    SKELETAL SYSTEM
    The Skeletal System gives
    the body structural support
    and shape. It holds the body
    as one and allows it to move.
    BONES
    •There are around 206 bones in your body. When you
    were a baby,you had about 305 bones, some of them
    eventually fusing together. Each bone has a specific size
    and shape that matches its function. There are long and
    short bones. There are flat bones and irregularly
    shaped bones.

    •The bones in your body have two divisions. The axial


    skeleton protects the delicate organs in the body. The
    appendicular skeleton provides support and aids the
    body in movement.
    •The axial skeleton is composed of bones that protect,
    like the skull, backbone, breastbone, and ribs. The skull
    protects the brain.It is made up of many bones which are
    fused together to form a helmet-like structure called the
    cranium. Attached to the skull is the backbone or spinal
    column. It is made up of irregularly shaped, hollow
    bones called vertebrae (singular:vertebra) that are
    stacked on top of each other.

    •The breastbone is a long flat bone at the middle of


    the chest. It is attached to the ribs. The breastbone and
    ribs enclose the heart and lungs.
    • The appendicular skeleton is composed of bones that aid
    movement. These include the collarbones, the shoulder
    blades, and the bones of the arm, legs, and hips.

    • The bones that protrude at the base of the neck are the
    collarbones. They are attached to triangular bones called
    shoulder blades. Both bones stabilize the rib cage and
    connect the shoulders to the arms.

    • The arm has three bones, one in the upper arm and two in
    the lower arm. Each hand also has several bones for the
    fingers and palm.The same can be said for the leg. It has one
    long one in the upper leg, as well as two bones in the lower
    leg. Between the upper and lower leg is the kneecap. The
    foot also has several bones.

    MUSCULAR SYSTEM
    The muscles give the body
    shape and mass. They support
    the skeleton and keep it steady.
    They are also repsonsbile for
    body movement. Muscles enable
    you to stand, walk, run and
    dance.
