Axial skeleton (central core) contains 3 things:
- Skull—cranium and facial bones
- Vertebral column
- Rib cage—ribs and sternum
Appendicular skeleton (periphery) contains 2 things:
- Pectoral (shoulder) girdle—clavicle,
scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, hand - Pelvic (hip) girdle—coxal bones (pelvis),
femur, tibia, fibula, foot
6 Functions of the Skeletal System:
- Support for soft tissues
- Protection from injury to internal organs
- Body movement – leverage
* Attachment sites for muscles (tendons)
* Bone connections (ligaments) - Mineral HOMEOSTASIS
- Blood cell production (red bone marrow)
* HEMOPOIESIS - Energy storage (yellow bone storage)
Skeletal muscles move bones at _____.
joints
Muscles only shorten when they ____.
* Must be arranged in antagonistic pairs
contract
In Antagonistic pairs, each member of pair of muscles pulls on a bone in _____ direction.
opposite
Often, there are antagonistic pairs of muscles pulling a bone in a
direction ____ a joint
over
Immovable (synarthrosis)—
joints of cranium
Slightly moveable (amphiarthrosis)—
joints
between vertebrae
