Question | Answer |

5 Functions of the Skeleton | Support. Protection. Leverage for movement. Mineral, lipid, and growth factor storage. Blood Cell Production |
2 Classifications by Location | Axial Skeleton & Appendicular Skeleton |
Components: Skull, Vertebral Column, Rib cage. Primary Functions: Protection, and Support | Axial Skeleton |
Components: Shoulder bones, & upper limps; Hip bones, & lower limbs. Functions: Leverage for Locomotion, Leverage for manipulation for the environment | Appendicular Skeleton |
4 Classifications by shape | Long, Short, Flat, & Irregular Bones |
2 Chemical Composition of Bone | Osteoid & Hydroxyapatites |
One Third of Extracellular Matrix | Osteoid |
Two thirds of Extracellular Matrix | Hydroxyapatites |
Composed of: Ground Substance (proteoglycans & glycoproteins) & Collagen Fibers | Osteoid |
Mineral Salts-Mostly calcium phosphate | Hydroxyapatites |
Made by osteoblasts | Osteoid |
Tiny crystals arranged tightly around the collagen fibers of the extracellular matrix. | Hydroxyapatites |
Contributes to bone flexability and tensile strength that allow bones to withstand stretching and twisting. | Osteoid |
Contributes to bone hardness and ability to resist compression. | Hydroxyapatites |
In embryos, leads to develpment of the body skeleton | Osteogenesis or Ossification |
Until adulthood, leads to growth of the skeleton | Osteogenesis or Ossification |
In adulthood, leads to some increase in thickness of bones. Primarily leads to remodeling and repair of bones. | Osteogenesis or Ossification |
Process of bone tissue formation | Osteogenesis or Ossification |
Bones can develop from 2 different tissues during embryonic development | Fibrous Connective Tissue (Intramembranous Ossification) & Hyaline Cartilage(Endochondral Ossification) |
Leads to the formation of most bones in the skull and miscellaneos other bones (clavicle, sesamoid bones) | Intramembranous Ossification (Fibrous Connective Tissue) |
Bones of the skelton from the base of the skull down (with a few exceptions) | Endochondral Ossification (Hyaline Cartilage) |
Bone deposition and resorption for the purpose of shaping, strengthening or repairing bone | Bone Growth & Remodeling |
Based off the action of osteoblasts & osteoclasts | Bone Growth & Remodeling |
Growth in thickness/diameter | Bone Growth & Remodeling |
Growth in length | Bone Growth & Remodeling |
An extension of endochondral ossification (cartilage forms and is replaced by bone) | Growth in Length |
Osteoblasts of periosteum lay down new bone. Osteoclasts of endosteum at spongy/compact bone interface remove internal bone (helps keep bones light) | Growth in thinkness/diameter |
Every week we recycle 5-7% of our bone mass | Rate of bone remodeling in adults |
Spongy bone is replaced every 3-4 years | Rate of bone remodeling in adults |
Compact bone is replaced every 10 years | Rate of bone remodeling in adults |
Rate is variable based on location | Rate of bone remodeling in adults |
At any given location, rate of bone destruction and deposition is approximately equal in healthy adults | Rate of bone remodeling in adults |
Control of Remodeling | Hormones |
Promotes calcium and phosphate ion absorption by digestive tract | Calcitriol (kidneys) |
Stimulates osteoblast activity and the synthesis of bone matrix (pituitary gland) | Growth Hormone (pituitary gland) |
Stimulates osteoblast activity and the synthesis of bone matrix (thyroid gland) | Thyroxine (thyroid gland) |
Stimulates osteoblast activity and the synthesis of bone matrix (ovaries/testes) | Sex Hormones (ovaries/testes) |
Stimulates osteoclasts activity; elevates calcium ion concentration in body fluids | Parathyroid Hormone (parathyroid glands) |
inhibits osteoclast activity, promotes calcium loss at kidneys, and reduces calcium ion concentration in body fluid | Calcitonin (thyroid gland) |
Bones are hollow in the middle | Mechanical Stress |
Long bones are thickest midway along the shaft | Mechanical Stress |
Curved bones are thickest where they are most likely to buckle | Mechanical Stress |
Trabeculea of spongy bones from trusses (struts) along lines of compression | Mechanical Stress |
Large bone projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach | Mechanical Stress |
Bones of infants and bedridden people are featureless | Mechanical Stress |
relatively long & slendor (phalanges, ulna, radius) | Long Bones |
roughly cubed shaped (carpals, tarsals, sesamoid bones) | Short Bones |
thin, flattened, slightly curved (sternum, scapula, ribs, many skull bones, sutural bones) | Flat Bones |
complicated shapes (vertebrae, ossa coxae, many facial bones) | Irregular Bones |
2 types of bone density | Compact & Spongy Bone |
External part of bone | Compact Bone |
Looks smooth and solid to naked eye | Compact Bone |
Internal part of bone | Spongy Bone |
Honeycomb of osseous tissue called trabeculae | Spongy Bone |
Filled with bone marrow | Spongy Bone |
2 structures of typical long bone | Diaphysis & Epiphyses |
Shaft of the bone | Diaphysis |
Compact bone externally | Diaphysis |
Central medullary cavity that contains bone marrow | Diaphysis |
Larger Diameter than Diaphysis | Epiphyses |
Compact bone externally | Epiphyses |
Spongy bone internally | Epiphyses |
Layer of spongy bone (diploe) sandwiched between compact bone | Structure of a typical short, irregular or flat bone |
Spongy bone contains bone marrow, although no marrow cavity is present | Structure of a typical short, irregular or flat bone |
2 types of bone marrow | Hematopoietic Tissue (red marrow)& Yellow Marrow |
Found in all medullary cavities and spongy bone in infants. | Hematopoietic Tissue (red marrow) |
Usually restricted to proximal epiphysis of the humerus and femur and to spongy bone of flat and irregular bones (hips, sternum) in adults. | Hematopoietic Tissue (red marrow) |
Responsible for blood cell formation. | Hematopoietic Tissue (red marrow) |
Can reform in long bones if anemia occurs | Hematopoietic Tissue (red marrow) |
Adipose tissue used to store lipids | Yellow Marrow |
Replaces most red marrow in bone marrow cavities and spongy bones of adults | Yellow Marrow |
2 types of membranes | Periosteum & Endosteum |
Covers entire outer surface of bone except joint surfaces | Periosteum |
Outer layer is dense irregular connective tissue | Periosteum |
Inner layer composed primarily of oseoprogenitor cells along with osteoblast and osteoclasts | Periosteum |
Collagen fibers incorporated into the bone called perforatiing fibers | Periosteum |
