Skeleton system relations Flashcards
What the skeleton gets from other systems and what it gives in return
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the integumentary system?
The intergumentary system synthesises vitamine D3, which is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorbtion for bone growth and maintenance. In return the skeleton provides structural support.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the muscular system?
The muscular system provides bone stability and tension from tendons stimulate bone maintenance. In turn the skeleton provides calcium needed for muscle contractions, and act as levers for movement.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the nervous system?
The nervous system regulates bone position by controlling muscles contractions. In turn the skeleton provides calcium for neural transmissions, protects the brain and nerves down the spine.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the endocrine system?
The endocrine system regulates skeletal growth with growth (hormone), sex (hormone) and thyroid hormones. Regulates calcium mobilisation. In turn the skeleton protects organs such as brain, chest and pelvic cavity.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the cardiovascular system?
The cardiovascular system provides O2, nutrients and hormones while removing waist products. In turn the skeleton provides calcium needed for cardiac contractions, and produces blood cells in the marrow.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system assists in disease prevention and the repair of bones following an injury. In turn the skeleton lymphocytes and other white blood cells are stored and produced in the marrow.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the respiratory system?
Provides O2 and releases CO2. In turn the skeleton protects and supports the lungs and their movement.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the digestive system?
The digestive system provides the nutrient, calcium and phosphates. In turn the skeleton protects portions of the liver, stomach and intestines.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the urinary system?
The urinary system conserves calcium and phosphates from waist products that it disposes of. In turn the skeleton provides some protection to the kidneys, uterus, bladder and proximal urethra.
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the reproductive system?
Sex hormones from the reproductive system stimulate growth and maintenance. In turn the pelvis protects reproductive female organs, and some ducts and glands in males.
