What is the role of your cartilage
provides support to bony areas
Functions ( what does it do) of the muscular system
Movement (allow you to walk, run etc), Support (muscles support the internal organs), Protection (cushions body internal organs), Heat generation (maintains internal body temperature), Blood circulation (pumping action of heart, cardiac muscle)
Functions (what does it do) of the skeletal system
Support ( gives your body its shape), Attachment ( attaches muscle tissue to bones), Movement ( helps you move), Protection ( protects your organs), Blood cell production ( creates new blood cells), Storage ( storing minerals).

What is flexion + example
Bending and decreasing the joint on an angle - upward phase of a bicep curl (elbow)
What is extension + example
Straightening and increasing the angle at a joint - downward phase of a bicep curl (elbow)
What is rotation + example
turning or twisting a bone along its axis - performing a drive shot in golf (hip)
What is a hinge joint + example
synovial joint which allows motion primarily in one plane - elbow
What is a saddle joint + example
