7. Bone
• Os (Latin)
• Osteon ( Greek)
Hard structure , form rigid framework of body

8. Structurally
Highly vascular mineral connective tissue
• 2/3 Made up of
• Organic component
(make it tough & resilient)
• Inorganic salts
(Make it hard and rigid)
• 1/3 made up of
connective tissue

9. Characteristics
• Living tissue
• Highly vascular
• Supply by nerve and blood vessel
• Constant turn over of its calcium content
• Show pattern of growth
• Subjected to disease & heal after fracture
• Regenerative power

14. • Long bone
Mid elongated shaft (diaphysis)
Two expanded ends (epiphyses)
Central inner medullary cavity
• Typical long bones
humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia,
fibula;
• Miniature long bones have only one epiphysis
e.g. metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges; and
• Modified long bones have no medullary cavity e.g clavicle

15. • Short bones:
Shape is usually cuboid, cuneiform,
Trapezoid or scaphoid.
Examples: tarsal and carpal bones
01-05-2021 15
16. • Flat bones
Shallow plates
Form boundaries of body cavities.
Examples:
Vault of skull, ribs,
sternum & scapula

17. • Sesamoid bone
Bony nodules found embedded in tendons or joint
capsules.
No periosteum and ossify after birth
Functions of sesamoid bones are:
(a) To resist pressure;
(b) To minimise friction;
(c) To alter direction of pull of muscle
(d) To maintain local circulation.

18. • Pneumatic bone
Irregular bones contain large air spaces lined by
epithelium
examples: maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid.
Function:-
Make skull light in weight,
Help in resonance of voice,
Act as air conditioning chambers for inspired air

19. • Accessory bone (supernumerary bone)
Not always present .
Occur as ununited epiphyses
Developed from extra-centres of ossification.
Examples: Sutural bones, os trigonum
(lateral tubercle of talus),os vesalianum
(tuberosity of 5th metatarsal)

21. Compact bone consist of
• Lamella of collagenous sheet
• Haversian system or osteon
01-05-2021 21
22. Cancellous bone/ spongy bone
• Meshwork of bony spicules.
• Present interconnected rods and plates of bones
• don’t form haversian system
• Architecture of cancellous bone is depend upon
trajectory theory (Wolf’s law)
Pressure lamellae Tension lamellae

24. Microscopically
Classification is based on arrangement of different
component in matrix
• Woven bone – Collagen fasiscle and bony crystal
arranged in mesh network, like woven fabric e.g, callus
bone , young fetal bone
• Lamellar bone- Mineralized matrix arranged in layer of
thin sheet e.g. All adult bone

31. Clinical Vignettes
• Many of the joints present in midline are
secondary cartilaginous joint in axial skeleton,
what type of joint is xiphisternal joint?
What type of bone is sternum?
• Synchondrosis joint
• flat bone
