  1. Bones act as levers during movement and provide solid structures to which muscles are attached. The joints allow movement between bones and these movements are directly related to the type of joint and range of motion. Joints fall into one of three categories: Fixed fibrous or Synarthroses , Slightly moveable or Amphiarthroses and Freely movable or Diarthroses.

    Freely Movable joints comprises of four main groups: Ball and Socket, Hinge,Pivot, and Gliding

  2. Joints allow movement between bones the movements are related to joints and range of motion. There are different types of joints such as

    Fixed fibrous or Synarthroses (e.g. bones of the skull),
    Slightly moveable or Amphiarthroses (e.g. symphysis pubis
    Freely movable or Diarthroses.

    Freely Movable joints are in groups
    : Ball and Socket (e.g. hip),
    Hinge (e.g. elbow),
    Pivot (e.g. radius and ulna)
    and Gliding (e.g. carpal joint of the wrist

    Skeletal muscles are attached to bones, therefore when the associated muscles contract they cause bones to move. Bones provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move. Tendons are tough inelastic bands that hold attach muscle to bone

  3. Like the frame of a building, the skeleton provides the body’s shape. The skeleton also works with other systems to allow movement. The joints between bones permit movement, some allowing a wider range of movement than others,the ball and socket joint allows a greater range of movement than the pivot joint at the neck. Movement is powered by skeletal muscles, which are attached to the skeleton at various sites on bones. Muscles, bones, and joints provide the principal mechanics for movement, all coordinated by the nervous system.

    With protection the skeleton provide lots of support. The skull protects the brain, the eyes, and the middle and inner ears, the vertebrae protects the spinal cord, the rib cage, spine, and sternum protect the lungs, heart and major blood vessels, the clavicle and scapula protect the shoulder,the ilium and spine protect the digestive and urogenital systems and the hip,the patella and the ulna protect the knee and the elbow respectively,the carpals and tarsals protect the wrist and ankle respectively.

  4. The skeletal use for support and protection.
    The muscles are use for movement. The bones and the muscle work together as a time so the human can be moblie.

    -the vertebral column holds and protects the spinal cord

    -the ribs protect the lungs, heart, and other major tissue/ organs

    -the skull protects the brain, eyes, and other tissues in the head

    The muscular system is the anatomical system of a species that allows it to move. The muscular system in vertebrates is controlled through the nervous system. The muscle in your body also moves and pumps blood.
    ................................................
    The skeleton is the structure of the whole body, if there was no skeleton, humans would simply be muscle and be limb on the floor. Skeleton provides humans with a structure of up right and provides movement. For protection the body has such features such as our cranium- skull and our rib cage protecting human vital organs.

  5. Support:Bones and cartilage that make up the skeleton are the only rigid materials in the body. The 206 bones of the skeleton provide a framework and points of attachment for many of the soft tissues of the body.

    Protection:protect some of the vital tissues and functional organs of the body. Typical examples are:•Skull - protects the brain
    •Vertebrae - protects the spinal cord
    •Thoracic cage - protects the heart and lungs

    The muscles combine with the skeleton in providing motion we must look at the basic mechanics of movement. The main framework of the body is covered by muscle, whose function is to permit movement.

  6. Skeletons can be divided into two main types based on the relative position of the skeletal tissues.joints allow movement between bones and these movements are directly related to the type of joint and range of motion. The skeletal muscles are the only voluntary muscles of your body, and make up what we call the muscular system.

  7. Bones can act as levers in movement.It provide structures then muscles are attached.Joints provide movement between bones and the movements of the bone are directly related to the type of joint and the range of motion. Joints has three categoris; fibrous or Synarthroses , Slightly moveable or Amphiarthroses and Freely movable or Diarthroses.

    Movable joints are comprises of four groups:Ball
    -Socket,
    -Hinge,
    -Pivot,
    -Gliding

  8. The bones of the skeleton provide a framework and points of attachment for many of the soft tissues of the body. The four types of joints are ball and socket, pivot, gliding and hinge. All these joints have a different range of motion. Bones act as levers during movement, they are also connected to muscles via tendons.

  9. the skeletal system has joints thet help them move along with the muscles. the muscles are stretchable. the skeletal system has a major bone called the spinal cord. it controls most of all movement. if you injure a part of the spinal cord, you will never walk agian. the bone are very important for support because with out the support of the bone we would just be laying there with no structure and nothing to hold us up. the bones are important for protecting because they protect the internal organs.( heart, lungs, liver ect.) without the bones anything would just be able to damage our internal organs.

  10. The skeleton determines your form. Its bony framework affords a scaffold upon which the muscles work, providing many levers for movement. It houses and protects important organs. It serves as a storage place for minerals, and within its narrow cavities are factories for making red and white corpuscles. By weight the skeleton makes up about l8 per cent of your body.Important organs like the skull, thorax, and spine are protected by bones.A cage is formed by the bones of the chest to protect the heart and lungs. It expands and contracts as you breathe. The sternum, or breastbone, is a flat bone in the middle and front of the chest and serves as an anchor for the ribs and muscles that help in breathing. It also protects the heart.The pelvis or bones of the hip, form a strong ring that balances the weight of the body on the legs. It serves as protection for most of the abdominal organs, especially the reproductive organs. Joints are the place at which two bones meet with varied construction to move or to prevent movement. These joints are crossed by ligaments and tendons. Ligaments are thick cords of white fibers that bind bones of one other. Tendons are bands of white fibers that connect muscles to bones. They are both made of collagen .There are three kinds of joints: freely movable joints, partially movable joints, and immovable joints. Most joints are freely movable. Of the freely movable joints there are four kinds. The free moving joints consist of the hinger joint, the pivot joint, the gliding joint, and the ball-and-socket joint. The elbow and the knee joints are examples of hinge joints. The two bones in the forearm meet to form a pivot joint. Gliding joints allow bones to slide over one another. A ball-and-socket joint is formed when the ball-shaped end of one bone fits into a cup-shaped section of the bone joining it.

