    The skeletal system consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints that work together to support the body, allow for movement, and protect organs. Key parts include bones, which have an outer periosteum and either compact or spongy inner layers. Cartilage, such as articular and meniscal cartilage, cushions joints. The main types of joints are sutures, cartilages, and synovial joints, which include ball-and-socket and hinge joints. Synovial joints contain ligaments, synovial membranes that secrete lubricating fluid, and sometimes bursae to reduce friction during movement.

    Functions of the skeletal system


    Framework
    Support and protect the internal organs
    Movement
    Calcium
    Red bone marrow

    Structures of the Skeletal


    System
    Bones
    Cartilage
    Ligaments
    Joints
    Bursa (cushion that helps movement at a
    joint)

    Tissues of bone
    Periosteum- the tough fibrous tissue that
    forms the outermost covering of bone
    Compact bone- hard, dense and very strong
    bone that is in the outer layer
    Spongy bone- lighter with many open
    spaces, usually found in the inner portion of
    the bone
    Medullary cavity- located inside the shaft of
    a long bone
    Endosteum - tissue that forms the lining of
    the medullary cavity

    Anatomic features of bone

    Cartilage
    * Smooth, rubbery, blue-white connective
    tissue that acts as a shock absorber
    between bones

    Types of cartilage
    Articular cartilage - covers the surface of
    the bone where the joint is formed
    Meniscus - fibrous cartilage, usually has a
    curved shape

    meniscus

    Meniscus tear

    Joints
    Also known as articulations
    Basically point at which two bones connect
    or meet

    Types of joints
    Sutures
    Cartilage joints
    Synovial joints

    Types of joints

    Suture- (immovable joint) bones meet at a


    jagged line to form a joint that doesnt
    move
    (ex. Skull)

    Types of joints

    Synovial joint
    these are the movable joints of the body
    Two types
    Ball and socket joint example??
    Hinge joint example??

    Structure of synovial joints

    Ligament band of fibrous tissue that


    connects one bone to another bone

    Ligament of the knee

    Synovial membrane/fluid

    Bursa- this is a fibrous sac that contains the


    membrane and synovial fluid
    Acts as a cushion to help movement in areas that
    could have increased friction
    Ex. shoulder, elbow, kneeplaces that tendon
    passes over a bone

    Bursa
