  2. FUNCTIONS • 206 bones form a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body are attached. • Vital organs are protected by the skeletal system. • The brain is protected by the surrounding skull as the heart and lungs are encased by the sternum and rib cage.

  3. Musculo-Skeletal system • Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. • Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. • Bones are connected to each other by ligaments. • Where bones meet one another is typically called a joint.

  4. Divisions of the SkeletonAXIAL SKELETON • Consists of bones that form the axis of the body and support and protect the organs of the head, neck, and trunk. • AXIAL Skeleton • The skull is the bony framework of the head. • The sternum is a flat, dagger shaped bone located in the middle of the chest.

  6. Divisions of the SkeletonAXIAL SKELETON • The ribs are thin, flat, curved bones that form a protective cage around the organs in the upper body. • The vertebral column (also called the backbone, spine, or spinal column) consists of a series of 33 irregularly shaped bones, called vertebrae.

  8. Divisions of the SkeletonAPPENDICULAR SKELETON • Is composed of bones that anchor the appendages to the axial skeleton. • APPENDICULAR Skeleton • The upper extremity consists of three parts: the arm, the forearm, and the hand. • The lower extremity is composed of the bones of the thigh, leg, foot, and the patella (commonly known as the kneecap).

  9. Divisions of the SkeletonAPPENDICULAR SKELETON • The Shoulder Girdle, also called the Pectoral Girdle, is composed of four bones: two clavicles and two scapulae . • The Pelvic Girdle, also called the hip girdle, is composed to two coxal (hip) bones. • Within PELVIC GIRDLE there are several other little bones, the ischium, the pubis, and the ilium.
