The compact bone has a highly

organized and compact structure. It
has concentric layers surrounding a
black dot. It also has very small, thin
lines radiating from the dot. The
compact bone looks like a cross-
section of a tree with circular ring
layers with some spaces in between.

 II. Discussion

Huysseune (2000) described the physiological functions of skeletal system as a biological system that
is made up of bones, cartilages, ligaments, and other tissues. Bone tissue, also known as osseous tissue, is a
thick, hard connective tissue that makes up the majority of the adult. Cartilages, as a semi-rigid connective
tissue, offer flexibility and smooth surfaces for movement in regions of the skeleton where entire bones
move against each other. Furthermore, extensive connective tissue ligaments surround these joints,
connecting skeletal components together. Bones help you move by acting as attachment sites for your
muscles. Internal organs are likewise protected by bones, which cover or surround them. A variety of
minerals vital to the body's functioning, including calcium and phosphorus, are stored in bone tissue. Fat
storage and blood cell synthesis are also found in bones, particularly in the bone marrow.
Bandovic , Holme, and Futterman (2020) enumerated unique bone markings that allow for the
identification of bones and bony pieces, the formation of joints, the sliding of bones past one another, the
locking of bones in place, and the attachment of muscle and connective tissues to provide structural support.
Stabilization, protection, and a route to nerves, arteries, and other structures are all provided by bone marks.
Bones have a wide range of surface characteristics, depending on their function and location in the body.
Specifically, they stated that the common bone markings include: Angles - Sharp bony angulations that can be
utilized as bone or soft tissue attachments, but are most commonly used for describing anatomically, Body -
Usually refers to the bone's biggest and most visible section, Condyle - The term refers to a prominent
protrusion that typically offers structural support to the underlying hyaline cartilage and bears the brunt of
the joint's strain, Crest - A conspicuous or elevated portion of a bone's border where connective tissue
connects muscle to bone, Diaphysis - The major portion of a long bone, often known as the shaft, Epicondyle
- In the musculoskeletal system, a prominence that lies above a condyle and connects muscle and connective
tissue to bone to give support, Epiphysis - The articulating segment of a bone is located between the proximal
and distal poles of the bone and is important for bone development, Facet - A gliding joint is formed by a
smooth, flat surface that creates a junction with another flat bone or another facet, Fissure - An open gap in a
bone where nerves and blood arteries are frequently found, Foramen - Nerves and blood vessels travel via
this opening, Groove - A trench in the bone surface that spans the length of an artery or nerve and provides
room to prevent compression by surrounding muscle or external pressures, Head - A conspicuous, rounded
bone extension that is part of a joint, Margin - Any flat bone's edge that is utilized to precisely delineate a
bone's boundaries, Meatus - A tube-like channel that runs through the bone and may allow nerves, arteries,
and even sound to flow through, Neck - A bone's section between the head and the shaft, Notch - A
depression in a bone that, more often than not, serves to stabilize a neighboring articulating bone, Sinus -
Any organ or tissue that has a cavity, Spinous Process - Where muscles and connective tissue join, there is a
high, acute elevation of bone, Trochanter - On the side of the bone, there is a significant protrusion,
Tuberosity - Where muscles and connective tissues attach, there is a modest prominence, and finally,
Tubercle - Connective tissues adhere to this tiny, rounded protrusion.

Mark (2021) classified the 206 bones in the human body into four bone type or four basic bone
shapes. Long bones, for instance, have a tubular shaft with articular surfaces on both ends. Long bones make
of the humerus, radius, and ulna in the arms and the femur, tibia, and fibula in the legs. The second kind of
bone is the short bone, which has a tubular shaft with articular surfaces on both ends but is considerably
smaller. All of the metacarpals and phalanges in the hands, as well as the metatarsals and phalanges in the
feet, are short bones. Sesamoid bones are a form of short bone that is tiny, flat, and shaped like a sesame
seed (Chen, et al., 2015). Sesamoid bones are the patellae. Sesamoid bones form inside tendons and can be
found at knees, hands, and foot joints. The third type of bone is the flat bone, which is thin and has a wide
surface. The scapula, ribs, and sternum are among the flat bones. Finally, irregular bones are characterized by
their uneven size and form, as well as their tendency to be compact. The vertebral column, carpal bones in
the wrists, tarsal bones in the feet, and the patella are among them.
Clarke (2008) used a long bone's anatomical structure provides for the pointing out a bone's key
anatomical areas. In it—the longitudinally cut bone anatomical structure—the diaphysis and epiphysis which
are the two major anatomical areas are found. The diaphysis is the tubular shaft of the bone that connects
the proximal and distal ends. The medullary cavity is a hollow area in the diaphysis that is loaded with yellow
marrow. The diaphysis walls are made up of thick, strong, compact bone. The epiphysis, which is filled with
spongy bone, is the broader portion at either end of the bone. The spongy bone's spaces are filled with red
marrow. At the metaphysis, where each epiphysis meets the diaphysis, the epiphyseal plate, a layer of
hyaline cartilage in a developing bone, is found. The cartilage is replaced by osseous tissue when the bone
stops developing in early adulthood, and the epiphyseal plate transforms into an epiphyseal line. The
endosteum, a thin membrane lining in the medullary cavity, is where bone formation, healing, and
remodeling take place. The periosteum is a fibrous membrane that covers the outer surface of the bone. The
periosteum nourishes solid bone by containing blood arteries, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. The periosteum
is also where tendons and ligaments connect to bones. Except when the epiphyses connect other bones to
create joints, the periosteum covers the whole outer surface. The epiphyses are coated in articular cartilage,
a thin sheet of cartilage that functions as a dampener and decreases friction.

