The Skeletal System:
Osseous Tissue and
Skeletal Structure
PowerPoint® Lecture Presentations prepared by
Steven Bassett
Southeast Community College
Lincoln, Nebraska
- 2. Introduction
• The skeletal system is made of:
• Skeletal bones
• Cartilage
• Ligaments
• Connective tissue to stabilize the skeleton
• Bones are dynamic organs, which consist
of several tissue types
• Bone tissue, or osseous tissue, is the
major component of the skeletal system.

- 3. Introduction
• Functions of the skeletal system
• Support
• Provides the framework for the attachment of other
organs
• Storage of minerals
• Calcium ions: 98% of the body’s calcium ions are
in the bones
• Phosphate ions
• Blood cell production
• Bone marrow produces erythrocytes, leukocytes,
and platelets

- 4. Introduction
• Functions of the skeletal system (continued)
• Leverage
• Muscles pull on the bones to produce movement
• Protection
• Ribs protect heart and lungs
• Skull protects the brain
• Vertebrae protect the spinal cord
• Pelvic bones protect the reproductive organs

- 5. Structure of Bone
• Bones (osseous tissue)
• Supporting connective tissue
• Specialized cells
• Solid matrix
• Outer lining
• Called the periosteum, Continuous with the deep
fascia
• Inner lining
• Called the endosteum
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 6. Structure of Bone
• The Histological Organization of Mature Bone
• Matrix
• Calcium phosphate:
• eventually converts to hydroxyapatite crystals
• Hydroxyapatite crystals resist compression
• Collagen fibers
• Make up 1/3 of the bone matrix
• Contribute to the tensile strength of bones
• Bone cells
• Contribute only 2% of the bone mass
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 7. Structure of Bone
• The Cells of Mature Bone
• Osteocytes
• Mature bone cells
• Maintain the protein and mineral content of the matrix
• They are contained in lacunae
• Osteoblasts
• Immature bone cells
• Found on the inner and outer surfaces of bones
• Produce osteoid, which is involved in making the
matrix
• Osteoblasts are involved in making new bone. This is
a process called osteogenesis
• Osteoblasts can convert to osteocytes
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 8. Structure of Bone
• The Cells of Mature Bone (continued)
• Osteoprogenitor cells
• Found on the inner and outer surfaces of bones
• Differentiate to form new osteoblasts
• Heavily involved in the repair of bones after a break
• Osteoclasts
• Giant multinucleated cells, secrete acids, which dissolve the
bones thereby causing the release of stored calcium ions
and phosphate ions into the blood
• This process is called osteolysis

- 13. Structure of Bone
• Two types of osseous tissue
• Compact bone (dense bone)
• Compact bones are dense and solid
• Forms the walls of bone outlining the medullary cavity
• Medullary cavity consists of bone marrow
• its basic functional unit is the osteon
• Osteon consists of:
• Central canal
• Canaliculi
• Osteocytes
• Lacunae
• Lamellae
• Spongy bone (porous/ trabecular bone)
• Spongy bone forms an open network of struts and plates (trabeculae).
Trabeculae does not contain central canal within.

• Consists of osteons
• Makes up the dense, solid portion of bone
• Spongy bone
• Trabeculae are arranged in parallel struts
• Trabeculae form branching plates
• Trabeculae form an open network
• Creates the lightweight nature of bones

- 17. Structure of Bone
• Functional Differences
• Compact bone
• Conducts stress from one area of the body to
another area of the body
• Generates tremendous strength from end to end
• Weak strength when stress is applied to the side
• Spongy bone
• Trabeculae create strength to deal with stress from
the side

- 18. Facts about compact and spongy
bones
• The structural unit of compact bone is
osteon.
• The structural unit of spongy bone is
trabeculae.
• The layers of bone in compact bone is
called lamellea. There are concentric,
interstitial and circumferential lamellae.

The femur, or thigh bone, in superficial and sectional views. The femur has a
diaphysis (shaft) with walls of compact bone and epiphyses (ends) filled with
spongy bone. A metaphysis separates the diaphysis and epiphysis at each
end of the shaft. The body weight is transferred to the femur at the hip joint.
Because the hip joint is off center relative to the axis of the shaft, the body
weight is distributed along the bone so that the medial portion of the shaft is
compressed and the lateral portion is stretched.

• Organization of Compact and Spongy Bone
• Epiphysis
• Each end of the long bones
• Made of the spongy bone.
• Diaphysis
• Shaft of the long bones
• contains marrow cavity, which holds the red or yellow bone marrow. Red
bone marrow is the source of producing RBCs, WBCs, and platelets.
• Metaphysis
• Narrow growth zone between the epiphysis and the diaphysis
(formerly epiphyseal plate). Epiphyseal plate is contributing in longitudinal
growth of the bone in prepubertal age. After puberty it becomes ossified and
the longitudinal growth of the bone stops.

