Presentation Transcript

  1. Skeletal System-Functions • Provides shape and support • Allows movement (provides a surface to which muscles attach) • Protect delicate tissues and organs • Storage of minerals (calcium and phosphorus) • Produces blood cells

  2. Bone Structure • compact bone: hard and dense for strength • Composed primarily of minerals • spongy bone: spaces for lower weight • Marrow: forms blood cells • veins and arteries: to bring nutrients to the cells • nerves: to collect information from the tissue and to send information to the brain

  3. Parts of Bone spongy bone bone marrow compact bone artery vein

  4. Parts of Bone: Cross Section bone making cells veins, arteries, nerves compact bone spongy bone bone marrow

  5. compact bone tissue tubes where blood vessels and nerves go through nuclei of bone cells

  6. compact bone spongy bone

  7. Bone Tissues

  8. Bone Tissues spongy

  9. Bone Tissues compact

  10. Bone Tissues marrow

  11. JOINTS Joints: any place where two bones come close together • Immovable (skull) • Movable (hinge, ball & socket, pivot, gliding) What holds the bones together at the joints? ligaments

  12. Type of Joint? ball and socket shoulder/upper arm
