1 What is locomotion?

2 - the ability to move from place to place
What is locomotion? Locomotion - the ability to move from place to place Why is locomotion important to an organism?

3 cilia pseudopods flagella

4 exoskeleton endoskeleton

5 Molting -shedding of the exoskeleton

6 The Musculo-skeletal System

7 Components of the musculoskeletal system
bones cartilage ligaments tendons muscles smooth cardiac skeletal

10 Bone Marrow

11 Haversian Canals osteocyte

12 Bone - a type of connective tissue that is hard and inflexible
living tissue - osteocytes blood vessels bone marrow inorganic compounds (Ca, P) connective tissue fibers (collagen, polysaccharides)

13 Functions of Bone give the body shape and support
protect delicate structures produces red blood cells and some white blood cells sites of attachment for skeletal muscles levers for movement of body parts storage places for minerals (Ca, P)

15 Development of Red Blood cells

16

17 Red Marrow - Soft tissue found in flat bones (ribs) and
Red Marrow Soft tissue found in flat bones (ribs) and in the ends of long bones produces blood cells million per second Yellow marrow made up mostly of fat tissue found in the center of long bones may produce red blood cells if there is a great loss of blood

18 There are 25,000,000,000,000 red blood cells in the human body.
If 3 million red blood cells die each second, then how many must be made to replace them in one day? 259,200,000,000

20 Normal spongy bone Osteoporitic bone

21 What is osteoporosis?

22 Osteoporosis A disease in which the bones become extremely porous, are subject to fracture, and heal slowly, occurring especially in women following menopause and often leading to curvature of the spine from vertebral collapse.

23 Osteoporosis causes - loss of calcium from the bones
- lack of vitamin D other factors aging, physical inactivity, reduced levels of estrogen, heredity, excessive Cortisone or thyroid hormone, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake

24 What is a joint? A point in the skeleton where bones meet

25

26 Ligament - band of tough, fibrous tissue connecting bones together

27 Tendons strong bands of connective tissues that attach skeletal muscle to bone

28

29 What are these body parts
made of?

30 a type of flexible connective tissue
Cartilage a type of flexible connective tissue

36 Skeletal Muscle

37 Types of Muscle smooth muscle cardiac muscle skeletal muscle

40 biceps triceps

41 Why must muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Muscles can only produce movement through contracting (pulling the bones). They cannot move (push) the bones by relaxing.

42 Biceps - flexor Triceps - extensor

44 Components of the musculoskeletal system
