Human Skeletal System Overview

The skeletal system serves as the framework of the body and has major functions of body support, facilitation of movement, and protection of internal organs. It is mainly composed of bones classified into the axial skeleton including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum, and the appendicular skeleton including shoulder, arm, hand, hip, leg, and foot bones. The skeletal system has important functions of support, protection, and allowing movement by providing attachment for muscles.

The human body is
made up of different
kinds of bones. These
bones are called
skeleton. The human
skeleton is the internal
framework of the body.
The skeletal system
serves as the framework
of the body.
Its major functions are:

[Link] support
[Link] of movement
[Link] of internal
organs
The skeletal system is mainly composed of bones which
are
classified into two divisions, the axial and the appendicular
skeleton.
The axial skeleton
includes the skull,
vertebral column, ribs, and
sternum. These bones form
the axes or framework of
the trunk and head.

The appendicular skeleton


includes the bones of the
shoulder, arms, hands,
hips, legs, and feet.
The human skeletal system has several important
functions.
1. Support -The skeletal system provides the
framework which supports and maintains
shape of the body. It gives the body much
needed support.
2. Protection -The skeletal system protects
the internal organ of the body.
3. Movement- The skeletal system provides
an
attachment for the muscle which makes
body
movements possible.
There are 3 kinds of
muscles
Smooth Muscles

•Smooth muscles are called involuntary


muscles (cannot be controlled
consciously).

•Present in the walls of the digestive tract


like esophagus, stomach, and intestine.
Cardiac Muscle
• Involuntary muscles present only in the heart.

• Allows the heart muscle to contract rhythmically.

• Your heart beat at the rate of 70 times per minute


or more than 100,000 times a day.
Skeletal Muscles

•Voluntary muscles that are consciously


controlled to move bones.

•Make up the large part of the arm, legs,


chest, and abdomen.
JOINTS - It is a place where two bones meet.
BONE - It is a hard structure that protect the
body’s internal organ.
LIGAMENT - Connective tissues that can be
stretched, hold the joints and connect bones.

CARTILAGE - It is more flexible material than


bone. It serves as a protective layer where
bones come together.
TENDON - These are bands of connective
tissues that connect muscles to bone, or
