In this lesson, you will learn to
explain the functions of the skeletal system. identify four types of joints. list some problems of the skeletal system.
5
Your Body’s Framework The skeletal system helps you stand up and works with your muscles to help you walk, run, jump, bend, lift, and carry. skeletal system A body system made up of bones, joints, and connective tissue When a tall building is constructed, the steel beams go up first. Without this framework, the building could not stand. The same is true of your skeletal system.
6
The skeletal system includes many bones that support the body and protect the organs.
7
The backbone, or spinal column, consists of 24 separate bones called vertebrae.
The vertebrae enables you to bend your back in several directions. The spinal column forms curves, as shown in this side view.

Functions of Your Skeletal System
Skeletal System Functions The skeletal system provides a strong, stable framework capable of movement. The skeletal system supports and protects delicate internal organs. The 206 bones that make up your skeleton are living structures. Bones store important minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Bones produce the body’s blood cells.

Joints Some joints do not move. Others move only slightly, and others allow a wide range of movement. joint The point at which two bones meet An example of joints that do not move are the ones between the bones of the skull.
11
Ball-and-Socket Joints
Hinge Joints Gliding Joints Types of Mobile Joints Mobile joints allow a wide range of movement. Hinge joints: These joints allow movement in one direction. Knees and elbows are hinge joints. Gliding joints: Gliding joints help bones slide over one another without twisting. Examples include wrist and ankle joints, and connective bones below the neck in the collarbone. Pivot joints: These joints allow movement with limited rotation. A pivot joint is found between the neck and the head. Ball-and-socket joints: These joints allow complete rotations, making it possible for bones to move in all directions. Your hips and shoulders are examples of ball-and-socket joints.

12
Types of Joints Fixed joint Pivot Joint Allows little movement:
Ex. joints of the bones in your skull Pivot Joint One bone rotates around another bone: Ex. turning your head; rotating your wrist © 2014 Getting Nerdy, LLC
13
Ball-and-socket joint
The ball end of one bone fits into a cuplike cavity on another bone. Ex: Shoulder or hip joint Hinge joint Back and forth These joints allow movement in one direction. Ex: knee or elbow joint

One part of a bone slides over another bone.

15
Connective Tissue At joints where movement occurs, the bone surfaces are coated with smooth, slippery cartilage. cartilage A strong flexible, gel-like tissue that cushions your joints Cartilage reduces friction during movement and is especially important in your shoulders, elbows, and knees.
16
Tendons are another type of connective tissue.
tendons Tough bands of tissue that attach your muscles to bones Your Achilles tendon is located on the back of your leg just above your heel. A large tendon that you can easily feel is your Achilles tendon.
17
Ligaments help hold bones in place.

Problems of the Skeletal System
Skeletal Problem Description Fracture A break in the bone caused by an injury Dislocation When a bone is pushed out of its joint Sprain Stretching or twisting of ligaments in a joint Overuse Injury An injury that happens over time, especially in sports Scoliosis A disorder in which the spine curves to one side of the body Osteoporosis A condition characterized by brittle bones Injuries, infections, poor posture, and a lack of nutritious foods can cause some of the following problems in the skeletal system. Fracture: Results in swelling and sometimes extreme pain Dislocation: This injury can cause extreme pain, and usually occurs when stretching or tearing a ligament. Sprain: Can be treated using the P.R.I.C.E. formula. Overuse injury: A shin splint, common among runners and aggressive walkers, is an example of an overuse injury. Scoliosis: The spine appears to have a slight S- or C-shaped curve. It is usually painless, but can cause back pain and difficulty breathing. In most cases the cause is unknown. Osteoporosis: Develops because of long-term calcium and hormone deficiencies, insufficient vitamin D, and lack of exercise.

What I Learned Vocabulary What are joints? Name four types.
Lesson 1 Review What I Learned Vocabulary What are joints? Name four types. the point at which two bones meet; hinge, gliding, pivot, ball-and-socket
20
What I Learned List Name three functions of the skeletal system.
Lesson 1 Review What I Learned List Name three functions of the skeletal system. Any three: support body, allow movement, protect internal organs, produce blood cells, store minerals
21
What I Learned Identify What are two problems of the skeletal system?
Lesson 1 Review What I Learned Identify What are two problems of the skeletal system? Any two: fractures, torn ligaments, overuse injuries, dislocations, back injuries, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis
