SMOOTH MUSCLEFound in blood vessels, stomach, intestine, esophagus,

•Not striated

•Involuntary

•Not branched

•Slow to tire

SKELETAL MUSCLE

•Striated

•Voluntary

•Not branched

•Tires when working hard

attaches to and moves bones.

CARDIAC MUSCLEFound only in the heart.

•Striated

•Involuntary

•Branched

•Never tires

Two or more tissues working together make up an ORGAN.

Organs working together make up an ORGAN SYSTEM.

Homeostasisis the state of

having a stable internal

environment.

OBJECTIVES•Discuss the functions of the skeletal system.

•Describe the structure of a bone.

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

•Provides shape and support

•Allows movement

•Protects vital organs and tissues

•Stores certain materials

•Produces blood cells

The Skeletal System is the body’s living framework.

206 bones make up the skeleton.

Most of the skeletal system is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage (connective tissues).

The skeleton is divided into two parts.

•Axial skeleton•Appendicular skeleton

Axial Skeletonskull

ribsbreastbone

vertebral column

Appendicular Skeleton

shoulders

arms and hands

pelvis/hips

legs and feet

Axial SkeletonProtects the Organs.

Ball and Socket A ball and socket joint allows for radial movement in almost any

direction. They are found in the hips and shoulders.

Hinge A hinge joint allows extension and retraction of an appendage.

Injuries to the skeletal and muscular systems.•Sprain – ligaments and tendons are torn or pulled beyond their stretching range.

•Fracture – a break in the bone.

•Dislocation – when a bone is forced out of its joint.
