  1. Support and Locomotion The skeletal and muscular systems

  2. Locomotion • The ability to move from place to place • Motile • Remember, organisms that can not move are stationary or sessile.

  3. Why Move? • Easier to obtain food • Easier to find a suitable place to live • Escape from predators • Reproduction and finding a mate

  4. Locomotion generally requires… • A muscular system and a skeletal system

  5. Endoskeleton- Bone and cartilage inside body walls Examples) vertebrates like us Exoskeleton- Hard outer material made of calcium or chitin Examples) clams, oysters, insects, crabs, spiders 2 types of skeletal systems

  6. Endoskeleton Exoskeleton

  7. Ameba Paramecium Euglena Pseudopods Cilia Flagella Locomotion in Protist-a review

  8. Paramecium Euglena Ameba

  9. Human Skeletal System • Made of : • Bone • Cartilage • Ligaments • Tendons

  10. Bone-”osteo-” • Connective tissue that is hard and inflexible • Site of attachment for muscles • Gives body shape and support • Protection • Storage for minerals (calcium, phosphorus) • Produces blood cells

  11. Diagram of Human Skeletal System

  12. Cartilage • Connective tissue able to bend • Embryos have skeletons of cartilage • Turns to bone by ossification after birth • Function: Cushions against impact or pressure

  13. Joints • Points where bones meet

  14. Ligaments • Connective tissue holding bones of a joint together

  15. Tendons • Connective tissue attaching muscle to bone

  16. The muscular system • Three types of muscle • Skeletal • Smooth • Cardiac

  17. Skeletal Muscle • Used for voluntary movements • Has a striated or striped appearance

  18. Smooth Muscle • Used for automatic, involuntary movements • Ex) walls of alimentary canal, diaphragm

  19. Cardiac Muscle • Heart muscle • Involuntary • Striped appearance
