•The body is made up of 2

different frame works.

• Axial- which provides
protection.
•Appendicular - which helps
create movement
•The body Contains 206 bones
•Protects body’s organs
•Supports the body
• Red blood cells  Blood cells are produced by the
marrow located in some bones. An average of 2.6 million red
blood cells are produced each second by the bone marrow to
replace those worn out and destroyed by the liver.

• Store of minerals  Bones serve as a storage

area for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. When an
excess is present in the blood, build up will occur within the
bones. When the supply of these minerals within the blood is
low, it will be withdrawn from the bones to replenish the
supply.

Skeletal muscle is also known as

striped muscle because of it
stripped appearance under a
microscope
