200
What’s another word for movement? Locomotion

Muscle & Connective Tissue Animation
How do skeletal & muscular systems show unity within diversity? Many organisms have either internal or external skeletons which carry out similar functions (protection & support)
How does form follow function? The structure of bones… primarily “hollow” tubes allows for strength without adding too much weight… muscle structures allow them to contract & relax causing movement
Which two systems work together to allow support & movement?

2. The Role of the Skeleton
What are the 3 main functions of the skeletal system?
support the body
protect organs
aid in movement
provides attachment site for muscles
Protection (skull, ribs, breast bone, vertebrae) of organs
support (thigh bones = femur)
Locomotion/movement (attachment for muscles)
ALSO: Make blood cells (in bone marrow) & store calcium (give bones strength)

3. Bone… Living or Not? Is bone living?
Yes, even though it’s hard & made of minerals, bone IS a LIVING tissue that grows.
Think about it… are you the same height as you were when you were… a baby? …a young child? …last year?
3 types of bone cells
Osteoblasts – cells that form new bone through ossification – replacement of cartilage or membrane by bone – take calcium from blood
Osteocytes -- are mature osteoblasts found in most formed bone tissue
Osteoclasts break down bone
Ossification = replacement of cartilage w/ bone by activity of osteoblasts & addition of minerals such as calcium compounds (taken from blood) Occurs in most bones Not completed until ~25 years old
Some cartilage remains at ends to provide smooth joint surfaces

4. Tissues of the Skeletal System
What types of tissue make up the skeletal system?
cartilage
bone
compact (solid) bone
spongy bone
membrane (periosteum)
marrow
ligaments

5. Cartilage What is cartilage? Where is cartilage found?
A tough, flexible tissue that doesn’t store calcium, so it is less dense than bone.
Where is cartilage found?
mostly at the ends of bone
Why?
acts as a cushion for joints
Where is cartilage found? at the ends of bones in adult (to provide for smooth joint surface), as rings around the trachea to prevent collapse, most of the skeleton in the vertebrate fetus & a number of parts of juvenile skeleton,
Density = mass/volume (higher density = more mass per unit volume, so more compact)

6. Bone Structure What types of tissues are found in bone?
Interactive Bone Diagram
What types of tissues are found in bone?
compact (solid) bone
hard part of bone
very strong b/c stores calcium
usually found along outer edges
spongy bone
has many empty spaces
usually found near end of bones
membrane (periosteum)
covers bone
contains nerves & blood vessels
marrow
soft center in bone
makes blood cells
Periosteum – tough outer membrane, supplies nerves and blood vessels to Haversian canal, contains cells needed for growth & repair, point of attachment for muscle
2 types of bone tissue compact bone  shafts of long bones, hard & compact, made of alternating layers of collagen (protein) & minerals & contains many tiny channels called Haversian canals which carry blood vessels & nerves that supply osteocytes in the bone tissue, marrow in central hollows of many bones (red marrow in flat bones & ends of long bones produces red blood cells, some white blood cells, & platelets, & yellow marrow in hollow interior of long bones stores fat), marrow also functions in formation of bone cells
spongy bone  ends of long bones, under a layer of compact bone, composed of a system of cavities & intersecting plates

7. Ligaments What are ligaments?
connective tissue: holds bones to other bones
What holds bones to other bones? connective tissue called ligaments (made of collagen & some elastic fibers)
Muscles also play a role

8. Joints What is a joint? What allows joints to move smoothly?
where bones come together
What allows joints to move smoothly?
cartilage covering the end of the bones
fluid-filled bags between cartilage & bone
Ends of bones covered with cartilage provide smooth joint surfaces Fluid-filled bags between cartilage & bone (= bursa) Why? Cushion to prevent bones from rubbing against each other

9. types Types of Joints fixed movable ball & socket hinge pivot gliding
gliding joint
types
fixed
movable
ball & socket
hinge
pivot
gliding
Ends of bones covered with cartilage provide smooth joint surfaces Fluid-filled bags between cartilage & bone (= bursa) Why?
Most are movable What holds them together? Muscles & connective tissue called ligaments (made of collagen & some elastic fibers
Classification of Joints Animation

