Cartilage(fibers are embedded in a firm gel instead of a calcified cement substance like bones) Chondrocytes: cartilage cells 3. Joints (articulations) 4. Ligaments (hold bone to bone) 5. Tendons (hold bone to muscle) 1.Axial skeleton: Skull, Ribs, Sternum, Hyoid bone, Vertebrae Protect major organs like the brain, heart and lungs 2.Appendicular skeleton: Upper Extremities: Shoulder, arms, wrists, hands, fingers Lower Extremities: Pelvic girdle, legs, ankles, feet, toes Works with muscles to produce movement Two subdivisions of the skeleton: 1 Function of Bones 1.___________the body 2. Protect soft ________________ 3. Allow Movement due to attached skeletal muscles 4. Store minerals and fats _______________and phosphorus and Fat in the internal marrow cavity 5. __________ cell formation (process is called hematopoiesis) Axial Skeleton Appendicular Skeleton
