Skeletal
System
 What are the 5
Functions of the Muscle attached to bones!!

1.Skeletal
Movement: System?
Skeletal system
provides points of
attachment for muscles.
Your legs and arms move
when the muscles pull on
the bones.

2. Support: The backbone is

the main support center for
the upper body. It holds your
head up and protects your
spinal cord.
What are the 5
Functions of the
Skeletal
3 . Protection: System?
The bones of
your skull protect your
brain. Your ribs protect
your lungs and heart from
injury.

4. Makes Blood: Red and

white blood cells are
formed by tissue called
marrow, which is in the
center of the bone.
What are the 5
Functions of the
Skeletal System?
5. Storage: Bones
store minerals, such
as calcium and
phosphorus, for use
by the body
What are the Two
Major Skeletal System
Parts?  Axial Skeleton: The
axial skeleton includes
the skull, spine, ribs
and sternum.

 Appendicular
Skeleton: The
appendicular skeleton
includes the
appendages of the
body, which are the
shoulders, arms, hips,
and legs.
What are the
Basic Bone
Shapes? Fourbasic bone
shapes:
1. Long- arms, legs and
fingers
2.Short- wrist and
ankles
3. Flat- skull and
sternum
4. Irregular- spine
What is the Structure
of Bone?
 Typical Four
Layers:
 Periosteum: Covers
Bones
 Compact Bone: Lies
beneath the
periosteum
 Spongy Bone: Lies
beneath the
compact bone
 Bone Marrow: Fills
the gaps between
the spongy bone
What is the  Bones are complex
Structure of Bone? living structures that
undergo growth and
development.
 A thin tough outer
membrane covers the
bone.
 Beneath the outer
membrane is a layer of
compact bone (hard
and dense, but not solid
– it is filled with holes
and has small canals
for blood vessels and
nerves).
What is the
Structure of Inside the
compact bone is
Bone? a layer of spongy
bone.
It has many small
spaces, is light
weight, but
strong.
Spongy bone is
also found at the
ends of bones.
What is the
Structure of  Inthe spaces of many
bones there is a soft
Bone? connective tissue
called marrow.
 Two types of Marrow:
Red Marrow
produces most
of the body’s
blood cells.
Yellow Marrow
stores fat that
can serve as an
energy reserve.
How Strong are
Bones? The structure of
bones make it
both strong and
light weight.
20 % of an adults
body weight is
bone.
Bone is made up
of 2 minerals:
Calcium
Phosphorus
  Asan infant, most of your
How Do Bones skeleton is cartilage.
Develop?
 Cartilage is a strong
flexible tissue.

 Over time the cartilage is

replaced by solid bone,
usually complete by the
time you stop growing.

 Not all cartilage is

replaced in adults. Many
joints contain cartilage,
protecting the ends of
bones (ears and the end of
the nose is also cartilage).
Clavicle or Collarbone

 The clavicle, or
collar bone, holds
the shoulder joint
away from the rest
of the upper body
and is only as thick
as your little finger.
Scapula
 The scapula is
located on the back
side of the ribcage
and helps provide
part of the shoulder
joint and movement
for the arms.
Vertebral Column or Spinal
Cord
1) The cervical region (neck
bones) 

2) The thoracic region

(the ribs are
attached to)

3) The lumbar region (the

lower part of the back)

 Ulna on Bottom

What are Joints?
• A joint is a place
where two bones
come together.

• Joints allow the

bones to move in
different ways.

• Two types of joints:

• Immovable
• Movable
What are
Immovable Joints?

• A joint that
allows little or
no movement
 • Most of the joint are
What are Movable movable joints.
Joints? • Allow the body to move in
a wide range of
movements.
• Bones in movable joints
are held together by
strong connective tissue
called ligaments.
• Four types of movable
joints:
• Hinge
• Ball-and-socket
• Pivot
• Gliding
What is a Ball- ► Round end of bone
and-Socket fitting snuggly within
another bone.
Joint?  Ex. Shoulder and
Hip
► Allows the greatest
range of motion.
 The ball-and-socket
joint allows you to
swing your arm
freely in a circle.
What is a
Hinge Joint?  Movement in one direction
like a door.
 Ex. Knee and Elbow
 Allows forward or
backward motion.
What is a Pivot
Joint?

 Bone resting atop another

bone permitting free
movement.
 Ex.Neck, Wrist and
Ankles
 Allowsone bone to rotate
around another.
 Allows you to turn your
head
What is a Gliding
Joint? ► Allows one bone to
slide over another.
 Ex. Knuckles,
wrist, ankle
► Allowsyour to bend
and flex as well as
make limited side to
side motions.
What is a
Ligament? ►Connects bone to
bone.
What is a
Tendon?
►Attaches
muscles to
bones.
 Whatdoes it mean
when you say
“To succeed in life,
you need three
bones; a
wishbone, a
backbone, and a
funny bone”.
