SKELETAL SYSTEM BONES CAN BE CLASSSIFIED INTO 5

TYPES BASED ON SHAPE

 FUNCTION OF SKELETAL SYSTEM
1. LONG BONE- ex. Femur (legs)
1. SUPPORT 2. SHORT BONE-
- to provide support and the hard framework that 3. FLAT BONE-Thorax (middle part of body),
support soft organs of our body. Sternum, Scapula (shoulder blade)
4. IRREGULAR- deformation. Ex. Spinal
2. PROTECTION cord(vertebrae’s)
5. SESAMOID-connected with ligaments &
- to protect the main part of our system (BRAIN
joints: ex. Patella (kneecap)
AND SPINAL CORD).
3. MOVEMENT
-our bones are attached with muscle and it is the
way to create a movement and action.
-foundation, shape and forms of body
4. STORAGE
- it involves minerals and lipids
o MINERALS- our bones are rich in
calcium and phosphorus; it will
strengthen the bones to have a
foundation and form our body and this
causes blood production or blood cell
formation.
o LIPIDS- fatty compound, absorb the
vitamins and also it is the one who store
the energy that come from our body.
5. BLOOD CELL FROMATION
- bone marrow is the one that is responsible for “CRANIUM BONES”
blood cell formation.
