6 Bones and Skeletal Tissues


The Skeletal System consists of bones, cartilages, and joints. Review of Cartilage •  Location and basic structure

•  Found throughout adult body •  Ear and epiglottis •  Articular cartilages and costal cartilage •  Larynx, trachea, and nose •  Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and articular discs

•  Is surrounded by perichondrium (dense irreg. C.T.)-- functions as a girdle (resists outward pressure) and in growth & repair

•  Consists primarily of water •  Resilient tissue—it springs back to original shape


Types of Cartilage (review)

•  All cartilages share some similarities •  Cell type is the chondrocyte •  Chondrocytes are located within lacunae •  Matrix contains • Fibers •  Jellylike ground substance

Types of Cartilage (review)

•  Hyaline cartilage (glassy) •  Most abundant cartilage •  Provides support through flexibility & resilience

•  Elastic cartilage—contains many elastic fibers •  Able to tolerate repeated bending

•  Fibrocartilage—resists strong compression and strong tension •  A intermediate between hyaline and dense regular

C.T.

Growth of Cartilage

•  Appositional growth •  Chondroblasts in surrounding perichondrium

produce new cartilage

•  Interstitial growth •  Chondrocytes within cartilage divide and secrete

new matrix •  Cartilage stops growing when the skeleton stops growing •  Cartilage regenerates and heals poorly


Bones are the organs of the skeletal system

•  Bones contain 3 types of tissues •  Dominated by bone CT •  Contain nervous tissue and blood CT •  Contain cartilage in articular cartilages •  Contain epithelial tissue lining blood vessels


Function of Bones/ Skeletal System

•  Support—provides hard framework

•  Movement—skeletal muscles use bones as levers

•  Protection of underlying organs

•  Mineral storage—reservoir for important minerals

•  Blood-cell formation—bone contains red marrow •  Energy metabolism—osteoblasts secrete osteocalcin:

hormone that stimulates insulin release and release of fat from fat cells


Bone Tissue •  Bone tissue consists of:

•  Organic components—cells, fibers, and ground substance

•  Inorganic components—mineral salts that invade bony matrix

•  Unique composition of the extracellular matrix… •  Gives bone exceptional properties •  35%—organic components

•  Contributes to flexibility and tensile strength •  65%—inorganic components

•  Provide exceptional harness, resists compression


Cell types in Bone…

•  Three types of cells in bone produces or maintain bone •  Osteogenic cells—stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts •  Osteoblasts—actively produce and secrete bone matrix

•  Bone matrix is osteoid •  Osteocytes—keep bone matrix healthy (maintain the matrix)

•  One type of cell breaks down or resorbs bone: Osteoclasts •  Responsible for resorption of bone •  Are derived from a line of white blood cells •  Secrete hydrochloric acid (dissolves mineral component of

matrix) and lysosomal enzymes (digests organic component)


A Classification ‘system’ for Bones

•  Long bones—longer than wide; a shaft plus ends

•  Short bones—roughly cube-shaped

•  Flat bones—thin and flattened, usually curved

•  Irregular bones—various shapes, do not fit into other

categories

Gross Anatomy of Bones: two different ways of organizing the matrix/cells and … different areas in bones where these types are located

•  Compact bone— •  dense outer layer of bone

•  Spongy (cancellous) bone— •  internal network of bone •  Contains trabeculae: little “beams” of bone •  Open spaces between trabeculae are filled with marrow


Structure of a Typical Long Bone

•  Diaphysis—“shaft” of a bone •  Epiphysis—ends of a bone •  Blood vessels—well vascularized •  Medullary cavity—hollow cavity filled with

yellow marrow •  Membranes •  Periosteum, perforating fibers (Sharpey’s

fibers), and endosteum

Microscopic Structure of Compact Bone •  Compact Bone

•  Contains passage ways for blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves

•  Matrix is organized in Osteons (Haversian canals) —long cylindrical structures •  Function in support •  Structurally—resembles rings of a tree in cross-section •  Osteons contain:

•  Lamellae •  Central canal •  Perforating canals •  Canaliculi

Bone Development

•  Ossification (osteogenesis)—bone-tissue formation •  Membrane bones—formed directly from

mesenchyme, via… •  Intramembranous ossification

•  Other bones—develop initially from hyaline cartilage, via… • Endochondral ossification

Osteoblast

Ossification centers appear in the fibrous connective tissue membrane. • Selected centrally located mesenchymal cells cluster and differentiate into osteoblasts, forming an ossification center.

Bone matrix (osteoid) is secreted within the fibrous membrane and calcifies. • Osteoblasts begin to secrete osteoid, which is calcified within a few days.

• Trapped osteoblasts become osteocytes.

Trabeculae of woven bone

Fibrous periosteum Osteoblast Plate of compact bone Diploë (spongy bone) cavities contain red marrow

Woven bone and periosteum form. • Accumulating osteoid is laid down between embryonic blood vessels in a random manner. The result is a network (instead of lamellae) of trabeculae called woven bone.

