Structure of Long Bone
- Adult shaft cavity
- Yellow Marrow
- Storage for adipose tissue
- Aka medullary cavity
- Infant shaft cavity
- Red marrow
- Forms rbc
- Red marrow in adults confined to spongy bone of flat bones and epiphysis of long bones
Bone Markings
- Bones not smooth surfaces
- Bumps, holes, ridges
- Bone markings
- Where muscles, tendons, and ligaments attached
- Where blood vessels and nerves pass
Bone Marking Categories
- Projections or Processes
- Grow out from bones
- Sites muscle attachment
- Form joints
- Depressions or cavities
- Indentations
- Openings
- Passageway for nerves & blood vessels
Microscopic Anatomy
- Spongy bone
- Spiky open appearance
- Compact bone
- Dense appearance
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Osteocytes
- Mature bone cells
- In lacunae
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Lacunae
- Cavities within matrix
- Arranged in concentric circles
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Lamellae
- Concentric circles
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Central (Haversian) Canal
- Carries blood vessels and nerves to bone
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Osteon (Haversian System)
- Central canal and matrix rings
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Canaliculi
- Tiny canals
- Radiate outward from central canal
- Supply lacunae
- Connect bone cells to nutrient supply
Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone
- Perforating (Volkmann’s) Canals
- Communication pathway from outside bone to interior
Bone Formation
- Skeletal system made of strong, supportive tissues
- Cartilage
- Bone
- Embryos
- Primarily hyaline cartilage
- Child
- Most cartilage replaced by bone
- Cartilage remains in nose, ribs, joints
Bone Formation
- Hyaline cartilage model
- Except flat bones – fibrous membranes
- Ossification
- Bone formation
- Osteoblasts
- 2 phases
- Hyaline cartilage covered w/ bone matrix
- Hyaline cartilage digested, opens up medullary cavity
Development of Bone
- Fetus
- Cartilage bones enclosed by bony bones
- Birth
- Hyaline cartilage converted to bone
- Except
- articular cartilage (bone ends) reduces friction at joint surfaces
- epiphyseal plates for growth long bones
Appositional Growth
- Bone widening
- Osteoblasts in periosteum
- Add bone tissue to external diaphysis
- Osteoclasts in endosteum
- Remove bone from inner diaphysis
Regulation of Bone Growth
- Hormones
- GH
- Sex hormones
- Puberty ends
- Epiphyseal plate converted to bone
- Bone still dynamic and active tissues
Bone Remodeling
- Retain normal proportions and strength
- Long bone growth
- Body increases size/weight
- Bones thicker and form large projections to increase strength
- Response to
- Calcium levels in blood
- Pull gravity and muscles
Bone Remodeling
- Stress
- Osteoblasts lay down new matrix
- Become trapped
- Become osteocytes
- Bedridden/Physically Inactive People
- Bones loose mass
- Atrophy
Bone Remodeling
- PTH
- Break down of bones
- Stimulates osteoclasts
- Need more calcium ions in blood
- Calcitonin
- Build up of bones
- Stimulates osteoblasts
- Excess calcium in blood
- Stress
- Where bone matrix broken down or formed
- Skeleton stays strong
Rickets Disease
- Bones fail to calcify
- Bones soften
- Bowing of legs
- Lack of calcium in diet
- Lack vitamin D
- Needed to absorb calcium
Bone Fractures
- Breaks
- Closed (simple)
- Bone breaks cleanly
- Does not penetrate skin

Depressed Fracture
- Broken bone portion pressed inward
- Skull fracture
Impacted Fracture
- Broken bone ends forced into each other
- Break a fall w/ outstretched arms
Spiral Fracture
- Ragged break occurs
- Twisting forces
- Sports fracture
Greenstick Fracture

Treating Fractures
- Reduction
- Realignment of broken bone ends
- Closed reduction

- Open reductions
- Surgery performed
- Bone ends secured together w/ pins
- Immobilized by cast allow healing
- 6-8 weeks
Bone Fracture Repair
- Hematoma
- Break splinted by fibrocartilage callus
- Bony callus forms
