    The Human Skeleton

    Uploaded by

    The document provides information about the human skeletal system. It is divided into three parts: the axial skeleton which includes the skull, sternum, ribs, and backbone; the appendicular skeleton which includes the bones of the upper and lower body and shoulders/pelvis; and four categories of bones - long, short, flat, and irregular. It describes the composition of bones as being made of compact and spongy bone tissue, as well as bone cells and minerals. Additional links are provided for more information on anatomy terms, audio recordings, an interactive skeleton, and a movie about the skeletal system.

    System
     Provides shape and form
     Supporting, protecting, and allowing
    bodily movement
     Produces blood for blood cells
     Storing minerals

    Types of Bones
    The bones of the body fall into four general
    categories: long bones, short bones, flat
    bones, and irregular bones. Long bones are
    longer than they are wide and work as
    levers. The bones of the upper and lower
    extremities are of this type. Short bones are
    short, cube-shaped, and found in the wrists
    and ankles. Flat bones have broad surfaces
    for protection of organs and attachment of
    muscles Irregular bones are all others that
    do not fall into the previous categories. They
    have varied shapes, sizes, and surfaces
    features and include the bones of the
    Bone Composition
    Bones are composed of tissue that may take
    one of two forms. Compact, or dense bone, and
    spongy, or cancellous, bone. Most bones
    contain both types. Compact bone is dense,
    hard, and forms the protective exterior portion
    of all bones. Spongy bone is inside the compact
    bone and is very porous (full of tiny holes).
    Spongy bone occurs in most bones. The bone
    tissue is composed of several types of
    bone cells embedded in a web of inorganic
    salts (mostly calcium and phosphorus) to give
    the bone strength, and collagenous fibers and
