11. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Irregular bones protect. For example, the patella stops hyperextension at the knee and provides movement-based stability. Bones 11 Patella

12. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Task 1 Using the illustrations on the next slide, decide for yourself which are long bones, short bones, irregular bones and flat bones. Bones 12

They are placed in five groups according to where they are along the vertebral column. When players land from a jump it is the vertebrae that help reduce the shock on their feet Bones 14

15. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Cervical vertebrae (7) allow different movements at the top of the spine. The top two vertebrae are called the atlas and the axis. Bones 15

16. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Cervical thoracic vertebrae (12): Ten of these are attached to the ribs and help movement when breathing. Bones 16

17. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Lumbar vertebrae (5) are the most robust as they take a lot of weight. They are large because they are in the area that allows the most movement. Bones 17

18. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Sacrum (5) become fused together in adulthood. They make up part of the pelvic girdle. Bones 18 The vertebrae of the coccyx (4) are all fused together.

19. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system All the vertebrae fit together neatly to protect the spinal cord, which is the main method of nerve impulse transmission from the brain to the muscles. This is an important job as any damage to the cord can cause paralysis. Bones 19

20. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system In between the vertebrae there are cartilage discs. These help stop damage, wear and tear and grinding down of the vertebrae through constant movement. Bones 20

21. © Folens 2009 FOR EDEXCEL 1.2.5 A healthy, active lifestyle and your skeletal system Task 2 1.In pairs or a group of three, write down all the main bones of the body on cue cards. 2.In your pair or group, put together a labelled skeleton showing the main bones of the body. Bones 21
