270 bones in infants, 206-213 bones in
adults(fused together)
Provides structure, support, movement,
production of blood cells, and
protection of organs.
2 types of bones, Compact and
Spongy; marrow in bones produce
blood cells.
Different sex = different physical traits
of the human skull; different lengths of
the chin, median nuchal line, and
supraorbital ridge. (Longer bones,
smaller hips, sharper teeth.
Starts out as Cartilage, then replaced
by osteoblast cells(breaks down bone)
If osteoclasts and osteoblasts don't
synchronize, it can lead to diseases
such as osteoporosis.
Axial skeleton and appendicular
skeleton; joints are places where 2
bones meet and connect.
 Drawn Analogy

The axial skeleton includes the vertebral spine, and

much of the skull (80 bones), Appendicular from the
pelvic(hip), upper limbs, and pectoral (shoulder), (126
bones).

 COMMON
DISEASE
Osteoporosis
A disease where it weakens the bones.
Symptoms - Easily broken bones, loss of height,
stooped posture.
Treatments - Medications such as Ibandronate acid,
Zoledronic acid, Alendronate acid, and Risedronate
acid. This medication helps the bone stay strong.
Causes - Eating disorders, low calcium intake,
gastrointestinal surgery
Ways to Prevent it - Eat calcium-rich food, get more
vitamin D, have a healthy diet, limit caffine and alcohol
