1  There are 206 bones in an adult human.  The human skeleton is divided into two parts  Axial; includes skull ribs and vertebral column  Appendicular; includes arms legs shoulders pelvis Skeletal System

2  supports the body.  protects internal organs.  provides for movement.  stores mineral reserves.  provides a site for blood cell formation  provides a site for blood cell formation. Functions:

3 Bones are a solid network of living cells and protein fibers that are surrounded by deposits of calcium salts. Skeletal System

4 Osteocytes Osteocytes, mature bone cells, which are embedded in the bone matrix.  Other bone cells  Osteoclasts, break down bone.  Osteoblasts, produce bone. Skeletal System

5  Bone marrow is a soft tissue inside the cavities within bones. There are two types  Yellow marrow is made up of fat cells.  Red marrow produces red blood cells, platelets, and some white blood cells. Skeletal System

6 The function of the muscular system is movement. Function of the Muscular System

7 There are three different types of muscle tissue: Skeletal Smooth Cardiac

8 Skeletal muscles generally remain in a state of partial contraction called resting muscle tone. Muscle tone is responsible for keeping the back and legs straight and the head upright, even when you are relaxed.  are usually attached to bones.  are responsible for voluntary movements.  are sometimes called striated muscles. Skeletal Muscles:

9 Smooth muscles:  are usually not under voluntary control.  are spindle-shaped.  are not striated.  are found in many internal organs and blood vessels.

10 Cardiac muscle:  is only found in the heart.  is striated.