Chiang and Liu (2021) summarized the structural and functional units of cortical bone—osteons or
Haversian systems. Each osteon is made up of circular layers of calcified matrix termed lamellae, as seen in
figure 8. The central canal, also known as the Haversian canal, runs along the middle of each osteon and
includes blood arteries, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. To reach the periosteum and endosteum, these
vessels and nerves branch off at right angles through a perforating canal, also known as Volkmann's canals.
The osteocytes are situated inside lacunae, which are found at the intersections of neighboring lamellae.
Canaliculi link to other lacunae's canaliculi, and then to the central canal. This mechanism permits resources
to be delivered to the osteocytes while also eliminating waste.

Betts et al. (2013) classified the skeleton into two major divisions—the axial and appendicular. The
axial skeleton, which comprises all bones in the head, neck, chest, and back, comprises the vertical, central
axis of the body. The brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs are all protected by it. It also acts as the attachment
point for muscles that move the head, neck, and back, as well as muscles that move the limbs via acting
across the shoulder and hip joints. The adult's axial skeleton has 80 bones, including the head, vertebral
column, and thoracic cage. There are 22 bones that make up the skull. A total of seven bones are linked with
the skull, including the hyoid bone and the ear ossicles (three small, tiny bones inside the ear). The vertebral
column is made up of 24 bones, each referred to as a vertebra, as well as the sacrum and coccyx. The 12 pairs
of ribs plus the sternum, the flattened bone of the anterior chest, make up the thoracic cage. All bones of the
upper and lower limbs, as well as the bones that connect each limb to the axial skeleton, make up the
appendicular skeleton. An adult's appendicular skeleton has 126 bones.
III. Guide Questions
1. What is an OSTEON or HAVERSIAN SYSTEMS? Describe each component of the osteon.
Chiang and Liu (2021) described the osteon or haversian systems as a structural unit of the bone. In figure 8,
lamellae are seen as concentric layers of matrices full of calcium. The dark spots observed in the middle of each
osteons is the central or the haversian canal contains blood vesssels, nerves, and lymph vessels for cooperation and
sustenance of the bone cells. Lacunae—darkly stained in figure 8— are lenticular spaces in the mineralized matrix
that houses an osteocyte. Darkly stained in figure 8, radiating from the central canals are tiny canals called
canaliculae. These small channels allow the transportation of nutrients and waster to and from the osteocytes. For
communication of the inside and outside regions, perforating or Volkmann’s cannal run at right angles carrying blood
vessels, and nerves.
2. Summarize the bones of the axial and appendicular skeleton.
Betts et al. (2013) categorized the bones of the skeletal system into axial and appendicularly. In summary, the
axial skeleton containsall the bones in the head, neck, chest, and back—comprising the vertical, central axis of the
body. Marieb (2015) also stated that the axial skeleton is divided into three parts which is the skull, thoracic cage, and
the vertebral column. Specifically, the major bones in the axial skeleton are the cranium, facial bones, sternum, ribs,
vertebra, and sacrum. On the other hand, the appendicular skeleton contains all the upper and lower limb bones, and
also the bones that connect the axial to the appendicular skeleton. Specifically, the appendicular skeleton contains
the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, pelvic girdle bones, femur, patella, tibia,
fibula, tarsals, and metatarsals.

Conclusion
The skeletal system works as a supporting structure of the body as it allows the body to take shape, movement,
make blood, provide protection and store minerals (Huysseune, 2000). Most of the skeletal are made up of osseus or
bone tissue and it can facilitate movement through attaching to the muscular system. Semi-flexible cartilages offer
protection at the joints of the skeleton. Ligaments glue all the skeletal structures together. Mineral storage and
production of blood cells are also possible thanks to the bones. Bone markings helps on anatomical description, joint
formations, stable locking and attachment of connective and muscular tissues (Bandovic , Holme, and Futterman,
2020). Bone markings include angles, body, condyle, crest, diaphysis, epicondyle, epiphysis, facet, fissure, foramen,
groove, head, margin, meatus, neck, notch, sinus, spinous process, trochanter, tuberosity, and tubercle. The four
main kind of bones are the long bones that have a tubular shaft with articular surfaces at the edges, short bones that
are similar to long bones but are somewhat smaller, flat bones that are thin but wide, and irregular bones that are
uneven in shape and form. The diaphysis and epiphysis which are the two major anatomical areas forms the tubular
shaft of bone and broader portion of the bone respectively. The medullary cavity inside the diaphysis houses the
yellow blood marrow. Endosteum lines the inner cavity of the bones while the periosteum lines the outer surface of
the bone with cartilage. Osteons or Haversian systems are the structural units of the bone that contain concentric
lamellae, haversian canals with vessels and nerves that supply the system, Volkmann’s canals that branch off right
angles—connecting the inner and outer systems, osteocytes in the lacunae, and canaliculi that links on other canals.
The skeleton is divided into the axial and appendicular regions which the former contains the skull, thoracic cage, and
the vertebra, while the latter consists of all the bones in the limbs. It is imperative to study the features and functions
of the skeletal system as it is the framework of our very bodies, and any irregularities and dysfunction of the system
might impair its vital function in our human body.
