Introductory Message
 For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Physical and Personal Development in the Arts (Grade 11)
Module on The Anatomy of an Artist: Skeletal System!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed, and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Physical and Personal Development in the Arts Module on

The Anatomy of an Artist: Skeletal System!
 This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an
active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - These point to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the lesson

at hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of concepts

and skills that you already know about a previous lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module. 

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to perform.

Wrap-Up - This section summarizes the concepts and

application of the lesson.

Valuing - This part integrates a desirable moral value in the

lesson.

Posttest - This measure how much you have learned from the
entire module.
 EXPECTATIONS

By the end of the lesson, the learner is expected to achieve the following learning
competencies:

 LESSON

“The human body is the best work of art.”

-Jess C. Scott

The Anatomy of an Artist: Skeletal System

The Skeletal System includes all the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a
complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals.
The skeleton acts as a scaffold by providing support and protection for the soft
tissues that make up the rest of the body. The skeletal system also provides
attachment points for muscles to allow movements at the joints.
The Skeletal System in an adult body is made up of 206 individual bones. These
bones are arranged into two major divisions: the axial skeleton and the
appendicular skeleton.
The Axial Skeleton runs along the body’s midline axis and is made up of 80 bones
in the following regions: Skull, Hyoid, Auditory Ossicles, Ribs, Sternum, Vertebral
Column.
The Appendicular Skeleton is made up of 126 bones in the following regions:
upper limb, lower limbs, Pelvic Girdle, Pectoral (shoulder) Girdle.

Parts of the Skeletal System

The Skull is composed of 22 bones that are fused together except for the mandible
(the only movable
joint in the skull).
Bones of the superior
portion of the skull
are known as the
cranium and protect
the brain from
damage. Bones of the
inferior and anterior
portion of the skull
are known as facial bones and support the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Vertebral column encloses and protects the spinal cord within the spinal canal,
carries the weight of the body above the pelvis, and forms the central axis of the
body.
The Sternum, AKA the breastbone, connects to the ribs by thin bands of cartilage
called the costal cartilage.
The Pectoral Girdle consists of the left and right clavicles and left and right
scapulae. This connects the upper limb bones to the axial skeleton.
Humerus is the bone of the upper arm. It forms a joint with the scapula and forms
the elbow joint with the inferior arm bones.
Ulna is the bone on the median side of the forearm and forms a hinge joint with the
humerus at the elbow.
Radius is one of the two inferior arm bones which allows the forearm and hand to
turn over at the wrist joint.
Carpus pertains to the wrist bones, while Metacarpus are the hand bones, and
Phalanges are finger and toe bones.
Pelvic Girdle is formed by the left and right hip bones which connects the lower
limb bones to the axial skeleton.
Femur is the largest bone in the body and the only bone of the thigh.
Patella is the kneecap.
Fibula acts as an attachment to muscles and provides stability to the ankle.
Tibia, AKA shin bone, distributes weight from knee to ankle.

Poor Posture & Its Effects on The Body

Posture is defined as “the relative position of the body at any one period of time”.
Correct posture or neutral posture is a position in which minimal stress is applied
to the body’s muscles, tissues, joints, and ligaments, providing the most energy
efficient movement.
The central nervous system (CNS) begins to make musculoskeletal adaptations to
the postures and movements performed most often. These muscular imbalances
cause some muscles to be in a constant state of contraction while other, opposing
muscles remain weak and overstretched, which leads to pain.

Importance of Posture
Strong posture starts with self-awareness of your body. Start by looking at yourself
in a full-length mirror. From the feet up, your feet should be shoulder width apart,
knees slightly bent, pelvis over your legs. Torso, which includes the shoulders,
should be over your pelvis. Head level and over your torso, with eyes forward.
Think of a string attached to the top of your head and it is being pulled up to the
ceiling. Feel your spine elongate. Stand tall and strong.
Now, we are going to start with the basics and build from there. We will not make
major changes but rather fine tuning what you already have. Even small fine-
tuning adjustments can affect major postural improvements resulting in better
balance and posture.
To be great performer, we must have balance and proper functional motion in
addition to strength and flexibility to perform the powerful, yet graceful movements.

ACTIVITY
Activity 1
Take photos of yourself demonstrating the correct and 4 wrong postures in figure 2.
Attach the photos below.

Activity 2
Write an essay with at least 100 words about how you can take care of your bones.