10. Fixed Joints Are not connected by ligaments. Do they move?
What is an example?
skull
Examples individual bones of skull
mobility? Fixed joints in the skull create flexibility during birth b/c not fused yet (“soft spots”), in adults fused together (not connected by ligaments), connected by fibrous connective tissue
Also known as immovable joints or sutures

11. Types of Movable Joints
1. ball & socket
In which direction(s) does it move?
rotate, front-back, side-side
most mobility of all joints
What are examples?
hip, shoulder
Examples  shoulder (end of humerus = rounded knob, shoulder/scapula = depression) & hip (end of femur = rounded knob, pelvis = depression)
most mobility How can it move? Rotate, move front–back, move side-side

12. Types of Movable Joints
2. hinge
In which direction(s) does it move?
open-closed (only in 1 direction)
like a door
What are examples?
elbow, knee
Examples Elbow, knee, fingers, toes
Limited mobility Which directions? movement in only 1 direction (like a door  opened or closed)

13. Types of Movable Joints
3. pivot
In which direction(s) does it move?
twists/rotates
like a door knob
What are examples?
skull w/ neck vertebrae, lower arm
Examples where skull connects to vertebrae/spine, where ulna & radius (lower arm) connect near elbow
limited mobility Which directions? The end of one bone rotates (pivots) on another

14. Types of Movable Joints
4. gliding
In which direction(s) does it move?
slides back-forth, side-side
What are examples?
vertebrae (back), wrist, ankle
Examples vertebrae, wrist, ankle
limited mobility Which directions? back and forth motion, side to side

15. The Muscular System What is the muscular system?
all muscles in the body
What is the function of the muscular system?
movement
What is a muscle?
tissue that can change shape & length
>600 muscles human body
made of long, excitable cells capable of contraction
attached to skeleton
contract  pull on skeleton results in movement

16. 3 Human Muscles Types What are the 3 different muscle types in humans?
skeletal (a.k.a. striated)
smooth
cardiac
Each has a different structure, pattern, job, & location in the body.
Skeletal muscles (striated) – voluntary, moves bones, long multinucleate cells “fibers”
Smooth muscles – involuntary, lines digestive and respiratory tracts and blood vessels, tapered distinct cells
Cardiac muscle – involuntary, only in heart, striated and branched

Muscle Types in the Body

21. Tendons What are tendons? connective tissue: holds muscles to bones
must be attached to bones at 2 points
at opposite ends of the muscle
What holds muscles to bones? connective tissue called tendons
Attachment to 2 sites is necessary for movement (during contraction one end of the muscle the bone to which it is attached do not move = point of origin) (other end of the muscle & the bone to which it is attached move when the muscle contracts = point of insertion)
The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body

22. How Muscles Work How do muscles work? by contracting or relaxing
muscle fibers cannot lengthen
So, skeletal muscles must work in opposing pairs.
flexors
extensors
Muscle fibers are made of fibrils which are made of protein filaments called actin (thin) & myosin (thick)
Sliding Filament Hypothesis  muscle receives nerve impulse… actin & myosin slide over one another… muscle contracts… when muscle relaxes actin & myosin go back to original positions

23. Skeletal Muscles Work in Pairs
What does a flexor do when it contracts?
bends the joint
Examples of flexors?
biceps, hamstring (back of thigh)
Animation of Muscles Working in Pairs
Muscles Contracting in Pairs
flexor
extensor
What does each do?
flexor causes flexing/decrease of angle (bending) at a joint ex. biceps, hamstring
extensor causes the extension/increase of angle (straightening) of a joint ex. triceps, quadriceps
Flexors & extensors are also important for support of body b/c both muscles of pair are always slightly contracted (“muscle tone”), keeps muscles ready for quick contractions.

24. Skeletal Muscles Work in Pairs
What does an extensor do when it contracts?
straightens the joint
Examples of extensors?
triceps, quadriceps (front of thigh)
