Functions of the skeletal system

Give shape & support Protect internal organs Moves muscles Form blood cells Store calcium and phosphorous

Periosteum: soft, thin, covers and protects the bone

Compact Bone: Hard, outer surface. Can heal itself when broken

Spongy Bone: Porous, contains blood vessels, nerves

Marrow: manufactures red blood cells

Skeletal System

is divided into

two parts

Axial Skeleton Skull (protects

the brain). Ribs ( protect

lungs, and heart).

Spinal column (houses and protects the spinal cord).

Appendicular Skeleton

Legs Pelvis Arms Shoulders

Types of Joints Immovable

Skull Pelvis

Movable Pivot Ball & socket Hinge Gliding

Ball & Socket: Shoulders and Hips

Allows arms and hips to move in any direction

Can move in a full 360 degrees

Pivot Joints: First two neck vertebrae & joint beneath elbow

Moves in a semicircle motion by twisting against each other

Hinged: Elbows & Knees

Move like hinges on a door

Limited movement

Can only swing back and forth

Gliding Joints: Spine, Wrists, Ankles

Slide against each other in a gliding motion

Gives your wrists and ankles lots of freedom

Immoveable joints are located in the:

These types of joints are found in the head and arms.

Voluntary

These muscles can be controlled consciously

Hinge

These joints are found in elbows and knees.

Involuntary

Skeletal

Muscle tissue that is attached to bones and causes movement.

Smooth

This type of tissue lines the walls of many organs and are involuntary.

Cardiac
