Skeletal system
The framework of bones the joints between them and cartilage that protect our Organs and allow us to move. Supporting the soft tissue of the body maintains body form and posture. Protecting crucial component of the body brain lung heart and spinal cord. Furnishing surface for the attachment of muscle tendons and ligaments. Providing storage area for minerals such as calcium and fat. Produce blood cells - hematopoiesis. 206 bones
Carliaginous
Movement - slight (amphiarthrosis), material between bone - cartilage, ex - vertebrae
Synovial
Movement - freely, material between- synovial fluid, ex - ball and socket joint.
Fibrous
Movement - immovable, material between bone- connective tissues, ex - suture of skull bone
Freely moveable joint
Ball and socket joint. Condyloid joint. Gliding joint. Hinge joint. Pivot joint. Saddle joint.
Diarthodial joint
Abduction ad duction flexion extension and rotation
Special movement of the forearm ankle and clavicle
Supination pronation inversion eversion
Thumb

Lateral movement of the body part away from the midline
Add duction
Lateral movement of the body part toward the midline
Circumduction
Turning in a circular motion
Flexion
The state of being bent
Extension
The state of being in a straight line
Hyper extension
The state of exaggerated extension
Dorsiflexion
Backward bending of the hand or foot
Plantar flexion
Flexion of the foot
Rotation
Turning on axis
Internal rotation
A body part turning on its axis toward the midline
External rotation
A body part turning on on its axis away from the midline
Pronation
The assumption of the prone position example when the forearm is turn so that the palm facing downwards
