The Skeleton:
Bones and Joints
The Skeleton
Copyright © 2004 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Skeletal system is made up of bones, joints, and supporting
connective tissue
Bones
Copyright © 2004 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Several functions
• To serve as a firm framework for the body
• To protect delicate structures such as the brain and
spinal cord
• To serve as levers to produce movement
• To store calcium salts
• To produce blood cells
Bone (osseous) tissue
• Types
• Compact bone
• Haversion systems (osteons)
• Spongy (cancellous) bone
• Bone marrow
• Red marrow
• Yellow marrow
• Bone membranes
• Periosteum
• Endosteum

irregular ends. What are the scientific names for the shaft and
the ends of a long bone?

Shaft

Checkpoint 6-2: What are the two types of osseus (bone)
tissue and where is each type found?


Bone Growth and Repair
Copyright © 2004 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Types of bone cells
• Osteoblasts manufacture the matrix
• Osteocytes maintain and repair existing bone
matrix
• Osteoclasts resorb bone tissue
Checkpoint 6-3: What are the three types of
cells found in bone and what is the role of
each?

Osteocytes
 Maintain and repair bone existing bone matrix

Osteoblasts
 Manufacture bone matrix
Osteoclasts
 Resorb (break down) bone matrix



Bones begin as cartilage in the embryo
Cartilage begins to turn into bone


Epiphyseal plates develop across bone ends



Bone growth takes place in epiphyseal plate
Bones continue to lengthen
Bones stop lengthening


Osteoblasts build up bony matrix
When epiphyseal plates (cartilage) turns to bone,
they stop lengthening
Bone resorption and formation continues

Bone continues to be modeled (shaped)


Checkpoint 6-4: As the embryonic skeleton
is converted from cartilage to bone, the
intercellular matrix becomes hardened.
What compounds are deposited in the
matrix to harden it?


Calcium compounds
Checkpoint 6-5: After birth, long bones
continue to grow in length at secondary
centers. What are these centers called?


Epiphyses


Checkpoint 6-6: Bones have a number of
projections, depressions, and holes. What
are some functions of these markings?

Projections
 Help form joints and serve as muscle attachments

Depressions
 Serve as muscle attachments
Holes
 Serve as passageways for nerves and blood vessels
