Skeletal System Outline
The Skeletal System:Bone Tissue

1* Dynamic and ever-changing throughout life
2* Skeleton composed of many different tissues
3* Cartilage bone, tissue, epithelium, nerve, blood forming tissue, adipose, and dense connective tissue

Functions of Bone
1* Supporting & protecting soft tissues
2* Attachment site for muscles making movement possible
3* Storage of the minerals, calcium& phosphate -- mineral homeostasis
4* Blood cell production occurs in red bone marrow (hemopoiesis)
5* Energy storage in yellow bone marrow

Anatomy of a Long Bone
4* Diaphysis = shaft
5* Epiphysis = one end of a long bone
6* Metaphysis = growth plate region
7* Articular cartilage = over joint surfaces acts as friction and shock absorber
8* Medullary cavity = marrow cavity
9* Endosteum = lining of marrow cavity
10* Periosteum = tough membrane covering bone but not the cartilage
1* fibrous layer = dense irregular CT
2* osteogenic layer = bone cells and blood vessels that nourish or help with repairs

Histology of Bone
11* A type of connective tissue as seen by widely spaced cells separated by matrix
12* 4 types of cells in bone tissue

Cell Types of Bone
13* Osteoprogenitor cells ---- undifferentiated cells
14* Can divide to replace themselves and can become osteoblasts
15* Found in inner layer of periosteum and endosteum
16* Osteoblasts— form matrix and collagen fibers but can’t divide (builds bones)
17* Osteocytes --- mature cells that no longer secrete matrix
18* Osteoclasts---- huge cells from fused monocytes (MBC)
19* Function in bone resorption at surfaces such as endosteum

Composition
6* 1/3 bone weight = organic framework of fibrous tissue and cells
1* Mainly collagen and polysaccharides
2* The polys mainly glycosaminoglycans (GAG)

7* 2/3 bone weight = inorganic Ca and P salts
3* 80% = calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite)
4* 20% = calcium carbonate and magnesium phosphate
Give the bone hardness and rigidity

Matrix

    Bones grow in three stages during life. The bone starts growing in the embryo at around 8 weeks. Ossification is the word for the formation of bone. There are osteoblasts that help form the bone and osteoclasts that eat away at old bone. Bones start off as cartilage, but then is replaced by bone. Connective tissue forms a sheet where the bones are going to be. These connective tissue sheets are highly invested with blood vessels. Some of the cells in the connective tissue sheets differentiate into osteoblasts. These osteoblasts begin laying down the bone extracellular matrix, called spongy bone. These osteoblasts get trapped within the hard matrix and are then called osteocytes. As time goes more and more osteoblasts form from the connective tissue sheets. The connective tissue sheets, as they become major producers of osteocytes, are no longer called connective tissue sheets. They are now called the bone's periosteum. But the newer osteoblasts made by the periosteum cannot enter the spongy bone. So, they begin to accumulate on the edges of the spongy…

    Bone Growth, Remodeling and Repair. Most bones grow in length and width occurs through adolescence, but some continue to enlarge until about age 25. In a sense, bones can grow throughout a lifetime because they are able to respond to stress by changing size, shape and strength. Bones are composed of living tissue, as demonstrated by their ability to grow, remodel and undergo repair. Several types of cells are involved in these activities. Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells. They secrete the organic matrix of…

    Your 80 year-old great aunt, Persis, was placing a canning jar on the top shelf of her pantry when she stepped awkwardly off the stool and twisted her leg at the hip. She felt a sharp pain in her hip and, after collapsing to the floor, found she could no longer stand. She was taken to the emergency room where an X ray showed that the neck of her femur was fractured. More detailed X ray images revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured femur, in the ends of other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae. Surgery was necessary to repair the fractured femur and a biopsy of the bone tissue indicated that the composition of the osteoid was normal. Healing of the fractured femur is proceeding slowly.…

    Osteoporosis and Bone

    1. The skeleton is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling throughout life. Bone remodeling involves the removal of mineralized bone by osteoclasts followed by formation of bone matrix through the osteoblasts that subsequently become mineralized. The remodeling cycle consists of three constructive phases resorption, during which osteoclasts digest bone; reversal, when mononuclear cells appear on bone surface; and formation, when osteoclasts lay down new bone until the reabsorbed bone is completely replaced. Bone remodeling serves to adjust bone architecture to meet changing mechanical needs and helps to repair micro damages in bone matrix preventing the accumulation of old bone. It also plays an important role in maintaining plasma calcium homeostasis.…
