skeletal system is divided into two parts axial skeleton skull vertebrae sternum ribcage appendicular skeleton femur humerus

structure supports the structures of the face or

of the parts of the face all the bones except the mandible are joined together

function supports and protects the brain

structure 3 parts to your spine (cervical,

thoracic, and lumbar) spine is actually a series of smaller

bones called vertebrae function main function is to protect the spinal

cord provides stiffness so we can sit/stand

structure longest and largest and strongest

bone in the body connects pelvis to lower leg bones function to give support to the whole skeletal

system to help provide motion and

movement for legs produces blood cells inside the bone

structure made up of bone and cartilage forms the core portion of the

human skeleton usually there are 24 ribs in the

body they are attached to the vertebrae

function protects the lungs and heart

and other vital organs supports some of the

breathing muscles

it is related to the muscular system because muscles are what more are bones

muscles move our leg bones to let us walk and run

all of our muscles are attached to our bones

exercise makes your bones stronger (lifting, running, weight, going to gym)

diet (fruits, veggies, meat, milk)

sleep is good for your body

low calcium unsuitable exercise trauma caused by lots of impact

osteoporosis when bones become weak lead to fractures

osteo arthritis when cartilage on bones wears down causes swelling pain and stiffness

leukemia form of cancer starts off bone marrow where blood cells are

formed

the largest bone is the pelvis longest bone is the femur it

makes up of a quarter of your body

smallest bone is the stirrup deep in the ear it’s hardly the size of a grain of rice

nose and ears aren’t actually bones they are made of cartilage

the skull has 22 smaller bones
