What are the major organs of the skeletal system and their jobs? The major organs of the skeletal system are bones, Cartilage, Tendons, and Ligaments. Their jobs are to protect our internal organs. Cartilage protects the body parts and their functions. Tendons provides the strength that our body needs, and Ligament helps muscles connects to the joint.

Major organs continued.. The skeletal system helps determine the shape of the body and protects our organs. The skeletal system works together to move our muscular system to help us move our body.

What are the functions of the skeletal system? What does it do? How does it do it? The functions of the skeletal system supports and most of all it helps protect the body. The skeletal system also helps movement in our body and stores minerals to produce red blood cells.

Function of the skeletal system continued… The functions in the skeletal system helps movement, protects internal organs to go in the process of storing minerals and producing blood cells.

Why is the skeletal system important to survival? This provides and support and for the rest of the body. It also have mineral storage. The thing the creation of new red blood cells is the form of bones. It attaches muscles to move.

Why is the Skeletal system important to survival continued? The skeletal system is important due to the facts that it supports for the rest of our body need and protect our internal organ. Without ours bones or our skeletal system, we would be a something where all organ are together and we can’t move because of no bones.

Diseases There are some disorders in the skeletal system. It is imbalanced, and bones can cause lower back pain, syanca, scolyoses some diseases are arthritis in joint, muscle pain, oseoarthritis, tendor pain. There could also be some joint of the muscle connected to the skeletal system.

Disorders of the Skeletal system continued. Skeletal System ma have disorders like muscular imbalanced. The skeletal may have disease like in the joint that are connected to your skeletal system some diseases are leukemia, Bursitis, arthiritis, and Scurvey.

Vocabulary Cartilage- is a connective tissue that is composed of important cell and fibers. Tendons- a skeletal organ that provides adhesive strength as it connects muscle to bone. Ligaments- are organs that connects bone to bone in the skeletal system.

Vocabulary continued. Cranium- the bones of the skull surrounding the brain. Vertebrae- bones that make up the spine. Ribs- bones protecting the chest cavity. Scapula- the shoulder bone. Coxa- the hipbones.

Vocabulary continued. Homopoesis- is the process of making blood cells. Red blood bones meets or connected to one another. cells- A cell in blood of vertebrates that transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. Joints- where two bones meet and connects together.
