    The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilages, ligaments, and tendons that work together to provide structure, movement, protection, blood cell production, and mineral storage for the human body. There are 206 bones in an adult skeleton that are classified as long, short, flat, or irregular depending on their shape. Joints like the ball-and-socket shoulder allow bones to connect and move. Other tissues include cartilage that cushions joints, ligaments that connect bones, and tendons that attach muscles to bones.

    PARTS OF THE SKELETAL

    • Bones

    • Cartilages
    • Ligaments
    • Tendons
    INTRODUCTION

    •The Skeletal system is the body system which composes of bones,


    cartilages, ligaments and other tissues that reform essential
    functions for the human body.

    •There are 206 bones in an adult skeleton and 300 bones in a baby
    skeleton.

    •Each arm and hand together have 30 bones and each leg and foot
    together have 29 bones.
    FUNCTION

    • Gives the body its shape


    • Allows movement
    • Makes blood cells
    • Provides protection for organs
    • Stores minerals
    BONES
    Bone is living tissue that makes up the
    body's skeleton. There are 3 types of
    bone tissue, including the following:
    Compact tissue. The harder, outer tissue
    of bones.
    Bones are classified by their shape
    . Long
    . Short
    . Flat
    . Irregular
    CLASSIFICATIONS OF BONES
    Flat Bones
    Long Bones • Thin and Flattened
    • Typically longer than wide • Usually curved
    • Have shafts with heads at both • Thin layers of compact bone around
    ends a layer of spongy bone
    • Contains mostly compact bone • Examples: Skull, Ribs, Sternum
    • Example :Femur, Humerus

    Short Bones Irregular Bones


    • Generally cube-shape • Irregular Shape
    • Contain mostly spongy bone • Do not fit into other bone
    • Examples: Carpals, tarsals classification categories
    • Examples: Vertebrae and hip
    JOINTS

    ( A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow
    movement. ).
    There are 3 types of joints:
    • Hinge Joint (Move forward and backwords like the hinge of a door eg. Elbow/knee
    B
    • Ball and Socket Joint (Moves 360 eg. Shoulder/hip bone)
    • Skull Joint (Doesn’t allow movement at all)
    TISSUES
    ( Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function
    together as 4a unit.
    There are basic) types of tissue:
    • Connective Tissue
    • Epithelial Tissue
    • Muscle Tissue
    • Nervous Tissue
    LIGAMENT
    A ligament is a fibrous connective tissu
    attaches bone to bone, and usually ser
    to hold structures together and keep them
    CARTILAGE

    The Cartilage is a strong,


    flexible connective tissue that
    protects your joints and bones.
    It acts as a shock absorber
    throughout your body. Cartilage
    at the end of your bones reduces
    friction and prevents them from
    rubbing together when you use
    your joints.
    TENDONS

    A tendon is a cord of
    strong, flexible tissue,
    similar to a rope. Tendons
    connect your muscles to
    your bones. Tendons let us
    move our limbs. They also
    help prevent muscle injury
    by absorbing some of the
    impact your muscles take
