4.3 Materials of the skeleton

- Take off your coats

- Take your books out of your bags

Learning goals

• What is cartilage and where in the skeleton can you find it?
  
• What is a bone made of?
  
• How is a bone renewed and repaired?
  
• How does a bone grow?

Which 4 tissue types do we have in our body?

tissue types

bone and cartilage are made up out of connective tissue

cartilage flexible 

bone hard

Bone                                           Cartilage

Name this type of tissue.

1. Cartilage
2. Bone

Name this type of tissue.

1. Cartilage
2. Bone

Which tissue is this?

1. Bone tissue
2. Cartilage tissue
3. Nervous tissue
4. connective tissue

Where do you find more cartilage bone in the human body?

1. Skull
2. Femur
3. Ear
4. Humerus

Make question 19 in your workbook

Let's have a look inside the bone.

Layers of the bone

1. Periosteum (pare-ee-OS-tee-um)

-membrane that contains nerves and blood vessels (new bone cells are made here)

2. Compact bone

3. Spongy bone

4. Bone marrow (in the flat bones it produces blood cells)

Make question 20 in your workbook

Make question 21 in your workbook

Write down any words you did not understand

Growing

Growth plate = A special layer of cartilage cells inside the head of each long bone which helps to grow new bone cells so the bone becomes longer.

How do doctors predict your estimated final length?

Doctors use the size of the growth plate to predict the final height of a person. They measure the growth plate in the metacarpals. The thicker the growth plate, the more a person can still grow.

 Left: the metacarpals of a two year old. Right: the metacarpals of an eighteen-year-old.
