    The skeletal system is made of bones and connective tissues. It has two main parts - the axial skeleton which includes the skull and vertebral column, and the appendicular skeleton which includes the arms, legs, shoulders and pelvis. Bones are made of outer compact bone and inner spongy bone containing bone marrow. The skeletal system functions to support the body, protect organs, store minerals, produce blood cells, and enable movement.

    Name: __________________________________ Grade/Section: _____________ Date: _______________

    ____________________ are made of collagen and proteins.

    HUMAN SKELETON is made of: ___________________________ and _________________________________.

    CONNECTIVE TISSUE INCLUDES:


    • ____________________ that connect BONE to BONE
    • ____________________ that connect MUSCLE to BONE
    • ____________________ cushion the bones

    FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM:


    1. Support the body
    2. Protect the inner organs
    3. Storage of minerals (the most important mineral is Calcium)
    4. Production of Blood Cells (Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets)
    5. Movement

    Adult has ____________________ bones.

    HUMAN SKELETON CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN PARTS:


    ____________________ Skeleton which is the CENTRAL part. Includes skull, ossicles (ear bones), hyoid, vertebral
    column, and rib cage.
    ____________________ Skeleton which is the PERIPHERAL part. Includes arms and hands, shoulder, legs and feet,
    and pelvis.
    BONES CAN BE CLASSIFIED BY SHAPES:
    TYPE OF
    BONE

    Small
    SHAPE

    Cube shaped. Curved and Irregular


    BONE

    Long and cylinder shaped. rounded


    thin. shaped
    bones
    FUNCTION

    Move in muscle Support and


    Move in muscle Support and Protection
    contraction and relieve
    contraction. protection from force
    offer stability tension
    LEG: femur, tibia, fibula
    ARM: humerus, ulna, Sternum, ribs,
    Vertebrae,
    EXAMPLES

    radius cranial or skull,


    WRIST: carpals temporal,
    HAND: metacarpals, Patella scapulae or
    ANKLE: tarsals zygomatic,
    phalanges shoulder,
    mandible
    FEET: metatarsals, pelvis
    phalanges
    TWO MAIN TYPES OF BONE TISSUE:
    ____________________ Bone which is the OUTER LAYER of the bones that is hard/ tough.
    ____________________ Bones which are the INSIDE LAYER of the bones where you find the BONE MARROW.

    The BONE MARROW which is found inside bones can be ____________________ which stores fat for long term use
    of energy and it can be ____________________ which is important for the production of blood cells.

    BONE CELLS
    ____________________ cells that make bones.
    ____________________ the mature form of osteoblast that maintains the bone structure.
    ____________________ breaks down bone (REMODELING OF BONES) by dissolving them with enzymes. This is a
    normal process that is important to heal damaged bone and release minerals from the bone.

    BONE CELLS WORK WITH OTHER CELLS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY:


    ____________________ make cartilage (type of connective tissue)
    ____________________ mature form of chondroblasts that maintains cartilage.

    FUNCTIONS OF CARTILAGE:
    1. Support the bones
    2. Important in joints
    3. Important for bone placement

    ____________________ is the place where bones meet.

    FUNCTION OF JOINTS:
    1. Hold bones together with connective tissue.
    2. Allows bone movement without damaging the bones.

    THREE MAIN TYPES OF JOINTS:


    ____________________ joints allow NO movement. Example is the skull.
    ____________________ joints allow movement in two or more direction. Example is the shoulder.
    ____________________ joints allow a small amount of movement. Example is the vertebrae.
