List of Skeletal System Diseases The 206 bones of the skeletal system provide a strong framework upon which muscles‚ tissues and organs can attach. This structure also protects your internal organs and allows your body to move around freely. Like any other body system‚ however‚ disease can affect your skeletal system. Arthritis Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects your joints‚ such as the knees‚ or a portion of your spinal column. Typical symptoms of this condition include joint

The Skeletal System 2/17/13 Period: 2 Sierra Smith Emily Johnson Imani Rigguns The skeletal system is one of the most important systems in the human anatomy. Without this system our bodies wouldn’t have any source of motion or movement. From the skull all the way to the toes of our feet‚ everything is important. Out of the 206 bones‚ they all form our different shapes and make us all unique. They create our framework and enables us the move and perform our different

skeletal system is divided into 2 divisions : the AXIAL SKELETON and the APPENDICULAR SKELETON. the axial skeleton consists of your SKULL‚ HYOID BONE‚ and VERTEBRAL COLUMN. and then your APPENDICULAR SKELETON consists of your SHOULDER GIRDLE‚ UPPER EXTREMITIES‚ and LOWER EXTREMITIES. your skull is the superior portion of your axial skeleton‚ wherein you can find your frontal bone‚ that forms the anterior third of your cranial dome‚ parrietal bone‚ that forms the middle segment of the cranial dome

Professor: Pierre Louis‚ Vertulie 4/16/13 A&P SKELETAL PROJECT! This system has 206 bones and associated cartilage‚ tendons‚ and ligaments. Because bone is unbending‚ it gives the body a structure‚ maintains its shape‚ and protects essential organs. Bones provide a place for muscles and supporting structures to attach‚ and‚ with the movable joints. A joint is a place of union between two or more bones that may be movable or immovable. Bone also functions as a place for mineral storage

Shape: The skeletal system gives the human body structure. It supports the internal organs that are held within the body in a network of tissue. Bones give us form. In sports support and shape are also used for example in a rugby scum‚ to body needs to be placed in such a way to keep the back aligned. Movement/ Attachment: The skeleton is jointed to allow movement. A joint is an articulation of two or more connecting bones‚ providing us with either stability or movement. Muscles are attached

Question 1 Skeletal System The skeletal system is a strong yet light‚ flexible living framework that supports the body‚ protects delicate internal organs and makes movement possible. In addition‚ our bones store minerals while red bone marrow produces blood cells. Support The skeleton provides a frame that shapes the body and holds it up. Within the skeleton different characteristics of support can be identified. As the body’s main axis‚ the backbone provides support to the trunk with its upper
