musculo-skeletal system
bones
head/neck – cranium and vertebrae
• shoulder – scapula and humerus :
chest – ribs and sternum
elbow – humerus, radius and ulna
hip – pelvis and femur
ankle – tibia, fibula and talus
knee – femur and tibia (students should
also know that the patella sits in front of
the knee joint)
Structure of the skeleton
the skeletal system allows movement at a
joint
flat bones for protection of vital organs
the different joint types allow different
types of movement
long bones enable gross movement)
bones enable finer controlled movements/
determine the amount of movement (short
the shape and type of the bones
Functions of the skeleton
support
protection of vital organs by flat bones
blood cell production
movement
structural shape and points for attachment
mineral storage
