1 What are the functions of the skeletal system?

Ans.
functions of the skeletal system include:
1. Provides support to body
2. Facilitates body movements
3. Protects internal organs from damage
4. Produces red blood cells
5. Stores minerals such as calcium and phosphorous,
releases into blood when required.

2. Discuss the microscopy structure of bones

Ans. The basic microscopic unit of bone is an osteon (or
Haversian system). Osteons are roughly cylindrical
structures that can measure several millimeters long and
around 0.2 mm in diameter. Each osteon consists of a
lamellae of compact bone tissue that surround a central
canal
3 name six bones of limbs?
Ans.These are the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal
bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges
4. Draw the diagram of human skeleton system
Ans .......
5.State the various types of bones: explain
Ans. There are 6 Types of bone. They are classified by
shape
Long Bones. Short Bones. Flat Bones. Irregular Bones.
Sesamoid Bones.
Sutural Bones. Hence, The main types of bones in terms
of shape are flat bones, Irregular bones and Short bones.
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above .
6 . What are the various types of joints . Explain
Ans. The different types of joints are as follows:
∗ Immovable joints - Example: Bones of the skull box
∗ Partially movable joints - Example: Joints between the
ribs and breast-bone.
∗ Freely movable joints - Example: Hip joint
∗ Gliding joint - Example: Ankle bones
∗ Pivot joint - Example: Joint between axis vertebrae and
atlas
∗ Hinge joint - Example: Joint between finger bones and
toes
∗ Ball and socket joint - Example: Shoulder joint
7.
Ans. Flexion and extension. (a)–(b) Flexion and extension
motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of
motion. These movements take place at the shoulder,
hip, elbow, knee, wrist, metacarpophalangeal,
metatarsophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints.

Ans. 1. Flexion: Flexion is movement decreasing the angle
between articulating bones. For example: flexion at the
elbow is decreasing the angle between the ulna and the
humerus
. 2. Extension: Extension is the opposite of flexion,
describing a straightening movement that increases the
angle between body parts. For example, when standing
up, the knees are extended.
3. Adduction: Adduction is movement towards the mid
line of the body also applies to movements inwards and
across the body. e.g. right femur extended out to the
right side, inwards towards or across the centre of the
body.
4. Abduction: Abduction is movement away from the mid
line of the body. For example: Abduction of the hip is
when the femur (upper-leg bone) moves outward to the
side.
 5. Rotation: Rotation is movement in which something
e.g. a bone or a whole limb, pivots or revolves around a
single long axis.
