, GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Functions:
• Support
• Protection
• Movement
• Storage
o Minerals
§ Ca+ - used in many processes in body
§ Must be maintained at certain levels in blood.
o Marrow
§ Haematopoietic stem cells
§ Fat
• Blood Production – Haematopoiesis
Metabolism of bone & its hormonal control
• Calcitonin à Ca+ salt deposit in bone
• Parathyroid hormone à Resorption of Ca+ from bone by osteoclasts à increases blood Ca+ levels.
• Estrogen à Restrains Osteoclast activity & Promotes deposition of new bone.
, Osteoporosis:
• Bone resorption outstrips deposition à bone density decreases – risk of fractures increases.
o Cancellous bone is affected first – has a quicker turnover (remodelling rate)
o Trabeculae become porous & lighter or even disappear
o Common in Postmenopausal Women: reduced levels of Estrogen à increased osteoclast activity.
Bone Composition:
• Organic
o Collagen & other proteins
o 35%
o Flexibility
o Tensile Strength
• Inorganic
o Mineral Salts
o 65%
o Compression Strength
o Reason why it preserves so well.
Bone & Associated Tissue Histology:
• Bone
o Compact
§ Thicker
§ Denser
§ Comprised of Osteons – basic units of compact bone
• Haversian Canal
o Blood Vessels
o Nerve Fibres
• Lamellae
o Rings of Collagen Fibres around Haversian Canals
o Collagen Fibres oppose each other diagonally
o Resists torsional stress
• Lacunae
o Tiny caverns between the Lamellae
o Residences of the osteocytes
• Osteocytes
o Living cells of bone tissue
o Maintains health of bone matrix
o If an osteocyte dies, the surrounding bone matrix is resorbed by osteoclasts.
• Canaliculi
o Tiny plasma membrane extensions of the osteocytes
o Allows communication between osteocytes
o Allows nutrient sharing between osteocytes
