…providing support and protection for your body since

1999-ish.

Bones are living tissue!Every movement we make is possible

because of the INTERACTION of muscles with the SKELETAL SYSTEM.

The skeletal system is made up of a strong, connective tissue called BONE.

The skeletal system does 3 things:It serves as the ANCHOR for all the body’s

MOVEMENT.It provides SUPPORT.It PROTECTS soft organs inside the body.

2 Types of Bone Tissue

COMPACT boneFunctions as the basic SUPPORTIVE tissue

of the body.The SKELETON.The outer layer of compact bone is HARD

and TOUGH.It covers the OUTSIDE of most bones.

2 Types of Bone Tissue (cont.)

SPONGY boneMade up of a CALCIUM network.Less DENSE; strong but lightweight.MARROW is found in the spongy bone.Marrow produces RED blood cells.BLOOD VESSELS transport new red blood

cells from the marrow and carry materials and nutrients to and from the bone.

Fill in the blanks on the skeleton in your notes outline & then we’ll talk about the 2 different types of skeletons…

1.Axial Skeleton

2.Appendicular Skeleton

With your partner…

Read about the Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular Skeleton on page 16 of your textbook.

Then, on the back of your notes, create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the 2 different skeletons.

Your changing skeleton…

Making Connections…JOINTS connect parts of the skeletal system.

Immoveable &slightly moveable joints Examples? Write them down!

Freely moveable joints Examples? Write those down, too.

bone tissue?

What are the main divisions of the human skeleton?

Name 3 types of movement produced by moveable joints and give an example of each.
