    The skeletal system provides structure and protection to the body. It is composed of bone, cartilage, and connective tissues. There are two types of ossification that form bone - intramembranous and endochondral ossification. The skeletal system is divided into the axial skeleton which includes the skull, vertebral column, and ribs, and the appendicular skeleton comprising the pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, and lower limbs. Joints allow for movement between bones. Male skeletons tend to be larger than females and have differences in pelvic structure related to childbirth.

    SKELETAL SYSTEM

    A. FUNCTIONS
    • It provides supporting
    frameworks of body
    • It protects some viscera, brain,
    spinal cord, sense organs, and
    the hemopoeitic system
    • It provides lever for muscle
    • It is Hemopoesis
    • It has storage of mineral like
    calcium and phosphorus
    B. COMPOSITION:
    1. Cartilage

    2. Bone

    3.

    Formation:
    1. Intramembranous ossification
    • fibrous membranes of some part of fetal
    skeleton are converted to bone.
    Ex. Some skull bone, clavicle, and lower jaw
    2. Endochondral ossification
    - conversion of cartilage into bone.
    Ex. Most bones of the skeletal system
    C. DIVISIONS OF THE ENDO
    SKELETON (HUMAN)

    I. AXIAL DIVISIONA. SkullB. Hyoid


    Bone
    C. Vertebral Colum
    D. RibsE. Sternum
    II. APPENDICULAR

    A. Pectoral Girdle
    B. Upper Extremity Bones
    C. Pelvic Girdle (or Coxae)
    D. Lower Extremity Bone
    D. JOINTS
    E. COMPARISON OF MALE AND
    FEMALE SKELETON
    1. The male skeleton is larger and
    heavier than female skeleton
    2. The male pelvis is deep and funnel
    shaped with narrow public arch;
    female with wider and flaring pubic
    arch, female pelvis is shallow and
    broad.
