Muscles
Tendons
Bands of fibrous connective tissue, tendons
attach muscle to the periosteum (fibrous
membrane covering the bone). They move
bones when skeletal muscles contract.
Ligaments
Ligaments: attached from bone to bone
Joints
Range from joints that dont move to joints
that freely move. This joint types separates
bones with a thin layers of fibrous
connective tissue.
Bones
Bones protect, support, allow for
locomotion and mineral storage (Ca,Mg)
Bursae
Located at frictions points arround joints
between tendons, ligaments, and bones,
these small synovial fluid sacs act as
cushions, decreasing stress to adjacent
structures
Skeletal Movement
Skeletal movement is
caused primarily by
muscle contractions,
other musculoskeletal
structures also play a
role
The Integumentary
System
Functions of skin
Protection
Cushions and insulates and is waterproof
Protects from chemicals, heat, cold, bacteria
Screens UV
Integumentary components
3 layers:
- Epidermis: the outer/superficial
protective layer
- Dermis: Deepest and thickest layer of the
integumentary system, comprising 2
layers, the papillary and reticular layers
Melanocyte
Makes the pigment melanin
Traps UV radiation and prevents damage to
underlying layers of the skin
Functions
Storage in adipose tissue
Cushions and insulates underlying
structures

Clinical Appearances
Fractures
Excess stress or direct trauma is placed on a bone,
causing a break.
Gout
This is a metabolic disorder in which the body does
not properly metabolize purine based proteins.
Osteoarthritis
A degenerative joint disease caused by the
wear and tear of the articular cartilage.
Osteoporosis
In this metabolic bone disorder, the rate of
bone resorption accelerates and the rate of
bone formation slows, reducing the patients
bone mass.
Acne Vulgaris
This inflammatory disease of the sebaceous follicles
primarily affects adolescents .
Bacterial Infections
Bacterial skin infections include impetigo ;
folliculitis , furunculosis, and carbunculosis ; and
cellulitis.
Dermatitis
Inflammation of the skin, dermatitis occurs in
several forms ; atopic and seborrheic , nummular,
contact , chronic , exfoliative , stasis , and localized
neurodermatis.
