Skeletal System Bone Physiology and the Skull Functions
 
											Skeletal System Bone Physiology and the Skull
 
											Functions of Bone • • Support Protection Movement Mineral and Growth factor storage Blood cell formation Triglyceride storage Hormone production
 
											Classification of Bone • 206 bones divided into 2 groups: • Axial skeleton – includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage • Appendicular skeleton – includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs and girdles
 
											Classification of Bone • Bones are generally classified by their shape as long, short, flat, or irregular – Long bones – longer than they are wide – Short bones – roughly cubed shaped. i. e. the bones of the wrist and ankle – Flat bones – thin, flattened, and usually a bit curved. Sternum, scapula, ribs, and skull bones – Irregular bones – complicated shapes that fit none of the other classes. Vertebrae and hip bones
 
											Typical Long Bone Structure • Diaphysis • Epiphysial Plate/Line • Periosteum • Endosteum • Nutrient Foramina
 
											Typical Flat Bone Structure • Thin plates of spongy bone – Periosteum – Endosteum • Compact bone plates • No shaft • No epiphysis
 
											Chemical composition of bone
 
											Components • Organic – Cells – Osteoid – the organic part of the matrix • Inorganic – 65% of mass is inorganic hydroxyapatites, or mineral salts. – Most of these are calcium phosphate which give bone its exceptional hardness
 
											Cells • 5 major cell types – – – Osteogenic cells Osteoblasts Osteocytes Bone lining cells Osteoclasts
 
											Formation of the Bony Skeleton • Begins during week 8 • Embryo starts as fibrous membranes and hyaline cartilage • Fibrous membrane bone = intramembranous ossification – Membrane bone • Flat bones – cranial bones • Hyaline cartilage bone = endochondral ossification – Endochondral bone • All bones below the skull except clavicles
 
											Endochondral Ossification
 
											Intramembranous Ossification
 
											Postnatal Bone Growth • All bones grow in thickness • Long bones lengthen • Most bones stop growth during adolesence • Some facial bones will grow throughout life
 
											Hormonal Control of Bone growth • Human Growth Hormone • Estrogen/Testosterone +/ • Calcitriol – Increases calcium and phosphate absorption in the GI tract • Blood calcium – PTH (parathyroid hormone) • Increases blood calcium – Calcitonin • Creates calcium deposits, decreasing blood calcium
 
											Bone Remodeling • Process of bone deposit and bone resorption in adult skeletons • Coordinated by adjacent osteoblasts and osteoclasts called remodeling units • Goes on continuously in the skeleton, but not uniformly.
 
											 
											Control of Remodeling
 
											Wolff’s Law • German anatomist Julius Wolff • Bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. • If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading.
 
											Fractures • Fractures are classified in four ways – Position of bones after fracture • Nondisplaced • Displaced – Completeness of break • Complete • Incomplete – Orientation of break, relative to long axis of bone • Linear • Transverse – Whether bone breaks the skin • Open (compound) • Closed (simple)
 
											Bone Repair
 
											Osteoporosis • Group of diseases where bone resorption outpaces bone deposits. • Bones become fragile • Occurs most often in postmenopausal women – Estrogen restrains oseteoclasts • Men also develop the disease
 
											Skull • Cranium – Skull • Two parts – Neurocranium • Bony case of the brain and the cranial meninges, proximal parts of cranial nerves, and vasculature of the brain – Viscerocranium • Facial Skeleton • Anterior part of the cranium
 
											Cranium • Most bones are united by fibrous interlocking SUTURES. • Some bones may be united by hyaline cartilage during childhood – Sphenoid and occiptal • Fontanel = soft spot • Sinus = air cavities within the facial bones
 
											Fontanels • • • Soft Spots Anterior Posterior Sphenoid Mastoid www. crnasomeday. com/anatpages/fetal. htm
 
											Fontanels • The posterior fontanel generally closes first between 1 to 3 months after birth • The sphenoidal fontanel is next to close around 6 months • The mastoid fontanel closes next from 6 to 18 months • The anterior fontanel is generally last between 7 and 19 months
