Skeletal System
Body's support structure and protection
View source
Musculoskeletal System
The muscular and skeletal systems work together to support and move the body
View source
Major functions of Skeletal System
Support
Protection
Movement
Storage
Blood cell protection
View source
Support
The bones and cartilages provide the framework to maintain the body shape
View source
Protection
It protects the internal organs (skull, rib cage, lungs, spinal cord etc.)
View source
Movement
Wider range of body movements because of coordinated action of skeletal system
View source
Storage
Bones are reservoir of minerals like phosphorus and calcium. It plays an important role in calcium metabolism
View source
Blood cell protection
The bone marrow is a site of hematopoiesis where the formation of blood cells takes place
View source
Extracellular Matrix
It contains collagen, proteoglycan and water and minerals in the matrix to determine the characteristics of connective tissues
View source
Extracellular Matrix
Tissue development (e.g. wound healing)
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the ECM and support resident cells
Proteoglycan are large molecules consisting of polysaccharides attached to core proteins
Most of the minerals in bones is in the form of calcium phosphate crystals called hydroxyapatite
The bone, cartilage, tendons (muscle-bone), and ligaments (bones-bones) are all connective tissues
View source
Categories of Bones
Long Bones
Short Bones
Flat Bones
Irregular Bones
View source
Long Bones
Are longer than they are wide (e.g. Humerus, Femur, Fibula, Tibia)
View source
Short Bones
Cube and contain mostly spongy bone (e.g. Carpal bone(wrist) and, Tarsal bone (ankle)
View source
Flat Bones
Flat shape (e.g. skull, ribs, sternum, scapulate)
View source
Irregular Bones
Fairly complex shape which protect internal organs (e.g. vertebrae, sacrum, ear ossicles)
View source
Homeostasis
Internal stability
View source
Blood Sugar (High)
1. Insulin
2. Glucose (C6H12O6)
3. Glycogen
View source
Blood Sugar (Low)
1. Glycogon
2. Glycogen
3. Glucose (C6H12O6)
View source
Calcium (Low)
1. Pyrathyroid Gland release hormones (PTH)
2. PTH stimulates osteoclast to breakdown bone and calcium which will release to the blood stream
3. PTH Stimulates the kidney to take up calcium from the urine and return it to the blood. (release urine)
4. PTH activates vitamin D formation which promotes absorption of calcium through small intestine
View source
Calcium (High)
1. Thyroid Gland
2. Calcitonin inhibits osteoclast (decrease blood calcium level that are too high
View source

View source
Appendicular Skeleton
Clavicle
Scapula
Humerus
Ulna
Radius
Carpal bones (metacarpal bones, phalanges)
Fibula
Patella
Tibia
Femur
Tarsal bones (metatarsal bones, phalanges)
View source
Types of Ribs
True Ribs
False Ribs
View source
True Ribs
7 ribs are attached directly to the sternum by costal cartilages
View source
False Ribs
12 ribs that do not attached to the sternum but connected to cartilages
View source
Muscular System
Composed of specialized cells called muscle fiber
View source
Major Functions of Muscular System
Responsible for movement
Maintain posture
Respiration
Aerobic Respiration
Anaerobic respiration
Production of body heat
Communication
Constriction of organs and vessels
Contraction of the heat
View source
Aerobic Respiration
Requires the presence of oxygen to breakdown food energy to generate ATP
View source
Anaerobic respiration
Breakdown energy stores in the absence of oxygen to produce ATP
View source
Peristalsis
Series of wave-like muscle contractions that move through the digestive tract
View source
Mitochondria
An organelle that is abundance in our muscle which convert nutrients into ATP to stores energy
View source
Types of Muscles
Skeletal Muscles (Voluntary)
Cardiac Muscles (Involuntary)
Smooth Muscles (Involuntary)
View source
Skeletal Muscles
Tissue attached to bones and allows movement, long and cylindrical
View source
Cardiac Muscles
The muscle specific to the heart, branched
View source
Smooth Muscles
Located in internal organs including the digestive tract, blood vessels, glands, spindle shaped
View source
Sliding Filament Theory
View source
Nervous System
Uses nerve cells called neurons to send signals, or messages, all over your body
View source
Functions of Nervous System
Receiving sensory input
Integrating information
Controlling muscles and glands
Maintaining homeostasis
Establishing and maintaining mental activity
View source
Division of the Nervous system
Central Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous System
View source
Central Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System (voluntary control)
