Skeletal System
3
Levels of Organization Organ System (Skeletal) – Organ (Bone) Tissue (Connective)
4
Skeletal System Divisions Axial – Skull, vertebrae, ribcage Appendicular – Hips, shoulders, appendages
5
Functions Movement – Muscle support Axial Appendicular
6
Functions Movement – Joints Cartilaginous – Compression – Vertebrae
7
Functions Movement – Joints Synovial – Ball-and-socket – Hinge
8
Functions Movement – Joints Synovial – Pivot – Saddle
9
Functions Protection – “Cages” around vital organs – Joints Fibrous – Short, tough fibers – Skull
10
Functions Mineral bank – Hardness from calcium Withdrawn and deposited as needed
11
Functions Withdrawn and deposited as needed – Use creates need for deposition – Lack of calcium means withdrawal
12
Functions Produce blood cells – Red marrow
13
General Bone Structure Epiphysis – Spongy bone – At ends Diaphysis – Compact bone – Main shaft
14
General Bone Structure Periosteum – Outer covering – Blood vessels Medullary cavity – Red marrow – Yellow marrow (fat)
15
General Bone Structure Columns of osteons – Bone around canals with blood vessels – Made by osteocytes in rings
16
WRAP UP Compare and contrast compact and spongy bone. Compare and contrast cartilaginous joints and synovial joints.
