BONE

-Bone is a living tissue that makes

up the body skeleton.
-Adult human has 206 bone. 
-Baby human has 300 bone.
-Rigid body tissue consisting of cell
embedded in abundant hard
intercellular materials such as
collagen and calcium phosphate.

BONE ANATOMY 1
YOUNG BONE

-A baby's bones begin to grow in

the womb.
-A typical long bone ossifies in
three parts two ends from
secondary centers and the
intervening shaft from a primary
center.

EPIPHYSIS

-The epiphysis is completely or

mostly cartilaginous in infants.
Initially it consists of articular cartilage and
growth cartilage until these become
differentiated by the development of a
secondary ossification center.

-Epiphysis, expanded end of the long bones in

human, which ossifies separately from the
bone shaft but becomes fixed to the shaft
when full growth is attained.

TYPES OF EPIPHYSIS

-PRESSURE EPIPHYSIS
-TRACTION EPIPHYSIS

-ATAVISTIC EPIPHYSIS

-ABERRANT EPIPHYSIS

TYPES OF EPIPHYSIS ANATOMY 4

TYPES OF EPIPHYSIS
PRESSURE EPIPHYSIS

-Theregion of the long bone that forms the joint is a pressure epiphysis 
example - head of femur lower end of radius.

TRACTION EPIPHYSIS
-Traction epiphyses ossify later than pressure epiphyses.
-It always provides attachment to one or more tendons which exert a traction
on the epiphysis.
Example- Trochanters of femur and tubercles of humerus.

TYPES OF EPIPHYSIS ANATOMY 5

ATAVISTIC EPIPHYSIS
-A bone that is independent phylogenetically but is now fused with another bone.
Example- Coracoid process of scapula.

ABERRANT EPIPHYSIS
-These
epiphyses are deviations from the norm and are not always present.
Example-The epiphysis at the head of the first metacarpal bone.

TYPES OF EPIPHYSIS ANATOMY 5

DIAPHYSIS

-The central tubular region of the bone is

called the diaphysis. The elongated
shaft of a long bone which ossifies from a
primary center.
-The diaphysis plays an essential role in
the structural functionality, the transport
of oxygen and immune support, and
mineral and fat storage.
-It is made up of cortical bone and usually
contains bone marrow and adipose tissue
(fat).

DIAPHYSIS ANATOMY 6
META PHYSIS
-It is a zone of active growth.

-Before epiphysis fusion the Metaphysis is

richly supplied with blood through end
arteries forming "hair pin" bend.
This is the common site of osteomyelitis in
children because the bacteria are easily
trapped in the hair pin bend causing
infraction. 

-After the epiphysis fusion , vascular

communications are established between
the metaphysial and epiphysial arteries.
METAPHYSIS ANATOMY 7
 EPIPHYSIAL PLATE OF CARTILAGE
-It separates Epiphysis from Metaphysis 

-Proliferation of cell in this cartilaginous

plate is responsible for lengthwise growth
of a long bone. 

-After the epiphysis fusion , the bone can

no longer grow in length.

-The growth cartilage is nourished by both

the Epiphysis and Metaphysis arteries.
