• BONES
• TYPES OF JOINTS
What is skeletal system

• The skeletal system is the framework of


bones that supports and shapes the body.
It protects important organs, helps us
move, produces blood cells, and stores
minerals like calcium.
• The human body has 206 bones that work
together with muscles to allow movement
and keep us standing upright.
Major Organs of the
Skeletal System
Skull Clavicle
Ribs Humerus
Radius Ulna
Femur Tibia
Fibula Pelvic
Spine
• Protection
• Storage
• Movement
• Blood Cell Formation
Protection
• Your heart and lungs are shielded by
your ribs

• Your spinal cord is protected by


your vertebrae

Your brain is protected


Storage
• Bones store minerals that help the
nerves and muscles function
properly

• Your arm and leg bones also store


fat that can be used for energy
Movement
• Skeletal muscles pull on the
bones to produce movement

• Without bones, you would


not be able to sit, stand,
walk, or run
Blood Cell
Formation
• Some of your bones
are filled with a
special material that
makes blood cells
• A bone may seem lifeless, but it is
a living organ made of several
different tissues.
• Bone is composed of connective
tissue and minerals that are
deposited by living cells called
osteoblasts.
Growing
Bones
• Most bones start out as a soft, flexible
tissue called cartilage
• When you were born, you had little true
bone
• As you grow, the cartilage is replaced by
bone
• During childhood, growth plated of
cartilage remain in most bones, providing
a place for those bones to continue to
grow.
• The place where two or more bones
connect is called a joint
• Some joints allow a lot of movement, while
other joints are fixed.
• Joints that have a wide range of
movement tend to be more susceptible to
injury that those that are less flexible.
Types of Joints
Ball-and-Socket Joint
It is a type of a joint that moves in all direction.
example Shoulder and Hip Joint.
Hinge Joint
It is a joint that moves back and forth.
Example: Knee and shoulder Joint
Ball-and-
Socket Joint
Hinge Joint
Ligament:
• Joints are kept together with strong elastic
bands of connective tissue called ligaments.
• A strained ligament will usually heal with time,
but a torn ligament will not.
