2. TODAY’S LECTURE
Bone
Classification of bone
Parts of developing long bone
Gross structure of bone
Development of bone
3. WHAT IS BONE?
One-third organic connective tissue. Makes it tough & resilient. Afford
resistance to tensile forces.
Two-third inorganic calcium salts. Makes it hard & rigid. Afford resistance
to compressive forces of weight- bearing and impact forces of jumping.
Living tissue & highly vascular.
Greater regenerative power.
Mould itself to changes in stress.
Shows disuse atrophy & overuse hypertrophy

5. GROSS STRUCTURE OF AN ADULT
LONG BONE
SHAFT
Perisoteum
Cortex
Medullary cavity
6.
7. THE TWO ENDS
Cancellous bone covered with hyaline cartilage
8. PARTS OF A YOUNG BONE
Primary center & secondary center
1. Epiphysis
2. Diaphysis
3. Metaphysis
4. Epiphysial plate of cartilage
9. 1. EPIPHYSIS
The ends & tips of bone which ossify from secondary centres
Pressure epiphysis
Traction epiphysis
Atavistic epiphysis
Aberrant epiphysis
12. 3. METAPHYSIS
The epiphyseal end of a diaphysis
Zone of active growth, hair-pin bends
Common site of osteomyelitis in children
after the epiphyseal fusion vascular communications establish between
metaphysical and epiphyseal arteries.
13. 4. EPIPHYSEAL PLATE OF CARTILAGE
Separates epiphysis from metaphysis
Lengthwise growth of a long bone
After epiphyseal fusion, the bone can no longer grow in length
14. DEVELOPMENT & OSSIFICATION OF
BONES
Bones first laid down as mesodermal (connective tissue) condensations
Conversion of mesoderm into bone is Intramembranous/ mesenchymal
ossification. The bones are called Membrane (dermal) bones
Conversion of cartilaginous model into bone is called Intracartilaginous /
endochondral ossification. The bones are called Cartilaginous bones
Ossification takes place by centers of ossification
Primary centers forms diaphysis
Secondary centers form epiphysis
Fusion of epiphysis with diaphysis starts at puberty and complete by age of 25
years
Law of ossification
Growing end of bone
25. 5. PNEUMATIC BONES
Irregular bones containing large air spaces lined by epithelium
EXAMPLES:
Maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid
26. 6. SESAMOID BONES
Bony nodules found embedded in tendons or joint capsules.
No periosteum, ossify after birth.
Surface of contact are covered with hyaline cartilage and lubricated by
bursa or synovial membrane
EXAMPLES:
Patella, pisiform, fabella etc
27.
28. 7. ACCESSORY BONES
Not always present .
May occur as un-united epiphysis developed from extra centres of
ossification
EXAMPLES:
Sutural, lateral tubercle, tuberosity of 5th metatarsal
32. 1. MEMBRANE BONES
Ossify in membrane
Intramembranous or mesenchymal ossification
Derived from mesenchymal condensations
EXAMPLES:
bones of vault of skull and facial bones
33.
34.
35. 2. CARTILAGINOUS BONES
Ossify in cartilage
Intra-cartilaginous or endochondral ossification
Derived from preformed cartilaginous models
EXAMPLES
Bones of limbs, vertebral column, thoracic age
