduction
and immobilization
 Realignment of the bone
Common Types of Fractures
Table 5.2
Handout #1
Injuries to bones
Dislocation of joint
• Displacement of bones at the joint
• Often caused by impact trauma to that joint
• Can be more damaging and painful than
a fracture
• Damage to the joint capsule and
surrounding ligaments and tendons often
takes much longer to heal than bone
tissue.
Dislocated Finger
In Groups of 4
• Locate the fracture/dislocation
• Identify the type of fracture
Repair of Bone Fractures
 Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is
formed
 Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to
form a soft callus
 Blood vessels grow into the
hematoma
 Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a
bony callus
 Bony callus is remodeled to form a
permanent patch

Structural Classification of Joints
 Fibrous joints
 Generally immovable
 Cartilaginous joints
 Immovable or slightly moveable
 Synovial joints
 Freely moveable
Fibrous Joints
 Bones united by fibrous tissue –
synarthrosis or largely immovable.

amphiarthrosis
 Bones connected by cartilage

joints

bones are
separated by a
joint cavity

is found in the
joint cavity
 Reinforced by
ligaments Figure 5.27f–h
The Synovial Joint
Figure 5.28
6 Types of Synovial Joints
• Hinge joint
• Movement is like two boards joined
together by a hinge
• Movement in one direction
• Elbow, knees, fingers
Types of Synovial Joints
• Ball and Socket Joint
• When ball-shaped end of one bone fits into
the cup-shaped socket of another
• Bones can move in many directions
• Shoulder, hip
• Pivot Joint
• Allows for rotation around the length of a
bone.
• Allows only for rotation
• Head (side to side “no” action)
• Forearm joints (palms)
supination/pronation
• Saddle Joint
• When the surfaces of both articulation
bones are saddle-shaped
• Concave/convex
• Thumb
• Wide range of motion
• Gliding Joint
• Interaction of flat surfaces of articulating
bones
• Limited but complex movement
• Wrist, ankle
• Condyloid Joint
• Oval-shaped articular surface of one bone
fits into the oval-shaped depression of
another
• Mandible, knuckles
Inflammatory Conditions
Associated with Joints
 Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa usually
caused by a blow or friction
 Tendonitis – inflammation of tendon sheaths
 Arthritis – inflammatory or degenerative
diseases of joints
 Over 100 different types
 The most widespread crippling disease in the
United States
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
 Osteoarthritis
 Most common chronic arthritis
 Probably related to normal aging processes
 Rheumatoid arthritis
 An autoimmune disease – the immune system
attacks the joints
 Symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of
certain joints
 Often leads to deformities
Clinical Forms of Arthritis
 Gouty Arthritis
 Inflammation of joints is caused by a
deposition of urate crystals from the blood
 Can usually be controlled with diet
 Red meat and wine are high in uric acid
