Assignment 1 –
The Skeletal System

2. Criteria – Unit 1
Unit 1 P1 – Describe the structure & function of the skeletal system. P2 – Describe the different classifications of joints.

3. The Structure & Function of the Skeletal System
What we did;-
Labelled a diagram
Split the skeleton into axial / appendicular
Types of bones - FLISS
Diagram of a long bone
Anatomical terms
Functions = BSPAM

4. The Different Classifications of Joints
What we did;-
Anatomical Movement Terms
3 main types of joints
6 synovial joints

5. Criteria – Unit 2
Unit 2
P1 – Describe the musculoskeletal & energy systems response to acute exercise.
M1 – Explain the response of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular & respiratory systems response to acute exercise.
P3 – Describe the long term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system & energy systems.
M2 – Explain the long term effects of exercise on the musculoskeletal system & energy systems.

6. Short & Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Skeletal System
What we did
Acute Response – Increased range of movement
Long term effects –
Increase in bone calcium stores
Increased stretch of ligaments
Increased thickness of hyaline cartilage
Increased production of synovial fluid
