BONE (syn – Os; Osteon)
 Osseous tissue, a specialised form of dense
connective tissue consisting of bone cells
(osteocytes)
 Embedded in a matrix of calcified
intercelluar substance
 Bone matrix contains collagen fibres and the
minerals calcium phosphate and calcium
carbonate
FORMATION OF BONE
 The process of bone formation -
ossificatiom
 All bone is of mesodermal origin
 Two types of ossification
1. Intramembranous ossification
2. Endochondral ossification
INTRAMEMBRANOUS
OSSIFICATION
 Development of bones in membranous
sheets
Mesenchymal (immature connective tissue)
condensation.
 Bone layers, membranes formation begins
 Highly vascular, Laying down of bundles
of collagen fibres in
themesenchymalcondensation
 Osteoblast formation –
osteoid(unmineralized)
 Calcium phosphate salts deposition –
lamellus of bone . Calcification occurs in

ENCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION
Intracartilaginous osteogenesis
Ossifies bones that originate as hyaline
cartilge
 Most bones originate as hyaline cartilage
 E.G, bones of limbs, ribs , vertebrae.
 Growth and ossification of long bones
occurs in 6 steps
STEP 1
 Chondrocytes in the
center of hyaline
cartilage:
– enlarge
– form struts and calcify
– die, leaving
cavities in cartilage
STEP 2
 Blood vessels grow around
the edges of the cartilage
• Cells in the
perichondrium
(connective tissue that
envelope cartilage)
change to osteoblasts:
– producing a layer of
superficial bone around the
shaft which will continue to
grow and become compact
STEP 3
 • Blood vessels enter
the cartilage:
–bringing fibroblasts
that become
osteoblasts
–spongy bone develops at
the primary ossification
center
STEP 4
 Remodeling
creates a marrow
cavity:
– bone replaces
cartilage at the
metaphyses
STEP 5
 Capillaries
and
osteoblasts
enter the
epiphyses:
– creating
secondary
ossification
centers
STEP 6
 Epiphyses fill
with spongy
bone:
–cartilage within
the joint cavity is
articulation
cartilage
– cartilage at the
metaphysis is
epiphyseal cartilage
Endochondral
ossification
Stages 1-3 during fetal week 9
through 9th month
Stage 4 is
just
before birth
Stage 5 is process
of long bone
growth during
childhood &
SKELETAL ORGANIZATION
• The actual number of bones in the human
skeleton varies from person to person
• Typically there are about 206 bones
• For convenience the skeleton is divided into
the:
• Axial skeleton
• Appendicular skeleton
DIVISION OF SKELETON
• Axial Skeleton
• Skull
• Spine
• Rib cage
• Appendicular
Skeleton
• Upper limbs
• Lower limbs
• Shoulder girdle
• Pelvic girdle

PNEUMATIC BONES (Gr. – pert. to air)
 Certain irregular bones contain large air
spaces lined by epithelium
 Make the skull light in weight, help in
resonance of voice, and act as air
conditioning chambers for inspired air
 Ex – maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid, etc

BONE CELLS
 ELEMENTS COMPRISING BONE TISSUE
1. It consists of bone cells or osteocytes –
separated by intercellular substance
2. Osteoblasts – bone producing cells
3. Osteoclasts – bone removing cells
4. Osteoproginator cells – from which
osteoblasts and osteoclasts derived
CELLS OF BONE
TISSUE
OSTEOPROGENITOR CELLS
 Mesenchymal stem
cells that divide to
produce osteoblasts
• Are located in
inner, cellular
layer of
periosteum
(endosteum)
• Assist in fracture
repair
OSTEOBLASTS (Gr.- osteon-bone, blastos – germ)
 Immature bone cells
that secrete matrix
compounds
(osteogenesis)
 Osteoid
•Matrix produced by
osteoblasts, but not
yet calcified to form
bone
•Osteoblasts
surrounded by bone
become osteocytes
OSTEOCYTE
 Mature bone cells that
maintain the bone
matrix
• Live in lacunae

STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION
 Macroscopically
1. Compact bone
2. Cancellous
bone
COMPACT BONE
 Strong dense – 80% of
the skeleton
 Consists of multiple osteons
(haversian systems) with
intervening interstitial
lamellae
 Best developed in the
cortex of long bones
 Osteons are made up of
concentric bone lamellae
with a central canal
(haversian canal)
containing osteoblasts and
Contd.
 Lamellae are connected
by canaliculi
 Cement lines mark
outer limit of osteon
(bone resorption
ended)
 Volkmann’s canals:
radially oriented, have
arteriole, and connect
adjacent osteons
 This is an adaptation to
bending and twisting
forces (compression,
OSTEON
 The basic unit
of mature
compact bone
• Osteocytes
are arranged
in concentric
lamellae
• Around a
central canal
containing
blood vessels
CANCELLOUS BONE
(SPONGY OR TRABECULAR)
 Open in texture – meshwork of trabeculae (rods and
plates)
 Crossed lattice structure, makes up 20% of the
skeleton
 High bone turnover rate
 Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts in Howship’s lacunae
and formed on the opposite side of the trabeculae by
osteoblasts
 Osteoporosis is common in cancellous bone,
making it susceptible to fractures
 Commonly found in the metaphysis and epiphysis
of long bones
Contd.
 Does not have
osteons
• The matrix forms
an open network
of trabeculae
• Trabeculae have
no blood vessels
 Microscopicall
y
1. Lamellar
bone
2. Woven bone
LAMELLAR BONE
 Bone is made up of layers or lamellae
 Lamellae – is a thin plate of bone
consisting of collagen fibres and mineral
salts, deposited in gelatinous ground
substance
 Between adjoining lamellae we see small
flattened spaces – lacunae
LAMELLA
R BONE
Contd.
 Lacunae
1. Contains one osteocyte
2. Have fine canals or canaliculi that
communicate with those from other lacunae
 Fibers of one lamellus run parallel to each
other, but those of adjoining lamellae run at
varying angles to each other.
WOVEN BONE
 Found in all newly formed bone – later
replaced by lamellar bone
 Collagen fibres are present in bundles - run
randomly
– interlacing with each other
 Abnormal persistence – paget’s disease
Primary
Immature
Woven
Secondary
Mature

