Thislessoncovers: • Part 1 - Five functions of bones • Part 2 – Parts of a bone • Part 3 – Types of joints • Part 4 – Bone names • Part 5 – Connective Tissue • Part 6 – Three types of muscles • Part 7 – How muscles work • Part 8 – Muscle names • Part 9 – Muscle and bone problems • Part 10 – Care of muscles & bones
Part 1: Five functions of bones Your bones have five really important jobs: • Protection • Structure & Support • Movement • Make Blood Cells • Store Minerals
1) Protection • Your bones protect important body organs • For example, your skull protects your brain
1) Protection • Your ribs protect your lungs and heart • Your vertebrae protect your spinal cord
2) Structure and Support • Your bones give your body structure, support, and shape • Without bones, you would be a giant blob
Can you guess the animal based on the shape of the skeleton? • Dog • Bat • Snake • Frog
3) Movement • Muscles connect to bones to allow for movement
3) Movement • Muscles contract, pulling your bones in a certain direction
4) Make Blood Cells • Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are made in the bone marrow
5) Store Minerals • Minerals like calcium and phosphorus are stored inside your bones
5) Store Minerals • These minerals make bones strong and hard to break
Part 2: Parts of a bone • The saying “dry as a bone” is not correct • Bones are alive • They have all sorts of cool layers
Label the Bone Parts: Bone Marrow Spongy Bone Bone Marrow Cavity Periosteum Compact Bone
Explain the Bone Parts: Bone Marrow:Where blood cells are formed Spongy Bone:Lighter, more porous Periosteum:Thin outer membrane Peri = outer, edge Osteo = bone Bone Marrow Cavity:Contains bone marrow Compact Bone:Harder, heavier, more dense
Osteons are cylinder-shaped structures containing bone cells See how bone cells connect to each other for strength
Part 3: Types of Joints • Any point at which bones meet is called a joint • Most joints are movable, such as elbows, knees, fingers, and toes
Part 3: Types of Joints • Some joints do not move • For example: • Where bones of your skull meet • Your tailbone (coccyx)
Newborn babies have soft spots where the sutures have not yet closed permanently
Let’s look at the following kinds of joints: • Hinge • Gliding • Pivot • Ball and Socket
Hinge Joints: • One direction only • Like a door hinge • Knees & elbows are hinges
Gliding Joints: • Bones can slide and rub against each other • Limited movement • Wrists, ankles
Pivot Joints: • Allow for spinning and limited rotation • Where radius meets humerus at elbow • Where head meets neck
Ball and Socket Joints: • Move in all directions • Allow rotation • Hips and shoulders
Part 4: Bone names • Your body has 206 bones! • Each bone has a name
206Bones? • Cranial bones (8) • Facial bones (14) • In the middle ears (6) • In the throat (1) • Shoulder girdle (4) • In the thorax (25) • Ribs (2 x 12) • Vertebral column (24) • In the arms (2) • In the forearms (4) • In the hands (54) • In the pelvis (4) • In the thighs (2) • In the legs (6) • In the feet (52)
Vertebrae (back bones) 7 total 12 total 5 total Sacrum: 5 Coccyx: 4
1 – Cranium (skull) • 2 – Mandible (jaw) • 3 – Clavicle (collar bone) • 4 – Sternum (breast bone) • 5 - Humerus • 6 - Ribs • 7 – Vertebrae (back) • 8 - Pelvis • 9 – Ulna (pinky side) • 10 – Radius (thumb side) • 11 - Carpals • 12 - Metacarpals • 13 – Phalanges (fingers) • 14 - Femur • 15 – Patella (knee cap) • 16 – Tibia (shin) • 17 – Fibula (outside ankle) • 18 - Tarsals • 19 - Metatarsals • 20 – Phalanges (toes)
Part 5: Connective Tissue • Let’s look at four types of connective tissue • Ligaments • Tendons • Cartilage • Synovial Fluid
Ligaments: • Connect bones to bones at a joint
Ligaments: • Strong cords of tissue that hold your skeleton together • Keep your joints from popping out of place every time you move
Ligaments: • Ligaments can be damaged!
Tendons: • Attach muscle to bone
Tendons: • Tough bands of tissue • Very strong and flexible
Tendons: • The Achilles Tendon attaches the calf muscle to the back of the heel • Rupturing this tendon is not a good idea
