Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 3 of 24 Your skeletal system has five main roles. Functions of the Skeletal System provides support protects internal organs allows your body to move stores and produces materials that your body needs

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 4 of 24 Your skeleton is made up of all the bones in your body. Support and Protection Your skeleton gives your body its basic shape and provides the support that you need. Many bones of the skeletal system protect internal organs.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 5 of 24 In coordination with your muscular and nervous systems, your skeletal system allows you to move. Movement

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 6 of 24 Your bones store essential substances which are released when other parts of the body need them. Storage and Production of Materials Some bones also produce blood cells.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 8 of 24 Your skeletal system is made up of just over 200 bones. Bones and Joints A place in your body where two or more of your bones come together is called a joint.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 9 of 24 Your bones are living structures that undergo change throughout your life. Development of Bones Cartilage is a tough supportive tissue that is softer and more flexible than bone. By young adulthood, most of this cartilage is replaced by bone in a process called ossification (ahs uh fih KAY shun). In a process called ossification minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, are deposited within the cartilage, making it hard.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 10 of 24 Bone consists of two different types of tissue— compact bone and spongy bone. Structure of Bones Another type of tissue called marrow fills the spaces in bones. There are two types of marrow—red and yellow.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 11 of 24 Compact Bone Compact bone makes up the outer layer of all bones. Although it looks dense and solid, It is full of holes for nerves and blood vessels. Spongy Bone Spongy bone contains flat and needlelike structures that resist stress. Red bone marrow may fill the open spaces in some bones. Central Cavity Central cavities in long bones usually contain yellow bone marrow (fat). Outer Membrane An outer membrane covers most of a long bone. The inner portion of a membrane contains cells that build up and breakdown bone.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 12 of 24 Joints allow for movement and protect bones from friction and force. Joints Bones are held together at joints by strong, fibrous bands called ligaments.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 13 of 24 Ball-and-Socket Joint A ball-and-socket joint allows movement in all directions. Your shoulders and hips are ball-and-socket joints. Hinge Joint Hinge joints allow bending and straightening movements.Your knees and elbows are hinge joints. Gliding Joint Gliding joints allow movement in many directions as the bones slide along each other. Your wrists and ankles contain gliding joints. Pivot Joint A pivot joint connects your head to the first vertebra in your backbone. It allows you to turn your head from side to side.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 16 of 24 A combination of eating well, exercising, and avoiding injuries contributes to lifelong bone and joint health. Keeping Healthy Regular medical checkups can help detect skeletal system problems.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 17 of 24 Adequate intake of calcium and phosphorus will help your bones grow to their maximum size and strength. Eating Well Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and break easily. Other nutrients that are important for bone health include potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and D.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 18 of 24 Another way to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis is to get plenty of weight-bearing exercise. Exercising Activities in which the bones support the entire weight of your body help your bones grow strong and dense.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 19 of 24 A fracture is a break in a bone. Avoiding Bone Injuries You can protect your bones from fractures. When participating in a physical activity, wear appropriate safety equipment, such as helmets and pads. Always wear a seat belt when traveling in a vehicle.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 20 of 24 Proper warm-up and stretching exercises are important to help prevent joint injuries. Avoiding Joint Injuries Sprains A sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament. Dislocations In a dislocation, the ends of the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal positions. Torn Cartilage Serious damage to the cartilage between the bones in a joint is known as torn cartilage. Overuse Injuries When an activity is performed too often or too strenuously, joints may become irritated and inflamed.

Section 11.1 Your Skeletal System Slide 21 of 24 A doctor can advise you on how to prevent serious injury or recommend other professionals who can help you. Medical Checkups A nurse or doctor may check your spine for scoliosis (skoh lee OH sis), an abnormal curvature of the spine.
