5 broad functions of bones

support for soft tissues and organs - spine
protection (brain and spinal cord) - skull
movement (joints and leverage points) - femur
storage - bones, blood cell production
blood cell production (Haemopoiesis) - spine, hips, skull, breastbone
Mineral and fat storage: 1-2kg calcium salts, energy (fat) in yellow marrow.

classifications of bones
long bones - femur
short bones - carpals
flat bones - sternum
irregular bones - vertebrae
sesamoid bones - patella

Bone structure
diaphysis (shaft)
epiphyses (ends)
articular cartilage
periosteum
endostruem

bone growth and development
osteogenesis (os = bone, genesis = beginning)
two methods:

  1. Endochondral ossification: embryonic skeleton <8wks = cartlidge

    • bone develops by replacing hyaline cartlidge

    • continues throughout childhood to adolescence: epuphyseal plate is hyaline cartlidge between diaphysis and epiphysis, site of growth.

  2. Inter membranous ossification: cranial bones of skull (frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal bones) AND clavicle from via this mechanism

    • starts as membrane of fibourous connective tissue

    • osteoblasts form from early embryologoical tissues, initiate bone production

    • flat bones ie skull, facial bones

bones remodel

  • 5-7% of our bone mass is recycled each week

  • spongy bone replaced every 3-4 years

  • bone deposition: occurs where bone is injured or strength is needed

  • osteoblasts make osteiod gel that is calcified by minerals

  • Bone resorption: osteoclasts move along bone surface, digging grooves as degrade bone ( using enzymes + acids)

  • components of degration are recycled into bloodstream (eg can be source of calcium into body)

Hormonal controls: calcium homeostasis in the blood

  • imbalance can trigger addition or removal of calcium from stores (bone) into blood stream via parathyroid hormone

response to mechanical stress: muscle pull and gravity

  • remodelling under these circumstances keeps bone strong where stressors exert force.

Wolffs law: bone can grow or remodel in response to mechanical stresses (demands) placed on it.


Bones 2 main components

  • collagen fibres

  • calcium salts


bone structure

  • compact bones: dense external layer

  • spongy bone: internal to compact bone

  • osteon

  • central canal: core of each osteon
