Skeletal System
2
The framework of your body and it is made of 206 living bones (300 in babies)
3
5 Functions of the skeletal system 1. Gives shape and support to your body
4
2. Protects your internal organs =
5
3. Muscles attached to your bones help you move
6
4. Marrow in the center of bones makes blood cells (2.5 million/second)
7
5.Bones store calcium and phosphorus for our body - Ca helps our heart and muscles work -P helps our cells produce and store energy -When stored in our bones, Ca and P help make bones stronger
8
Joints Any place where 2 or more bones come together. Ligaments hold the bones together
9
5 types of joints 1.Immovable joint (little or no movement)-skull
10
2.Ball and Socket (circular motion)-hip and shoulder
11
3. Pivot (twisting motion)-forearm
12
4. Hinge (one direction)- elbow and knee
13
5. Gliding (bones slide past each other)- wrist
16
Muscular System
17
Over 600 muscles make movement possible
18
2 Functions of the Muscular System 1. Helps your body move
19
2. Produces heat for your body (through exercise or shivering)
20
2 Types of Muscles 1. Voluntary muscles- muscles you control
21
2. Involuntary muscles- muscles you cannot consciously control
22
3 types of muscle cells
23
1. Skeletal- moves your bones, voluntary
24
2. Cardiac- only found in heart, involuntary
25
3. Smooth- Found in intestines and other internal organs, involuntary Animation of your esophagus squeezing food towards your stomach