MICROSCOPIC
MACROSCOPIC
GROSS STRUCTURE OF AN ADULT
LONG BONE
 Shaft
 Two
ends
SHAFT
 Composed of
1. periosteum,
2. cortex and
3. medullary
cavity
PERIOSTEUM
 External surface of any bone covered by a
membrane – periosteum
 Two layer
 Outer – fibrous membrane, inner – cellular
 In young bones – inner layer – numerous
osteoblasts – osteogenitic layer
 In adults – osteoblasts are not conspicuous, but
osteoprogeniter cells present here can form
osteoblasts when need arises
PERIOSTEUM
PERIOSTEUM
FUNCTIONS
 Medium through which mucles, tendons
and ligaments are attached
 Forms a nutritive function
 Can form bone when required
 Forms a limiting membrane that prevents bone
tissue from ‘spilling out’ into neighbouring
tissues
CORTEX
 Is made up of a compact bone which
gives the desired strength
 Can withstand all possible mechanical
strains
ENDOSTEUM
 • An incomplete cellular
layer:
– lines the marrow cavity
– covers trabeculae of
spongy bone
– lines central canals
• Contains osteoblasts,
osteoprogenitor cells,
and osteoclasts
• Is active in bone growth
and repair
MEDULLARY CAVITY
Filled with red or yellow bone marrow
1. Red – at birth – haemopoiesis
2. Yellow – as age advance – atrophies – fatty
3. Red marrow persists in the cancellous ends
of long bones
PARTS OF YOUNG BONE
 It ossifies in 3 parts
 The two ends from the secondary
centers
 Intervening shaft from a primary
center
EPIPHYSIS
(Gr., a growing upon)
 The ends of a bone which ossify from
secondary centers
 Types
1. Pressure epiphysis – transmission of the
weight . Ex- head of femur, etc
2. Traction epiphysis – provides attachment to
one or more tendons which exerts a traction
on the epiphysis. Ex- trochanters of femur,et
3. Atavistic epiphysis – phylogenitically an
independent bone , which fuses to another
bone. Ex- coracoid process of scapula,etc
4. Aberrant epiphysis – not always present. Ex-
head of the 1st metacarpal and base of other
metcarpal
DIAPHYSIS
(Gr., a growing through)
 It is the elongated shaft of a long bone which
ossifies from a primary center
 Made of thick cortical bone
 Filled with bone marrow
METAPHYSI
S
(Gr. meta, after, beyond, + phyein, to grow)
 Epiphysial ends of a diaphysis
 Zone of active growth
 Typically made of cancellous bone
 Hair pin bends of end arteries
EPIPHYSIAL PLATE OF CARTILAGE
 It separates epiphysis from the metaphysis.
 Proliferation – responsible for lengthwise
growth of the long bone
 Epiphysial fusion – can no longer grow
 Nourished by both epiphysial and
metaphysial arteries
BLOOD SUPPLY OF
BONES
 LONG BONES – derived
from
1. Nutrient artery
2. Periosteal artery
3. Epiphysial artery
4. Metaphysial artery
Nutrient artery
1. Enters through the nutrient foramen
2. Divides into ascending and descending
branches in the medullary cavity
3. Branch divides – small parallel
channels – terminate in adult
metaphysis
4. Anastomosing with the epiphysial,
metaphysial and periosteal arteries
5. Supplies the medullary cavity , inner 2/3
of the cortex and metaphysis
6. Nutrient foramen is directed away
 Periosteal arteries
1. Numerous beneath
the muscular and
ligamentous
attachments
2. Ramify beneath the
periosteum and
enter the
volkmann’s canals
to supply the outer
1/3 of the cortex
 Epiphysial arteries
1. Derieved from periarticular vascular
arcades (circulus vasculosus)
2. Out of the numerus vascular foramina
in this region
– few admit arteries and rest venous
exits
3. Number size – idea of the relative vascularity
of the two ends of long bone
 Metaphysial arteries
1. Derived from the neighbouring systemic
vessels
2. Pass directly into the metphysis and
reinforce the metaphysial branches from
the primary nutrient artery
HOMEOSTASIS OF BONE TISSUE
• Bone Resorption – action
of
osteoclasts and
parathyroid hormone
aka parathormone aka
PTH
• Bone Deposition –
action of osteoblasts and
calcitonin
• Occurs by direction
of the thyroid and
parathyroid glands
MC
OC
FACTORS AFFECTING BONE TISSUE
• Deficiency of Vitamin A – retards bone
development
• Deficiency of Vitamin C – results in fragile
bones
• Deficiency of Vitamin D – rickets, osteomalacia
• Insufficient Growth Hormone – dwarfism
• Excessive Growth Hormone – gigantism,
acromegaly
• Insufficient Thyroid Hormone – delays bone
growth
• Sex Hormones – promote bone formation;
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BONE
APPLIED ANATOMY
 Periosteum is particularly sensitive to
tearing or tension –
1. Drilling into the compact bone without
anaesthesia causes only dull pain
2. Drilling into spongy bone is much more
painful
3. Fractures, tumours and infections of the
