The Skeletal System Properties of the Skeletal

System Extremely hard and durable Bones are composed primarily

of calcium Calcium levels vary in

people Low levels of calcium mean

the bones can become increasingly brittle and breakable

Bones are able to repair themselves Casts, splints, pins and

other aids are often required for correct healing process

Functions of the Skeletal System

Structural Support

Protection

Growth centre for cells

Reservoir of minerals

Movement

About Bone …

Composed of 50% water and 50% organic and inorganic material

Elements include: phosphorous, zinc, calcium, magnesium, fluorine, iron, chlorine

Resists compression and tension

Bound by joints (through ligaments)

Muscles attach to bone (through tendons) to produce movement

5 Types of BonesBones are classified according to their shape

Long Bones___________________________________________________The femur is the best example of a long bone

Short Bones___________________________________________________Carpal bones are a good example

Flat Bones___________________________________________________

Irregular Bones___________________________________________________

Sesamoid bones Unusual bones in that they are small, flat bones wrapped

within tendons that move over boney surfaces. Example patella
