Skeletal System Functions
Give Shape and support Protection of Organs Enables Movement Produce red Blood Cells Storage of minerals

Cranium Mandible Clavicle Scapula Sternum Humerus Rib Vertebral Column
Ulna Pelvis Radius Sacrum Carpals Coccyx Metacarpals Phalanges Femur Patella Tibia Fibula Tarsals Metatarsals Phalanges 2

bones which do not fall into any other category
TYPES OF BONES Long Bone Short Bone Support, strong As wide as they are long Flat Bone Irregular Bone Provides Protection bones which do not fall into any other category
4
Skeletal Joints Where 2 or more bones come together
Ball and Socket: allows for greatest movement – hip, shoulder Gliding: surfaces slide over one another – wrist, ankle, thumb (saddle joint) Hinge: movement on one plane – elbow, knee, fingers, toes Immovable/Suture: provides for growth not movement – cranium Pivot : bones spin and twist around other bones neck, radius of elbow
5
Types Of Joints Pivot Hinge Ball & Socket Gliding Top of the neck
Elbow/Knee Ball & Socket Gliding Intercarpal joints Shoulder/Hip 5
6
Ligaments (Red) Type of connective tissue “ties” bones together
7
Tendons Type of connective tissue Attaches muscles to bones
8
Cartilage On end of bones provides cushion and keeps bones form grinding against each other Damaged or lack of cartilage can cause arthritis – can be very painful and limit motion