bone are very painful
 Blood supply of bone is so rich that it is very
difficult to sufficiently to kill the bone
Contd.
 In rickets – calcification of cartilage fails
and ossification of the growth zone is
disturbed
1. Osteoid tissue is formed normally and the
cartilage cells proliferate freely ,
2. Mineralization does not takes place
 Scurvy – formation of collagenous fibres and
matrix is impaired
 Osteoporosis - Bone resorption proceeds faster
than deposition
FRACTURE HEALING
 STAGES OF FRACTURE
HEALING
1. Stage of inflammation
2. Stage of soft callous
formation
3. Stage of hard callous
formation
4. Stage of remodelling
STAGE OF INFLAMMATION
STAGE OF SOFT CALLUS
FORMATION
STAGE OF HARD CALLUS
FORMATION
STAGE OF REMODELLING
MECHANISM OF BONE HEALING
 Direct (primary) bone healing
 Indirect (secondary) bone
healing
DIRECT BONE HEALING
 Mechanism of bone healing seen when there is no motion
at the fracture site (i.e. absolute stability)
 Does not involve formation of fracture callus
 Osteoblasts originate from endothelial and perivascular
cells
 A cutting cone is formed that crosses the fracture site
 Osteoblasts lay down lamellar bone behind the
osteoclasts forming a secondary osteon
 Gradually the fracture is healed by the formation of
numerous secondary osteons
 A slow process – months to years
INDIRECT BONE HEALING
 Mechanism for healing
in fractures that have
some motion, but not
enough to disrupt the
healing process
 Bridging periosteal (soft)
callus and medullary (hard)
callus
re-establish
structural
continuity
 Callus subsequently
undergoes endochondral
BONE REMODELLING
 WOLFF’s LAW – remodeling occurs in
response to mechanical stress
1. Increasing mechanical stress increases
bone gain
2. Removing external mechanical stress increases
bone loss which is reversible on (to varying
degrees) on remobilzation
Contd.
 PIEZOELECTERIC REMODELING – occurs
in response to electric charge
1. The compression side of bone is
electronegative stimulating osteoblasts
2. Tension side of the bone is
electropositive, stimulating
osteoclasts
CARTILAGE (L.-cartilago – gristle)
 It is a connective tissue composed of cells
(chondrocytes) and fibres (collagen) in matrix,
rich in mucopolysaccarides
 smooth type of connective tissue
 it covers and protects the ends of long bones at the
joints as articular cartilage.
 structural component of many body parts including
the rib cage, the neck and the bronchial tubes, and
the intervertebral discs.
 It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much
stiffer and much less flexible than muscle.
CARTILAGE
 Groung substance – chemically GAG
 Core protein – aggrecan
 Collagen – type 2
 Fibrocartilage and perichondrium – type 1
 Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes
that produce a large amount of collagenous
extracellular matrix, abundant ground substance that is rich in
proteoglycan and elastin fibers.
cartilage
cartilage does not contain blood vessels or nerves.
Some fibrocartilage such as the meniscus of the knee does
however have blood supply in part.
Nutrition is supplied to the chondrocytes by diffusion.
The compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic
cartilage generates fluid flow, which assists the diffusion of
nutrients to the chondrocytes.
Compared to other connective tissues, cartilage has a very slow
turnover of its extracellular matrix and is documented to repair
at only a very slow rate relative to other tissues.
General features
 Has no blood vessels or lymphatics
 Nutrition is by diffusion through matrix
 No nerves – insensitive
 Surrounded by a fibrous membrane –
perichondrium
 Articular cartilage has no
perichondrium – regeneration after
injury inadequate
 When calcifies – chondrocytes die –
replaced by bone
TYPES
 HYALINE
CARTILAGE
 FIBROCARTILAGE
 ELASTIC
CARTILAGE
HYALINE CARTILAGE
(G. hyalos - transparent stone)
 Bluish white and transparent due to very
fine collagen fibres
 Abundantly distributed – tendency to calcify
after 40yrs of age
 All cartilage bones are preformed in hyaline
cartilage
 Ex – articular cartilage, costal cartilage
FIBROCARTILAGE
 White and opaque due to abundance of dense
collagen fibres
 Whenever fibres tissue is subjected to great
pressure – replaced by fibrocartilage
 Tough, strong and resilient
 Ex – intervertebral disc, intraarticular disc
Fibrocartilage
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
 Made of numerous cells and
 Rich network of yellow elastic fibres
pervading the matrix – so that it is more
pliable
 Cartilage in the external ear, auditory tube
Elastic cartilage

