The Skeletal System
1. The skeletal system provides shape and form to support our bodies and protect them, allows movement, and stores minerals.
2.??
3. Ligaments
4. 206 bones
5. The skeletal system works with the muscular system to help our body move. Muscles cause the joint that is connecting two bones together to move and they contract to pull them together.

The Skeletal System
1. Babies are born with more cartilage and bones than adults. The bones fuse together and a lot of the cartilage become bones.
2. If we did not have bones we would not have any structure or support. We would be invertebraes much like a jellyfish.
3. Bones are alive because they grow and develop as babies grow older and go through ossification.
4. 14 facial bones

JOINTS
1. We have about 103 joints in our bodies.
2.The elbow
3. the skull
4.The shoulder

INSIDE A BONE
1. Two types of bones are long bones and short bones. Long bones are working levers that are longer than they are wide. Short bones are short, cube-shaped bones found in the wrists and ankles.

2. Bone marrow is at the center of each bone that produces blood cells. Blood vessels provide food,oxygen, and minerals for the bone.

THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN
1. Intervertebral discs are in between each vertebrae that act as shock absorbers and allow movement for the back.
2.Humans have 33 vertebrae.
3.??
4. cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae

THE RIBS
1.Most humans have 12 pairs of ribs.
2. True ribs connect the ribs to the sternum.
3. The ribs form a cage that enlcose the upper body, which protects vital organs such as the heart,lungs, and also parts of the stomach, spleen, and kidneys.

LOWER EXTREMITIES
1.26 bones
2. The tarsal bones are in the ankle.
3. The metatarsals and phalanges are related to the location of the toes.
4. The arch in your foot supports your foot in a steady position.
5.The femur is the longest and largest bone in the human body.

UPPER EXTREMITIES
1. 27 bones
2. The humerus, ulna, and radius.

THE BONE ZONE
1. The patella

The Skeletal System
1. (1) Vital Organs are protected by the skeletal system. (2) Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. (3) Blood cells are produced in the marrow located in some bones.
2. Bones are surrounded by muscles, ligaments and tendons that help the bones not rub against each other.
3. They are connected by ligaments.
4. There are 206 bones in our body.
5. Our bones move because of the interaction between bones and muscles that contract and pull by the help of ligaments, tendons and joints.

The Skeletal System
1. Babies are born with more bones because of the amount of cartilage they are born with that eventually fuse together to form the number of adult bones.
2. Bones is what supports the body and keeps everything in place. If we didn't have bones our body would not be upright and be supported.
3. They are alive because they go through ossification to make the bones harder and longer which means they grow and are alive.
4. 14 facial bones and 8 cranial bones.

Joints
1. 360 joints.
2. Elbow, Knee, Ankle and finger joints.
3. A skull plate.
4. Shoulder and Hip joints.

Inside A Bone
1. Compact and Cancellate.
2. Bone Marrow is at the center of the bone. The purpose is to produce blood cells for the body.

The Vertebral Column
1. Intervertebral discs are in between each vertebrae. Its purpose is to allow the back to move and acts as shock absorbers.
2. 33 Vertebrae
3. It is different because it allows humans to stand upright and maintain their balance. It benefits in supporting the head and arms, permitting freedom of movement. Provides attachment for many muscles, the ribs and protects the spinal cord that controls most bodily functions.
4. (1) Cervical Vertebrae (2) Thoracic Vertebrae (3) Lumbar Vertebrae

The Ribs
1. 24 bones arranged in 12 pairs.
2. They are connected by strips of cartilage called costal cartilage.
3. Protects the heart and lungs from injury and shocks that might damage them. Protects the stomach, spleen and kidneys. They help you breathe.

Lower Extremities
1. 26 bones.
2. The tarsal bones are found in the foot (ankle)
3. They are found in the foot.
4. It helps maintain the weight of your body. The arches give when weight is placed on the foot and spring back when the weight is lifted.
5. The femur is the longest and largest bone in the body.

Upper Extremities
1. 27 bones.
2. Humerus, Ulna, and Radius

The Skeletal System
1. 3 Purposes of the skeletal system are: To protect vital organs, its 206 bones form a rigid framework where softer tissues and organs of the body are attached, and blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones.
2. Tendons, ligaments, and joints keep bones from scratching and bumping when we move
3. A tendon is a long stretchy band that holds our bones together.
4. There are 206 bones in the human body.
5. Body movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons, bones are connected together by ligaments, and where bones meet one another is called a joint. Muscles that cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract and pull them together.

The Skeletal System
1. Babies are born with a large amount of cartilage, and more bones with adults. These bones eventually fuse together to form the normal number of adult bones.
2. You would be like a blob if you didn't have bones
3.Yes, bones are alive because they are living tissues, and as bone tissue is formed, the bones grow longer.
4. There are 14 bones in your face.

Joints
1. There are 230 joints in your body.
2. The elbow is a hinged joint.
3. Between bones in the skull are fixed joints, and so are the skull plates.
4. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint.

2. Bone marrow is at the center of the bone and produces cells for the body.

The Vertebral Column(Spine)
1. In between each vertebrae are intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers which allows the back to move.
2. Humans have 33 vertebrae.
3. The human spine allows us to stand up-right.
4. The three types of vertebrae are cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae.

The Ribs
1. Most humans have 12 pairs of ribs.
2. Ribs are connected directly to the sternum by strips of cartilage called costal cartilage.
3. The ribcage protects the heart and lungs from injuries and shocks that might damage them.

5. The longest bone in the body is the femur.

Upper Extremities
1. There are 27 bones in your hand.
2. The humerus, unla, and the radius are the 3 bones that make up your arm.

The Bone Zone
1. The knee bone is called the patella.

The Virtual Body
2. The femur bone is located in upper part of the leg(thigh).
3. The fibula is located in the lower part of the leg.
4. The patella is the knee cap, and is located in the leg.
5. The tibia is located in the lower part of the leg next to the fibula.
6. The humerus is located in the upper arm.
7. The scapula is located on the upper back and next to the shoulder and is one of the bones of the arm.
8. The clavicle is located on top of the scapula and is connected to the shoulder and is one of the bones of the arm.
9. The radius is located on the outer part of the lower arm.
10. The ulna is located on the inner part of the lower arm.
11. The sternum is located in between all of the ribs, and is where all the ribs connect to it, this is one of the bones of the thorax.
12. The ribs are located in the middle of the body and are connected to the sternum and are some of the bones of the thorax.

2. It is the first part of the leg bone.
3. It is the second part of the leg bone that connects to the femur.
4. It is where the knee is. It connects the femur and fibula.
5. It is a part of the second leg bone under the patella.
6. It is part of the arm right above the radius.
7. It is the bone where the shoulders are.
8. IT is right about the scapula.
9. It is the second bone of the arm connected to the humerous.
