A. Support C.

Movement
1. bearing weight - tendons to skeletal muscles to contraction to producing body
movements
a. foot bones - Joints: between bones
- Calcaneum: bone found in the heel of the foot, the - Smooth cartilage: allows bone to move freely
calcaneus often experiences stress fractures because - Ligaments: prevent excessive movements
of high-impact activities D. Storage
b. Lower Spine - Phosphorous: used for growth and repair of body cells and
- Lumbar region of the Vertebrae and Sacrum: support tissues
the entire upper structure of the human body when - together with calcium, phosphorus provides structure and
standing upright and walking strength.
- Lipids: source of energy
c. Tibia
E. Blood Cell Production
- also known as the shin bone, connects the knee to
the ankle joint. - 2.5 million RBC are destroyed every second
- Stimulated by low blood oxygen levels
2. cartilage - Cause of low blood oxygen:
 decreased number of RBC
- not as rigid or as hard as bone, and it is also less flexible
than muscle  Decreased/defective hemoglobin
 Diseases of the lungs
- places where we need some support and structure, but a bit  High altitude
of flexibility as well.  Endurance exercise
- Erythropoietin: stimulates the re bone marrow to
3. ligaments
produce more RBC
- strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to - Increase in number of RBC = Increase in the ability of the
bones and hold them together blood to transport oxygen
- This mechanism returns blood oxygen levels to normal and
B. Protection maintain homeostasis by increasing the delivery of oxygen
- skull: brain to tissues.

- vertebrae: spinal cord

- rib cage: heart, lungs, organs of the thorax