    BLOOD SUPPLY OF BONES LONG BONES – derived from 1. Nutrient artery 2. Periosteal artery 3. Epiphysial artery 4. Metaphysial artery
  • 78.
    Nutrient artery 1. Entersthrough the nutrient foramen 2. Divides into ascending and descending branches in the medullary cavity 3. Branch divides – small parallel channels – terminate in adult metaphysis 4. Anastomosing with the epiphysial, metaphysial and periosteal arteries 5. Supplies the medullary cavity , inner 2/3 of the cortex and metaphysis 6. Nutrient foramen is directed away
  • 80.
     Periosteal arteries 1.Numerous beneath the muscular and ligamentous attachments 2. Ramify beneath the periosteum and enter the volkmann’s canals to supply the outer 1/3 of the cortex
  • 82.
     Epiphysial arteries 1.Derieved from periarticular vascular arcades (circulus vasculosus) 2. Out of the numerus vascular foramina in this region – few admit arteries and rest venous exits 3. Number size – idea of the relative vascularity of the two ends of long bone
  • 83.
     Metaphysial arteries 1.Derived from the neighbouring systemic vessels 2. Pass directly into the metphysis and reinforce the metaphysial branches from the primary nutrient artery

    HOMEOSTASIS OF BONETISSUE • Bone Resorption – action of osteoclasts and parathyroid hormone aka parathormone aka PTH • Bone Deposition – action of osteoblasts and calcitonin • Occurs by direction of the thyroid and parathyroid glands MC OC
  • 86.
    FACTORS AFFECTING BONETISSUE • Deficiency of Vitamin A – retards bone development • Deficiency of Vitamin C – results in fragile bones • Deficiency of Vitamin D – rickets, osteomalacia • Insufficient Growth Hormone – dwarfism • Excessive Growth Hormone – gigantism, acromegaly • Insufficient Thyroid Hormone – delays bone growth • Sex Hormones – promote bone formation;

    APPLIED ANATOMY  Periosteumis particularly sensitive to tearing or tension – 1. Drilling into the compact bone without anaesthesia causes only dull pain 2. Drilling into spongy bone is much more painful 3. Fractures, tumours and infections of the bone are very painful  Blood supply of bone is so rich that it is very difficult to sufficiently to kill the bone
  • 90.
    Contd.  In rickets– calcification of cartilage fails and ossification of the growth zone is disturbed 1. Osteoid tissue is formed normally and the cartilage cells proliferate freely , 2. Mineralization does not takes place  Scurvy – formation of collagenous fibres and matrix is impaired  Osteoporosis - Bone resorption proceeds faster than deposition

    MECHANISM OF BONEHEALING  Direct (primary) bone healing  Indirect (secondary) bone healing
  • 97.
    DIRECT BONE HEALING Mechanism of bone healing seen when there is no motion at the fracture site (i.e. absolute stability)  Does not involve formation of fracture callus  Osteoblasts originate from endothelial and perivascular cells  A cutting cone is formed that crosses the fracture site  Osteoblasts lay down lamellar bone behind the osteoclasts forming a secondary osteon  Gradually the fracture is healed by the formation of numerous secondary osteons  A slow process – months to years
  • 99.
    INDIRECT BONE HEALING Mechanism for healing in fractures that have some motion, but not enough to disrupt the healing process  Bridging periosteal (soft) callus and medullary (hard) callus re-establish structural continuity  Callus subsequently undergoes endochondral
  • 100.
    BONE REMODELLING  WOLFF’sLAW – remodeling occurs in response to mechanical stress 1. Increasing mechanical stress increases bone gain 2. Removing external mechanical stress increases bone loss which is reversible on (to varying degrees) on remobilzation
  • 101.
    Contd.  PIEZOELECTERIC REMODELING– occurs in response to electric charge 1. The compression side of bone is electronegative stimulating osteoblasts 2. Tension side of the bone is electropositive, stimulating osteoclasts

    CARTILAGE (L.-cartilago –gristle)  It is a connective tissue composed of cells (chondrocytes) and fibres (collagen) in matrix, rich in mucopolysaccarides  smooth type of connective tissue  it covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints as articular cartilage.  structural component of many body parts including the rib cage, the neck and the bronchial tubes, and the intervertebral discs.  It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much stiffer and much less flexible than muscle.
  • 104.
    CARTILAGE  Groung substance– chemically GAG  Core protein – aggrecan  Collagen – type 2  Fibrocartilage and perichondrium – type 1  Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes that produce a large amount of collagenous extracellular matrix, abundant ground substance that is rich in proteoglycan and elastin fibers.
  • 105.
    cartilage cartilage does notcontain blood vessels or nerves. Some fibrocartilage such as the meniscus of the knee does however have blood supply in part. Nutrition is supplied to the chondrocytes by diffusion. The compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage generates fluid flow, which assists the diffusion of nutrients to the chondrocytes. Compared to other connective tissues, cartilage has a very slow turnover of its extracellular matrix and is documented to repair at only a very slow rate relative to other tissues.
  • 106.
    General features  Hasno blood vessels or lymphatics  Nutrition is by diffusion through matrix  No nerves – insensitive  Surrounded by a fibrous membrane – perichondrium  Articular cartilage has no perichondrium – regeneration after injury inadequate  When calcifies – chondrocytes die – replaced by bone
  • 107.
  • 109.
    HYALINE CARTILAGE (G. hyalos- transparent stone)  Bluish white and transparent due to very fine collagen fibres  Abundantly distributed – tendency to calcify after 40yrs of age  All cartilage bones are preformed in hyaline cartilage  Ex – articular cartilage, costal cartilage
  • 112.
    FIBROCARTILAGE  White andopaque due to abundance of dense collagen fibres  Whenever fibres tissue is subjected to great pressure – replaced by fibrocartilage  Tough, strong and resilient  Ex – intervertebral disc, intraarticular disc