• The Periosteum and Endosteum
• Periosteum
• Outer surface of the bone
• Isolates and protects the bone from surrounding
tissue
• Provides a route and a place for attachment for
circulatory and nervous supply
• Actively participates in bone growth and repair
• Attaches the bone to the connective tissue network
of the deep fascia

- 27. Bone Development and Growth
• Osteogenesis
• Bone formation
• Calcification
• The deposition of calcium ions into the bone
tissue
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
- 28. Bone Development and Growth
Before six weeks of development the skeleton is
cartilage.
Osteogenesis is bone formation.
Ossification is bone replacing existing tissue
The two types of Ossification:
Intramembraneous ossification, such as flat bones.
Endochondreal ossification, such as long bones.
This ossification begins with hyaline cartilage.
Calcification is the process of depositing calcium salts
into tissues.

- 29. Figure 5.5 Histology of Intramembranous Ossification
Mesenchymal cells aggregate, differentiate into osteoblasts,
and begin the ossification process. The bone expands as a
series of spicules that spread into surrounding tissues.

Over time, the bone
assumes the structure of
spongy bone. Areas of
spongy bone may later be
removed, creating
medullary cavities.
Through remodeling,
spongy bone formed in this
way can be converted to
compact bone.

- 30. Figure 5.7 Anatomical and Histological Organization of Endochondral Ossification
As the cartilage enlarges,
chondrocytes near the
center of the shaft
increase greatly in size.
The matrix is reduced to a
series of small struts that
soon begin to calcify. The
enlarged chondrocytes
then die and disintegrate,
leaving cavities within the
cartilage.
Blood vessels grow
around the edges of the
cartilage, and the cells of
the perichondrium convert
to osteoblasts. The shaft
of the cartilage then
becomes ensheathed in a
superficial layer of bone.
Blood vessels penetrate the
cartilage and invade the central
region. Fibroblasts migrating
with the blood vessels
differentiate into osteoblasts
and begin producing spongy
bone at a primary center of
ossification. Bone formation
then spreads along the shaft
toward both ends.

Hyaline cartilage
Remodeling occurs as growth
continues, creating a medullary
cavity. The bone of the shaft
becomes thicker, and the cartilage
near each epiphysis is replaced by
shafts of bone. Further growth
involves increases in length (Steps 5
and 6) and diameter (see Figure 5.9).

Soon the epiphyses are filled with
spongy bone. An articular cartilage
remains exposed to the joint cavity;
over time it will be reduced to a thin
superficial layer. At each metaphysis,
an epiphyseal cartilage separates the
epiphysis from the diaphysis.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) acts to increase the overall availability of
calcium ions in the blood. Decreased levels of blood calcium stimulates
the secretion of PTH.
Increased osteoclast activity is the direct result of PTH levels.
Calcitonin is the antagonist of PTH.
Growth hormone and thyroxine increase osteoblast activity leading to
bone growth.
Sex hormones increase bone growth dramatically during puberty.

- 35. Bone Maintenance, Remodeling, and Repair
• Injury and Repair
• When a bone is broken, bleeding occurs
• A network of spongy bone forms
• Osteoblasts are overly activated, thus
resulting in enlarged callused area
• This area is now stronger and thicker than
normal bone

Immediately after the fracture,
extensive bleeding occurs.
Over a period of several
hours, a large blood clot, or

An internal callus forms as
a network of spongy bone
units the inner edges, and
an external callus of
cartilage and bone
stabilizes the outer edges.

A swelling initially marks
the location of the fracture.
Over time, this region will
be remodeled, and little
evidence of the fracture
will remain.
The cartilage of the external
callus has been replaced by bone,
and struts of spongy bone now
unite the broken ends. Fragments
of dead bone and the areas of
bone closest to the break have
been removed and replaced.
- 38. Anatomy of Skeletal Elements
• There are seven broad categories of bones
according to their shapes
• Long bone: humerus
• Flat bone: cranial bones or scapula.
• Wormian bone: develops between the sutures of
cranium.
• Pneumatized bone: ethmoid bone.
• Irregular bone: vertebrae.
• Short bones: carpals and tarsals.
• Sesamoid bone: patella

- 40. Integration with other systems
The skeletal system is closely linked to other body
systems.
The skeletal system is a reservoir for calcium, phosphate,
and other minerals.
The growth and development of bones is under control of
several factors including diet, hormones, muscle
attachments and mechanical stress. Lack of any of these
factors causes weak bones and increases the chance of
break in the bone or Fracture.
The most common type of fracture in children is called
Green stick fracture.