• Vascularized mesenchyme condenses on the external face of the woven bone and becomes the periosteum.

Lamellar bone replaces woven bone, just deep to the periosteum. Red marrow appears. • Trabeculae just deep to the periosteum thicken and are later replaced with mature lamellar bone, forming compact bone plates.

• Spongy bone (diploë), consisting of distinct trabeculae, persists internally, and its vascular tissue becomes red marrow.

Endochondral Ossification

•  Forms all bones except some bones of the skull and clavicles

•  Bones are modeled in hyaline cartilage •  Begins forming late in the second month of

embryonic development •  Continues forming until early adulthood

Spongy bone

Bone collar Primary ossification center

Bone collar forms around hyaline cartilage model.

Cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities.

The periosteal bud invades the internal cavities, and spongy bone begins to form.

The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms as ossification continues. Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses in preparation for stage 5.

The epiphyses ossify. When completed, hyaline cartilage remains only in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages.

Stages in Endochondral Ossification

Figure 6.11



Anatomy of Epiphyseal Growth Areas

•  In epiphyseal plates of growing bones: •  Cartilage is organized for quick, efficient growth •  Cartilage cells form tall stacks

•  Chondroblasts at the top of stacks divide quickly •  Pushes the epiphysis away from the diaphysis •  Lengthens entire long bone

7


Anatomy of Epiphyseal Growth Areas

•  Older chondrocytes signal surrounding matrix to calcify •  Older chondrocytes then die and disintegrate

•  Leaves long trabeculae (spicules) of calcified cartilage on diaphysis side

•  Trabeculae are partly eroded by osteoclasts •  Osteoblasts then cover trabeculae with bone tissue •  Trabeculae finally eaten away from their tips by

osteoclasts

Postnatal Growth of Endochondral Bones

•  During childhood and adolescence: •  Bones lengthen entirely by growth of the

epiphyseal plates (endochondral [‘in the cartilage’] growth)

•  Cartilage is replaced with bone CT as quickly as it grows

•  Epiphyseal plate maintains constant thickness •  Whole bone lengthens



•  As adolescence draws to an end: •  Chondroblasts divide less often •  Epiphyseal plates become thinner • Cartilage stops growing • Replaced by bone tissue

•  Long bones stop lengthening when diaphysis and epiphysis fuse



•  Growing bones also widen as they lengthen •  Osteoblasts—add bone tissue to the external

surface of the diaphysis •  Osteoclasts—remove bone from the internal

surface of the diaphysis •  This widening is called appositional growth

—growth of a bone by addition of bone tissue to its surface

8


Bone Growth influenced by hormones (also nutrition)

•  Growth hormone—produced by the pituitary gland •  Stimulates epiphyseal plates

•  Thyroid hormone—ensures that the skeleton retains proper proportions

•  Sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone)

•  Promote bone growth

•  Later induces closure of epiphyseal plates


Bone Remodeling

•  Bone is dynamic living tissue •  500 mg of calcium may enter or leave the

adult skeleton each day •  Bone matrix and osteocytes are continually

removed and replaced • Cancellous bone of the skeleton is replaced

every 3–4 years • Compact bone is replaced every 10 years


Bone Remodeling

•  Bone deposit and removal •  Occurs at periosteal and endosteal surfaces

•  Bone remodeling •  Bone deposition—accomplished by

osteoblasts •  Bone reabsorption—accomplished by

osteoclasts

concentrated HCl •  Lysosomal

enzymes are released

•  Derived from hematopoietic stem cells

Repair of Bone Fractures

•  Simple and compound fractures •  Treatment by reduction-- realignment of the

broken ends of the bone •  Closed reduction-- manually •  Open reduction-- surgically with pins or wires

Table 6.2 (3 of 3)


Disorders of Bones

•  Osteoporosis •  Characterized by low bone mass • Bone reabsorption outpaces bone

deposition • Occurs most often in women after

menopause


Osteoporosis

Figure 6.16

10


Disorders of Bones

•  Osteomalacia •  Occurs in adults—bones are inadequately

mineralized (not enough vitamin D or calcium phosphate in diet)

•  Rickets •  Occurs in children—analogous to

osteomalacia & same cause


Figure 6.17 Rickets.


Disorders of Bones

•  Paget’s disease •  Characterized by excessive rate of bone

deposition & resorption--- results in immature matrix

•  Osteosarcoma •  A form of bone cancer


The Skeleton Throughout Life

•  Cartilage grows quickly in youth •  Skeleton shows fewer chondrocytes in the

elderly •  Bones are a timetable •  Mesoderm • Gives rise to embryonic mesenchyme cells

•  Mesenchyme • Produces membranes and cartilage

•  Membranes and cartilage ossify


The Skeleton Throughout Life

•  Skeleton grows until the age of 18–21 years •  In children and adolescents, bone formation

exceeds rate of bone reabsorption •  In young adults, bone formation and bone

reabsorption are in balance •  In old age, reabsorption predominates •  Bone mass declines with age
