  1. The Skeletal System Sabrina Pralle, EmreTaner, Simone Frandsen and Breanna McGuire

  2. The Basics • Long bones produce red blood cells • Provides support and structure for locomotion • Protection of major organs • Bones are the major organs of the skeletal system • There are two main divisions on the skeletal system

  3. Minerals present • Calcium • Potassium • Manganese • Magnesium • Silica • Iron • Zinc • Selenium • Boron • Phosphorus • Sulfur • Chromium

  4. Types of Bone • Flat • Thin and relatively flat but may be curved • EX: Sternum • Irregular • Is not regular in shaped • EX: Vertebra • Long • Longer than they are wide • EX: Femur • Short • Almost as wide as they are long • EX: Carpal bones http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/interactives/3djigsaw_02/index.shtml?skeleton

  5. Different Layers of the Bone • Epiphyses • Epiphyseal Plate/Epiphyseal line • Diaphysis • Red marrow • Articular cartilage • Periosteum • Medullary cavity • Yellow marrow • Endosteum • Osteoblasts and osteoclasts

  6. Types of Joints • Hinge • Pivot • Saddle • Ball-and-socket • Condyloid • Planar (gliding)

  7. Types of Cartilage • Hyaline • Fibrocartilage • Elastic

  8. Functions of Cartilage • Cushions joints • Flexibility and the capacity to bend • Resilience and give

  9. Disorders, diseases, deficiencies • Osteoporosis • Arthritis • Polydactyl • Calcium deposits/ deficiencies • Bone spurs • Osteogenesisimperfecta • Bone cancer • Bursitis • Scoliosis • Fractures