  11. It prvides support and protection for the tissue because it forms the supporting and connecting structures of the body.Without your skeletal frame, you would be unable to move and the tissue wouldnt have anything to connect to.The skeletal structure function together with the muscular system to make movements possible because the muscular system supports and protects skeletal bones just like the skeletal bones support and protect the internal organs along with the muscular system. Tendons connect muscles to bone and ligaments connect bones to bones.

  12. The skeletal system provides protection and storage for tissue. By using connective tissue.Each bone is covered with a rough, fibrous membrane called the periosteum that carries a supply of blood vessels and nerves. Bones act as levers during movement, they are also connected to muscles via tendons.Joints provide movement between bones and the movements of the bone are directly related to the type of joint and the range of motion.

  13. support and protection plays a major role in movement. supportis from the framework of the body.Also it supports softer tissue. The movable joints are ball and socket, hinge,pivot, and gliding.Proctection of the organs. its reduces injury. for example it protects the brain and heart. the muscles are attached to the bones. its store minerals. producer of blood cells. stores chemical energy. tendons hold yhe attached muscles to the bone.

  14. Bones provide support and protection to tissues because some form cages around some areas like our lungs and brain so therefore if we fall we our organs wont get puntured and cause immediate emergency and it supports it by helping to form cells so that more healthy tissues can work in the body....the muscular system works with the skeletal sytem to allow movement by working with the joints and the muscular system gives us strength to be able to move the joints!

  15. Skull: which protects the brain, vertebrae: which protects the spinal cord, and the thoracic cage: which protects the heart and lungs are important structures that protects some of the tissues and organs of the body.

    To understand how the muscles combine with the skeleton in providing motion we must look at the basic mechanics of movement. The main framework of the body is covered by muscle, whose function is to permit movement. We know that to move or lift a load against another force, it is easier to use levers, and it is this principle which the musculoskeletal system adopts and which we must examine.

  16. The bodily system that consists of the bones, their associated cartilages, and the joints, and supports and protects the body, produces blood cells, and stores minerals.

    Bones provide support and protection to tissues because some form cages around some areas like our lungs and brain so therefore if we fall our organs will not get hurt and cause immediate emergency and it supports it by helping to form cells so that more healthy tissues can work in the body.

    The bones and makes up the skeleton are only rigid materials in the body. There is 206 bones of the skeleton that provides framework and points of attachment for many of the soft tissues of the body.These structures protect some of the vital tissues and functional organs of the body. And the typical example is the skull which protects the brain and the vertebrae protects the spinal cord along with the thoracic cage protects the heart and lungs.

  18. the skeletal system is composed of many different bones. a bone is made mostly of collagen, bone is a living, growing tissue. Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the bone. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible enough to withstand stress. More than 99 percent of the body's calcium is contained in the bones and teeth.

  19. Support
    The main job of the skeleton is to provide support for our body. Without your skeleton your body would collapse into a heap. Your skeleton is strong but light. Without bones you'd be just a puddle of skin and guts on the floor.

    Protection
    Your skeleton also helps protect your internal organs and fragile body tissues. The brain, eyes, heart, lungs and spinal cord are all protected by your skeleton. Your cranium (skull) protects your brain and eyes, the ribs protect your heart and lungs and your vertebrae (spine, backbones) protect your spinal cord.

    Movement
    Bones provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move. Tendons are tough inelastic bands that hold attach muscle to bone.

  20. The bones that make up your skeleton are made of living tissue in the form of modified connective tissue, and contain both organic and inorganic substances. As you age the relative proportions of organic to inorganic substances will vary. As you age you have relatively more organic material in your bones, therefore they are softer and can be bent some without breaking. As you age your bones take in more minerals and become stiff and brittle. More of your bone cells are unable to obtain nourishment by the surrounding minerals and die.


    The outer part of a bone is hard and is called compact bone. The inside of the bone is called spongy bone as there are bony plates that are arranged in a sort of network. The spaces within the spongy bone are filled with marrow. Marrow during prenatal and infancy is all red then later it is replaced by yellow marrow that is mostly fat. Since only the red marrow forms red corpuscles the production of the latter is restricted.


    Bone is living tissue so it must be nourished. Each bone is covered with a rough, fibrous membrane called the periosteum that carries a supply of blood vessels and nerves. As the bone is growing the inner layer of the periostium has many bone forming cells. This causes the capacity of the membrane to produce new bone for replacement and for knitting broken bones. The blood vessels are carried into the interior of bone by extensions of connective tissue thorough small canals. As you age, the blood vessels become smaller and less numerous. When you are young you need special nourishment for your growing bones and when older you need to have a healthy diet to keep your bones healthy.

    Bones act as levers during movement and provide solid structures to which muscles are attached. The joints allow movement between bones and these movements are directly related to the type of joint and range of motion. Joints fall into one of three categories: Fixed fibrous or Synarthroses (e.g. bones of the skull), Slightly moveable or Amphiarthroses (e.g. symphysis pubis) and Freely movable or Diarthroses.

  22. The bones of the skeleton provide a framework and points of attachment for many of the soft tissues of the body. The spinal cord helps all movement throughout the body. Skeletal muscle provide protection for the tissues of the body. The skeletons help to form the body shape without the skeletons the body wouldnt be nothing.

    In some bones, there is red marrow which produces red blood cells, some white cells and platelets. Minerals, especially calcium and phosphorous are also stored in bones and can be distributed to other parts of the body.
