1. Cells

2. Ground substance ( Non fibrous protein)

Matrix
3. Fibre (collagen, elastic, reticular)
BONE
BONE IS A SPECILIZED CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Components

1. Cells

2. Matrix

Inorganic
Ground substance ( glycoprotein and minerals such
as calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate)

Organic
Fibre (collagen fibre type l)
Long bone

• Two knobby ends are called epiphysis

• Two ends are joined by a long Shaft called

diaphysis

• Contain medullary cavity filled with bone

marrow

• Two ends are articulating ends

• Most of the long bones are responsible for

weight bearing

• Example: femur and humerus

Short bones

• Structurally Small size

• Cubical or rounded in nature

• Example: carpal bones

Irregular bone

• Shape of the bone is ill-defined in nature

• Major mechanical support for the body.

• Example: vertebrae protects the spinal cord

Flat bones

• Flat and shallow plate-like bones

• These bones forms boundaries of body cavities

such as thoracic cavity and cranial cavity

• Example : Rips and sternum

Other types

• Pneumatic bones

- Bones contain air-filled cavity

- Mainly around the nasal cavity (make the

skull lighter and add resonance of voice)

• Sesamoid bones

-Bone developed within the tendon
