1 Skeletal System

2 Functions Provide support Protect internal organs Allows your body to move Stores and produces materials that your body needs

3 Development of Bones Newborn skeleton is made up of cartilage –Cartilage- a tough supporting tissue that is softer and more flexible than bone

4 Structure of bone Compact bone- make up the outer layer of all bones Spongy bone- contains flat and needlelike structures that resist stress Bone marrow- tissue that fills the spaces in bones

5 Joints Joint- a place in your body where two or more of your bones come together Types of joints (know examples of each): –Pivot: Head and neck –Ball and socket: Shoulder or Hip –Hinge: Elbow or Finger or Knee –Gliding: Wrist or Ankle Ligaments-what holds bones to bones at joints

6 Keep Bones Healthy Eat well Exercise –Weight bearing exercises Avoid injuries –Bone injuries Fracture –Joint injuries Sprain Dislocation

7 Arthritis: inflammation of a joint Involves the breakdown of cartilage of –Cartilage absorbs shock when pressure is placed on joint OsteoarthritisRheumatoid Arthritis

8 Muscular System

9 Voluntary vs. Involuntary Voluntary Movement – movement that is under our conscious control Involuntary Movement – muscles that are not under our conscious control

10 Types of Muscles Skeletal muscle- voluntary muscle that we control to do activities Cardiac muscle- involuntary muscle that is found only in the heart Smooth muscle- involuntary muscles that causes movements within your body

11 How Muscles Work Contracting (becoming shorter and thicker) For each contraction, the fibers that contract: –Will depend on the amount of force required –Will contract completely Muscles work in PAIRS

12 Keeping Healthy Include warm-up and cool-down Work muscles for both endurance and strength Avoid muscle injuries –Strain –Tendonitis
