Body Regions
SKELETAL SYSTEM
A. Support – The skeletal system provides support for the entire body. Induvial bones provide
framework for the attachment of soft tissues and organs.
B. Storage of Minerals and Lipids -Mineral are inorganic ions that contribute to the osmotic
concentration of body fluids. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body.
C. Blood cell Production – Red and white blood cells and other blood elements and produced in red
bone marrow.
E. Protection - Many bones function as levers that can change the magnitude and direction of the
forces generated by skeletal muscles.
SKELETAL MUSCLE
A. Parallel Muscle – Most of the skeletal muscles are
parallel. The fascicles are Parallel to the long axis of
muscle.
B. Convergent Muscle – Muscle Fascicles extending
over a broad area come together or converge
C. Pennate Muscle – Form a common angle with the
tendon. Contracting Pennate muscles do not move
their tendons as far as parallel muscles do.
D. Circular Muscle / Sphincter – Concentrically
arrange around an opening. When contracts, the
diameter of the opening becomes smaller.
