The skeletal system is the framework that holds our body together. Without bones we would be a pile of mush on the floor. Home What is the skeletal system?

Skeletal System Bones also protect our body. our skull protects our brain our spine protects the nerves in our spinal column our ribs protect our heart & lungs Home

That is a lot of bones! Babies have over 300 bones in their body. Adults have 206 bones in their body. half of our bones are in our hands and feet the largest and heaviest bone is the femur The smallest bone is in the ear…ear ossicles. The stapes (“stirrup”), incus ("anvil"), and malleus (“hammer”). Home

The Spine The spine is the central support for the body. It is what allows us to stand up. The spine is made up of separate bones called vertebrae. There are 33 vertebrae in the spine 7 Cervical - in the neck 12 thoracic - chest area 5 lumbar - lower back 5 Sacrum & 4 Coccyx - fused vertebrae that make up the tailbone Home

Did you know? That Giraffes and humans have the same number of bones in their neck. Giraffe neck vertebrates are just much,much longer Home

The rib cage is made up of 12 vertebra, 24 ribs and the sternum. It protects our heart and lungs. Menu The Ribs

Our lower body is incredibly strong. The pelvis - hip bone- helps us stand upright and move Other bones in the leg are the femur, fibular & tibia Our patella - knee cap - protects the knee joint Hips and Legs Home

Shoulders & Arms The clavicle and scapula form the shoulder There are 3 bones that make up our arms humorous radius ulna Home

Half of our 206 bones are in our hands and feet Our hands have 27 bones Our feet have 25 bones Hands and Feet Home

What about Joints? A joint is a location where two or more bones meet. Some joints do not move - like those in our skull. But others help our body move. Home

Ball and Socket Joints Home

Hinge Joints Home

Pivot Joint Home

Sliding/Gliding Joints These joints slide past each other. Midcarpals (in our hands) and midtarsals (in our feet) are gliding joints. See if you can feel the gliding joints as you make your hand into a fist. Home

Double joints? Home

QUIZ TIME! Click on the correct answer What type of joint is our shoulder? sliding joint hinge joint ball and socket joint pivot joint
