Page 4: Overview of Bones
Characteristics:
Primary organs of the skeletal system.
Provide a rigid framework under tissues and muscles.
Are living organs that adapt and respond to the environment (homeostasis).
Page 5: Functions of the Skeletal System
Support: Internal framework supporting body.
Protection: Protect internal organs (e.g., skull protects the brain).
Movement: Muscle attachment allows movement through contraction.
Defense: Extremity bones contribute to self-defense and fighting disease.
Page 6: Continued Functions of the Skeletal System
Calcium Storage: Maintains homeostasis of blood calcium for nerve and muscle function.
Hematopoiesis: Produces blood cells in red bone marrow.
Page 7: Types of Bones
Four major types based on shape:
Long Bones: e.g., humerus, clavicle.
Short Bones: e.g., wrist and ankle bones.
Flat Bones: e.g., skull, rib cage.
Irregular Bones: e.g., vertebrae, hip bones.
Sesamoid Bones: e.g., patella (kneecap).
Page 8: Structure of Long Bones
Diaphysis: Hollow tube of compact bone.
Medullary Cavity: Contains yellow bone marrow (inactive).
Epiphyses: Ends of bones made of spongy bone containing red bone marrow.
Page 9: Continued Structure of Long Bones
Articular Cartilage: Thin layer on each epiphysis providing cushioning at joints.
Periosteum: Fibrous membrane covering bone except at joints.
Endosteum: Lining of the medullary cavity.

Page 13: Microscopic Structure of Bones
Types of Connective Tissue: Bone and cartilage.
Bone Structure: Varies by location and function; matrix is calcified.
Bone Types: Compact (dense) and spongy (porous).
Page 14: Detailed Bone Structure
Compact Bone: Organized into osteons with concentric lamella surrounding a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves.
Osteocytes reside in lacunae and connect via canaliculi.
Page 15: Continued Microscopic Structure of Bones
Overview of components like trabeculae, central canal, and periosteum in spongy and compact bone contexts.
Page 16: Structure of Spongy Bone
Contains many spaces constructed with trabeculae, typically found in the epiphyses of long bones, containing red bone marrow.
Page 17: Cartilage Tissue Structure
Chondrocytes: Located in lacunae.
Matrix Composition: Gel-like, lacks blood vessels, leading to slow healing post-injury; flexibility similar to firm plastic.
Page 18: Bone Formation and Growth
Cell Types: Osteoblasts create new bone while osteoclasts dissolve existing bone.
Bone remodeling involves continuous sculpting by these cells, leading to growth and healing.
Page 19: Bone Development (Remodeling)
Illustrates the roles of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes in bone remodeling processes.
Page 20: Bone Development Steps
Step-by-Step Bone Development:
Chondrocytes enlarge as cartilage model grows.
Osteoblasts cover shaft with bone.
Blood vessels invade cartilage, forming ossification center.
Shaft thickens as cartilage is replaced by bone.
Blood vessels invade epiphyses forming secondary ossification centers.
Page 21: Bone Remodeling
Further information and animations available about bone remodeling processes online.
Page 22: Early Bone Development
Bones initially form from cartilage; development involves the gradual calcification of cartilage through endochondral ossification.
Page 23: Divisions of the Skeletal System
Axial skeleton (80 bones):
Center of the body (skull, spine, thorax).
Appendicular skeleton (126 bones):
Upper and lower extremities (shoulder girdle, arms, legs, etc.).
